It may bu n call from almost any lnrt of tlio 'Aorld, a Hiiininona to turn out for almost any kind or military duty. Wlmtlmr It bo to talio part in a Hoxor uprlsliiB In China or In a NIcn raguan revolution, to Riiard tlio polls dttriiiK an election In Panama or to Ruuicl tlio Arnorlcan consulato at Valparaiso, Chllo, it Ih tlio Arnorlcan marine, tlio "Unit aid" man of tlio country's armed service, who rushes to tlui front. And "ruolies" la tlio word. For speed Is tlio ele ment which above all others Is drilled, hammered and pounded night and day into tlio constitution of tlio marine. On tlio principle that a lire caught In its early stages will bo readily extinguished, tho United States marlno corps is organized to respond to any call at u moment's notlco nnd Bmother tlio Incipient blazo. In fact, their hurried appearance on tho scono has often prevented tho outbreak of threatened conflagration. "From tho halls of Jlontozuma to tho shores of Tripoli" Is tho way tho song startB which they have inailo known In every part of tho world. "Tho hallB of Montezuma?" Yes, tho marines havo seen servlco In Moxlco. It was back in tho days of 1847 when thoy woro present nt tho storm ing of Chnpultepec, tho strong castlo on tho forti fied hill near Mexico City, whero tho ancient Aztec rulers hold sway. "To tho shores of Tripoli?" Yes, It was back in 1803 that American marines marched ncrosa tho desert of northern Africa for COO miles, and after capturing tho Tripolltan Hag hoisted that of the United States for tho first tlmo In tho history of the country on n fortress of tho Old World. China, Japan, Corea, Egypt, AlglcrB, Tripoli, Chile, Mexico, Cuba, Sumatra, Formosa, Hawnll, Santo Domingo, Porto Itlco, Nicaragua no, this is more than a moro geographical list of countries, it is a roster of somo of tho countries In which tho American marines have been called on for aorvlco. And thoy sing: "From tho Hell Holo of Cavlto To tho Ditch at Panama, You will find them very noody Of Marines that's what wo arc Wo'ro tho watch dog of a pile of coal, Or wo dig a magazine Though our Job-lots thoy aro manifold, Who would not bo a Marino?" UbhiultoiiH they aro In Held of action. Manifold nro their duties. Amphibious creatures also they are, lighting by land or sea. Thoy aro called "soldlors of tho sea." Ready for "fun or frolic," they servo on war vessels and land, both In times of peace and war. When fighting on tho battleships or cruisers to which thoy aro assigned thoy man tho six-Inch, live-Inch nnd three-inch guns, and tho slx-poundors of tho intermediate and boeondary batteries. They aro trained and fully equipped for Instant service as landing parties. When thoy land they tnko with them if needed ship guns of three, tlvo and six-Inch caliber. Part of their training Is to mount theso pieces In aultablo shorn positions. They are taught tho various methods of slinging and trans porting ordnance. Ashore in foreign countries they fight or per form peaceful duties, according to need. And when thero Is any lighting to bo done, they nro generally tho men who start It. They open the way for bigger fighting, If such should bo neces sary. Thoy nro tho forerunners of both tho nrmy ami navy. They nro tho "hurry up, clean 'om up quick nnd eat 'om nllvo" boys. Except In caso of big and important lighting, tho marines usually finish tho Job nlono. As tho marine corps all told coinprlscB only 10,000 men and 331 olllcers, It could not f.ght 11 war but for tho dozens of smallor calls tor military aid, It Is all BUtllclent. If either tlio army or navy or both aro to como Into action later on, It Is usually tho marines who havo taken tho first stop against tho enemy. "Advance base," work has now be come ,011 Important, probably the most Important, pnrt of their serv ices. This means constant nronnrn- tlon to pack up nnd bo off nt n mo ment's notice. It means that in 1M hours or less after a call comes they will havo all foodstuffs, personal equipment, guns, ammunition, tents, hos pital supplies and everything olso that may bo needed, cither in cold or warm country, aboard ship and bo rendy to sail for any part of tho world. And off they go singing: "Our Hags unfurled to every breezo From dawn to setting sun; Wo havo fought In every cllino nnd tdnco Whero wo could tako u gun. In tho snows of far-off Northern lamia And In sunny tropic scones, You will llnd us always on tho Job, Tho United StateB Marines." Thoro has been only one year since 1'JOO when tho marines wero not called on for duty on somo foreign Bhoro. And during that period only 2fi of them havo boon killed. Nineteen of these, ono of them nn olllcer, fell during tho Intornntlonal relief expedition to protect tho foreign legations nt Pekln during tho Hoxor rebellion in 1900. In tho following year two wero killed in tho Samnr campaign In tho Philippines. Five wero killed In Nicaragua In October, 1912, whllo fighting against revolutionists. Tho president of Nicaragua, mem bers of his cabinet nnd other prominent cltizeiu of tho Central American republic attended tho funeral sorvlccs of tho four marines killed in the light nt Unrrancns Hill, nenr Masaya. In addition. ' as soon bb General Chamorro, then minister of foreign affairs In Nicaragua, now minister from that country to tho United Stutes, lenrned of tho deaths of tho marines, ho called on Amorlcan Minister Weltzel and expressed his sympathy and thnt of his government. In 1900 wo find marines landing In China to assist snllora and marines from other countries In relieving tho besieged legations at Pokln. In It dnys this was accomplished. In 1901 they 'land ed In Samnr, ono of tho Philippines ; also woro called to Panama nnd Colon. They wero In Pana ma again In tho throe- following years. In November, 1903, a company of marines .had tho novel experience of riding cnmels across tho desortB of Africa, as thoy accompanlod n repre sentative of tho Amorlcan stato department into tho henrt of Abyssinia to Its capital for a confer ence with its famous King Menollk. In tho same year another company went to Seoul, Coren, to protect the Amorlcan legation during nn Insurrec tion. Santo Domingo and Panama needed marines in 1905. In tho following year It was In Cuba and Panntua that they servod In Panama on account of disturbed conditions Incident to tho holding of an election, In Cuba ns part of tho "Army of Cuban Pacification," which succoeded In pacify ing the Incipient Cuban revolution of 190G, re maining In tho Hold nnd occupying Cuba for about two years. In this caso the marines wero first in tho Held and tho only troops engaged In tho dlsnrinnment of the insurgent forces. Panama at election tlmo In June, 1908, saw the marines again as, poltco at tho polls. Threatened destruction of American property in Nlcnrngua sent the marines thoro In December, 1909, nnd In the following year they saw service In tho sanio revolutionary country. On account of tho revolu tion which resulted (n the founding of tho Chinese republic, marines wero sent there in 1911 to en largo tho legation guard. Last year they fought In Nlcnrngua, and this year thoy went to Santo Domingo, although thoy woro not compelled to go ashore In t'10 latter country, their prosonco on a gunboat In tho harbor bolng sufficient for tho needs of tho occasion. , In 1907, tho ono year since 1900 when the ma rines woro not called on for foreign military serv ice thoy aided in tho humanitarian work of help ing tho earthqunko sufferors of tho Island, of Ja maica. Opportunity for foreign travel 1b ono of tho inducements hold out to prospective recruits in the Bervlco. From one-half to tliroo-fourtha qf a marine's enlistment, it Is pointed out, may bo lausmze zmwmg m c&s&r served outside of the United States or at sen. And tho marine may travel and see tho world without expense to himself. Not only nro all his traveling expenses paid, but ho receives a salary in addition: nnd If ho' has a desire to be eco nomical, It Is shown that a marlno can lny by ti tidy sum or money, and that, too. without denying him self tho necessities of life, whllo also allowing himself a fow moder ate luxuries. If h remains lc tho service 30 years ho can save moro than $10,000 Then he cni! retire with all this money to his credit and with a pension in addition of from $3l.ri0 to ?C7.&0 a month, according to the rank, ho held nt tho tlmo of retirement. During tho 28 years moro than 500 marines have been placed on tho retired list. Thoro Is not a slnglo vacancy In the marlno corps. Its quota of 10,000 men nnd 334 olllcers Is kept filled, le-enlistmcnls or recruits taking up all tho vacancies ns fast as they occur. In spite of tho attractions which are held out for enlistment In tho marlno corps, foreign travel, great variety of service, comparatively light worb most of tho tlmo nnd so on, It Is not a mere mat ter of application followed by a perfunctory exam ination Which will land a man In this service. Tho examination Is sovere. This applies especi ally to physical fitness, although mental and moral qualifications aro considered also and rank high In the mind of tho recruiting officers. Applicants at recruiting stations are rejected for ninny reasons. Men aro not wanted who aro morally tinfit uny more than nre those who can not moot tho desired physical requirements. The mnrino corps desires to maintain a high standard and will not accept men who. In tho opinion of the olllcers In charge, nre likely to prove deserters, cowards or weaklings In any wny, or who may havo a bad influence on tho other men. Recruiting officers are alert In efforts to ptevent tho enlistment of any men who try to get Into tho service ns u means of escaping from tho results of misdoing. Such nion, It Is always feared, will try deserting when opportunity offers. When n mnn Is recruited IiIb Hertlllon record Is promptly for warded to Washington, whero records aro search ed to see If he has ever before been enlisted in nny branch of tho Bervlco and discharged for cause. As tho recruits aro not sworn In for four or live days, this gives time to catch them If thoy have tried to get In wrongfully. Criminals nre sometimes caught In this way trying to escape the clutches of tho law by enlisting In the government service. Washington has other Hertlllon records besides thoso mado In tho recruiting offices. Enlistment In the marine corps Is for four years Ixist year thoso who had been In tho service liked It so well that 40 per cent, of thoso whoso terms oxplrod, re-enlisted for another four-yenr period. The training 1b systematic and careful, developing tho best thnt 1b In a man. There nro special ex erclses for strengthening weak parts of tho body, which ennblo tho marines to stand the rigors of the hardest campaign with n minimum of physical fatigue. The pay for the newly enlisted man Is $15 a month nnd keep, which Includes food, allow ances for clothing and so forth. In nddltlon thoro is extra pay for men who win mnrkmanshlp med als, who recelvo good-conduct medals and who aro proficient in various lines of work. It has boon shown that a marine, after allowing himself a fair amount each month for extras, can retiro after 30 years' servlco with moro than $10,000 in bnnli drawing interest at 4 per cent. Kipling sings of him: "An' after I mot Mm all over tho world, a-doln' all kinds of things Like lnndln' 'issoir with a Gntlln' gun to talk to them 'eatlien kings; 'E sleeps In nn a'mmlck Instead of a cot, nn' 'e drills with tho deck on a slew; There Isn't a Job on top of the enrth the beggar don't know to do. You can leavo '1m nt night on a bald man's 'ead to paddlo Ms own canoe; 'E's n port of a bloomln cosmopolous soldier and snllor, too." Tho American murine, "Soldier of tho Sea," known all over tho world from Gibraltar to Yoko hama, has beon a strong factor In helping to main tain tho prestlgo of tho United States, to fight Its battles and stand guard on many foreign shores. This Inlluonco Is not likely to bo lessoned with the pnsslng years. "Tho mariiicB havo landed and havo tho situntlon well in hand," will continue to bo the report heard from thorn. HIS WAY OF THINKING. "A thief is usually somothlng of a philoso pher." "How do you mako that out?" "Doesn't he tako an abstract vlw t things V StlNMrSOM Lesson (By K. O. SMMjUIIH. Director of Kvenlnu Pffiartinont, tlio Moody Illblo Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 18. THE GOOD SAMARITAN. T.DHSON' THXT-Lulto 10:23-37. GOLDDN TlCXT-'-Tlmu Hliult love thy neighbor ns thyself." Mark 12:31. Probably no other parable given by Jesus except posBlbly tho Prodigal Sou, has made such a deep Impres sion as this one. It has Inspired al truistic service, promoted tho Idea ol tho brotherhood of man, and aerved to crystnllzo Christian thinking and service. I. "What shall I do?" vv. L'5-29. (1) Tho first question. This lawyer In his test question implied that eter nal, life was dependent upon his works, a well nigh universal Jewish Idea. With a true teacher's skill, Jesus drew from his own knowledge of tho law an nnswer to his question, viz.: Hint, on tho ground of doing ho must love tho Father with nn undi vided heart; with nil his soul, tho seat of his emotions; with nil his strength energies; nnd with nil hla mind his Intellectual powers. The evidence of such a love is that ho must lovo his neighbor as himself. Summarized the Law. (2) Tho second question, (v. 29). Jesus had not said anything to this lawyer nbout belief, or faith, for liu wbb not yet ripe for that Idea. He had summarized the law nnd by this law Jesus must teach hlw Rom. 3:19. 20; Matt. 22:37-40. It is one thing to read and summarize the law, and quite another to rightly apply it. It Is qulto possible to bo ultra orthodox In our teaching and in our statements of belief, nnd yet to fall far short of doing. The force of this second question is then, "Who must I love?" Ho avoids asking, "Who can I lovo?" Tho question was not as to who will bo neighbor to me, but to whom shall I bo neighbor? In answer to this Jesus employs this wonderful parable. (Note: Explain the rinture of a para ble and tho Master's frequent uso thereof). II. "Go and do thou likewise." vv. 30-37. That this story Is not alono a parable but a literal experience la pretty generally believed. "The way of tho transgressor" Is a Jericho road, nnd tho traveler therein Is bound to bo "stripped."' if not always of his prosperity, then of his character, nnd will ultimately find himself "half dead." If left to himself he will sure ly die, Rom. 5:G; G:23. Jericho meanB "curse." Who then is the man I can neighbor? Any wretch that Is pass ing along tho Jerlco road. Remem ber thnt Jesus Is dealing' with the sec ond half of tho Bummnry of tho law. Three classes of men passed this man; (1) Tho Priest, of all" men the most likely to help that fallen one, created In tho Imago of God In whose worship ho led. It Is easy to find an excuso for this exhibition of heart lessness. The danger of robbers; of bolng suspected of complicity In tho crime; the duties of his Important of fice; tho danger of contamination; a work not suited to his position in life. Let us beware of too hastily judging the priest until we examlno ourselves. (2) Tho Levlte. Perhaps ho hod seen his superior in' tho temple wor ship; ho drew nearer than tho priest, perhaps for the purpose of investiga tion, but offers no remedy. (3) The Samaritan. This ostracized' man would havo been snubbed and cursed by the wounded mnn under any other circumstances. Ho therefore could certainly have been excused hnd ho followed tho example of Priest and Levlte. Ho is a typo of Christ dealing in grace with ono who had no claim upon him. Note tho steps : (a) "Ho Journeyed," aro we to be found visit ing the places of great need? (b) "Ho came where ho was," evidently not from idle curiosity, but to meet a case of need, (c) "Ho saw him." Too often our eyes aro blind to tho misery about us. (d) "Ho was moved with compassion." The compassion of JesuB was an active principle. Does misery move us to action? Does It send us to cases of need, or do wo wait for them to knock at our door? (e) "Ho bound up hla wounds." Not acting by proxy; not sending him to a public institution. Real charity is accompanied by warm, sympathetic, Christ-like, human hearts In action. (f) "Ilrought him to an inn and took care of him." Love Is Costly. It cost tho Samaritan much to act this way. Racial pride, aesthetic re pugnance, commercial obligations, perhaps fnmlly duties, to say nothing of the actual expenditures of tlmo and money. Hut lovo 1b a costly thing. Jesus himself fully portrays this pic ture, John 3:16. Tho road was away from God's city, Jerusalem. It is not so much tho doing as the motive that compelled tho doing. It was not duty but desire, compelling love, that Jesuo is exalting. Altruis tic service never saved any man, I. Cor. 13. On tho other hand, to make high sounding professions nnd not to give a tangible, material evidence which will affirm that profession, is to bound tho note of insincerity, Jas. 2:1G-18. Tho teaching of this 3tory 1b that the true and acceptablo motives for altrustlc, neighborly services, orig inate, in a lovo for God that embraces mnn'a threefold nature, body, mind and spirit. GAS.
