FROM SERGEANT HANSEN


In a letter to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. George w. Hansen. Sergeant
Richard Hansen, former local boy
who has been overseas with the 1872
Infantry ohe Third oregon) tells
some very interesting news. In part
his letter is as follows:
On the 18th we attended the Bel
gian celebration in honor of the birth
day of King Albert. The ceremony
was held in what was formerly very
pretentious hotel. but is now a Bel
gian hospital. There were much
speech max king by French and Bel
gian officers and much shouting Of
''Vive la France" 'Vlve la Belgique."
"Vive la Amerique." ''Vive les allies, !"
and vive everyone else--even HVive
10 Chinoisc." The national anthems
OF the various allies were played at
intervals by the band. la Marseil-
laise." lie Brabanconne'' (of Bel
gium). God save the King and lie
Drapeau d'Etoile." which last Is the
national anthem of the United States,
They played this last more as prayer
"a hymn.
One OF the most expressive things
I saw was the headline in a French
paper. Type about two inches high
right across the top of the sheet said
simply, "Cest F'ini. 1t is finished.
And / suppose it is in a practical
sense. But as the Stars and Stripes
puts it 1T is not all over but the
shouting-it is all over but the work
ing"
OF course you people win be won
dering when we will be home. You
do not wonder any more about that
than we do. and YOU probably know
as much or more about It than we do
can't think of anything more
just now and IL is dinner time. Win
close with love to everyone always
but to yourselves particularly on this
date. Your son,
RICHARD.
Paul Wallace got a machine gun
bullet through the legs but has re-
covered now. He was at st. Mihiel and
In the Argonne.
Frank Mason was commissioned
and soon after got two teeth shot out
by a machine gun. Most of those
YOU know are all right.

Arehdeacon J. EIdred Brown and Trinity Church Singers Provide In spring Service at SheItering Arms Joseph Lynch Enlists-Prof. Allen Latham Addresses Mems League.


 There was evening prayer and an address at the Sheltering Arms, Sun day afternoon by Rev. J. Eldred Brctxn, rector of Trinity Episcopal church. The text of the address was In Your Patience Posses Ye Your Souls. Our Lord was too good a friend to His disciples to lead them to think their careers would be easy, said the preacher. Christ would tell them before He left of wars, opposi- ton, danger, persecution. There would be danger of loss of inner peace.
 We are .bewildered and lose heart in face of the present war. Will these troubles beat down our faith? This de- bends upon how deeply we are think ing. Are we thinking to a good pur- pose? Some as, Is Christianity a failure? The cause of the war is the turning away of these warning na- tions from the right. What means the rousing of all the nations in eypres- sion against the wrong, except on their part a knowledge of Christ and the principles of right living?
 The world is not worth living in when wrong is enthroned above righteousness. The rising of the na tions for the right shows that we have gone back to the heart and cen ter of Christianity, the cross of Christ Christ died to preserve the righteous ness of the world. Religious ideals. the
 religious gains of civilization, have
 become the ideals of the young mer
 who are giving their lives for the right. Religion was never so muck alive as now when barbarism is to be put down.
 In our patient faith in Gods eterna purpose to save the world let us posses our souls until God shall open
 our eyes to His purpose in this war. Miss Dorothy McCienathan ac.
