The singing of these H. boys seemed bo good to those pres- H ent that the were encored and had B9 to respond with more than one song. m , The Rev. E. T.

Bl "There Is joy and satisfaction that BY comes from honest effort that Is j not excelled by any other, the sense BV of power to create and dominion or- B er material things. While honest ; labor, the power and capclty to do B things and get results has a dlg- K nlty all its own, yet whea mea work BB such hours of labor and for such lBfA) aa Insignificant wage as to make l " of their lives a struggle for a bare AM' existence, with no time for relrea- 'BT. tlon, and for mental and and moral BJ development, work becomes slavery f and demeans and discourages tho '', . workmen. TU3 ground Is thus pro- ' B' pared for the agitator to spread tho ' I seed of sedition and discord. I have : '.' ' always believed that there should ' bo a more equitable adjustment of B rewards for work doao and services ,: rendered but that readjustment, my ' I friends, must take the form of evolution evo-lution and not revolution. There la no room In America for the anarchist, an-archist, the I. W. W., or the Bol shevlk. What I believe ought to come la a process which will be the very antidote to such a catastrophe something that will make for a wider, wid-er, closer and more real brotherhood of man. Probably nothing haa happened hap-pened In all the history ot the world from which We hare learned so much and so many valuable lessons as the present world war. The battlefields of Europe are aa a fiery furnace scorchlnr and burning everything aomlng Into contact with them and the droas and alloy are being burned burn-ed out ot men's hearts, leaving bo- ' hind only the pure gold.

If the enemy intended to fall back upon up-on this line he was forced Into a general withdrawal along his whole front from Rhelms to Ypres, and his chancek aro rapidly dwindling as the British lines surge forward at the very center of the great battle front. Marshal Halg's forces are moving on Cambral, the key to a largo section sec-tion of the old line, and If that place Is taken It appears tho enemy will be forced to evacuate the salient sal-ient into which he is rapidly being pocketed by the French and American Ameri-can advance on the , Olse-Ailette lines ln tho south "and the British thrust eastward from Peronne to ETI SSBSSBsgi 7 : the north, So evident Is the growing disorganisation disor-ganisation among the Germans, some "officers think it possible tho enemy may be forced to a withdrawal withdraw-al to the Rhine this year.
