In the world new.
It Is a new Mud of story in this new
hliitt of times nations beiofl of husti
of their join lis, thousands of the
maimed slovvly returning to their own
countries, lleie, in Washington, at
Wnltor Keetl hospital under Hie com
mand of Col. 1j. It. .Selirelner and Ida
I stuff, our own story Is brought home
In u way that Is u threefold miracle
to those who are watching the "re-
4 milking of some crliiplcd or disabled
hoy. Granted, It Is a treat many crippled young
men to see at one time, there at Walter Heed; a
tragedy of war to make the siiuple.it soul bewil
dered. Hut look again, and again week by week,
or month by month then oti see the beginning
of this mliaele of remaking which Is being
wrought there by the doctors, surgeons, educatois
and psjchologlsts of the medical department of
our nrmy. Indeed, sometimes tt Is a miracle of
"life more abundant" growing out of seeming
helplessness.
This may be an Illustration of It, and how It Is
threefold. Here Is a boy who went oveiseas as
one of our defenders. He could not read or write,
but he could do the things that soldiers" do, and
endure the things that soldiers endure. He could
count off the seconds before the order came to
charge u German trench, and then when the
order came he could go over the top, and he did
for all of us hero at home; and he was struck
by one of the shells that weie blasting at hlin as
ho chnrged, and he fell.
When the stretcher-bearers found him they
saw that his was an amputation wise. Perhaps
you have seen In the movies, prepared by tb
medical department of the urinj, how these
stretcher-bearers, privates In the medical corps,
ninko the skillful tourniquet, the emergency splint
of rillo and grass for such a boy as this one, how
they rush him to the neurest diessing station,
and how he Is taken hack to his Held ami then
base hospital. If you have not, undoubtedly you
will soon have the opportunity, for the film will
be sent broadcast.
Thero Is another Mini that shows part of the
threefold miracle for the returned men nt Walter
Iteed. but only pint: (1) the film can show you
how such n boy can make one arm or one leg do
the work of two; C-) It lllustiatcs graphically how
he Is trained to a more Interesting and well-paid
trade than he had before the war, and his ampu
tationbut (."), the 111 in alone, of course, cannot
show you the "life more abundant" which he feels
coming through the training of his mind, as ho
learns to read and write and life reveals new
wonders and new opportunities.
MaJ. IJ. T. Unldwlu, S. C, U. S.A.. with Ills assist
ants, has provided opportunities of advancement
for all of these men. While a few woids might
explain In general what it Is that works this mir
acle of what the surgeons call "reconstruction,"
it has taken the evolution of nil the centuries to
develop the Knowledge which these surgeons and
psychologists now possess.
The process of reconstruction begins with the
distinctly physical treatment, medical or surgical,
massage, and the various kinds of physio therapy.
This Is followed or carried on In conjunction with
that occupational reconstruction which develops
new muscular control and power In the partially
paralyzed limb or In the stump, while It Is at the
same time teaching a new trade or occupation
through that very exercise; and In the third place
It is, simultaneously, clenilng and training the
mind.
It is a process slow, patient, full of the wonder
of rebirth. There Is one workshop there at Walter
Iteed where the once almost helpless lingers of
one returned boy have been forming, very gradual
ly, a silver necklace of great beauty ihe hands
and tho mind of that boy becoming the hands nnd
the mind of nn artist as he lias worked. Curious,
that through being Injured thero should come a
life moro Interesting, more significant, more crea
tive. On the ten-ncre fnrm and In the seven modern
greenhouses at Walter Iteed cruelly crippled men
uro finding ilfo Immeasurably enhanced through
their work with glowing things. Sometimes men
who could call only u few flowers by nnmo seo in
them now their loved vocation for the future.
By every means known to modern science the
minds of thoso others who have been clouded by
shock or wound nro helped to find themselves
again, to take hold of the opportunities waiting
for them there; thero is scarcely n man so dis
abled that there Is not watting for him through
theso hospital opportunities n definite advance
ment In life If only his family, the public, the
country nt Inrgo will understand.
l.ot tho following list of subjects nnd occupa
tions which nro being taught under tho administra
tion of Major Baldwin show how definitely this
statement Is true. Then lot us go with theso
pome crippled boys to tho theater and seo a
strange sight, remembering that theso nn oppor
tunities that they carry In their minds:

A short time ago the American Red Cross,
which is In chnrge of the recreational features of
the hospital, arranged for a special performance
of "Attn Boy," the uproariously funny musical
show acted and produced by tho soldiers of Camp
Molgs. Ono may look twlco at this contrnst:
The stage of n Washington theater presents n
solid phalanx of young soldiers, ranger! row upon
row from floor to top, ready for the opening
chorus; all In tho very pink of condition lithe,
musculnr, eager for tho action which sudden
pence (which of course thev i bought premature,
since they wouldn't get over I) denied them. But
the Jolly chorus swings out with n zip, round and
full and stirring.
The audience across the footlights Is made np
also, row upon row of crippled and disabled men,
who have had the great adventure, and como
home with bodies which may seem at first to bo
broken; some of them with minds which at first
may seem dulled and theso are Just as young In
years as those across the footlights.
Yet, looking twice, one sees them, on both sides,
youth triumphant tho ono side hinging Joyfully
Its sparkling nonsense, the other side the ono
that has gone through lire roaring with laughler,
the one-armed men applauding Ingeniously with
their programs on the arms of their chairs. They
howl at the awkward-squad Jokes, and nil of
hlnck-fnced Capt. Frank Tlnnoy's Jokes, nnd the
"God save the weasel and pop goes the queen"
Joke, nnd most of all at that song which well de
serves to ho Immortal, of father father who
thinks wnr such a fine thing for u young man,
but has for himself a alet, and now Is In tho pro
posed last draft. The house rocks with tho chorus
singing of his plight:
". . . Father will bo with us boon,
He will bo forty In Juno . . ."
That is, almost nil nro Inughlng the effects of
gas nnd shell aro not In nil cases entirely cleared
away. Clenoyg them away Is what tho doctor
psychologists are doing at Walter Heed. For, oh,
this story does not underrate tho suffering. Fumes
of ether as ono passes the operating room; the
man with tho double amputation still white of
face; the first steps on tho artificial legs theso
things nro hard nnd sharp reality.

Tho medical depart
ment of the army, as It
works through Walter Iteed, Is and will lie bound
up with tho hopes of thousands of men and their
families. Working with these army doctors and
surgeons Is the American Bed Cioss. helping to
complete the bridge between the families and the
men during their separation, through Iti communi
cation service. Its unions hospital services, and In
all kinds of ways thiotigh Its homo service, from
buying buttons or "pricing" n certain kind of
splial puttees on some boy's request.'to arranging
for his wnr risk Insurance, or perhaps hospital
treatment for some member of n man's family In
a far-away town.
In tho convalescent house there Is the great
open fireplace, with its crackling lire, books, llow
crs, games, music. Every week one of the Wash
ington theaters semis out several of Its acts.
After classes tho men pour In, some of those who
have lain so helpless weeks before, now In
wheeled chairs engrossed In some handwork, yet
eager for the music and the fun. Others como to
sny "good-by" before the visit home. You would
not guess thnt this boy had ever lost a leg, or
jhnt mi artificial arm could become so dexterous
ns some you see here.
A leaf from tho Bed Cross entertainment book
is interesting. These events, planned from tho
outside, are arranged through application to the
recrentionnl staff of the Bed Cross at tho post.
Hero are characteristic items: Seventy boys to
Keith's thenter and supper; one hundred boys to
Mount Vernon; three boys to birthday pnrty for
Sergeant ; forty-five on sight-seeing bus tour,
and so on nnd on.
"Why, sergeant, where Is your now leg I
thought you were so proud of?" one of tho work
ers calls to n boy on a crutch. "I lonned It to
Jim. Ho had n, pass to go to town," ho answers.
A boy, wearing carefully wrapped puttees,
comes ulong In a wheeled chair. "Did you find
out about those other puts?" he asks "tho Bed
Cross lady." "Yes, and there Is only ono pair in
town nnd they cost twelve- dollars." "I guess
we'll have to go without," he says; and there fol
lows an Interested conversation about u pnekugo
to bo addressed to n girl back home.
A young boy who had lost one leg nnd ono foot
was having attached for the first time tho nrti
lkial leg on which, with a crutch, he soon Was
going to try to walk. To support himself ho had
one arm around his nrmy surgeon, the other
around the Bed Cross man. He wnV milking great
bravado, though his face was white. When the
apparatus was attached he nsked to sit down.
Tho surgeon and the Bed Cross man helped hlin
into n chnir. With a long sigh ho settled tho
"new" leg firmly on tho floor and then flung what
was left of tho other leg over It. Though tho
beads of swent were still on ids face ho looked up
pertly with his head cocked. "Gee!" ho said, "If
you hadn't crossed your legs for eleven months
you'd know how I feel."
Theso men aro of those who have given "their
breasts n bulwark and their blood a moat." They
have given too great n thing to need any kind of
sympathy except tho supreme ono of understand
ing. The medical department of the army and
the Bed Cross make a cycle of effort social,
human, physical, mental. In this work of recon
struction there may bo found, literally, life more
abundant. As these men leave hospital nnd uni
form, nnd como bnck to the famlllnrt-strange civil
Ian world, tho public will take up Its part; and
each man will be, If be utilizes tho opportunities
open to him, nnd society does r.o. exploit him, an
independent nsset in plnco of n dependent or n
charity liability.
How Could It Be?
Liitemau wanted to buy a clock that is, a re
liable clock and ho mado tho shopmun show him

"Now, sir," buid the salesman, "tbia clock will

"Why, how cun that bo?" ho nsked. "I cun

I. Lusting for the Flesh Pots of
Egypt (ICi:I.;i().
1 .Murmuring against Moses and
Aaron (vv. Ml).
As they Journeyed from l'.llm Into
the gicat wilderness they became con
scious of tbii scat city of some of the
things they had enjojed even In Egyp
tian shtverv. Only a few days ago
they were singing find's praises for
I heir womb ous deliverance at the Bed
Sen (t'li. 1."). Now at the beginning
of their pilwitlon they are murmur
ing. They utterly lack spiritual per
ception. They were a free people on
the way to their own laud. What did
It matter, with such a prospect, though
they were a bit hungry?
This complaining showed it base In
gratitude ami was most dishonoring to
(iod. Uuthaukfulness Is a sign of
heart corruption (Bom. 1:1M).
'-. (Jod's answer to their niiirmur
Ings (vv. -1-12).
(1). He promised to rain bread from
heaven (vv. 4, f). Ills purpose In this
was to teach them thnt "man doth not
lle by bread alone, but by every word
that proeeedcth out of the mouth of
the Lord." (Dent. 8:Jl). The manna
was given by f!od, but the people must
gather It. (1!) He promised to give
them a vision of his glory (vv. fl-10).
This served ns a warning and an en
couragement. Despite their murmur
lugs against hlin he Invites them to
come near unto hlin. Wonderful grace
that sinful, ungrateful men should be
permitted to come near to (Jodl CD
.Flesh nnd bread promised (vv. 11, 11!).
Ood answered the cravings of the
people by giving them quails and man
na to eat. Howgracious Is our (iod I
II. Quails and Manna Given (l(l:KI-ir).
At the appointed time Ood gave the
Israelites the promised food. He first
allowed them to feel their need, to
show that man's highest need Is to be
lieve God and rely upon him for all
needs (Dent. 8:2, .1; Matt. 4:.'l, 4). He
then displayed bis glory, showing that
be was able and willing to supply their
need If they would obey him.
1. In the evening the quails came
up. (v. 1).
Since they desired flesh he guvo
them llesh to eat. This Is mi example
of the patience and long-suffering of
Ood. How bo enters to the whims of
his vacillating children
2. In the morning God gave tho
manna (vv. 14, Ifi). s
The Israelites did not know what It
was. They exclaimed: "What is it?"
Moses told them it was tho bread
which the Lord hud given them to cat.
III. The Responsibilities of the Is
raelites (iO:io::n).
1. They must gather a certain ration
dally (v. 10 cf v. 4).
This was to test their faith. They
must look to him for their dally bread
(Matt. 0:11).
2. Every man wns to gather for him
self (v. 10 cf v. 20).
The manna typified Christ (John 0:
.13, T ). As each man was to gather
for himself bo each ono must appro
priate Christ for himself.
ii. The manna must tie gathered
fresh every morning (v. 21).
This wns to bo done enrly, before
tho sun wan up. Christ, our mniina,
should be taken each day, and the ilrst
thing In the day (John 0: r7).
4. They must not gather In excess of
one day's supply (vv. 18, 20).
That which was in excess of tho
day's supply became corrupt. Chris
tians should make use of the gifts be
stowed by God. (Jod's graces are only
good when put to use.
5. The manna must be eaten to pre
serve life.
They were in the wilderness, so
could only live by eating of the food
which God gnve. In tho wilderness
of this world only those who feed
upon Christ, the true mnnmi, luivo
eternnl life (John 0:r0, 51).
0. Due consideration should bo given
to tho Sabbath day (vv. 22-.11). A
double portion was to bo gathered the
day before.
IV. Manna Kept as a Memorial (10:
.12-.10).
This was to bo kept ns a reminder of
God's favor in supplying them with
breud in tho wilderness for forty years.
