The next morning the draft was In

assigned to different companies. The

One morning we were Informed that
we were going up the line, and our
march began.
It took us three days to reach re
serve billets each day's march bring
ing the sound of the guns nearer and
nearer. At night, way off In the dis
tance we could see their flashes, which
lighted up the sky with red glare.
Against the horlion we could nee

On the afternoon of the third day's

and I gazed In awe. The airplane wits

little puffs of white smoke were burst
ing all around It. These puffs appeared
like tiny balls of cotton while after
each burst could be heard a dull
"plop." The sergeant of my platoon
Informed us that It was a German air
plane and I wondered how he could tell
from such a distance because the plane
seemed like a little black speck In the
sky. I expressed my doubt as to
whether It was English, French or Ger
man. With a look of contempt he fur
ther Informed us that the allied anti
aircraft shells when exploding emitted
white smoke while the German shell
gave forth black smoke, and, as he ex
pressed It, "It must be an Atletnand be

I know our batteries are not off their

there down, everything was missing. I !
thought I should die with fright.
After awhile, we reformed lata col- :

About five that Bight, we reached the j

first sight of the awful destruction
caused by German Kultur.

came to the heart of the village, and
took up quarters la ahellproof cellars
(shellproof until bit by a shell). Sheila
were constantly whistling over the vll- ,

Next evening, we took over our sec
tor of the line. In single file we wend- j
ed our way through a tlgxag com. :
raunlcstloa trench, slg Inches deep
with mud. This trench was called :
"Whisky street." On our way up to j
the front line an occasional flare of
bursting shrapnel would light up the
sky and we could hear the fragment! :
slapping the ground above us on our j
right and left. Then a Frlta would
traverse back aaJ forth with bis "tyVe-
writer" or machine gun. The bullets
made a sharp riucklng noise overhead.
The boy In front of me named Pren

piece of shell had gone through hi
shrapnel-proof helmet. I felt sick and

and afraid. All orders were given In
whispers. The company we relieved
filed past us and disappeared into tha
blackness of the communication trench
leading to the rear. As they passed us,
they whispered, "The best o" luck
mate."
I sat on the fire step of the trench
with the rest of the men. In each
traverse two of the older men had been
put on guard with their heads sticking
over the top, and with their eye try
ing to pierce the blackness In "No
Man' Land." In this trench there
were only two dugouts, and these were
used by Lewi and Vlckers machine
gunners, so It wo the fire step for
ours. Pretty soon It started to rain.
We put on our "macks," but they were
not much protection. The rain trickled
down our backs, and It waa not long
before we were wet and cold. How 1
passed that night I will never know,
but without any unusual occurrence,
dawn arrived.
The word "stand down" was passed
along the line, and the sentries got
down off the fir step. Pretty soon tha
rum Issue came along, and It waa a
Godsend. It wanned our chilled bodlea
and put new life Into as. Then from
the communication trenches cam

and drank the hot tea without taking

growing hatred trf the Pharisees, led j

the disciple of .Jesus ate without
washing their hands. We must not un
derstand this to mean ao much the re

I certain traditions to which the Jew
: adhered tenaciously, Thua exempli
j fled we can see that their Ideas of
, man's relation to liod were largely a
, mutter of external ceremony. Purity
to them was an outward mutter largely
governed by the traditions of men. (.
4).
II. Th Answer (v. 6-13). The an
swer of Jesus reveals the very oppo
site Ideal. He begin by calling the
I Pharisees hypocrite, A hypocrite Is n
' play actor ine who hides behind a
: mask. Applying the prophecy of
Isaiah. Jesus plainly tells the Pharisee
j that they are hiding their true charac
j ter behind the musk of ceremonial
! cleansing. Such play acting Is but a
poor liullntlon of the reul heart con
dition demiimled of tiod. (Psa. M:l")-
Thelr heart were far from God.
though with their lips they professed
to serve lilin. The love we express to
God consist not In ritualistic worship,
but In doing hi will from the heart.
Ill, The Application, (v. 112.1).
Jesus takes advantage uf this discus
sion, anil, turning to the multitude, up
on whom the Pharisees would bind a
grievous burden of ceremonialism and
falsehood (Mutt. 23:4), wiirn them
that It I not so much that which en
ters Into a man that defiles him, a
that which Issues from hliu (v. IS). It
seems quite natural thnt In their per
plexity the disciple should ask Jesu
what he meant by that. In bis reply
! vv- "--'"' Jv "Imw" Ter rl"' !
i Hint "the Issue of life" (Prof. 4:3). I
reveal the corruption which Is wilhiu.
(See Matt. 12:31. &; Gen. 6:5; James
3:10-12). If the heart be not cleansed,
what will It avail If we wash the j
hands? Whut then Is the application
for this present day! Clearly we are
taught the (lunger of Up service with
out a change of heart. Substituting
good for the best Is sin. Form snd
ceremonies are good and bar their
place ; they are significant for they are
Important teaching factors; but they
must not be substituted for a pur
npBrt- We must beware lest w hide
! behind such a mask.
j There I here also plain teaching as
to Jesu' estimate of the Pentateuch
and Inferentlally of (he prophecy of
Isaiah. He specifically call It "tho
Word of God." Surely we can accept
hi estimate a contrasted with th
tradition of th elder or th "con
sensu of modem thought,"
! Leas talk and mors walk,
I Ia wishing snd mors doing,
Leas preaching and mora practicing,
j Lass organisation and more of th spirit
j Finally, we have two Illustrations
; as to how Jesus sets men free, (a)
j Jesus' silence appear to deepen faith
' In the pleading Syrophenlclan woman
! (v. 24 30).
(b) We have the cure of the deaf
and the numb man, (vv. 31-37); In
stantaneous healing, showing divine
power,
Jesus was setting tils people free
from their bodily Infirmities and at
the snme time delivering them from
their lns and Imperfections nnd bring
ing them Into bis spiritual Kingdom.
This he I "till doing.
Fullness of Life.
Christ came Into the world thnt we
might have life and have It more abun
dantly. The cramped, starred, half-developed
lives that ao many ar lead
ing are not In accordance with God'
plans. The plant that grows In th
shade, straggling and pale. Its blos
soms blighted before they unfold, la
the type of many a one to whom God
Is ready to give life In Ita fullnesa.
Do not lie -titlsfled with mere exist
ence. Reach down for the deep things
of experience, and up for those which
ar high. Sea that your life It full,
free and good, a God meant It to be.
