Panderers, procurers, pool-hall loaf-

governor goes so far as to say that
these men who use soldiers and army
men for the prey for their cadets will
not be spared if the legislature takes
the action that it is believed it will act
on his recommendations.
This is but one of tne recommenda-
tions that will especially apply to sol-
diers. The others deal with the liquor
traffic in all its forn^a and propose to
make all felonies, and to create a dry

wearers of mushroom and the boys
who carry handkerchiefs up their
sleeves will have a chance to reform
outside of prison walls if they so de-
sire, it is said, but a warning is con-
tained in this bit of pleasing system
tonic carrying with it the timely tip
and advice to the boys to either enlist
in armed service of Uncle Sam, else
go to work. No mercy will be shown
it is said if the laws are passed but
enforcement will be to the letter and
punishment quick and effective.
It is declared that the men or so
called men in the classes indicated will
not be hard to locate as the authori-
ties in all localities have a fair line
on them already.
It is said these laws will dispose of
the men who are not fit for military
service by putting them out of the
way so that the community will not
suffer by being compelled to tolerate
the obnoxious persons, while the war
is in progress and the MEN of the
country are away from home fighting.
A receiver has been appointed for

Worth residents would be pleased to
be the “receiver” of a little gas.

At a conference of the chaplains of
the 36th Division this week, General
Greble took occasion to say that fidel-
ity to religion, love of country and
loyalty to one’s commander are all
closely identified. In other words, to
the General religion is a natural thing
which finds its expression in the var-
ious activities of a man’s life. The
same impulse that compels a man to
bow in worship to the Almighty also
compels him to have a sense of one-
ness with humanity and a regard for
constituted authority.
Man’s worship of God we call re-
ligion. The word itself is a definition
of the term. It means to re-bind.
Starting from the hypothesis that man
is related to Deity, religion seeks to
re-bind him to Deity. The powers and
possibilities latent within him can be
developed and brought to fruition in
the struggle to attain godliness,
which is God-likelness. The keyyord in
the process is love. We seek to emu-
late the example which God has placed
before us because we love God. The
fear of God is not a cowering attitude
before him, but it has two elements,
respect and love. Because a man
fears the law does not mean that he
is afraid of it in the physical sense. It
means that his love and respect
amounts to a reverence for law.
Love and respect for God natur-
ally calls man’s attention to his fel-
lowman. If we love and respect God
we must also love and respect those
whom God loves; God commends his
love toward us in his son Jesus Christ.
Thus we swing around the circle and
come to find that Abou ben Adhem’s
religion was at last one of the highest
expressions of love, for God. “How can
a man love God, whom he has not
seen, if he loves not his fellowman
whom he has seen?”
Love of one’s fellowman very nat-
urally carries with it the corollary of
respect for the institutions which man
has tried and have found good. One
of the earliest needs of man was for
some rule or method to govern the
conduct of all. The first manifesta-
tion was in the family, then in the
clan, then the tribe and now in the
nation. Some of us are just begin-
ning to see the possibilites of inter-
national government. Religion has
always inculcated respect for govern-
ment and for those upon whom the re-
sponsibility of government rested.
Many of the ancient kings were far
from ideal, and yet God taught re-

them it will do a great deal for the efficiency of this command. The
description of the training and of the various instruments used is
not particularly important, for the men will get this gradually in
their drills, but in Part 4, page 157 principles begin again; and Part
7 is particularly important and ought to be of interest to all of the
men.

spect for them because they were
representatives of the will of the peo-
ple.
It seems a far cry to say that the
prompt and cheerful execution of a
relatively unimportant command is
connected with man’s relation to God,
and yet such is the case. Your re-
ligion relates you to God and thereby
you are placed in a position of sym-
pathy and co-operation with every
movement which has obtained God’s
blessing. The grouchy, grumbling,
unwilling soldier will generally be
found taking the same attitude to-
ward his fellowman and an indifferent
Christian.
TRYING TO SHOW HIM THAT HE
WAS RECOGNIZED.
A few days ago, the colonel of the
regiment having gone away to school,
a major was left in the capacity of the
commanding officer of the regiment.
He went into the canteen and
made several purchases and from all
indications was not recognized as the
commanding officer. 'He felt that the
men in the canteen should be apprised
of his position so he took it up with
the canteen officer.
The canteen officer advised the men
that Major Soandso was commanding
officer and entitled to the same cour-
tesies that the colonel has received.
A few days later the major again
entered the canteen and made pur-
chases. One or two of the clerks rec-
ognized him. Another one wanted
him to know that he also “was on the
job,” headed the major off as he was
leaving the building. He came to at-
tention, saluted. The major did the
same. Neither spoke.
“Well what is it?” the major ask-
ed.
“Major, sir. It is a nice day isn’t
it?” replied the pleasant young cor-
poral. The major smiled, buttoned
his overcoat and rushed out into the
blizzard-like day slamming the door
as he went.
Patterson—we mean the young cor-
poral—looked after Major Green—we
mean the major, walked over to the
stove and began warming his hands,
all the while feeling that truly the
major would know that he had been
recognized.
RECOMPENSE.
Corporal Isham J. Osborne.
I stand upon the brink of that great
space,
Out there they call it war.
I do not know the trials, or what I
face,
Or things I will abhor.
But go I will, and enter there my
name,
Upon the roll of stife,
I shall not seek repose in halls of
fame,
Instead a life for life.
A life for life—the blood of Huns
shall pay
For gallant sons of ours,
Who shed their blood upon the Fland-
ers clay
To glut the Prussian Powers.
Is there a man whose blood so thin
and cold
Still courses on untirr’d;
Whose coward heart ne’er beats in ac-
tion bold;
Whose lips ne’er cry a word ?
Is there a wretch who still goes on for
gain, ,
Or tries to shirk the call
For fear that he will cause another
pain ?
God knows, it pains us all,
The strife, the pain, the loss, of course
will come;
But after that, they cease.
And each of us has added to the sum,.
To make a lasting peace.
