for reason and strength to come
out of the conditions of chaos
and anarchy, which prevail in
most of the countries of Europe.

by material removal of the causes

a far-reaching effect in the near
future upon the social and finan-

ance from every person who can
help with the work to be done.

A splendid Aircraft picture
preceded the regular program
and caught the interest of the
folks who hadn't seen a movie
for weeks. The program was in
charge of the Rev. M. J. Mclean.
who was also largely responsible
for its preparation. The Rev.
Father Souby delivered the in
vocation and DR.. F. McF. Alex
ander Of New Orleans rendered
a thanksgiving prayer of great
power.
Mrs. E. A. Pharr delighted the
audience with her singing of the
"Marseillaise. >" The principal ad-
dress of the evening was deliv-
cred by DR.. Alexander and he
held the close attention of his
audience throughout the short
time allotted him. Patriotic sem
timents made up the most of his
talk, and he demonstrated his
unusual ability as an orator and
scholar. An additional patriotic
touch was given the meeting by
the music furnished by the
Emergency Fleet Band.
"A feature Of the. evening was
a tableau composed Of a detach-
ment of soldiers from Company
c, stationed at the shipyard, who

Without our help 1t would have been

whose normal food supplies have been
