 Another Smile
 Dad hands out another smile for us While the evangelist was talking one morning, patient on the front seat slowly drew up his left trouser leg to above the knee, put his finger care fully down upon the offender. rolled him firmly between his finger ana thumb to destroy the locomotory pow CTS of the beast, then laid him on the arm of the seat and put his thumb mai down on top of crippled Mir Louse and ''l could hear the thing snap from where 1 was sitting eight feet away. 1 smile Co think of what some of you would think of such an incident if it happened at chapel exercises where you might see it. Common enough here.
 Then too here is criticism of Evaugeline written by a freshman. eI like this story very much because t tells about the bad results of love. Many ped pie of the present age fall in love and they cannot get ID. They waste time and money and even sac rifce themselves for nothing. They have many important things to do in the world but they do not care except love. When l have read this story know that both Gabriel and EVange- line had this bad result. So l like it, for it teaches us to get away from the dangerous disease, the love. think that the author was also man of despair. He had once Co fall in love and himself suffered the same sad feelings in order that he could write this story so beautiful, sorrow ful and hopelessly. Vanity of van ity, vanity of vanity. all is vanity
 Nurse Tells Experience
 We grew very fond of the two Aus tralian nurses that spent last summer at Sharp Peak. One of them was tell ing of her experiences during the war. Two times while serving on transports carrying wounded, the boats were tor nedoed. One. with five hundred ter ribly wounded soldiers on 1t. They managed to get all but nine of them off in the boats and on rafts in the seventeen minutes of time they had before the transport sank. Neering suddenly from such nsrve-racking tales, she remarked that she was walk ing one day on the shore of the Sea oi Galiiee which, by the way. is very salt water, when she came across twt Tommies who were being "Jewed' bS Jew. The Tommies wanted to rids in a boat to where Jesus had walked on the water, but the Jew was asking an exorbitant price for the trip. One of them said to her, Sister, this chap wants a whole pound tfl to take us out there. At such price, of course Jesus just had to walk"
 Travel with Guards
 Militarily. how are we? No orc seems Co know One thing we do know and that Is. that the soldiers arc SO hard Co manage. even when they come as patients, that 1t would not bc safe to leave the hospital open while we are away. Another thing. a few weeks ago, as General Song was re- turning from a feast, his auto was bombed, killing three men and slightly w0unding the general. Ills guards shot rather promiscuously to clear sLe .t.raat ard tue hnd fhrec or fo44F
