JOHN’S CHURCH NEWS Sunday, for the first time in the history of St. John’s, was set aside exclusively for women. This was a day that will never be forgotten. In the morning a short but very excel lent program was rendered previous to the beautiful sermon on “Love,” preached by Mrs. Susie Glover. At night a program, not to be equaled in any metropolitan city, was produced exclusively by the women for women. The papers, addresses,solos and songs appealed to the emotions of the whole audience. Mrs. Russell, who was chair man of the program, deserves much credit for its excellency. The men of’ St. John feel very proud of their in telligent Christian women. But, listen the women didn’t let the flag touch PALESTINE, TEXAS All the churches had good services Sunday. Rev. S. M. Bolden was at his post Sunday and Rev. A. W.

Mrs. Laura Campbell died on the 7th and was buried on the 8th. Major Walker died on the 10th and was buried on the 12th under the aus pices of the Order of the Knights of We Have arranged for a series of six interesting articles, “War Talks, by Uncle Dan,” written by Mr. Howard H. Gross, president of the Univer sal Military Training League, of which this is the first. They tell In a graphic way why military training is of value, both to the nation and to the individual, and our readers will find them of unusual interest. I WAR TALKS! By UNCLE DAN Number One America Must Fight Hard or Germany May Win—Necessity for Mili tary Training. “Now, Billie," said his mother, “your Uncle Dan is coming tomorrow to spend a week with us on the farm, and if you want to know about the war, Bore's your opportunity. Uncle Dun is probably one of the best-informed men jbi the country." Billie clapped his hands and gave such u whoop that he wakened the baby, but what could you expect of a flfteen-year-old boy who is a living interrogation point and wants to know about war? Uncle Dan arrived in due time and Billie watched for an opportunity. It came that evening after dinner when Uncle Dan had lighted a cigar and taken a seat on the porch. “I'm mighty glad you came, Uncle Dan. I want to talk to you about the war. We have just put military train ing in our township high school, but we had a hard time to do it. The Joneses and the Grcrrgs objected. They said the war wouldn't come over here. Grandma Jones said: ‘They ain’t no use to worrit, it will soon blow over.’ Well, we put the training in just the same. You orter heard Judge Brow nell, the president of the school board, do the slackers up. He said unless we take off our coats and go to it, Ger many may yet win, and if she does, she will take over the great British fleet us a war trophy and compel us to do what ever she wants to; that she could make ns pay all the cost of the war; the kaiser could tax us as he pleased and that we couldn’t help ourselves. Ha could make every one pay over a part of what he earns; that he could make the farmers pay rent for their own farms, etc. Now, Uncle, what do you think of that?" “Well, my boy,” said Uncle Dan, “oil that Judge Brownell says might easily come true und may unless we go quickly to the aid of the allies with large numbers of men and help them break the German line. Unless we cun beat the submarines, they may pre vent us from getting enough food to the allies to keep them going. In that case Germany would win. As matters stand today, our greatest need IS trained m<n. If we had had several millions of men with military training in our industries and on our farms when the war came, who could have been called at once for service, 1 do not believe the kaiser would have forced the war upon us. As it wus, he had no respect for us, and now we are in It and must go tiyough with it. But ( never again must we be caught so wholly unprepared. "There is only one safe way,” said ^nele Dan, "and that is to adopt per manently universal military training, apply It to every young man who is physically fit, say in his nineteenth or , jtwentieth year. The training can lie ' (carried forward in the C ited States training camps that are now being es tablished for training men called by the selective draft. As soon as these j men vacate these stations, they should be filled by younger men, and this should be made the p ermanent policji ,of the country." Billie’s mother, Mrs. Graham, hud overheard the conversation. She cams out und said: “Really, Brother ore you serious as to the danger lour country? If It is as bad us that, it Is high time for us to wake up and dq Something about it.” 1 “Exactly,” replied Uncle Dan. *T( Is better to wake up now than to bq rudely awakened later. We may at well understand, sister, that this is out war and we must win it or God helj America. Everything that we hnva (or hope to have—our liberties, out blessings, our opportunities are all In volved in the great Issue before ns, (Nothing must stand between us and (winning this war. It is a question whether the peoples’ right or the kai jser’s might shall dominate the world, If there ever was a holy war, this l| It We ure fighting for world liberty, We are fighting for the freedom oj humanity. We are fighting for thy right of men to govern themselves in stead of being governed against thelj !will by a war-mad overlord. Perilous (times are ahead of us. We must bj prepared to make any sacrifice, to pen form any service that may be required of us.” “Oh, Uncle Dan," exclaimed Bilil^ "may I bring my chum, Jimmie Col. lins, when we have our next talk? Ily is a bug on this war business and Jus| crazy to see you.” “Certainly," said Uncle Dan, with a hearty laugh. “If we are to have mor< talks, I shall be glad to have Jimmly join us.” Billie clapped ms hands and ran ta the ‘phone and told Jimmie to be tr/ei vt seven o'clock the next evening.
