The world needs, the heart Graves, a
gospel of good cheer. Never was that
more true than today. The gospel of
Jesus Christ is a gospel of good cheer.
He not only says tBe of good Cheer
but is able to bring good cheer under
all circumstances. In seven places in
the New Testament occurs the phrase
.''be Of good cheer" Let us notice the
setting of the phrase. In each instance
it is spoken to those who are in great
distress. Christ said it to a man help
lessly sick with the palsy, Math. $50.
He thus greeted his discouraged and
frightened disciples who had toiled all
night against the storm at sea (Math.
l4:27, Mark 6:50) with these words.
Jesus comforted his Borrowing disciples
on the eve of his arrest and crucifixion
(John 16:33). To the apostle Paul the
Lord appeared when he was in prison,
bounded by malignant enemies, greet
ing him with these words and assuring
him he would be rescued and spared to
carry the gospel message to Rome.
which was one Of the great desires of
his heart (Acts 23:11).
Again to Paul and by Paul to the sol,
diers and sailors did these words bring
hope as they faced death in the two
weeks terrible storm ON the Mediter-
I%ranean sea (Acts ~27:22-25).
These instances cover all human G
pcriences A savior who can cheer us
at such times: in sickness, involving
helplessness and suffering: in times of
separation from those we love invol-
wing loss, disappointment, l~oniless, fore
boding; in times of stress and storm,
danger, perplexity, difficulty, perils OF
b~urdensome duties; when opposition as
sails, enemies are bitter and hatred is
expressing itself in malicious attacks,
or thrusts in the dark at character OF
reputation.
Good cheer is the fruit Of a brave
heart. Courage comes through faith
Jesus Christ is an inspirer OF faith.
Who trusts in him will never despair
but hope will ever abound. s'These
things have I spoken unto you, that in
me we maye have peace. In the world
We shall have tribulation: but be Of
good cheer: I have overcome the
World.''

God, and a corresponding failure to de-
sire above all else the friendship Of God
himself. The same growth ought to

which occurs in a normal fellowship
between a child and his parents. At
first the child wants the parents gifts
and thinks of the parents largely in
terms Of the things which they do for
his comfort and pleasure. He is not
able yet to appreciate the value Of the
parents personalities. A sure sign of
wholesome maturity, however, is found
in the child's deepening understanding
of the parents themselyes-his incrcas-

fulness for their care, acceptance of
their ideals, reliance on their counsel
and joy in their approval. The cpt1d
grows through desiring things from IFS
parents into love Of his parents, for

true in his own case and in that of all
the nations responsible for this world
calamity.
To satisfy an unholy ambition he

all in vain.
And there is impending the loss of
his throne and sceptre as one Of the
sacrifices for which he had not plan

But the sacrifices do not confine
themselves to the nations responsible
for the war, for in a sense higher and
nobler It has been a war of sacrifices
for all the people.
Who can tell the sacrifices made by
the resisting nations who have fought
for existence, for honor, for the cause
of humanity, to make the world safe
for free peoples, and for the individual
rights of the man, woman and childd.

These things determine the character

Autumn is the harvest season Of the
year. All the work of nature, through
spring and summer, has resulted in ma
tured and ripened leaves and grains
and nuts and fruits. The sun and show.
ers, air and electricity, earth and water
all have been laboring together unde
the laws of life and growth to bring
about the wonderful bounty of provi-
dence. And now the time has come to
arrange and settle all this into the en-
during crust Of the earth. Winter will
establish and make permanent the work
of nature in the world.
Winter is not death, but storage
time! We reap as we have sown and
gather into the barns and s~torehouses.
And thus the earth becomes richer and
the rootage of al true life deeper and
stronger.
The beauty Of our Lord and God is
in His creations and revelations and in
the outworking of the laws of life and
love in nature and human nature. We
may see this beauty all about us. We
should earnestly desire that our lives
bear a part of it and share its gloryl

which He accomplishes His Work. Is

prayer and it has broken down under
them. Prayer alone cannot accomplish
everything. Prayer must be aeeompa-

failed because we got war. We did not
fulfill the conditions of successful
prayer. Prayer Is subject to law. The
law of prayer is that it must be con,

not win the war. Neither win any
other single force that you may name
But prayer working with other forces
will help nightly.

When the world actually works and
prays for peace we viii have peace.
We do not want to change the will of
God. God wills the very best for his
children. We have spoiled the plans
and purposes of God. Plenty Of things
happen in this old world that God does
not like. What We want to do in pray
er is to find out the will Of God and
bring ourselves up to it and follow it.
If today one crosses the borders of

London, Oct. 4.-(By mail.)--To ia.
cilitate American troop transportation
England is today serving as a huge
side-switch on one Of the chief military
routes to Francc-a siding on which
large numbers Of American units are
stored temporarily until sea transports
are available to take them across the
channel.
For hundreds Of thousands Of middle

~doughboys it constitutes a delightful
stopping off place on their trip from
New York to the battle fields Of Eu-
rope.
Between SO and 60 camps, filled with
American soldiers, waiting to 60 to
France arc scattered over an Lligiand
from the channel to the Scottish bord-
er. There are also camps in Scotland
and SOME in ireland.
A staff Of Americas ablest railroad
men is cooperating with British army
officers, distributing the soldiers
among these camps, then picking them
up again and forwarding them to
France. At its head is Colonel M. G.
Kennedy, Chambersburg, Pa, piesi-
dent Of the Cumberland Valley branch
of the Pennsylvania lines. Another
Pennsylvania lines man, Captain w. s.
Franklin, Philadelphia, is second in au-
thority. Chief of the entire organiza-
tion is Major General Biddle, comman-
der Of all American forces in British
Isles.
Without noticeable congestion Of
railways, this staff Is able to remove an
entire convoy Of Americans to camp
within a few hours after their Arrival
at an English port. And the conveys
are comAng in constantly.
Many of the camps are in the most
beautiful districts near quaint old ea-
thcdral towns, with histories running
back to the time Of Alfred; in peaceful
farming districts, with tieir neat brick
farm houses and hedge-bordered fields
and ven among the highlands Of Scot
land.
In some camps the men live in bar.
racks; in others, under cover. BY WIN
