dered when she put on gher merciless sub marine warfare. She blundered when she figured that the United States would not get into this war. I say Britannia rules the waves. And I am not bragging either.
 England is now bringing your boys across to France. Every third man in
 England is fighting. We have turned out ships in England from stem to stern
 with women-not man on the job.
 SEE COUNTRIES WE'D
 What I would like to do tonight is to
 put the ring on your finger and on mine,
 and see your country and mine wed, so
 that l could pronounce the benediction and say; What God has united together
 let no man put asunder.'
 What I am trying to do in my work is to be a link between the boys and mothers. I didn't know what was go-
 ing to do until got on the job with the boys. I decided to write my prescrip- ton after I had seen the patient, and that's mighty good thing to do, too. | 1T have never had anyone ask me yet to what church belong-they don't care about that--they don't care what hut 1 you are in, for the first hut they see when they come out of the trenches IS l the one they are going to, and it is the 1 people in that hut, not the organization
 behind it. They know that the people ! in that hut will do the best that they ! can for them.
 Suppose you open your service with 1 sensation-that's better than stagnation l At this point Gypsy asked the audience ! if this work over there among the boys
 was worth while. and in uaison the large l audience answered Yes"

 COLORS OF RAINBOW
 1 For the first time in history Protes- itant, Jew and Cathclfc are coming to- gether for one great cause and we do \ not think of them individually, but las Gods boys. The rainbow has seven coiors and there are seven organiza- tions in this campaign. Some of the icolor from each was taken to make lthe rainbow and it will form a bridge
 where angels will stand and the world
 will no more be divided. You have an
 opportunity of hurrying this day along
 so use it in aiding in rflis drive Be- | fore concluding Gypsy Smith said he loved colors and he loved his flag. but 1 on looking around the theatre he failed to see it.
 l Miss Katy George Boyd. in charge of the Y. W. c. A. work spoke of the l "Woman's Work in the War" from two angles, one bein the work of the Red
 Cross and the other the work of the
 women in munition factories She told | of the splendid way in which the wom-
 en of England and France had taken charge of the work always done by men before the war. and the wonder full spirit with which it was done. These
 women never complain at their lot but are willing to make sacrifices for theii country just as their men. "The Ameri-
