JESUS REQUIRES CONFESSION
AND LOYALTY.
LESSON TEXT-Mark s:27-ss.


His primary object in his teaching
during this time is to prepare the dis
ciples for the tragedy of the cross.
which he knew was so near. His
teaching gathers around the great
cardinal doctrines of the Christian
faith. He instructs them touching his
person, atoning death, resurrection
and glorious coming again. He knew
that in the measure that they intelli-
gently apprehended these things they
would be able to pass through the
ordeals before them. The same Is
true today. Those who clearly appre-
bend the Divine Person. the vicarious
atonement, the glorious resurrection,
and second coming of Christ. are I'M
disturbed by the world tragedies of
the present hour.

Dear Mother:
Your most welcome letters came
to hand few days past and as usual
/ was glad to hear from you and glad
to hear that all was well at home
and doing so nicely, but it made me
bit homesick when / read about the
nice things you have at home. AS
things look at present guess it will
not be very much longer until / can
enjoy some of the things at home you
are writing to me about, for / think
the war will soon be over. 1t seems
that they all want peace.
Well, mother, / was glad you got
my pictures all o. K. and liked them
so well. thought they were very
good, You said in your letter that
you had just received a letter from
Wilford and Taylor. You asked me
if l had met Wilford yet. No, l
have not seen anything of him. !
have gotten letter from him but !
do not know what part of France he
is in, but l may meet him sometime
in the near future. You spoke of
getting a letter from Taylor, is he
in camp? Why didn't you send me
his address?
Tell Bro. Lord that l am expect
ing his letter, will be glad to hear
from him anytime. / also wrote to
Mr.. Duke, ! guess he has gotten my
letter by now. Give him my regards.
Tell Sister was very glad to get
her letter and / will write to her
some time soon.
Mother, am sending you Christ
mas package coupon in my letter. !
thought maybe you would like to send
me something, and it will not be ac-
cepted unless it has one of these
coupons on it. You can get the size
box at the Red Cross station. Be
sure to paste the coupon on it and
then l will get it all o. X. Be sure
you mail it before the twentieth of
November. You need not send any
tobacco or cigarettes for we can get
all we want over here. We get most
anything we want over here, but
anything from home is always a little
better to me. Are you expecting to
have a very big time this Christmas?
| guess we will hardly know when it
comes this year, but do not worry
about me, for we will all be at home
for the next one and perhaps long
before.
When have you heard from Aunt
Fannie last? have written her
three letters since being in France
but have not heard fom her. In your
next letter ask her if she has received
them.
Well, as this is about all the news

Germany Made Greatest Mill
tary Mistake in Bringing u.
S. Into War Says Bonar Law
(By Associated PresS)

LONDON, July 6-The coming Ger
man blow will be dangerous because
Of the time employed in prepa ring for
it, but it is comforting to know that
the men responsible for the command
of the allied armies are confident of
the result, Andrew Bonar Law. chan
cellor of the exchequer, declared last
night at dinner to the delegates Of
the Parliamentary commercial con-
ference
"It is impossible to foresee the fu-
ture,' he said, but I do believe that
the fateful hour of this war is upon us
and if in another three months our
enemies have won no strategic object,
then their campaign will have failed
and it will, 1 hope. be decisive fail
ure"
The Germans possessed the most
perfect military machine that ever ex-
listed but the chancellor said he be-
lieved that when the history of the
war was written it would be seen that
Germany had made greater military
mistakes than any other power. He
instanced the submarine w%fare
which had brought the United States
into the war He doubted whether
Germany would get as much out of
Russia as she expected. Wherever
the German soldier had planted his
foot the name of German was loathed
for generations.
The chancellor spoke gratefully Of
American help and alluded to the
wonderful organization in sending
American troops across the Atlantic.
The Germans, he said, could now
weigh the advantages and disadvant-
ages of their submarine campaign
through them.
No Immediate Peace.
Mr.. Bonar Law said he trembled to
think what would have been the posi-
ton Of the allies after Russia went
out of the war, but for the help of
the United States. He had not des-
paired of Russia who was like pat
lent in a delirium. 1t was impossible
from hour to hour to tell what the
future might bring there.
The population of the enemy pow
ers was 154,000.000, that of the en-
tente alliance, 1,2O0.OO0,0oo. That in
itself was league of nations with a
military force that was terrible but
the economic force also was strong.
OF one thing, he said, there was no
doubt. just as the allies were stand
ing together now so would they stand
when the war was over to repair the
ravages of war. The chancellor con-
cluded:
81 see no immediate hope of peace.
There is no road to it, fear, except
the rugged road through victory. 1t
will be fatal to the world and fatal
to the Germans themselves if they
are not taught the lesson that war
does not pay"

Discourage Sending of
Perishables to Men
in Army Cantonments

Superintendent Of Mails Wilson an
nounced Saturday that orders have
been received here discouraging send
ing Of perishables to soldiers. The dis
tance stipulated to which perishable
goods, such as cakes and fruits, can be
sent Is not to exceed $50 miles
The reason that the government dis
courages the sending Of such food
stuffs is because in the majority Of
cases the food is spoiled or badly
crushed and Of no use by the time it
reaches the camp. Another reason is,
boys in camps do not receive their
mail as soon as it arrives. Many
times it is several hours before they
get is as they are sometimes on duty,
or away for several days on hike
No perishables whatsoever can be
sent overseas and any packages not
perishable can not be sent across seas
without a special letter from the sol
der who receives the package, and it
most be signed by commanding Of
fcer and the letter included in the
package. The letter must be included
or the package will be returned to the
donor upon examination.
