A PRAYER Or OUR NATION.

Almighty God. Father Of In
finite Love, in this hour of world
sorrow and Of unvoiceable woe,
we come before Thee in humil-
ity, confessing our sins, that as
individuals and as. nation we
wandered far from Thee.
We filled our lives with the
husks Of worldly pleasure. We
sought ease and comfort rather
than the path Of duty. We ask
ed not that we might know Thy
will. We shut our eyes to the
horrors Of Europe's battlefields;
we closed our ears to Thy voice,
preferring not to hear the call
to succor and to save. We steel
ed our hearts against the cry Of
the millions who have died be-
cause we came not up to their
help.
We saw nearly a million Of
Thy children in Armenia "a
country in which through the
centuries millions have clung to
their faith in Risen Christ
mercilessly slaughtered as no
other people on earth were ever
murdered for faithfulnesi 10
Thy cause. and we raised nc
hand to help them.
In other lands helpless women
and the prattling baby with its
heaven lighted eyes were tortur-
cd beyond anything men have
ever known. But we stopped
our ears that we might not hear
their agonizins call.
We wrapped around ourselves
thu snug drapery of pride and
peace, and gloried in the thought
that we were not our brothers
keeper, while with eager hands
we grasped the billions Of
"ealtn created mere through the
struggle of civilization to save
itself. And now, o Father of In
finite Mercy, as we realize our
sin in that we would not see our
duty. we come pleading for Thy
forgiveness.
We beseech Thee, 0 God, to
strengthen us. Be with us as we
now go forth to do Thy work in
the struggle to save all that is
dear to Thee on earth from de-
struction by the power of evil
enthroned In the hearts Of Thine
enc emies--the enemies Of all
that Is pure and holy in Thy
sieht.

where In France. From this letter
We make the following extracts:
Somewhere in France,
June 20, 1918.
Dear Mother:
1T is with the greatest pleasure
that find have opportunity to write
You again. l mailed you letter
about two weeks ago, and trust that
will hear from you before this
reaches you. 1t takes at least three
weeks for a letter from here to reach
you, so you need not wait for letters.
Write me when you like, and I will
write when can. | would like to be
at home for few days this summer
as usual, but.I suppose l will take
my vacation in France this year. I
am enjoying life, though have
some funny experiences.
81 long for some of the fine melons
like we have at home, but Of course
We don't have anything Of that kind
over here, as the climate is entirely
too cold for them. What would you
think if told you that | have not
had less than two blankets over me
at night ever since have been here.
and the most of the time | put my
overcoat on top Of that! And good
every day up 70 ~ o'clock. have
gone without coat only few days
since coming over here.
''This country is very beautiful
the most OF it at least-and as for
my trip over, enjoyed it very much.
We did not even know the submarine
campaign was on, so far as we were
concerned.
Sweets of every kind are very
scarce over here. and when you do
find any you sure pay for 1t. One does
not see the business going on in this
country like in the United States, but
still things move on, and am faring
good enough SO far as getting plenty
to eat and sleeping comfortably is
concerned.
Love to all at home and regards
to all my friends. Devotedly,
a. A. Cantrell."
(Young Cantrei is a native Of Oco-
nee, but was working in Pickens
county at the time he was drafted
into the service. Prior to the draft
he volunteered for service in tho
navy, but was rejected on account Of
his health at that time. Later he was
accepted for service under the draft
law, and In May of this year went to
France with the 118tn Infantry. He
will be pleasantly remembered by
