Mj- Denr Mother: Received your
dear letter and was mire glad to henr
fm you. Those wiistlcts you made
for me arc just fine and I am so glad
to get them.
The Red Cross gave us all n sweat
er and a double blanket. Wo nlso
have our woolen clothing now. We
arrived at the camp last week and I
do not like this one As well as Camp
firccno, Charlotte, N. C, we had every
ting so nice tlarc and heic at Camp
JHls It is cold and damp, no floors in
Oil' tents and no electiic lights. While
v, iting this letter 1 am sitting on my
kink with a candle in a lard pail lid,
on my knee and writing on top of a
box lid, and to top it all off the candle
is trying its best to upset. This Camp
is located in the center of Long Island.
Wc went in under two rivers to get
here. We are attached to the 148th
Field Artillery now. Jim Hedge was
promoted to Sergeant since wc were
put in the truck company. I am still
on special duty as Artificer same as
before; they say I am known as one of
the best mechanics in the Wyo. Reg.

All I have to do is the mechanical
work. 1 have my first time yet to do
any kitchen work. Just as soon as
our trucks 'come I Bhall drive an

it pretty soft after all.
Tell Harry while at Camp Greene
I helped to blanket the boys, they were
tossed about 20 feet up but it seems
at least GO feet higher; It seemed that
high to mo when I took my flying trip.
Wc wore out playing like kids that
night, it was light as day and just
cool enough to be nice while in Char
lotte, the weather was like summer.
Wo had persimmons there too. You
had my sympathy while shivering in
Ncbr. as wc had summer days here
then, but after all, I would love to
come and eo you all before wo go
across the pond. I do not know just
how soon wo stall for France.
Tell sister I received that fruit cake
bIic sent. ltwas just fine, I opened
and carved it with my sword or bay
onet. I got the cake the day we left
Camp Greene fof Camp Mills, but
did not eat it on the way as the Red
Cross ludics fed us about all the
good things we could cat when ever

with good cigarettes. Wc had to turn
in some of our summer clothing, so
got a pail 'of warm water and eat on
the foot of my bed and washed them
out. I bet Harry would have laughed to
sec me washing. If he laughs too much
tell him I will meet him (if he comes
to France) at the boat with my truck
and escort him to the first line of
trenches, ha I ha!
On our way hero wc were turned
loose at Washington D. C. and bcliovc
me wc sure took in the town. I may
go to New York City tomorrow and
see the sights; we can go Saturday
noon and stay until Monday moining.
Our Camp Is 20 miles from there.
Oh, yes, you asked what wc had to
eat, the cats here are not so bad wc
get all we want, of course it isn't
fancy stuff, but it is wholesome. Wo
have pie about once a week and we
buy our cakes If wc want to.
John Mclnerncy sent me the Wll
sonvillc Review, I saw an udd in the
paper for ten carpenters at once;
seems to be plenty work there. I am
so glad to get tho Red Cloud papers
you sent as I like the news from home.
Now, mama, write real soon. There
is nothing so nice now as a letter from
home.

Christian Church Notes
The Christian church is a Divine
institution. Christ is its founder, head
and sovcrign. It has a Divine Builder,
a Divine Foundation,, a Divine Law, a
Divine Membership, and a Divine
Name, and includes all genuine dis
ciples of Christ. For centuries this
institution remained an undivided
Christian church. Scheming politic
ians and pagan leaders bccamcalarmed
at the rapid advancement of Christ
ianity in spite of persecution, began
at once to plot the overthrow and de
struction of Christian religion. Pagan
politicians called conventions andcoun
cils and by intrigue and coercion
forced upon the followers of Christ
creeds, rituals and forms calculated
to insult and divide the disciples of
Christ. Groups of Christian people
began to organize about some creed or
human doctrine and call themselves
by some divisive name. Sects, denom
inations sprang into existence, tho
dark ages followed, and hell for a
thousand years prlcvailed over man
kind. Multitudes of errors now taught
in the denominations came from pa
ganismwere forced upon the disci
ples of Christ to corrupt and divide
them. The sword fastened the creed
of St. Augustine upon the world. The
notion thdt men are bom in sin cam'd
from pagan theology. Infant baptism,
infant regeneration, originah sin or
inherited sin and the notion about
apostolic succession', episcopal author
ity and kindred eriors have served to
divide religion. In 1781, under Mr.
Anbury a pumber of these errors
came before the ministers for dis
cussion. Asbury assumed unscriptural
authoiity and as a result about twenty
of the most devout ministers that
had preached under Bishop Asbury
abandoned tho connection of Method
sm and returned to primitive Christ
'anity, and began to teach the doc
trines and practices of the New Testa
ment and designated . themselves
Christians. Christianity for more than
three centuries was practically united
on the Bible alone, then because of
pagan tyranny for many centuries
.vas divided and obscured, but about
1784 under the leadership of Thomas
3'Kelloy real New Testament Christ-
amty came to light in America.
Jhristianity free from human creeds
md titles came to America and, from
hat day to this, the Christian church
las been preaching simple Christian
ity without a sectarian spirit, urging
the union of all the disciples of Christ
in tho Biblo alone.
Hundreds of thousands, of people
have icturncd to this apostolic move
ment. Hundreds of ministers are now
preaching Christianity. They refuse
:o link themselves with any division,
and are willing to bo known as Cluist
iims only that they magnify
Christ. The Christian church of Red
Cloud is a part of this great Iffovc
ment and is doing its best to promote
Christianity apait from sect, creed,
patty and hcicsy. Every man that
lifts up his voice against this lefor-
niation "Unck to Christ and the
Bible" is blind and. I fear, in dancer
of the judgment. We stand for tho
doctrines, practices, names, spirit and
purpose for which tho apostles gavo
their lives. This generates tho red
blood of courage and links destiny to
God. All Christian people willing to
abandon human leadership and not
"add to or take away from the Woul
of God" and follow the leadership of
Christ only are cordially invited to
cooperate with this movement and
have part in this groat reformation.
In Christ,
J. L. Beebe.

"Well, here we are 1" exclaimed Bll

,11ns. "Very glad to see you, Mr. Colllna,"
said Uncle Dan with a smile.
"Aw," said lllllle, "Just call him
Jlminlc. That's the only namo ho
knows, lie's the pitcher of our base
ball nine, and he's some pitcher, too.
Just feel of his arm."
"Well," siild Undo Dan, feeling,
"That's a mighty good arm I"
"Now, boys," said Undo Dan, "what
do you 'want to talk about?"
"Well," said Jlmmlo, "I was down to
Galcsburg a few months ago when the
boys came homo from the Mexican
bordor. They looked fine. Everybody
was surprised to sec how straight they
stood and how manly they were. The
boys seemed proud to wear the uni
form. I tell you their muscles were as
bard as nulls. I heard Banker Haskett
say that the training and discipline
tho boys had had was exactly what
every boy In the country ought to
have, and that now these boys could
get a bettor Job at higher pay than
they could have had before. Do you
think that's so, Undo Dan?"
Uncle Dan replied: "I have a
friend who employs hundreds of young
men. He always gives boys having
hud military training the preference;
he says It pays to do so. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without
training. He said from his experience
he believed that six or eight months
of intensive military training would
add at least 20 per cent to a man's
as.

"Blllle, If you will go up to my room
and bring my emull handbag, I will
let you see two photographs of the
same young man, showing what only
Ave months of Intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him."
The bug was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: "Well,
here they nre. They tell their own
story und It Is a mighty Interesting
one. Tho young mun, before tralulng,

but little of the world. There was
very little In bis surroundings to bring

when he Joined tho army. This may
bo one of tho extreme enscs," said
Undo Dun. "I can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one tbltur will
do tho young men of tills nation so
much good In so short a time us a few
months of intensive mllltnry training.
It llts n man to fight his own lifo bat
tles In the business world as well as
to defend his country ond its flag.
"Nearly cvery civilized country gives
Its boys mllltury training. It Is com
pulsory. It lsbnscd upon the fact that
It is tho duty of everyone to help de
fend his country; and as wnr Is now
carried on, no ouo enn do much unless
liu Is trulned. Also, tho records show
that the killed aud wounded among
untrained troops is nearly three times
as great as It Is with well-trained men
who kuow how to light and, how to
protect themselves. By this plan a
tuition has trained men to defend her
and tho individual Is a stronger and
letter mnn for tho training.
"If the Chamberlain Bill for Mili
tary Training 13 passed by congress,
is it ought to be, tho same thing would
io done for millions of other young
men throughout tho land. Everybody
ought to demand of his congressman
nnd senators the passage of this
bill,"
