Mrs. A. l.. Walker of Camden
Star Route sends us the following
letter written by her brother, Rev.
0. A. Utley, who is serving with
the Y. M. G. A. in France:
Brest, France, April Is, 1919
Dear mother and Sister Lizzie: I
received yours of March Is on the
10th of April, and was indeed glad
to hear from both of you. We at
the front just live on letters. They
are our great support.
Say, by the way, if you think it
interesting ! would like to give
you little history of my sojourn
in England and France. l left
Memphis for New York July 10,
1918, spending two weeks in Co.
lumbia College and the remainder
of my time there in Office "Y" work.
I left New York by rail for Mon
treal, Canada, September /. Here
BIG "Y" men boarded the English
Steamer Burmah for Liverpool,
going down the st. Lawrence River
TO Quebec September 2, where we
waited for convoy to gather. Next
day we sped on toward England in
company with twenty-one other
steamships led by battle cruiser
to ward off submarines.
1t was beautiful sight to see
the steamers moving in a uniform
line. All we could see was water.
The last land / saw was Anticosti
Island until the British Isle was
sighted. The water was rough.
All of us were seasick and delivered
"the goods" overheard without any
coaxing. About that time we were
passing Newfoundland with Cape
Breton to the right, but two far
away to be seen. A dense fog on
Sunday, the 9Th, prevented us from
seeing anything but the splash of
the buoy flying behind the ship in
front. We passed around Cape
May the same day, but too far away
to see land.
We had reading, prayer and song
service each day. One day while
on board, | remember, as we sung
such songs as Coward Christian
Soldiers" BLESSED Be the Tie
That Binds" ""God Be With You

SOLDIER LETTERS
FROM OV ERSEAS

Chapel has received the following
letter from her son, @. Il. Rushing,
who is still on duty with the Amer
lean oversee forces in France:
Podensac, France, March o.
Dear mother and sister: This is a
cold, rainy Sunday. I attended
church and Sunday school this
morning. In my company of $50
men only l3 go to Sunday school.
Rosie, l hope Frank is at home by
this time and that all are we'll.
Well, / had a letter from you
this week and also some copies of
The Camden Chronicle. l was
glad to get the papers. They we're
interesting TO me, for [ never hear
anything about any of the boys.
enjoyed reading their letters
to homefolks, but they have bet
ter memory than l have. There
are some things I will remember
as long as I live, but I can not tell
you of them.
Well, we had a horse sale the
other day. Uncle Sam sold about
20 horses to the French, and they
certainly need them, for donkeys
and cattle are all the stock they
have, but they certainly have large
oxen. The French people don't
know anything about four-wheel
wagon or buggy. They use carts
and work oxen by their horns and
work donkeys with a yoke. It is
80 different to what we are accus. |
toned to at home. : often tell the |
boys that if 1 had hog and could |
sell it at the same price Frenchmen
sell pork would soon get rich.
Well, mother and sister, | don't
know when I will come home. I
hoped that We would get there in
April, but have about given it up.
But l would be Thankful to get
back any time this year in peace.
Peace is what we want, and peace
is what we must have il this old |
world ever amounts to anything,
and it don't take fighting alto
gether to have peace. 1t requires
more religion, more praying. We
can't do anything ourselves. We
must look to higher power. That
rs the trouble today, The world
has forgotten God. Sometimes it
seems to me, when | see sin on
every hand, that there can not be
much more to the world without q
change. The church is on trial.
The church is facing the greatest
opportunity in history to do good.
Europe needs reconstruction; the
world is undergoing reconstruc-
tion, and it is imperative that
Christian influences control in the
reconstruction work.
In some parts of France the
moral conditions are distressing,
and the influences bode no good
for the American soldiers, many of
whom are adopting French habits.
It looks like they are trying to
drink all the wine in France, but
the French can make it as fast as
cur boys can drink it. I hope,
however, the boys will mend their
ways after they return home and
try to lead better life.
The oversee boys are going to
WELD an influence in the United |
States when they return home,
and I sincerely trust it will be for
good and that they may be thank
ful that our country escaped the
horrors and destruction wrought |
in Belgium and France. l hope
they will remember to thank God |
for sparing their lives and permit
ting them to return home. But |
there are lots of mothers sons now
resting in the Argonne and num-
ber of other places in Europe.

We sympathize with these dear
mothers, God bless them.

friends. Accept love and prayers
