noblest and most enobling conception
of God-Budhism, Mohammedanism
Judaism, or Christianity? No one
who has studied them with unbiased
mind, think, can be in doubt on this
point. Nor do 1 think of anything
more reasonable than the coming of
Christ to earth. Why should not a
God who loved His creatures say,

that is what 1 should like to make
clear to you, if possible.
What I have already said has been
with a view to showing that we are
born into a creation wrapped around
with the mystery of Infnity and Eter-
nifty. 1t is a creation bigger than our
human minds can understand. In
other words, in every one of the mil
lion starbeams of the night God whis-
pers to man that he was born for
something bigger than earth, some
thing more enduring than time No
wonder Napoleon Bonaparte, when

some infdels argued with him one
night, pointed up to the starry sky
and answered: "Who then made all
that?" And no wonder Lord Bacon
declared he had rather believe any
fable ever written than believe that
the earth and heavens developed by
mere accident.
Granting then that there is God,
is it not also reasonable that He
should wish to make some revelation
of Himself to His creatures? And if
He has so revealed Himself, what re-
ligion seems most like a genuine reve-

these things can be. The human mind
is helpless in reasoning out these
facts. Nevertheless, We know that
they are facts.

answer that it is not stranger than
the facts that face US in every starry

But perhaps you may say: "Why,
then, doesn't the Almighty make
everything so clear that man need
not be worried by doubts or fears?l

The canteen department of the Red
Cross, like all the other departments.
is perfectly organized. A new hand
entered the canteen service last week.
and told her experiences to reporter
for the State Journal
'I was scared stiff my first day for
fear I'd be late" she confessed. Il
had heard a good deal about military
discipline, and thought 1 would be
shot at sunrise, or at least, be put in
the guard house, if 1 didn't report on
the minute. But I did, so had no way
to find out what they do to tardy ones.
1 felt somewhat cock-sure when 1
heard one of the older women, in
point of service, call the captain
Cap and talk back to her just as
if she were an ordinary individual.
You see, I'd had an idea that they
had to take off their shoes and rub
sand in their hair and do stunts of
that sort on approaching a superior
officer, that being the popular method
in this great democratic country of
ours, since militarism has been the
keynote.
But, instead, nothing of the sort
seemed to be expected. Indeed, the
captain of my canteen, shook hands
with me just as if 1 were a human
being. So L began to run wild. I
thought because she was decent, and
DIDN'T spit on me or anything of that
| sort, and didn't tear her hair when
any of them came in and greeted her
| with, Howdy. Cap, that there was no
such thing as military discipline in
| the canteen. And that's where 1 made
! my first mistake.
She just Ran Out.

Yes. but with kindness. After that I

make observations. L saw that each

Doing Kitchen Police.
"My next mistake was when I was
detailed to do kitchen police-no, not
for punishment, for all must take
their turn at it. You see, We have to
spend the day over at the hut, so we
take or buy things for the meal, and
divide the cost among US. Just before
time to get the lunch one of the
women who had to drive over to the
south side on an errand. asked me to
accompany her, SO, without asking
permission, I. always crazy to drive,
jumped in the car and was off before
the astonished captain knew what was
up. l wasn't shot that time, either,
tho deserved to be, since it delayed
the lunch. Then after lunch, instead
of gathering up the dirty dishes and
going after the grease, 1 got up from
the table and walked off like a star
boarder. I never did know who did
the dishes. 1 only know that didn't.
Good Set of Officers.
"Also, the first day I was there,
along about five in the afternoon, l
asked the captain if I might be ex-
cused. I did have sense enough to do
that, without just naturally putting on
my hat and going. She was nice about

sible on my first day. So 1 gradually

sideration were not incompatible with
