THE LITTLE LAVENDER BAG. Some thoughtful soui has deslgned for the badly wounded and serfously sick patients in the Entente hospitals little lavender bag or sachette to pin upon the pillow and bring to the suffering the refreshing fragrance o) this garden herb. Sixteen thousand of these fragrant messenzers of interest and thought- fulness found their way to hospital pillows the first year. A these little gifts as follows: “I do wish that you could see how much the dainty little lavender bags mean ‘i to most of the wounded.

THE MAN WHO TALKS Do you talk about common people in a way to have it inferred there is something uncommon about yqu and vours? 1 wouldn't, because it makes you seem to lack common sense. The Savior belonged to the common people and so did Abraham Lincoln, who said there was no doubt God loved the common people because he made sO many of them. The common people are- the support and the defence of every nation; and when we Jook for the soul of a nation it is found in the spirit of the common people. It is said that as a result of the war France has found her soul: and that Eng- land has found her soul; and that America is in a way to find her soul: and where do you suppose they find the soul of a nation? In the spirit of self?sacrifice and defence of the peo- ple, the spirit which wipes out pre- tence and reestablishes the spirit of brotherhood. When these great na- tions have found their soul they will have revealed to them their past er- rors /because the Christ spirit wiil supply them with purer hearts and a deeper vision. The conceit which makes people feel they are uncommon ‘| takes them far from home. There are a lot of mental exercises which would be just as good for us as the approved physical exercises. For instance, when you get to thinking some one is bad, and this is really a bad habit of thought, just ask your- self how bad he is, and then how much werse is he than vourself? It may be embarrassing to you,'but it g00d mental exercise. Thoreau in his day used to meet a drunk upon the highway and one spring day he saw the remains shovelled up from beside ihe road. His only comment was: “l do not know but he was more of a philosopher than I!” To come right down to cold facts no ‘one can possibly know how good or bad the other fellow is; and I question the ability of any man to correctly an- lalyze his own character along these |lines. Introspection is good mental exercise and no medicine is hetter for bumptiousness. An old authority says, “If thou sees rthing in thy- if Which may make thce proud, look little further and thou shalt find enouzh to humble thee.” The feliow who doubts his own goodness is better | than he who doubts the other fellow’s. | like to associate with | who knows the eky | the the man a. and who can tell what is doing there. “There’s a wind and | hail-storm getting tozether over there,” said my mentor directing my attention to a dense cloud-mass in the sky with a funnel-shaped appendage beneat there’s wind and ice in ;:haz. but it i ng to pass us, and { expend SewW its force."I noticed then it was taking its funnel shaped part, and it soon had it all absorbed; and it want drifting toward the Con- necticut valley: and the next day we read that trees had been uprooted and the tobacco fields of Connecticut had been damaged bv hail. 1 do not know how he coulq tell that ice-cloud from the regular, dense thunder cloud. or why the one cloud should roar with wind and the other with taunder. 1 when 1 was planning of pleasure on the water, a seaman told me: “You will not %o tomorrow. for there will be a fierce northtwesterly gale.” There was.

We love it for what it IS, and has been and will be-to us, and to the oppressed of all nations. What we should do when it passes us or we pass it, is to be become con- sclons of its worth to us and be as willing to follow it and fight for it ! in its hour of need as to raise our hats to it in salute wh it passes by. If we do not have the love that makes us its defenders the raised hat or any other kind of salute is mockery. John Rockefeller, Jr., stands as a free thinker and sane critic within the Baptist fold and his utterances are commanding international _attention. He said recently “What the church craves to-d: more spiritual and less formal religion.” The world at large has been conseious of this for a long time, and it is to be hoped that the teeth of religious formality will soon be extracted as unnecessary for the well-being of the church.

It fis have a uni ambition, also necessary and T good to but it is in of to have a unity divine love and compassion and power. Preaching and praying are necessary, but there is no substitute for Christian tactivity and that soul power which is attractive and heavenly. Christian exclusiveness and scowling are pleas- ing only to his Satanic majesty. Here is a bit of up-to-date advice which it is safe to commend: If a man is inclined to lead a fast life he should lead it to the first hitehing post and tie it” In such a life gthe longest way round should not be thought to be the nearest way home. The minimum is the darling and the {maximum the foe. If experience -is i necessary, and there is no denying that experience has its mrerits, one should he careful not to get too much of it. In a fast life there are thrills and shocks. The thrill is nothing to tie to, but the first shock is the place to hitch. the rope and to make a square knot, to he sure the hold is firm. Then he_should give attention to repairing his inclination. It is not strange men sometimes desire more serve than they jean find ‘in the regulation, every day life. We all know iife is the dullest kind of condition in the absence of purpose. The man of purpose is hitched to a dependable steed and has nod inclination to be faster than his endeavor, 3 A public speaker s: the other day, “I see things as they are. I never let myself be duped.” If we all only had his vision! How many more can there be, think you, in the hundred million of us, who have their feet planted upon such a rock.

The other two members of the crew jumped oveérboard and we picked them up. The raft was not mu.h bigger than this bed (about 7ft. by 5ft.)— only just big énough to hold the nine of us, huddled up togéther. We had not much clothing on, and the only food we had was a tin of biscuits and a barrel of fresh water. An hour agd a half later the ship went down. We were drifting near her all the time. and we had a good view of the submarine, for-she came quite close to the raft. She was a big craft, at least as long as the Eglinton. and she carried two gums—one, fairly large, mounted for'ard and the other, a smallet gun, mounted aft. We could see the officer on her conning tower giving his directions and wateh the unners swing the gun round. I could | ave thrown a stone on her. The of- d, ficer and his men must have been able wounded, but they said nothing and offered no help, and as soon as our ship sank they circled around us and went off.

If we tried to move, too much weight would be put on one end of the raft and it would dip. Several times one or another of us was swept off by a wave, and had to climb or be lifted back. During the first day one of the seamen died, and we put his body overboard. None of us slept that night. In the morning the steward died. He had lain desperately injured on the raft for 24 hours.

Hearst-Pathe News | | OTHER VIEW POINTS | All of us are bragging a little over the fact that, when the last official statement was made, we had a littie more than eleven hundred thousand men in uniforms overseas. We have a right to be proud of it because it is the greatest military achievement |which the world has ever witnessed but what ought to make ps feel fair- iy happy is that, though male help is searce, things are going on much as ever because there are a good many people in the United States in normal times.

It is a fairly good sized coun- try ich Germany has undertaken to “Do you realize how many tons of shipping it takes to ship a single sol- dier?” Dr. Arthur Davis, formerly dentist to Kaiser Wilhelm, records as a question once put to-him by his im- perial patient. “Well, it takes six tons to a man! To send over an army of 500000 men, thefefore, -your country wonld ‘equire ,800,000 tons of shipping in additidn to tonnage required for reg- ular traffic. Where is it coming from, with my submarines sinking the allied vessels faster than they can ever be replaced? My U-boats are doing won- derful work and we are prepared to take care of all the troops America may try to land in France.” If ever there was a monstrousiy empty hoast. here was one. Is the kaiser reading the re- view before the British house of com- mons of the naval situation with' the statement that we aré now gaining 100,000 a montk in ship tonnage over the wonderful undersea craft of which the kaiser prematurely boasted? The trouble with Wilhelm, and the typical mistake is likely to cost him his head- gear, is that he was figuring on what he could detect with the naked eye rather than on the potentialitiés of an awakeheq America. He made the mis- take of awaking such an America and once more fell down badly on his psy- chology.~—~New Haven Journal-Courier. CASTORIA huvzfiufigfi:n Alv‘y!belu
