Mrs. Dahl Breaks Arm in Two
Places.

Mrs. Mabel Dahl had the mis-
fortune to break her right arm in
two places last Saturday. She was
getting her car out of the garage
to take visitor to the depot and
the self starter on the car refused
to work, so she attempted to crank
1t by hand, with the result above.
The arm was broken in two pllces
below the elbow, and DR.. Stabo
who was called, stated it was one
of the severest breaks he had ever
seen. Mrs. Dahl suffered much
pain from the injury also. Her
friends hope she will enjoy a quick
recovery from the injury.

June ., 1918.
Dear Friend:
Thought l would drop you a let
ter and let you see how far away
| am and the change since Twas talk
ing to you in your Office. Was at
Camp Lewis only a week before
being transferred here. There we
had barracks, here tents, but as its
summer l prefer the camping. Talk
about your melting pots, think this
is one-Swedes, Spaniards, Greeks
and Japs-and some names. Here
are some that l have fixed up just
as l think of them. This is not
necessarily the correct spelling of
some, but about the way they are
pronounced: Jose Dala Rosa took
Shotofwisky and went to Barnum
& Baileys circus, where he got hurt
imposing on the good nature of
camel He then went fishing and
sat on stump by river catching
vited some of his friends to grub.
Some OF the well known ones being
Peter Jokenwhich Funkhouser
Willpong and Kelsey. "Nuff sed."
Sitting here in the tent l can
see the company barber, pine
stump for a chair and sky for a
roof. He is working on some poor
lad now. He had me in his tolls
an hour ago. While worrying my
wool with pair of clippers-not
intended for a slam at Bill Rima-
second door from your Office, he
told me part Of his history. 1t
seems he hailed from Utah and in
civil life he was a blacksmith by
trade, also barbering some. My
guess is for every day he barbered
he spent a year shoeing horses.
Anyway he removed enough so l
hope to get my inspection tomorrow.
Have found a few boys from
Idaho and Montana that i know,
likely more than if | had gone to
Camp Dodge. We were in one of
the best positions in the United
States today to witness the eclipse
of the sun. From about $3.50 p. m.
to 4:30 p. it was almost dark as
night, a good many lights being
turned on in camp 1t is now 600
p. m. and lighter than it was at
four p. m.
A few OF the boys are affected
with disease known as home sick
ness, some having worse attacks
than others, but we are kept pretty
busy and that is a wonderful cure
for the epidemic. Personally hav-
ing been in this part Of the country
SO much and being used to camp
life and mixing with strangers. my
case is not as bad as some. The
hardest thing for me is being away
from my little daughter in Water
loo But the fact that the kid can
wear service ribbon on her arm
about makes up for it. We'll Jack
l guess / will close. Give my re-
CARDS to any of my friends You
happen to see.

| we have the promise of the golden text
that the day shall come when the

Some one has suggested that the
story of foreign missions is a good ex-
ample of the principle of the para Die.
Missionaries preached the good tid1ngs
founded. Hospitals ministered to phys
ical needs. For years and years prog
ress was slow and the results insig..
nificant. For century the task seemed
standpoint. But those long, dreary years
were the years of seed sowing. Then
came the great change. All over the
world of heather darkness the hidden
seed has sprung up and we see IN tne
growth of the Christian religion an
other demonstration of spiritual prog
ress from the blade to the ear to the
full corn in the ear.
Introducing the parable of the mus
tard seed with the question. where
unto shall we liken the kingdom OF
God?" Jesus takes another illustration
from the field. While He was speaking
in popular terms, and not scientihcal-
ly, in referring to the mustard SEED as
erence was not misunderstood, as it
was the common way of saNng that
thing was small, and in a very en-
phatic manner, Remember the audi
ence to which the Master spoke these
words. Even the disciples had not yet
learned that the kingdom which was
being established was spiritual king
dom. not confined to any class, nation
ality or race. The popular conception
of the Messiah included the immediate
establishment of great political
kingdom. To a large extent it was the
difference between the nationallstic
ideals of Israel and the universal, all
inclusive program of the Christ which
caused his break with His own people
and resulted in His rejection by HIS
own people
No Caesar no cZar or kaiser ever
predicted with such confidence the
growth of his kingdom as does this
plain carpenter. No ruler ever dreamed
such a program of expansion. From a
handful of fishermen and sons of toll
Christ predicts for the kingdom of God
growth comparable to the growth of
the mustard seed into a tree. And as
ever, HE spake as one having author
ity." We are seeing today, in meas
ure, the prophecy become fact. From
every mission field of the world comes
the news of the rapid strides of Chris
tianity. Paganism, culture and di-
plomacy have failed. war-torn
world turns its face toward the Son
of God because the religion of Jesus
America must give of her men and
money to redeem the world from au-
tocracy. so must the earnest disciple
SOW the seed and sacrifice so that the
Kingdoms of this world may become
the kingdom of our Lord and Master.
