Sister and Brother: Well I arrived safely Fridi v night about midnight and would of writ feu yoslerday but we were busy from early morning till late last night, checking in and getting set tled into our new home. Vi'ell dear mother, I have a million things to tell yen and really don't know where to begin. So many things to tell you about aHrvarrt and my trip. I wrote you from Troy, N. Y., and told you that I t;aw Marion and how well he was locking. Well mother, when we arrived in Cambridge, the lug Navy trucks met our special train and hauled cur baggage for us to the barracks. We marched up to barracks and were mustered in. We have the finest barracks I have ever seen. All varnished floors and wood work and every man sleeps on a nice cot instead oc an old hammock. It certainly is a great place compared with Great Lakes. We sure, hive ine chow too. We get chicken twics a week and pie and cake aud every morning we get breakfast food with j real milk. Just like being at home, ! everything is served cafeteria style and lack jack gets a trasr and goes along and picks out what he wants. I know I am going to like the place as the atmosphere of the place suits me fine and we hardly know we're in the navy. Just the same as going to school again. We' took an exami ntion yesterday and passed the en trance test so we start to school to morrow. I certainly enjoyed the trip, we passed through the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. Pennsylvania, New York. Vermont and Massachu setts', so you can imagine what a wonderful trip we had. There was so many things to see that we never got a bit tired although we were on the road 41 hours. Some of the prettiest mountains I ever saw, and aleo many falls. We traveled thru a tunnel five miles long, the first I had ever passed through. I hope you have received the letter I wrote while in Troy .because I told you how good the Red Cross treated us as we passed through the different cities. And Cambridge where we are now settled is the cleanest and most beautiful city 1 have ever seen. And many of the. sites of the battles of the revolution are located here. I am going to see the spot where the battle of Bunker Hill was "fought durirg the revolution today and a few other places I "want to visit. will write and tell you about them later. Now mother, I am informed that we. are kept very busy with our school- work during the week And our only chanc? to do much writing is at the week end. We have from Saturday noon till Mon day morning to ourselves in which to write home. So if I don't get to write quite so often you must write anyway and let me know how things are coming at home, and I will write a big long letter at least every week end. and oftener if I can possibly do it as I know you want to hear from me as bad as I want to hear from you. Now mother don't worry about me just because I am 1000 miles from home, because we are having a nicer place to live in than we had at (Jreat Lakes. I will have to close for this time, hoping these few lines finds you and the sun beams real well and that the many controversies will soon be settled and peace again be restored. I am goin to look up our church here, if there is one in Boston or Cambridge. May God bless you and protect you is my prayer, I am, Your loving Sailor Boy, AUBREY, II. DUXBERY. Address: U. S. ?a,yy Radio School Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. General Delivery. I ST. PAULS CHURCH. My dear people: The health authorities of our city cannot withdraw the order cf not holding any meetings as our city and vicinitv is still not relieved of the epidemic. The epidemic is war-born, and back of it, let us admit, is the hand of the Father. Do 'not get discour aged about the churchless situation Through a church-paper published in Switzerland, and handed to me by our sister Mrs. J. Lillie, I see that during the month of August and previous, the Swiss authorities had to closse all churches on ac count of the very same epidemic And said authorities publicly warn ed the people of a relapse of the world-wide sickness as it proved very fatal to a great extent. The time of distress and fear, when oth3r helpers cftimes fail, is the time to rest with calm mind in the multitude of His mercies. Let not ycur hearts he troubled and bil- low-sw?pt. Believe in God, and in Hi:-, dear son. For our sick friend3 and for their sadly overworked help ers, let us entreat the Great Physi cian to be present in all their homes of sickness. The master of Life holds unmeasured resources, and proves to he the help of the help less. Let us renew our faith and confidence in Him. Far more than usual let us make our churchless Sundays days of Prayer. As our cnurch rclebrc.tes the Reformation festival on coming Sunday, l?t us as true children of the reformation be grateful for the spiritual and so cial blessings cf that great liberat ing force as the Protestant reforma tion prove to be. May this period of churchless Sundays and meetings be for our city a revival cf old-time Home re ligion which we need and which are fundamental both for the church and society. J. n. STEGER. Pastor. P. S. 1 am willing to lend out some sermon-hooks in the respective language desired. The social meet ing of the Ladies Auxiliary Society must be pnsponed on account of the epidemic. I ask the members of the confirmation-class to review the memorized paragraphs of the third article running between the page3 SC aud T2 in our catechism, and to proceed in the study of the differ ent paragraphs of. the Bible-story lessons. And how about the Bible School lessons. d&w V 'i fa a 1 I ci SS3 lira From 142 to 6 hands high, four to eight years old. Must be fat and have good hair.
