HAVE ANIMUS SOULS?
Is the Life In Animals Merely
Passing Dream, or Does It Ex
press Us Mumble Way the
Promise ol Lil liter nal.
The Washington Times discusses
interestingly the question "Have
animals souls?" and concludes ils
editorial Willi these thoughts :
"What is the nature of the spir
it that directs our humble animal
broihers and sisters ? They covet
the earth as long as we let them,
give place to us as the human race
increases, and. without any
thought of organized resistance,
die that we may live.
"Have these animals souls?
"You have seen the bird griev
ing over the destruction of its nest.
"You have studied the pathetic
eyes of the lost dog, and the sad
submission of the tired, beaten
horse.
"Is there not soul in those strick
e 1 creatures and spiritual feeling
deeper than that displayed by
many men ?
"First came all animal life, as
we know it, and then came man.
"Science and religion agree on
this point at least.
"All owe their being to the same
eternal force. On this point again
religion and science agree.
"Is the life in animals merely a
passing dream, or does it express
in its humble way the promise of
life eternal?
'In Italy a scientific villain ex
perimented on a dog to ascertain
the power of maternal affection.
"The dog was most cruelly tor
tured. Its new-born puppy was
beside it. Its neryes were racked,
its spine injured, but whenever
permitted to do so the poor tor
tured animal turned its head to
ward its whining child and licked
it affectionately.
'Until it died there was nothing
that could overcome maternal love
in the heart of that poor dumb
mother.
"Is there not soul in such love
as that?"
OUR AIM.
That The World May Be Made
Sale lor Democracy.
The I'nited States came into
the war, not for a Hellish reason
or to attain a material end, but
to defend the principles of gov
ernment and of civilization
that we believe essential to
progress and to justico. With
all our faults, we are at bottom
an idealistic people, and it
would bo impossible to drag us
into a great war in which we
did not see a genuinely
ideal purpose. It is due our
President to Bay that he has
clearly understood the nature
of the struggle in which we are
engaged, and the speeches in
which he has set forth our own
cause and exposed the duplicity
of our enemy have been pec-
haps the greatest single influ
ence in maintaining our unity
and confidence. We feel, too,
that he is pursuing steadily and
skillfully a political course that
he has carefully planned to at
tain a Bpecilic purpose. We
are lighting to win the war.but
when it is won we shall not be
without a definite and honoru
hie peace policy. Our sacri
tices and our sufferings are all
directed toward achieving aims
that every American must ap
prove the final discomfiture of
the imperialistic spirit, the es
tublishineut tif justice than of
force us the arbiter between na
tions, the right of every nation,
whether small or great, to such
institutions and such a degree
of politicul independence us it
desires, Wc light, iu the Pres
ident'K own memorable words,
tlml the world may lie made
uf for democracy.

THE Y, M
In the camps around our country, and in the countries far away,
There's a lot of wooden houses that are marked Y. M. C. A.
And some are painted yellow and some are brown and green,
Now, say, who owns these houses and what do the letters mean?
"They mean a bit of comfort and they mean a place of rest
Where every tired soldier boy is welcome as a guest;
They mean a bit of friendly talk, some music and some jokes,
And some quiet little corners for writing to your folks.
"They mean a bit of human love amid the storm of war,
They mean the word of healing for spirits wounded sore;
They mean a simple message from God's own holy word,
And they mean the thought of homeland
Where the sweet old hymns are heard.
"You ask who owns these houses ? I think I know his name
You call Him Saviour, Master, Lord the meaning's just the same;
'Tis the One who gave Himself for us, the leader of our life,
We pray He'll lead and keep our boys in peril as in strife.
"Oh keep them strong and steady, and keep them clean and true,
Help them to battle for the right and put the victory thru.
Be Thou their shield and buckler, but if one is stricken down,
Oh, Captain of Salvation, give him the Heavenly Crown."
Henry Van Dyke.
TOE BEST
Would you win eternal fame
And immortalize your name?
Do you covet praise and pelf and self-esteem?
Then give your utmost best
And do it with a est
To the job that's your's, however small it seems,
And when you've set your nuuk on high, pursue it;
For it's not the thing you do, hut how you doit.
Would you find the pot of gold
With its blessings manilold,
But with it have your conscience free from blight?
Then cut your wants in half,
Make thrift your daily staff,
And keep your credit and your honor bright,
And when the tempter otters graft, forsake it;
l-'or it's not how much you make, but how you make it.
Would you build your monument
lire your busy life be spent;
Or would you the applause of men command?
Then purge your soul of greed,
Hear every call of need
And scatter blessings with an open hand.
If money easy comes, do not abuse it,
For it's not how much you save, but how did you use it.

following story the other day:
"Coining home recently from
Oklahoma 1 heard a bit of dar

and Oklahoma has a "Jim

Kentucky. However, there had
been such a demand fur troop
coaches that our train had only
the old-fashioned cars without
any compartments. One of a
group of negroes who had seg
regated themselves in one end
of the coach gravely took
piece of twine out of his pock

WRONG IN THINKING
LAST WAR WAS FOUGHT.
England Had That Idea 102 Years
Ago, Alter Downfall ol Napole
on Bonaparte.
"The last great war lias been
fought, and the nations may now
look forward to uninterrupted
peace." This was the hope and
belief proclaimed from many pul
pits in lingland 102 years ago,
when Great Britain, by royal proc
lamation, celebrated a general
thanksgiving day, following the
end of the Napoleonic wars.
After the smoke of Waterloo
rolled hack it revealed a continent
given over to desolation. Although
lingiand had suffered less than the
other nations involved in the long
struggle, she had by no means es
caped unscatched. For 21) years
Great Britain had supplied the fi
nancial sinews of war for her allies,
in addition to active participation in
battles on land and sea. When the
F.nglish people were called upon
to give thanks for peace they were
scarcely in a thankful mood.
A national debt of $4,000,000,-
000 necessitated taxation so heavy
as to cause general distress. Most
obnoxious of all was the tax on
the importation of grain, which
rendered foodstuffs so high in
price that hundreds of thousands
of people were constantly on the
verge of starvation. All over the
country factories and mills ceased
operations and armies of workmen
were thrown out of employment
which added to the general dis
tress. It was not until the close of 1 8 1 6
that the clouds of financial and in
dustrial depression began to lift,
and with increasing prosperity the
extreme radicals lost their influ
ence. Uxchange.
