for going overseas? It's my duty.

The military courtesy and discipline
is grand. There is nothing in civil

ways of the camp, he certainly will
be a pure, respectable, clean man
when he comes out.
There was Y. M. c. A. man here

port.
But yet there was hope that some
day he would come home and we
would all be gathered once more.
But, oh, the saddest Of all was the
day when a yellow slip Of paper was
thrust into Our happy home, destroy
ing all our happiness, our hopes of
having him with us again and shut
ting off forever it seems, the sunlight
and leaving only darkness and gloom.
Oh, how can the plying God in
heaven look down upon the homes
made destitute by this cruel war and
not be moved to tears Himself? The
sobs and tears of anguish from a
heart-broken mother are enough to
melt heart of stone.
And yet why all this anguish and
sorrow? He is not dead but has only
crossed, not the mighty Atlantic in
war-stricken country, but into a
land of peace and happiness; in a
Heavenly mansion prepared for him
on the golden shores of Paradise. A
home not for few short years, but
for eternity.
What a sweet consolation in that
last letter! Some day through the
grace of God we will all be gathered
together in that one happy home,
where there are no cruel wars and
where partings come no more.
Asleep in Jesus
Blessed sleep;
From which none ever wake to
weep.
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus
| And oh may we
Some happy day
Together be;
And walk hand in hand
Down the golden shore,
And praise His name forevermore.
