misgivings as to it's tendency. The
constitution and Bylaws OF our Or
Ger are III the reach Of all who wish
to eXaG..no them. There are also
solemn admonitions inculcated In the
Lodge room that do not reach the ear
OF any except those who are account
ed worthy OF membership.
OUR MOTTO is LOVE, PURITY
AND TRUTH and upon these three
pillars rest the structure of our In
stitution. We believe our Order Ia
conducive to the welfare OF both
sexes and 1t is the enjoined duty of
all to watch over ono another in
sickness and IN health and to re-
monstrate with those who wander
from the paths of rectitude and
sobriety. We hope you will decide
to come with us in this onward
march and we will do you good.

first seven months of 1917, (Table

that the Negro population has in

about forty-fivc percent during tho
past two years, this expansion in

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS.
Welfare work in Army and Navy
CAMPS.

Welfare work in Army and Navy
Camps.
Christian Scissce camp weitarv work is
nov being carried on in forty-sve army
ard navy camps in the Unitea States,
nndeT direction Of ahe Christian Science
war relief and camp welfare eomr=iitee of
she Fret Church OF Christ, Scientist, in
Session. There are at present sbc~t sew
enty men and fifteen women engaged in
TINS work, the women serving masnly as
welfare loom attendants.
Conducted at first Independently, the
camp welfare work has been merged With
the war relief work which the Christian
Scientists were doing in toreigu countries
before the United States entered the xsr.
For both these purposes about one million
dollars have been raised.
The ann OF the Christian Science ramp
workers is TO be as helpful as possible
to all the men IN the camps, whetksr or
not they are Christian Scientists, and
particularly to give assistance which may
not be available at the time or place
Through any OF the other camp welfare
agencies. A feature of this phase of the
work Is an arrangement for keeping
soldiers and sailors in close touch with
their relatives.
Cooperating with the COMMITTEES in
Boston, there is Christian. Science camp
wsltaSe committee in each state.
The committee in the home state
OF soldier or sailor eo-opsrates by
nail and telegraph v~Ath, the com
mittee of the state IN which he
. eamped or stationed, to. form q c5rscs
and constant link between the soldier
Or sAiIox and his relatives. Thereby the
relatives are quickly made acquainted
with needs of their boy In the seEvice,
and be is provided with an avenue OF
I quick communication with his ho1as.
/ The linking OF home and camp. COM
K bined with the personal attention OF the
4 Christian Science workers in the camps,
has frequently been ths means of chang
ing soldiers outlook from one OF gloom
to one of Joy, and not infrequently ii has
proved to be the means OF relieving rela-
tives of financial embarrassment. the COM
mittee ia the home state making loans
for use by the relatives until their boy In
camp should be prepared 20 forward
money TO them.
The net result, for which the Christians
Science committees and camp workers
have received many commsndations, Ass
been noticeable raising OF the morale o.
many men in the service aud the develop.
, nent OF better feeling at home regard
ing the participation OF their boys in thu
service.
: In or near namerous camps, the Chris
ian Science committees have erected sub
I stantisl buildings, with quie. places TO
| reading and writing, and other building
: are in course Of construction. A Iigh
. touring car has been added to the equip
nent OF the Christian Science camp work
ers at each camp, to be used wherever an
> whenever possible in sssisting the men.

AUSTRALIANS RAID TRENCHES.
French Break Through Three German
Lines in Surprise Attack.

London, March 5.-"A number OF
successful raids were carried out by
us on different parts of the front
says the war office report "Austral-
ian troops entered German trenches
near Warneton and after killing at
least fifty Of the enemy and destroying
several dugouts brought back eleven
prisoners and machine gun.
Since Sunday the Germans have left
the Americans in comparative peace
on their sector near Toul. Probably
finding that their attempted forays
were too costly, they have failed to
launch further attacks, and even have
cut down materially their artillery
fire and gas shell bombardments.
Again the American gunners have
worked havoc among the Germans by
heavily shelling large cantonment
where troops are assembled.
British troops operating north OF
Jerusalem in Palestine have made an
advance along front OF twelve miles
to a maximum depth of 5000 yards
astride and west of the Jerusalem
