natural emotion, Chaplain Tenent still
urged that It be overcome. and made
the following telling points, among
others:
Be ye not afraid of them'-it is
the voice of Heaven, our bleeding
country, the church and all those dear
to you. Rejoice that you have an op-
portunity to contribute your whole
might for the deliverance Of your
country from the disturbers Of the
common peace and robbers Of the
rights Of mankind. Be not
afraid Of them, for they support an
unrighteous cause, deprive Of liberty
and prosperity, ruin families, murder
them and reduce us TO abject slavery"
Again he said: "Thougs trans
planted from foreign climes, they are
flesh and blood. they are but men Of
the same material with yourselves.

and fears with yourselves. and a hall

Next to the skin are the short hairs

they must be slightly stiff. Wolf. for

Mother West Wind came hurrying up
some great clouds. They were very
black clouds. They were full of rain
and thunder and lightning and wind.
Yes. sir. they were just as full Of those
things as they could be. They were
so full OF those things that by the
time they got right over the meadow
they just couldn't hold them any
longer So the lightning flashed and
the thunder roared, the rain fell and
the wind blew. Danny awoke at once.
He looked up. He no longer could
see any light at the top. 1t was as
dark as IL it were night. Danny was
scared. Danny wasn't the only one
who was scared in that storm. You
see. 1t was very dreadful storm.
That tree began to rock. 1t began to

or seemed to. When the lightning
flashed he souealed right out. Never
mao ne known such storm.
Finally there was a worse cracking
and swapping than ever. and then
with a crash over went that tree.
When 1t struck. that hollow stub
broke into several pieces. Danny was
almost smothered in the dust from
the rotted wood inside. But he wasn't
seriously hurt. He was simply shaken
up. OF course, the very first thing
he did was to run out. Then he
promptly ran In again. You see he
felt sure that he would drown If he
stayed out. for the rain was coming
down in sheets. II was coming down
so fast that the ground couldn't soak
it up. and the water stood in great
puddles. SO Danny remained in that
piece of the fallen stub and shivered
and shook and waited and hoped.
