BENEFITS OF WAR

Philadelphia Pastor Declares
That Conflict of Nations
Proved Great LeveIer

War is greater leveler," said the
Rev. Allen Evans, Jr., curate of st.
James's Episcopal Church. who served
with the American expeditionary forces
as a chaplain, at a choral service held
yesterday afternoon on the site of the
Episcopal Cathedral on the Parkway.
1--WE learned that the man who is
worth several hundred thousand dol
lars is not worth more than the man
who has twenty five cents. All are
alike in the sight of God The great
shells were no respecter of persons. We
learned that character and faith are
worth more than riches and the selfish
pursuit of happiness. After that ex :
perience we cannot go back to the old
standards and the old order of things.
. We do not want to go back. Over
there we were called upon to die for
our ideals. Now that the war is over
] we are called upon to live for them"
The Rev. Mr.. Evans added that
smoking was a great solace to the men
at the front.
"Over in France every man smoked
like a furnace" he said. "There was
nothing that helped man so much. OF
course, would not advocate that here.
But the spirit and loyalty of the men
was demonstrated by the way in which
they shared their tobacco with their
comrades who did not have any. Dur
ing the st. Mihiel drive we went with
out food for nearly two days. 1t was
magnificent to see the way in which
the fellows divided what they had"
