he has done so honestly and with the
sole intent to aid and not interfere
with the prosecution of the war.
LenrOt is not what is known as a
bitter partisan. He is a whole-hearted,
loyal republican, but the country's
interest has always come first with
him. He is consertaviely progressive,
and while he favors reforms, he al
ways does so in a constructive and
not destructive way.
He is common, every day man OF
the people, and labor can trust him
implicitly to defend it's just rights and
interests
He has ever been an opponent of
special privilege and has stood firm
ly for the square deal for all.
The strong feature of Mr.. Lenroot's
candidacy is that it comes in answer
to a statewide demand. He did not
seek the office and consented to make
the run reluctantly and only upon
condition that it would be in answer
to a fairly unanimous demand from
the republicans of the state.-Racine
Times-Call.

and upright of our citizens.
They find the creeds in which they
were nurtured incredible. That was
John Burroughs. DR.. Newton added
"unintelligible." The latter explains
best the attitude of the soldier. The
creeds may not be incredible, but they
are unintelligible. A creed is an at
tempt to put your opinion of Christ in
words But no man can formulate all
he sees and no other man can see all
he formulates. The simplest creed is
hard to formulate. 1t is always easy of
different Interpretation. The men are
therefore taking Christ and ignoring
the creed. Cali the chaplains and all
the Y. M. c. A. men testify that tho
the soldiers have no use for the mere
forms of religion they respond eagerly
to the essence" '"The longer 1 am out
here, the more | care for Christianity
and the less l care for the church"
A story illustrates the point. An Irish
man and a Jew sat side by side wait
ing dinner. 1t was Friday. The fish
supply had given out. The only meat
put on the table was pork. "Too bad,
too bad! the Irishman wittily whis-

ligion of Christ, he wants the Father.
In the past God was but a name. An
indistinct and distant entity. But
values have been readjusted. God is
spersOn present, Father. Arthur Bal
four, member of the British Cabinet,
philosopher, has recently published
book. This is an extract: when l

than an identity wherein all differen-

but does not transcend the differences
which it sometimes holds in solution.

The campaign for the third Liberty
Loan will be opened on the 9Th day Of
April, the anniversary Of the declara-
ton of a state Of war between the
United States and Germany. The
amount, terms and conditions of the
loan are dependent upon further legis-
latiOn and will be announced as soon
as congress has granted the neces-
sary powers. Secretary McAdoo chose
the 9th OF April as the day to open the
campaign as the most fitting date to
call for a patriotic response to the
summons to duty to every American,
to ask from the people at home the
same fervent patriotism that actuates
our gallant sons ON the battlefelds of
France and on the waters of the At

A Disappearing Island.

AT Lake Orion, in Michigan, there IS
a certain mysterious island which
comes to the surface each summer, on
~ to disappear again every winter.
quite regularly, along the middle Of
August, the island hobs up above the
waters of the lake, and down it goes
again about the middle of February.
once some farmers of that part of the
country loaded the island with heavy
stones, thinking that, when it went
down the next time, 1t would stay
down. But, when it was summer once
more, up came the mysterious island
as serene as ever. This Is one of the
most famous of the curious floating
lslands.-Christian Science Monitor.

ness and sorrow often bring sanity,
sense. War troubles unfortunately are
worse than TOmmy's. But the fruitful
effect may be the same. In comfort and
prosperity the nations forgot God. Suf-
fering is bringing sense. In sorrow,
sickness, wounds, mental agony, He
is our sole refuge.
There are four ways in which this
| was is affecting religious belief.
1. Affirmation of the fact of re-
ligion
Frederick Spour, Dr. F. r. Meyers
successor, has recently returned from
the front He has been active in
campmeetings and religious services
More than once he allowed the men
who came in from trench duty to Sc
lect their own songs. The songs they
/ chose were Lead Kindly Light"
abide With Me-" Rock of Ages"
etc. These were men who had back
home, before the war, given up church.
Mr.. SpOur wanted to know why they
chose these hymns. A big Scot replied:
''Ye wanta to know why we who hadna
a church asked for these hymns? I'll
| tell We. Back home I'd done with the
kirk. | had ma use for God. But out
here 1 had that knocked out of me-
Mon! Ye have got to pray out here.
Ye've got to sing hymns here. Yell
| find none of these fellows are agin re-
ligion out here. They want it. They
listen to any man who can put it
straight.
Did you ever read John Bull? Did
you ever hear of its editor, Horatio
Bottomley? He was editor, scholar,
free thinker. This is part of his re-
Enumeration, forced on him by the
| war: To-day in my 55th year l believe
| in God | am not sure that if poor
Foote (the leader of English Free
| thinkers) had died a few years ago l
might not have hcon a candidate for
his successorship. But now it is too
late" Il believe in God! and in the
| Immortality of the soul of man"
2. To the soldier religion is fruit,
| net affliation.
While at home we are taught affiili-
alton rather than fruit. Donald Han
key churchman, has carefully
| voiced the soldiers faith. "They
| really have deep-seated beliefs in
| goodness" he wrote, but did not con-
meet it with the God in whom the
| chaplains believed In pre-war days
! they had learnt that religion was
| Joining a church. At least that was
| it's chief sign and tag. To the common
soldier, as to Christ morals mean more
| than membership. Fruit more than af-
| filiatiOn "By their fruit we shall know
them" " Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this, To
visit the fatherless and widows in
| their aff1iction and to keep himself I'M
spotted from the world" eff we love
| me We will keep my commandment"
They could understand the Prodigal
He repented. Therefore the Father
| welcomed him. They understand "The
| dying thief and the Christ on the
cross. Christ promised paradise. 1t
revealed the tender heart of God. The
soldiers understood religion. The pure
and undefiled better than they under
stand the church.
3. The common soldier can under
stand Christ much better than the
creeds. The reason is sim pie. Creeds
are sentences, Christ largely deeds.
Twenty years ago John Burroughs
| wrote: The religious sceptics are a
very large class, and they are among
! the most hopeful, intelligent, patriotic

AMERICANS TO
 HELP RE-FOREST
 FRENCH COUNTRY

New York, Dec. 16-To proffer American aid in re-foresting areas of France, Percival s. Ridsdale, secre tary of the American Forestry Asso- citation, sailed today for Paris, where he will confer with French govern ment officials. In an ordinary trav- cling bag MT. Ridsdale carried enough seed to grow Bo,00o fir trees. This seed was said to be all of it's kind which could be in America at this time. It was requested by the French government for experimental planting, to determine whether it was suitable for French soil and climat- ic conditions.
 "A million and a quarter acres of forest, in the north and east of France have been virtually wiped out during the war" Mir. Ridsdale said. They were cut down by thet contending armies for use in trench building, for barracks, for roads, for Y. M. s. A. and hospital buildings, or were blasted by shell fire.
 < Almost a,~Plillien,~@ French people were dependent upon these forests for six months of the year for a live lihood and the French government faces a great economic problem in providing them with resources for sustaining themselves until the for ests are restored"
