him from dwelling upon some Of the
horrors through which he. had pass

forget, There were times when these
things seemed to surge and roll over
his soul like a consuming fire. At
such times he had come to feel that
there was only one thing that would
save him from insanity and that was
the thought Of God over all guiding
and controlling. and leading man up
to some greater height where he
might see his sin and know its
remedy. For the first time in his life
Ihe saw the soul sickness of the world.

heard men on every side saying that
there was no God, because He allow
ed such horrible things to happen;
but he did not feel that way. And
when he went among the boys who
were going over the top he found
in the God who was to lead them
over. and stay with them should it
happen that they never came back
All the time he had been in the Ger

In an address delivered before tn,

The Republican party offers the
women everything we offer the
men, The only just rule for a.
political party is that the rights
OF participation in the manage

be and remain equally sacred
and sacredly equal. The Kcr

constitute one-half of the party's
membership. In many states
this has long been SO. In the
