DOING BUSINESS WITH GOD

The Methodist Episcopal church
of Perrysburg is joining for the
next six weeks with others of the
denomination in the greatest cam
paign for tithcrs ever undertaken
by Protestant church. The
object is to secure at least a mil
lion tithers, who will pledge them
selves to devote at least one-tenth
of their income to religious pur-
poses.
In this area, the Stewardship
Drive" is under the leadership of
III. A. Truesdale, Conneaut, Ohio,
business man, who is devoting all
his time to it. The local commit
tee leading this part of the Cen
tenary work is headed by G. A.
Hampton. The next few weeks
will be interesting weeks.
Leaders Of Methodistism believe
the tithing system will solve many
problems, financial and otherwise,
enabling the church to be true to
the work given her, and the grow
ing opportunities Of these stirring
days. "The old days when the
church fair, oyster supper, and the
ice cream sociable were trusted,
corner stones Of church finance are
passing away" says Missiles,
organ Of the Centenary minute
men. "The Centenary message of
Stewardship marks the coming Of
the new day." 's

at about o'clock in the morning, and
after eating breakfast we left Done

There we loaded into train, or rather
box cars, which were about half as
large as those we have at home. They
put 35 men in each car. We were
packed in so that we did not have room
enough to lie down and sleep at night.
We left Toulain about 10 o'clock in the
morning and the next night about z
o'clock we arrived at Tourino, Italy.
There we unloaded and paraded around
on the streets until 10 o'clock. Then
we loaded back on the train again and
continued our journey. We passed
through Milano, Italy, which is quite a
large city. We travelled through the
Alpine Mountain region, passing
through many large tunnels One tun-
mel, the longest one we passed through
going through the Alps Mountains
from France to Italy, was about nine
miles long. After travelling for two
days and one night we finally arrived
at Villa Franco, Italy, on July %.

many interesting points such as the
monument of Dante and the Arena,
which is one of the oldest buildings in
Verona. Part of it was destroyed by
an earthquake in the year 1884.
We did not stay long at Villa
Franco for we were ordered to move to
Valeigo, town about seven miles from
where we were now located. So on
August 13 we were marched on to
Valeigo, where we all camped out in
tents, eight men to tent. 1t was
much better than being packed up in
the billets, for the weather was quite
hot at that time. On September l we
were ordered to the trenches, but not
the front line trenches, just trenches
used for training. Here we stayed for
"a hours. We sure had an awful time
for it rained all the time we were
there. The next few days we spent in
learning new skirmish formations and
throwing grenades.
On September 13, while we were
practicing a new formation, we had

Dreadful Cough Cured.

A severe cold is often followed by
rough cough. for which Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has proven especially
valuable. Mrs. F. w. Olsen, Marys-
vile, Mo-, writes: "About two years
ago my little boy Jean caught a severe
cold and coughed dreadfully for days.
I tried a number of cough medicines,
but nothing did him any good until l
gave him Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. 1t relieved his cough right away
and before he had finished taking one
bottle he was cured. I think it is just
fine for children"
