Text: Blessed Is the Nation,
Whose God Is the Lord"

Three thousand years have 81
lently passed into history, since
the sacred singer Of Israel chanted
the words of our text. Standing as
he did on the heights of Israel S
mountain of prosperity, he care
fully compared the golden situa-
ton of his people with the chaotic
condition of other peoples, he was
divinely inspired to break forth
in strains of sacred melody, and
song that went careering through
all the host of Israel.
If there is one thing for which
we should admire the Hebrew peo-
pie it is their devotion to the moni-
theistic principles of religion,
."Thou shall have no other Gods
before me-" is divine command,
which they have observed with sa-
cred reverence through all the
centuries of their existence. Upon
this theistic principle, they have
deeply layed the foundations of
their moral, religious, political and
social economy, which has enabled
them to endure, and even triumph
over relentless opposition and
cruel oppression.
The Hebrew nation is a unit to-
day though scattered abroad up
on the face of the globe. Slavery,
war, dispersion, and prejudice and
to destroy the faith, strength, and
courage Of this people, whose God
is the Lord.
Their God has wonderfully
blessed them. Through them, the
almighty has given to the world
the purest literature, the highest
code of civil law, and moral ethics.
Pure and undefiled religion exem-
plified in the life and personality
of Jesus Christ.
Mankind has been vainly strug-
Cling through all the ages past in
a sort of Heterogeneous way to de-
velop a civilization that would
meet the requirement, and sustain
the longings of the human soul.
Political governments have been
constructed, and have blazed
forth as meteors, dazzling the
world with their wealth of power
and influence. Religious ideas of
all sorts have been advanced, and
millions Of devotees have worship
ped at the shrines.
These governments and rell-
gions have arisen into power, and
sank into decay, because of lack
nf the great essential clement en-

Important---Save Fruit Pits and
Nut Shells

Another appeal has been issued
to the people through the Red
Cross to save all peach pits, prune
pits, cherry stones, date and olive
seeds, also all kinds of nut shells.
These are used in the making of
gas masks, and as it takes two
hundred peach pits to furnish car
bon for one mask, it is necessary
to push this saving with zeal. The
small black walnuts found in this
vicinity can be used whole, and
during these vacation days it would
be excellent patriotic service for
the boys and girls to give their
time to this work.
The pits and shells may be
brought to the Red Cross room on
Wednesday afternoons after two
O'Clock.

Raising Belgian Hares

Raising Belgian hares and other
fancy rabbits has long been re-
garded as a pleasant and profitable
side line and a source of ecOnomi-
cal meat supply. A Benson man,
Mr.. E. A. Brown, is trying his hand
at the game and so far is meeting
with success.
A Signal representative took a
look over his rabbitry one day re-
Gently, and found it we'll fitted up
for the purpose for which intended.
There are about a dozen pens, or
hutches,' containing thorough
bred Belgian and other high grade
stock, not to mention a consider
able number of mixed-breed ami
mails. One thoroughbred buck no.
ticed is pure white, is of large size
and looks like a prize winner. In
fact all look healthy and thrifty
Everything is kept neat and clean
around the hutches, all of which
are enclosed in a larger yard sur
rounded OIL the four sides and top
with poultry wire.
With the prices of meats con-
tinually rising the raising'of rabbits
is we'll worthy OF attention.

Activities of the Red
Cross Society
OF World Scope in Its Power
for Doing Good -

There are 5000, 900 women in
this country working with their
hands for the soldiers and refugees.
Their work has not only balanced
the account of $33, 100000 which
chapters retained from the war
funds and memberships, but they
are exactly $11, 900, 900 ahead of
the game. They have made over
221, 100000 articles of clothing
and hospital supplies valued at
$44 100000. These busy women
dou't bother their heads enough
about accounts to interfere with
their hands, but by steady and uni
form work have made a showing
of 33 13 per cent on the capital
they have used to buy materials,
conduct home service and canteen
work and meet local emergencies.
Even a war proflteer might be sat-
isfed with such results, and it is
quite certain that the soldiers and
refugees who have benefited from
their labor are more than salts
fed.

fear their being attacked by that
disease, you should procure bot
tie of Chamberlain's Cough Rem

use, so that in case of an attack
you will know exactly what course
to pursue. This is favorite and
very successful remedy for Group,
and it is important that you OBJ

Interesting Letter Giving Every
Day Experiences at Front

On the Front, Sept. II, 1918.
Dear Sister: Had begun to think
you had forgotten me, but yester-
day I got two letters from you. I
did pretty we'll yesterday, as I re-
ceived five letters, one of which
was from mother. . Well,
with the smashing blows Fritz is
getting now l don't think it will
take much longer to get him. He
is surely getting it on every side
now. and if we don't get him this
year when spring comes we will,
for by that time we will have a
tremendous big army ready. He
is surely finding out the Americans
are some fighters. Any time a
German thinks an American will
lay down to him he is off. The
French say the Americans don't
know when they are whipped
They can't see why our boys take
such chances. Our casualties prob
ably wouldn't be quite SO heavy if
they didn't, but it IS natural for the
boys ia take chances, and most
generally they get away with it.
We've got pretty good looking
bunch of prisoners here, while on
the other front they were mix
ture of from young kids to old
grav-headed men. It looked like
al shame when I saw some our men
had captured. Some didn't look a
day over fifteen, if they were that.
They captured a German chaplain
the other day. He was wounded
in one leg, and when they brought
him in | really felt sorry for him.
We were stationed right close to a
field hospital and as l had a friend
working in it, was up there most
of the day. Most of the wounded
brought in were wet to the skin.
It was rather chilly, but they were
in the best of spirits and you would
scarcely hear a whimper. I made
two trips to the hospital the other
night. and only had one man
whimper, and he was the least
hurt of the bunch Had to haul
them about twelve miles, and the
roads were awful. Most of France
has fine roads, but up here they
haven't had time to fix them yet;
but the engineers are busy day and
night repairing them, and they
work wonders in a dry or two.
The other night I had engine
trouble when I was up close to the
front, and maybe you think |
didd't have a sweet time. It is bad
enough driving without lights, but
when you have engine trouble in
