TOUCH FRENCH HEARTS
BY ACTS OF KINDNESS

Joseph r. Fingers. son Of Rev. r.
L. VI. and Mrs. Engers, formerly OF
Mishawaka, has written an interest
ing letter from France 10 his par
ents, which has been forwarded to
their daughter, Miss Olive Engers,
teacher in the public schools OF
Mishawaka. In speaking OF the
Easter drive Fingers says: The drive
was on. Old women and men with
all their earthly possessions in a
small bundle, hardly able TO trudge
along; women with tiny babes in
arms-an endless procession, il
seemed-turned out of their homes.
Everything they had in this world
was gone. Not even a roof over
their heads until they could be
moved back somewhere in France
TO be taken care Of
The American soldiers surely
proved themselves. With but few
exceptions all OF US that night went
stony broke The boys gave their
last mite-all they had in their pos
session, that the suffering of these
people should be made as light as
possible under the circumstances
And we never felt We got so much
for our money before in our lives
The highest tribute came from a
lady who could speak English. She
said: You men will ever live in
the hearts Of these poor unfortunate
people. You are doing for them
what they would not expect Of their
own people-their own flesh and
blood. Can I say more?'
'One of the chaplains said TO me:
How wish that the eyes Of al
America could see the men here
Those who lie and SANDER about the
American forces in France should
be placed on board ship and COM
PEELED TO live as did the mythical
man without a country"

ROOD OR DOC-wmCH?

10 the Editor:
Numerous requests have
reached the undersigned that
some form OF action be taken 10
deal with the dog nuisance in
Mishawaka war gardens
The dogs injured in two ways:
First, by running over the fresh
dirt and trampling down the
young seedlings: second. by dig
ging up the rows OF plants or
seeds. especially where fertilizer
has been applied.
1t IS out OF the question for
the police force to patrol each
and every garden, just as IL Is
out Of the question for a work
ing man 10 stand watch with a
shotgun day and night.
The solution OF the question
lies in action OF the owner OF
the animals. These owners will
do one Of two things-they will
either kill their dog or tie il
up so that Il cannot run loose.
OF these two means of action,
the first is the most desirable
from a patriotic standpoint be
cause the dogs eat much food
which should be saved. The sec
ond method will appeal to more
dog owners because OF the bond
OF affection which exists between
the owner and the dumb brute.
But, every dog owner I'm Mish-
awake should take some form
OF action Immediately. because
the war gardeners must be given
every bit OF help possible.
The police will help whenever
they can, but they cannot be ex-
pected TO patrol every war gar
den. The proposition lies right
at the door of every dog owner.
This is Only a small thing, but
IL is vitality important Act at
once. w. II. LLOYD,
Dodge Farm Manager.

superstitiOns and dark misunder-
standings OF God. No one question
ed that those gaunt bodies, wet
with the dew and parched with the
summer sun. emaciated. stained
and verging to corruption. were an
acceptable sacrifice TO God.
I'VE would not worship a God to-
day who would delight in the death
OF men like that TO satisfy his venge-
full passions against a race that had
violated his will. We could not be-
lieve in a God who would cause a
famine 10 starve defenseless women
and little children because their
king had sinned. Great is the suf-
fering OF Germany today because
the kaiser has sinned.
VIII Suffer for Wrongs.
His sons deserve to suffer as did
the sons Of Saul. not to satisfy God s
desire for revenge, but as a just
penalty for their own misdeeds.
They will be made to suffer along
with the nation on which they have
brought such shame and dishonor.
Wrongs like that cannot go unre-
dressed, when the war is over. But
the God Jesus taught us to worship
stands ready TO forgive even the
German people when they come to
national penitence and bring forth
fruits worthy Of repentance.
"Rizpah's misunderstanding OF
the character of God is the key to
this tragedy. She believed that her
sons. though innocent OF their
fathers crime, were an offering by
which the vengeance OF God was
averted. There was something in her
akin to what centuries later was in
the heart OF Mary as she stood
weeping by the side OF another
cross. Both mothers watched a son
on the cross for the sake of others.
There is a lot Of that I'm the heart
OF the worlds mothers today. That
is what our boys by the thousands
are doing in Europe today. Dying
10 save others.
NicariOus Principle Uppermost.
NO one doubts the vicarious prin-
ciple at the heart of the gospel to-
day They see 50 much Of II in the
world now. The soldiers may not
all be professed Christians, they
may have little use for the creeds
and the. church. but there is a dim
consciousness of following Christ.

the world. But while we speak OF
the heroism Of the men today. what
shall we say OF their mothers. who
stand in solitary and uncheered
heroism at the foot OF a cross. II

It takes no less bravery for the
