Yourself. The weather is bad
sometimes in No Mans Land. The
rain falls as heavily as it did last
night in Newark, and there is the
lightning of the Star Shells and
the boom of big guns, the whine OF
the shells and the thunder Of
bursting bombs. And if your son
or nv brother is out in the rain in
No Mans Land he can't go into a
comfortable house, and tuck him
self up between the soft white
sheets and sleep.
Well, but the town was dark.
How could we go to a meeting IN
the dark? How could you hold a
meeting in the dark? 1t wasn't
pitch dark, friend. We had can
dies, lots of candles; we had light
enough to hear by. Wasn't there
some historic document that was
signed by candle light? Was it the
Declaration of independence, or
maybe Magma Charta Cor was that
before candles even)? Maybe it
was something about Mary Queen
of Scots. SO much History has
happened lately thav the History

FIELD SECRETARY FROM
FRANCE VISITS HERE
Urges Support of Belgian
Orphans

George T. Berry, field secretary
Of the Mccall Mission of Paris,
visited the Newark Presbyterian
Church last Sunday evening, and
told of the war work of the Mis-
sion in France. Mr.. Berry paid
a glowing tribute to the French
people, who he declared are often
misunderstood by the American
people. when "a stranger visits
a place like Paris" he said, "he
does not see the home life of the
French people, which is Very beau;
tiful. The shop girls and milliners
on the streets of Paris are not re-
preventative of the women of the
country. France has fine women
and splendid men, fact which ex-
plains their wonderful courage in
the face of the present tremendous
odds that surround them"
Mr.. Berry told of the organiza-
tion of the Mccall Mission, to look
after the souls of the men and to
provide religion that touched
their every day life. He dwelt
upon experiences at the French
front from which he returned last
February. Among other incident:
he told of a great scarcity of sur
gical dressings, and the removal Of
bandages from dead bodies tt
dress new wounds, with the result
ant blood poisoning which wa:
afterward cured. He urged hi
hearers to work and send NOR
dressings.
Mr.. Berry's special plea was TO
Belgian orphans, who can be KEEP
with their mothers for $500 pc
year in additional to the allowanc
provided by the government.
number of people in the congrega
tion at the close of the servic
pledged themselves to support on
, orphan, and number of other
are contemplating doing so.
Mr.. Berry expressed the belle
that a great mission campaign
carry Christianity to all parts G
3 the world is the only means b
2 which the world will ever be ri
: of war "The war is costing 5000
t 100000 a day." he said. '1f ths
amount had been turned into mis-
sion work, l do not believe tn
great war could ever have come
pass.

STUDENTS WIN HONORS
IN PUBLIC SPEAKING
Method of Awards to be
Changed

In the contest for prizes offered
by the Alumni Association of
Delaware College for public speak
ing, first place was won this year
by w. 7. Broughall, '21; second by
Charles Carswell, 20. Owing to
a lack of competition for these
prizes as result of the discontin-
ance of the literary societies, it
has been suggested that the money
usually used for the prizes be put
into cup, to be competed for in
debate between Freshman and
Soph0mores, the class winning
twice in succession to become the
owner Of the, cup. It is believed
that this will arouse greater in
terest in the public speaking con-
test and thereby better serve the
purpose for which the prizes are
oferd by the Association.
