The modern man no longer pre-
serves the memories Of his great

Won and Lost

Three young men were dining. After
the meal one of them wagered an
other that the latter could not balance
a glass of water on each hand. The
challenge was accepted. Placing his
hand palm down, flat on the table
top the challenged one lei his com
panions place glass of water on each
of his outstretched hands. Easy"
said he. "You win," replied the other
two and they placed the meal cheeks
in his coat pocket and departed. Amid
the laughter, of other diners, the
hoaxed youth had to invoke the aid of
a waitress before he could be relieved
of his embarrassing burden.-Bostop

Testing Block Tin

It would be necessary to have q
chemical analysis made to tell wheth.
er block tin is pure. A block-tin pipe
will have the characteristic white
color of tin on a filed surface, it will
be soft and easily bent, and it will
"crackle" on rapid bending. This "tin
cry" is due to the motion of the large
tin crystals. The melting point of
pure tin is about 232 degrees cent?
grade, and this gives another method
of checking the purity.

As people are gathered this morn

mind is naturally filled with
thoughts Of the awful price that had
to be paid for the safety Of democ-

reached, in round numbers. nineteen
million, six hundred and fifty-eight

ward France. In her ruthless war
fare upon the sea Germany began to
send even American ships. both mer-
chant and passenger, to a watery
grave, carrying many American citi-
Gems to an untimely death. Because
Of Germany's refusal to make
amends for those atrocities and to
guarantee the safety of American
ships, u chief executive, President
Wilson, saw fit Il declare war upon
b imperial German government on
April 9th, 1917. Rapidly the best of
Americas manhood was gathered to
places of training, and after short
but efficient training those men were
rushed to the battle fields Of France.
More thar two hundred thousand
boys OF this great Lone Star State
put on the khaki; seventy-five thou
sand of them were sent to France,
and two thousand Of them lay down
their lives a sacrifice for the democ-
racy of the world. Perhaps there
are those present this morning who
mourn for an unreturning soldier.
Ny friend, no greater honor could be
yours than the knowledge that your
country saw fit to accept the best
you had to offer il. The realization
that your boy sleeps in Flanders
Field, the liberator of humanity and
honored Of the world, should fill
your heart with peace and Joy. The
keener edge of the sorrow is taken
away when you know he took his
place as a man among men and died
for that which he knew to be right.
And after all, where would you have
them sleep? The lines Of a diving
soldier came to mind:

Of the war, IL is enough TO stagger US.
One hundred and twenty billions OF
dollars were spent in the destruction
Of homes and fife. The world can not
hone TO ecoye from her economic
and human losses whiting the next
hundred wears. The thought OF all
these losses makes us wonder what
can be done TO prevent a return OF
a lik catastrophe.
The war pressed upon my mind
great fact: That the nation founoeo
unon anything other than Gods prin-
ciples of righteousness would some
day fall. There are laws OF nature
that one can not violate with I'M
nunity. The one who drinks poisoned
water. must suffer for. the violation
Of a natural law. Bind VI your arm,
and soon il becomes useless, because
YOU have broken a natural law. Inc
eating of impure food or breathing
poIuted air means the tearing down
az the health Of the individual be-
cause Of his transgression OF n nat
ural law. Just as truly are there
moral laws ordained by the fatner
and an individual cannot break with
out suffering the penalty. Strong
character can only be builded upon
the immutable laws of Cod and tnat
life which is founded upon anything
else is as the house built upon the
sand by the foolish man; when the
test comes il crumbles. These moral
laws are just as binding upon the
nation as upon the individual. Let
national life be founded upon any
thing else and sooner or later It's
downfall will Greece builded
an intellectual nation, and as the
messengers Of Christ came with the
story OF salvation through Him, her
people spurned their message as
foolishness. Today her great insti-
tutions Of learning are but a heap OF
crumbled ruins. Rome founded her
nation upon a military autocracy, and
though nj one time she had the most
powerful nation ever known. she
would not heed Gods laws, and her
nation was humbled in the dust:
France, under the leadership OF
NAPOLEON, followed Rome's leading,
with the ultimate defeat OF Napoleon.
Germany thought that might made
right. a reversal Of Gods law, and
we know the suffering it brought
upon the world, and the shame and
misery meeted out to Germany.
We are forced to see. Therefore, that
there is on path lading away from
war and its attndant evils. There is
but one thing that will assure Us that
there will never be n repetition OF
that through which we then were
forced to pass. That n thing will
be for Christ to be enthroned in the
hearts Of all people everywhere. !
