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

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

we don't all get time to come out to
Sunday school as we should, but I

if they remain faithful will all be
able to keep the bough of our church

his comrades shouted in accord with
keenest delight at the remembrance of
nailing live bodies of children to the
door of buildings and of cutting down
old men and women before their time.
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. OhI God of Heaven,
