busy saving their crops. Our first
stop was at the home Of H. Habbinga,

named, is he. He and son, Dick were
running binders and harvesting a
good crop. We next visited Rein

Boy" in hard way with rheumatism,
but still in the ring. We did not get
to see his crop, but we did see some
mighty good stock. One yearling fill
ly that would make a showing in any
ring. The best crop that we have
seen in more than a 1000 miles of
travel in the past few weeks was that
of NJ Goebel and his sons. He claim
ed that the boys engineered the farm,
but we noticed that he made a full
hand He has 80 acres in the home
field, and 20 acres will show up with
any crop any where, any place, any

any. At Ben Strives the editor

sold. We found crops spotted, but
we are convinced that the Alternately

New York Citv.

New York City.
Dear Bro. Randolph,
have been so busy studying
French from two to three hours
a day, taking arithmetic and
drilling in singing and drilling
on the drill ground with our
uniforms on. Wish you could
be with us We have a number
of Mississippi men and several
preachers.
We are supposed to be in
training about eight days, but
the delay in passports and con
gestion here in New York has
delayed things some, and SO de-
layed the llth conference. 1t
will convene in about ten days.
One hundred or more of our
"Y" workers left out from New
York last night. They go out
quietly and alone almost. Some
times they leave the hotels and
are kept here in sight Of New
York for ten days or more.
This is the experience of my
life. You can't imagine about
the war hardly until you see the
night movements here. They
turn on the search lights at
night to look for aeroplanes and
the whole city is under the
strictest army regulations with
thousands of men on board ships
waiting. 1t is a sight to see.
| want to write you again but
you write me and any news viii
be acceptable of any dgseriptiei
and you write me soon as you
get this.
Tell Fred Mcdonnell to let
you have the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle. | think you will enjoy
some of the sermons in it. /
know some of them are no good.
| hope you and family are wei
and you will move on with the
work and | want you to send me
any clipping of any kind politi
cally or otherwise for it will al
be news over there"
| am glad | went into thi
work for God can use me here
as he could not in Okolona. J
want you to pray for me, ca
my name say BRO. O'Briant |
in your praying and don't yol
pray without including me alst |
my wife and little girl. MAY |
God make you stronger ane
and better and graciously Use
you.
Give my love to your family
and congregation. Give the ad

than do now.

Letter from jeff RubeI
Liverpool England,
July 5, 1918.

LEAR MolAeT anu Idu,
Have written you several let
ters but could not tell YOU all
about my trip, so will now try to
describe some of my experiences
on our way over and the few
days 1 have been ia England.
We were in dock on 23rd street,
New York, nearly week before
sailing and coud not leave the
boat; but as you know up until
that time / worked in Flower
Hospital in the city. Well to go
on with my story, we left New
York harbor on the morning of
the Goth of June at nine o'clock.
We were conveyed all that day
by about six sub chasers, bat
tie ship, first class cruiser, two
airplanes and two dirigibIes.3
Our first two days were most
beautiful for sailing, but on the
third day we struck a storm.
By the way up until the storm /
had charge of the isolation
wards, but during the storm
most of our hospital men were
sea sick, so were more in tn
way than doing good and ont
other man were the only ones
not to get sick. | was not sict
a minute during the whole trip.
The second day of this storm
there was a bunch of soldiers
and sailors, that we were trans
porting to this side, lying on the
decks out side and on top. A
big wave came over the ship ano
a great number were severely
wounded from being washed
against the bulk heads. / had
nothing to do at that time, so /
rushed down to see if / could
help them out and the first thing
! struck was the operating. room
and they had just brought in a,
fellow with a fractured skull and
the fellow in charge of the
operating room began TO weaken
and got sick so the doctor asked
him to leave the room and put me
in charge and so have been in
charge ever since. The doctors
came around after everything
was over that is after twelve
or fifteen operations and COM
plimented me highly on my con-
duct and how | carried every
thing out. They want to give
me a raise on account of it and
will am sure very soon. Don't
be frightened at this letter. II
enjoyed it, for it was so in
teresting not exactly fun but
great experience. After this
cur voyage was splendid all tn
way to Liverpool. | will send
you a map sometime soon show
ing you our course.
On our second day in port
was given liberty and saw a
little of Liverpool. There isn't
very much to see for it is a dull
town. These people are far be-
hind modtrl times. Day before
yesterday saw twenty-five or
thirty German prisoners. They
we're tough looking citizens.
They look at one as if they
would like to eat one up. They
are awful looking humans, that
is if you were to call them
humans.
My senior medical officer gave
me forty-eight hours off because
/ worked hard coming over, so !
took trip to London for the 4th
of July and l certainly was,
shown a royal time. went all
over the city in a car rode all
We saw Buckingham
Palace with the Kings royal
guards all around on herso
draped in silver harness, ais,
saw Westminster Abbey and
nearly all places of interest. Int,
the afternoon we went to a big
bali game between the American
army and navy. You know
