Tribute Of Respect to Will
lam Balm Smith.

The untimely death of Viii.
lam Balm Smith occurred at San
Francisco, California, March lst
1919. He was born April 18th,
1896. and was % years, IL month,
and IL days old He had been
in California only a few months
previons to his death. He was
born and raised in Jackson
County and made this his home
all his life until recently. He was
one of the best boys in Jackson
County, always of a happy, plea-.
sent spirit. and pleasing, lovable
disposition. He has been a loyal
member of the Christian church
almost three years. having ac-
cepted Christ as his Savior at a
meeting held by Bro. Landon
Jackson at Woodrow. He has
been very active in Sunday
school work, and prayer meeting
at Woodrow ever since. Balm was
always on hand. ready to teach
a class, leading in singing, pray
in public, Or anything else to
make Sunday-school what it
ought to be. His service as a
leader in religious work in his
community will be greatly missed
and every boy and girl, the
young people of the community,
together with the older ones,
feel that they have lost a conrad,
a brother, a friend, and christ
ain. that can not be replaced by
any one whose life and character
does not tower to the standard of
that which was Bain's guiding
star. We share the deep sorrow
and gloom that has been ushered
in so suddenly upon his precious
father and mother, Robert and
Nancy Smith, and his two sis
ters. Mrs. Willie Gilpatrick and
Caprice Smith.
| Balm did not die as one having
nc hope, but died in the faith
and triumph of a living God,
having had his robes washed
and made white in the blood of
the Lamb. his anchor in Christ,
which held sure to the end. We
cannot always understand Gods
dealings with his children, but
we are firm in the faith That
all things work together for
good to those who love God" and
commend to his family and his
many friends, the love of God
that can wipe all tears away:
the Balm of Gilaed, that can
heal a wounded heart. and may
the upturned sod of their sor-
rowing and bleeding hearts cause
the brightest blossoms of His
grace to appear.

The CHURCH MUST CARRY
The MESSAGE OF SAL
VATION To THE EN-
TIRE WORLD.

The hour has struck. when the
church must awake from its
lethrogy, and each and every
member step into the breech,
that has been made, due to the
fact that we have not yet carried
out the command, Go We into
all the world, and preach the
Gospel to every creature. I"
If you were able to stand on
planet of the ETHEREAL cline.
and look down upon this world.
you would see more suffering
than the world ever contained
before. You will see thousands
and thousands of square miles
of territory completely devast-
ated, with homes in ruin, schools
and churches destroyed, all in
dustries wrecked. You would
see millions of crosses, each
cross representing a man killed
in the prime of life, a home
blasted, a woman widowed, and
little children left alone, and
homeless. You would see more
than that. You would see Soc
ial order in wreckage, in which
whole nations struggle in confu-
sion, and attempt to rebuild
themselves. That is what you
would see, if you could survey
this world from the vantage
point of another planet.
Now. from this wreckage a
new society will arise; from this
debris a new world will be con-
structed. and as the Church
stands before an order in re-
building. she faces a tremendous
duty and challenge.
What is our duty as Church?
1t is to see that when society is
reconstructed, it be Christian.
1t is to make sure that as new
fabric of a peoples life is woven,
Christian principles are not short
through it's worp and woof.
BY this only can safety and
peace be given to the world.
Democracy means nothing. ex-
cept as it rests upon foundations
of justice and brotherhood. Rus.
sia and Mexico love democracy,
but still they menace the world,
because they are not Christian.
The Reign OF Terror in France
was the direct result of The
nations attempt to rebuild with
out God, and we must net allow
a confused people to repeat
that error.
So, when the Centenary Nov
ement undertakes the task of
reconstruction. it does the only
thing which can be done to make
the world really safe and peace
full. 1t is carrying on the WORK
which the armies of Democracy
have started. AS they made the
world safe for Democracy.
so must the Church now make
Democracy safe fo- the world.
To fail will be to brake faith
with those who have died for
us. We must fail, we can't
afford to fail, because it is a call
from God to go forth, conquer
ing and to conquer.
The Centenary Missionary
Movement is the biggest under
taking any Church has ever
undertaken for the Evangeliz-
ing of the whole world. and we
ought to count it blessed to have
apart in this great undertaking.

SOLDIERS LETTERS APPRE.
GATED BY PROMINENT
WOMAN-URCES Them
TO WRITE DIARY.
Editor of Sentinel,
Dear Mr.. Tardy:

| must tell you, and your read
ers how very much I have en-
| joyed the letters from our sold
iers, that have been published
recently in your columns. They
are all interesting, and give one
good ideas of the life aboard,
but the series of letters written
by James Draper are especially
interesting, and shows that he
possesses quite a bit of literary
talent. | am wondering if he is
the son of W. W. Draper, if so,
that is where he gets the talent
with the pen, proven in these
letters. If he is Will Draper's
son, his father need not take all
the literary credit, for, if | re-
member correctly there was once
a Jane Draper, who won a hus-
band by the beautiful and inter-
esting letters she wrote. Once
upon a time | had the pleasure
of a visit to her home with some
other girls, and we were charmed
and fascinated by the romances
of Jane and her unknown corre-
spondents, for it was then quite
the custom for the unknown cor
respondent to hold sway in tie
sentimental arena, and no known
person could supersede him in
the tournamnets of the knights
of hearts, for his letters were
his weapons, that, with the aid
of Cupid's arrows made his
ascendency above ordinary, lovers
beyond question. SO it was
with Jane and her lovers. and
from the many correspondents,
she finally chose one, and their
first meeting was when he came
from a far western state for
their wedding. Fortunately it
was a happy marriage and he
was a successful man in business
and in life, so in that instance
the romance continued. In 9TH
er cases, alas. it was not so for
tunate in the ending.
So. am wondering if James
gets some OF his talent from his
aunt Jane, If so. hope this tai
ent will prove just as potent in
the art of love, as in the art of
war. Irealy hope he, and other
of our boys may keep record of
their experiences in this great
war, just the little facts of every
day life in battle. on ship-board,
etc, will prove invaluable in the
future, for our boys are making
American History now. just as
did Washington and his men in
the day of yore. and many years
from today the sons of these
brave boys will treasure every
little scrap of information on the
unwritten annals of this war as
treasure trohpies. indeed.
One of the things sayed, when
our home was burned, that
was so thankful for, was the
little old brown leather book,
that my father kept as an auto
graph diary of the officers in
prison with him at Fort Delaware;
their scanty meels. and the little
things of interest, so few, SO
treasured, in prison life. know
ing how dear this little book is to
me, makes me want the boys to
treasure these memories of their
travels and their trials now. and
and write them down while they
are fresh in mind. and if not
given to a publisher, at least
keep them for future reference,

Facts About Army

age to evade the careful scrutiny ex-
ercised and succeed in enlisting are
weeded out when their true, charac-
tiers become manifest. Young men

not to make acquaintance too
rapidly, but to look the situation over
carefully and then choose their COM

men who served in the army who are
now engaged in civil pursuits, and
