The scripture for the daily Bible
readings have been taken from Mark.
The fourteenth chapter of Mark con-
tains accounts of Christ's words and
experiences of the last days before
crucifixion, and Of the crucifixion. For
Friday the reading was Mark IA: 1872
and the fifteenth chapter of Mark al
so. The reading for Saturday and
Sunday is found in John 20 and Luke
24:13-35.
As interesting an account of the Re-
surrection as is given in the scripture
is found in the gospel Of John goth
chapter. Every person would be bet
ter able to enjoy Easter Sunday II this
scripture we're read by him or her
at this time.

we have all had to make great sacri-

I really did not think it our duty to

and the Company was split in three
detachments. was in the second
one, which went to Bordeaux
worked on the road for while and
was ordered to drive a truck. l en-
joyed my little stay there very much.
AS well as l remember, we left Bor-
deaux about the 18th of May, to 60
to the front, in the st. Mihiel sector,
and that is where I heard the first
big gun fired. We stayed there for
about three weeks, and then went
back of the lines for about fifty or
sixty miles, and were thero until the
last few days of the war, at which
time we all advanced right up to the
front. l was there until the last
shot was fired, and that was at ii

but piles of rock and brick, where
buildings once were. Fields that
were once productive are nothing but
shell holes and barb wire entangle-
ments, but now all is over. and the
French are returning to their homes,
Or where their homes once were, and
seem extremely proud to know they
can get there irrespective of exist
ing conditions. A truck load Of old
women came here today, and by the
time they were off the truck, they
went to what used to be their homes
and began digging up the treasures
they had buried before the war. I
saw some dig money. just how much

some fthe deepest holes in the
