to reilize that it had its heginiiiiii.' at

object of which primarily, was to
meet on Sabbath evenings to read the
scriptures and secular literature, on
account of which this club was refer
red to by the people of the time in
opprobious epithets as "Bible Moths"
and Methodists.
It sopiiis Hint here In Knclaml. it is
the middle and working classes, and
more the working class of people, who
are Methodists, and it may be inter
esting to know that an opinion is cur
rent here, that as a result of the
war,-there will be a union of the
Kpiscopal and Methodist churches
"Wesleyans." as they are referred to
here. I atu of the opinion that this
union of the two churches will not
lake place In America.
I am tlad that I did search out
Central Hall church and attend ser
vice. We spoke to the pastor after
wards, and he seemed so pleased. His
text was, "And they look knowledge
of Peter and John, and found that
I hey had been with Jesus." In ex
plaining the ineanii'g of "look knowl

Americans very delightfully express
it, to "size up" people. I do wish
you both could have been with me,

you were by my side. I realized, l:nw-e'-er,

Sunday, Dec. 15. On awaking, I
almost had to pinch mself in order
to realize that I am liniiir; the priv
ilege of living for a few days in the
most historic spoi of the entire
world today, toward which the eyes of
the world are straining, and ears of
the world listening, to see and hear
the terms of peace which will be
drawn up, written, signed and sealed,
here in the Palace, which will be the
greatest event of all time, and make
the world a world of Democracy and
forever fetter Prussian autocracy. I
ihi:ik tli.it we are most fortunate to
be here, and I am much happier to
lie here than over in Paris, for I do
not like a big city with its never
ending bung and rattle of loaded
trucks, and the black and while of the
smoke and s'eam of its industries,
the jams and the crowds, but such as
this is charming quiet and beauti
ful beyond description. We all had
to assemble at Hotel Reservoirs at
!' : 4 5 to have a short personal inter
view each, witli Mrs. Meade. She is
the lady who interviewed Annie and
1 in New York, and she remembered
me, saying that the Southern girls
might be given an opportunity to be
with the 3'th Division, if they re
main here. That would be great, and
if we make good with them, and do
our best work, then we will run the
chance of getting some good assign
ment later. I didn't get my inter
view until about 2:30. as it Was done
