Dearest:
Have you heard the anthem OF
Aarbn and his beard? We heard
it today in church. Our choir is
very good-if let alone, and given
good old-fashIoned Gospel hymns
But start them in on anything
classic and complicated. and they
lose both head and heart. Our or
Eanist has ambition suitable for a
Fifth Avenue Church and a choir
composed OF the very pick OF Grand
Opera singers. Sometimes 1t doesn't
work. we'll with the material he has
on hand. Several times lately he has
essayed anthems which nothing in
the world but a bird OF the air
could sing Today he chose the
anthem Of Aaron and the oil which
ran down his beard. 1 have heard
it sung when 1t sounded rational
and not too messy. but today when
the base and alto finished with
It. this 10 what 1t was nke-"The
oil ran down-Aaron ran-the
beard rsn--ths oil down-the beard
on Aaron ran down the oil-the
oil ran. ran, rsn-Aaron and the
beard and the oiI." Until one got so
confused one didn't know whether
1t was Aaron or the beard, or the
oil which eventually ran. or where
they ran, and how they finally
fetched Up. Ones only thought was
. that Aaron was behaving in such
an extraordinary and improper
manner that 1t was best to have
nothing further to do with him.
Our two mothers gave their help
less little laugh, and the ministers
twelve children started to giggle.
The general completely upset me
by closing one eye for the fraction
OF . second.
We are beginning TO know the
twelve children little by little. 1t
has been an awful task to remem-
Der the names and faces OF so many.
And one feels as II It would be a
peTsonal insult to the minister to
apply the right name to the wrong
child: They are all so horribly
alike! They are little miniature
ministers: The fathers spirit domi-
mates them all! 1t will be interest
ing to note In what strange ways
they will develop when they break
the chrysalls and the ego emerges!
I am learning to love the minis
tsr's wife! We see her very often,
and she has q wonderful spirit of
sympathy and helpfulness In an I'M
obtrusive way. She Is a woman OF
rare devotion, with the power OF
idealizing people with her own good
ness. so that they mistake II for |
their own. She doesn't realize that
the comfort and sympathy she
gathers in from other hearts are
but the expression OF her own kind
soul. Each time talk with her
have an added sense OF the dignity
and repose OF her nature. Our
mothers have a wonderful way OF
discovering and drawing out the
very best in anyone. and with them

Naturally. they do not want their

thing to help a boy In the uniform

because he wears that uniform.
Now. IL you can keep your letters

Ingrowing Terror.

From The Fort Smith Times Record.
 The Huns are now being filled with terror of the advancing allied armies. Excerpts from the German press show that the people are beginning to fear the turning upon themselves of all those acts of atrocity they themselves have practiced upon the French, the Belgians, the Armenians and the pris- oners in their vile camps of starva- tion and disease.
 The Volks Zeitung of Cologne, says the allies are coming wanting to murder, rob and enslave the German men, women and children"
 Such expressions and such fears are perfectly natural when you get the Hun point of view The Hun has been practicing like atrocities upon people in occupied territory and has been taught by forty years of vicious Kul- tur that such was the proper thing to do. Frightfulness has been the Key stone of the Hun warfare. His poison gas, his air raids on defenceless towns, his ruthless submarine warfare on world shipping, his sinking of hos pital ships, his bombing of Red Cross hospitals, his maiming of children, his o1trages upon and murder of women, his wanton, ruthless destruction and devastation of occupied territory were all a part of his studied and pre-ar- ranged policy that was intended to ex- cite terror and dismay and bring all peoples into terrified subjection to Germany.
 The Hun had misled himself He erred in his judgment of the effect of his terrorism. The world upon which he attempted to force this fear was of different mettle. Instead of fear, the world felt only that his terrorism must be put down at all hazards and at any sacrifice. The spirit of human ity rose superor to fear. The instinct of the race for self-protection was too deeply seated to be moved by such baseness and perfdy. The world is in arms today against it and it is be- ing put down. never more to rise.
 The terror that the Hun hoped and expected to inspire is now an ingrow- ing fear and terror. The terrorism was the role of the bully. The ingrowing fear is still the characteristic of the bully--when he is whipped-as the Hun bully is whipped today. It is characteristic of the whipped bully to cringe and whine and to fear that the villiany that he perpetrated is about to be returned upon his own head.

PLAY EXCITING GAME.
London Aerial Watchdogs Play Moth
 and Flame" With Foes.

London, Aug. 17.--"The moth and the flame" is little game of hide and seek which is played over London at night now and then, the moth being an aviator of the eity's defense forces and the flame a searchlight designed to dazzle the German gothas when they come in droves to lombard the metropolis.
 These "rehearsals" take place at intervals, the director of searchlights being notified in advance that an all lied machine is to ascend, but neither the time nor the locality are given. Then the game of the flame is to find the moth and keep the ras of the searchlight fastened upon the flying machine.
 To Londoners, the airplane appears like a great moth, or a white speck in the sky, and the searchlight's rays re- minds one of a great white ribbon extending from the earth to the air plane and beyond
 And the moth dives and darts and futters about and sometimes manages to dodge the flame, but not for long.
 Down below Londoners are craning their necks and enjoying the game to the fullest extent.

Lieut.. Parish Writes From France.

Dear Mr. St John:
 l suppose it is now prohibited for a Mena boy to write word to his home paper But since have been in France l have read so many thrilling accounts of fellows living by me that never could quite make up my mind to write to a newspaper.
 It is about a friend of mine, Mir. Little Riding, that I want to ask you. When I was in Mena last Sep tember his father told me he was fly ing at Dayton, o. Soon after that I came across and have tried to locate him here. have written MT. and Mrs. Riding, but perhaps my letter did not reach them. As we are from the same place and in the same game, l would like to see him some time if I knew where he was. Can you tell me?
 The flying is going great over here. It is about the only one 1 know any thing about. have seen nothing but aeroplanes for months and every thing looks like a propeller turning before my face. We have the new American plane now. I like it pret- ty well, but of course it is quite diff ferent from the small scout ships tkSt I have been accustomed to. Anything or anybody that is American is all right in this neck of the woods
 I'm sorry to say that many of our stauneh Americans are going to in habit the historic chateaus of France after the war. We are having fine time over here and the French people seem glad to have us with them.
 In the last week have been four trips over Paris in the new American piaae. It is a real treat to see Paris from the clouds.

HOME SUPPORT FOR ARMY

 Phil COnnclI.


 From The Fort Smith Times Record.
 Its the backing that we get at home that is going to win this war and the honors when they are divided should go as much to those that are backing us at home as to ourselves who are sacrificing our good homes in the best country in the world and for the best cause in the world" writes Sergeant Jack P Cornell, of Mena, Ark, former student of the Fort Smith high school, to A. D. Rianhard, manager of the Gay Oil Company's plant here. Cornell was formerly em- ployed at the Gay company's local offices. He is now in England, mem Der of the 6Srd aero squadron, A. E. F.
 eff the people of the United States will stand pat behind the President and the army abroad i know that the army will bring home the bacon in very short time.
 "As to the kaiser's scalp, why, there are million Tanks after that birds hair and am afraid that some of us are going to be greatly disappointed, but one consolation we will have is knowing the fact that we helped to get the animal"
 Cornell states that more men are still needed in France. He writes that army life is very agreeable to him Physically, he says, he has improved 100 per cent and has never exper- fenced sick day since he joined the colors He speaks highly of the food served the soldiers. The British dis play unusual interest in their Ameri- can cousins and treat them royalty, writes Cornell. He says the fourth of July celebration in London was one of the most momentous events in British history.
