So I take the liberty to cross the thresh old and tell you what we are doing down here along the trail of Hyder Mbunltam. .What I you thot we were dead?- No, we are all treading' the traH of ltfe. ; We are harvesting our crops, digging potatoes and sending them out as, well as our sons to help win the war, and sowing wheat. We are trying to get a firm footing on the straight and narrow way of econ omy. We are preaching the gospel of the "clean plate" as well as prac ticing it. We are doing our bit, ..Ever and anon some of us get time to visit and go to town on busi ness., But I shall be obliged to admit we don't all get time to come out to Sunday school as we should, but I think there are a faithful few who if they remain faithful will all be able to keep the bough of our church strong enough to defy ; the winter blasts ' .

But "vengeance is mine saith the Lord," and surely sometime, some where the German will meet his pun ishment given in full measure. There is not a true blue American who reads Dr. Hillis' "Picture of Ger. many's atrocities" in Nov. 4 issue of the Asheville Times without their blood being chilled at the deviltry and the audacity of Geramny, the cold hearted brutality practiced on their victims, and remain unconvinced that we cannot stand and look on with cold indifference, without a heart beat of sympathy at the lamb being torn by the wolf. We cannot hear the pitiful bleating almost drowned by the savage howl of the enemy without, giving aid to the lamb and attempting to slay the gnashing beast, It is better that we go now and give a checking blow to German mili tarism near - their own country than have them here to -fight alone. Their very bones would be an insult , to American soil bones that have en cased souls that dared to defy God and "offend His little ones." , They have already pictured the beloved United States with the blood clotted name of "Germania" written across its verdant valley and standing- "tip toe on the- mountain crest" The war whoop of the Indian has not yet died away among the rocks and and it will never do to hear the sav age yell of the Hun echoeing be hind the Redman's cry. We are sending our youth to be sacrificed on the altar of "No Man's Land" for the right and for the hope of a pure, a clean government to be glaned from the melting pot into which the. flower of American man hood withered.

Shall we let the rose of Amer ica be worm eaten with Kaiserism the steps, toward world democracy be. torn dowa? i Oh! we shall bleed. We shall offer up the last drop tho bitter it may be, but we must WIN. Who can bear to see young, beautiful America trampled on by.. Withelm's hoof for hoof it is only humans have feet.
