DAILY NEWSPAPERS
WOULD HAVE SAVED
Christ, SAYS BILLY

How would Christ have Jared IL
there were two or three big daily
newspapers in Jerusalem?
Although the text OF Billy Sundays
sermon last night was What Shall !
Do With Jesus" from Matthew, the
evangelist spoke mainly OF the ''polit
ical situation that resulted in the
CrucifiXion, and that II there had
been two or three big daily newspa-
pers in Jerusalem, Christ would never
have been killed.
Christ would have been the story
OF the day." said Sunday, "and PLATE
would never have consented to his
death in the face OF the publicity
newspapers would have given the
Messiah. PLATE was the politician OF
his day. He knew that he was in
Dutch" with Caesar, and that II he
satisfied the Jewish element and with
drew the opposition to him of the
Jews I'm Rome, he would have pulled a
good political piece OF business, so
Christ was sentenced to death"
Speaking Of the death Of Christ, and
how different things would be today.
Sunday said that newspapers would
make 1t impossible for q second re-
lection Of Christ.
Lands Reporters.
IF anyone can see through fraud,
II any class OF people have a real ap-
probation of sincerity and for the
realities of life, It is the newspaper
reporter" said the evangelist.
Nineteen hundred yeSrs ago star
paused above a lowly manager in
Bethlehem, and above the moon-lit
hills OF Judea glad angels heralded
the beginning OF the life of Jesus
Christ upon the earth, who came to
teach US love and the atOnement OF
sin through His blood. No matter
what He said or did to disprove that
He came to fulfill the Messianic
prophecy, the Jews and Gentiles stop
ped their ears and conspired to muir
der Him and caused Him to be nailed
to the cross. although he was blame
less in the eyes of the law.
Had Difficulties.
Now, PLATE had many difficulties.
II you give up you are a nonentity.
Everything the devil does is to keep
you out OF Heaven. PLATE had many
things to encourage him to do the
manly thing with Him. To his ever
lasting shame he chose TO do the
thing which was wrong, and to the
end of time his name will reek with
ignominy and will be a stencil in the
nostrils OF all who like a fair deal.
Every man in hell tonight is there be-
cause he hadn't manhood enough to
take a stand for Christ.
Among the things encouraging Pi-
late to a right decision was the dream
of his wife. We don't know much

A coincidence, which may be one OF
many that has taken place in France,
came in a letter from Captain Ralph
Lucier. who tells of the meeting OF
himself and a former Abilene boy:
We had just been over the top
in a fierce struggle with the Huns
and were awaiting further orders
then heard some one give com
mand to company near us-a voice
| thought recognized-I jumped out
Of the trench. ran several PAGES to
where stood a comrade dressed IN
khaki. and / reached out my arm for
hearty hand shake. 1t was Harry
Harding. son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jay
Harding. who joined the fighting for
ces in Wyoming and was trained IN
California. Among the many former
Abilene boys that / knew were In
France, Harry was one of them was
anxious TO meet. Our meeting was
short-we only had time to say,
hail and farewell, we will meet IN
Berlin"
Harry ranks as top sergeant, but
was in temporary command of the
company because Of the casualties
among the men Of superior rank. Or
ders were given to move and those
few words were all we had time TO
exchange.

Lieut.. Carver in Paris.

Lieut.. Leroy Carver writes to his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Carver,
of his trip to Paris. He says; Woke
up this morning with the orders send
ing me to Paris, literally thrust in
my face. An orderly came and in
formed me that | would get orders
from headquarters in few moments
and that / better remain near my
quarters in order to receive them. so
in a little over an hour | shall be on
my way to see Paris. My mission is
to take nitrogen tank and get it
filled at the manufacturing plant and
return. The tank is a little thing
which one man can carry, but It must
be handled with ease, for the gas is
under great pressure. Furthermore
man goes along to carry It. IL
sounds rather funny to send two men
with little thing like that, but 1t
is a necessary evil, and you may be
sure that / will. see all of Paris that
can during my stay there, which
will be about three days, any way.
/ This gas is used in the recoil cylin-
ders of the guns we fire Everyone
envies my trip. Why l am the lucky
chap, cannot guess. Someone had
to do it and that ut" was l.

work this week. We fired Monday

the hardest and most particular job
your son ever had thrust upon him.
1t isn't at all a pleasant sensation to
know that if you make mistakes to
the rear you go.
All Americans in France, at least,
all Frenchmen in France, all English
men in France, in short all people
everywhere are much more light
hearted today than during any day,
