A new and important field Of labor
for the Church has been called to the
attention of the National Lutheran
Commission. This is the great in
dustrial centers that have sprung up,
especially in the eastern part of Jour
country, in connection with nuni(on
factories, ship building industries, etc.
After repeated requests from Synod
cal authorities and others, Field
Secretary H. r. Gold has been dele
gated to visit these industrial centcrs
and find out what the field is for
Lutheran Mission work. Ire result
of this work will be submitted to the
various Home Mission Boards for
action.
Within the last week, representa-
tives OF the Commission and the
Lutheran Synods 70 Canada have held
a meeting at Ottawa and organized
the Canadian Lutheran Commission
for Soldiers and Sailors Welfare.
The plan of this Commission is
similar to that of ours, and it pur-
poses to cooperate with US to the
fullest extent possible.
The National Lutheran Commission
IS an emergency organization. 1t is
taking care Of a new field of labor for
our Church. 1t is the first time III
the history of Lutheranism in America
that all the various Lutheran bodies
are cooperating. God has blessed the
work in the most wonderful way.
Seemingly insurmountable obstacles
have been overcome. Misunderstand-
ings and suspicious have been re-
moved. Difficulties that no one could
anticipate have been met successfully.
Wonderful opportunities lie before us.
The Commission needs and bespeaks
the hearty sympathy and cooperation
as well as the earnest prayers of the
entire Church, that it may be faithful
and efficient in carrying out its pro-
gram for the welfare OF our boys and
the Church at home in such a way
that God may be glorifed.
Respectfully submitted,
LAURITZ LARSEN,
Secretary.

inexplcablc attitude toward the war
That she is also worrlcd ! know, al
though there has been a noticeable dit
ference in her manner concerning her
son since the night he went away For
one thing. she hardly mentioned his
name To me since that night.
She didn't speak again until had

Then she whispered two words:

that her chin was trembling with
nervousness.

With a sudden impulse | knelt BY her
side, put my arms around her and kissed
her

cantankcrous old cat. and. she can't
help trying her claws occasionally. And
she does take wonderful care OF you,

She didn't reply at first, only stroked
my hair with fingers that trembled The
carcss reassured me, | had spoken lit
orally with fear and trembling because

will assume.
Her hand grew steadier after a mo-

secret service work which | was doing
under Mrs Underwood. Lillian had
permitted me 10 take my mother in. law
into my confidence. because it was
necessary TO have some one in the house
who understood the reason for my ir-

way they've watched the house with
those field glasses for weeks is some
thing fierce, and the Jap was always

day WILLIAM set Pete on him. He

finished with malicious satisfaction

"Open the Thing"
(Which one of them handed it to

eagerly, "or did they send a messenger

The Japanese servant followed me
and slipped it into my hand"

smiling involuntarily at her ychemence,
and then | told her Of the manner in
which the Asiatic had fulfilled his mis-

"You never did have the spunk of
rabbit Margaret" was her comment.

by the unlucky smile had given. But"
impatiently "why don't you open the
