Duty Brings Vision

Tolstoi tells a lovely little
story of two pilgrims who set
out for Jerusalem. Yelesei
stopped to help starving fam
lily. He bought food, fetched
water. split wood, started the
great oven fire, nursed and fed
the sick, redeemed the mortgage
on the home, and bought back
the COW, horse, and scythe with
which the living was earned.
His money WIS all gone, and he
could not hope to overtake his
companion on the road. so he
returned home and devoted him
self again to daily duty. Yefim
would not pause to help anyone.
He reached Jerusalem, visited
TIE sacred places, obtained earth
from Calvary, water from the
Jordan. and blessed amulets of
every kind, but because of the
throng he could not reach the
Holy Sepulchre. Yet, under the
lamps themselves where the
blessed fire burns before all, ne
saw vision of Yelesei, wearing
halo of shining glory about
his head. For Yefim had
brought his body to the Holy
Land, but Christ himself had
come to the soul of Yelesei. And
he learned that in this world
God bids everyone do his duty
till death-in love and good
deeds.

Dear Friends:
Well, we are here at last. We ar
rived safely and had no trouble at all.
| was not sea-sick, and we always had
good things to eat on the boat. Last
Sunday we had turkey dinner, and
today we had dinner-turkey (the
leavings.)
hardly know what to write as we
cannot write anything about the war,
so guess | will have to write about
something else. But when l come
back l will sure have lot to talk
about, which | can not write.
1t was quite funny to see the trains
over here. have often seen pictures
! of them. They are divided up in sec
tions and when you get into a Sec
ton you are there until the train
stops, for you can not go through the
train. And the engines are about as
big as a fly.
This is great country where we
are now. Nice farms and missions.
l suppose it is quite cold up in North
Dakota? 1t froze here last night and
is a little cold today.
suppose you all had good time
Christmas. | will never forget Christ
mas eve, but cannot write you about
it. But can never forget it!
You can not spend much money
over here, you can not spend over SOC
for things to eat. That is all you can
spend at one time. 1t is pretty hard
to tell whether they are beating us
out of our money or not, for there are
so many different kinds Of money.
American tobacco is almost impos-
sible to get here. "Bull Durham" is
24c a package, "Prince Albert" is 42c
can, that is, the SC and 10c cans.
And no chewing tobacco.
|, We are not very near town, only
the Y. M. C. A. We can 60 there and
get cup of coffee or cocoa for one
cent, piece of cake, 1c, five cookies
for 1c, and that all seems so strange.
When we left Camp Merritt, the
snow was about foot deep. Have you
much snow there? How is business,
little slow? It is very quiet here.
Well, l will close, hoping to hear
from you all soon. l will surely be
glad to hear from you all, tell me all
the news you can think of, for l am
a long ways from Tipperary.
Give my best regards to the
bunch.
