IIT Fred,
It seems that I have waited
quite a while before dropping |
you a line or two. Rut I have j
been pretty busy since 1 got back
to this Yankee land. You see l am
not with my old outfit any more. I
was transferred out into station
force. I don’t know how long t
will be here in R. I. but 1 hope to
be here until spring anyway, as
that would be a good time to conn
home on leave. If I would ua\ c
remained with the 29th 1 would
be on my way sometime this
v. eek for the west coast., and I \
have a good idea where .bey aie I
going after they get to Camp j
larks.
Fred, I guess you know tb < j
without me saying it, but Die j
Eagle reads just as good up heic
as it did overseas, and I look for
ward every v«ek for my cony.
Well Fred, as time is short 1 will
close for now, and hope the Eagle
continues in future as it has in tlm
Always a friend,

Mr. and Mrs. Sneed of Crouse
have received the following letter
from their son.
Germany
My Dear Mother and Dad,
It makes me feel good to know
that I can sit down and write
you a few lines today. 1 pray
that this letter will find both of
you in the hest of health. For
myself I am feeling fine, only a
little tired. But I still have plenty
of faith. That is what it takes in
this horrible life we are living.
I went to church services today
to beat it all the Germans started
to shell us in the middle of the
sermon. We had to fall on the
floor, till it was over. Then the
preacher carried on. Thank God
not a man was hurt. We have a
wonderful preacher.
The people in the States seem
to think the war is over. 1 will
tell you this for the truth, tier
many is the sixth country I have
been fighting in. W’e are doing

the hardest fighting we ever did.
i have been fighting the Germans
long enough to know what fight
ing is. Especially in their home
land. Every move you make is
dangerous. We have no help from
no one.
I just read it. the paper that
some one had wrote, wondering
if the boys over seas were home
sick, that sure did burn me up.
\\ ho wouldn't be homesick after
fighting at the front for two
years.
\\ e eat, sleep, tight in the rain
and mud, we don t know what a
good bed is. i thank ciod that he
iius been with me aiiu kept mein
good health.
Mother, l know that you are
expecting me home for Christmas.
Cod bless jour soul, 1 hate to
say anything to make you feel
bad. l/en’l expect me until after
the war. If it is the Lord's will,
for he is the one that makes the
preparations that a man has to
do. •
While lighting in the battlefield
I nect r worry about myself. Von
and Dad are my greatest won.
and what I am fighting for 1 hau
to see my home go through the
same thing that is going on here,
it is tenible. 1 would never start
to tell yon about it. It might he a
wrong thing to say, but I don’t
have any mercy for this country
we are fighting in. What hurts me
so bad is the price we are paying
m nice young men, to conquer
the devil. 1 see it every day with
my own eyes. If the people in the
states only knew what it costs to
fight a war, the suffering and ex
posure of young men, they would
get down on their knees and pray
more to help us boys to light this
horrible war.
Mother, I'm sure your prayers
have been answered, my consci
ence tells me that every day. It
is hard for a soldier to live the
right kind of life on the road we
are traveling. We pray and do the
best we van.
1 had a new Bible today from
the preacher. But 1 still carry
the one you gave me I! 1-2 years
ago. Hoping that I may carry it
home before long.
How do you like your new home
these days? 1 guess I will have a
lot of new things to see when 1
get home.
1 don’t have much more to say,
so you keep praying and smiling.
Hoping to be home with you be
fore long with a world of love.
Your son,

Lesson for December 10: Gen.
1:27, 28; 2:18; Matthew 19:4-6;
Golen Text: John 15:17.
II Timothy 1:3-6.
Luke 10:38-42; Ephesians 6:1-4;
In Genesis we learn that mar
riage is ordained of God—certain
ly it is necessary to the ongoing
of the race, and it brings to man
and woman the finest blessings
earth can give and opens to them
the obligation and the opportunity
to live for good in their children.
From Jesus we learn that mar
riage is for life and the home to
be permanent. “What therefore
tod hath joined together, let not
m put asunder.” The Master did
it approve the easy divorce
.. hich Moses had allowed, and He
named only one cause for divorce.
In the home at Bethany we find
two sisters and a brother loving
and devoted, with Jesus honored
and a welcome guest. In Ephesi
ans 6:1-4 we learn of the right
relation between children and the
parents — children should honor
and obey, fathers should not deal
harshly with their children, “hut
bring them up in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord."
Someone said a child's education
should begin 20 years before he
is born; another said it should be
gin with his grandparents. Nearly
2000 years before these state
ments were made Paul had writ
ten Timothy of the faith of the
young man’s grandmother find
mother. It was an inheritance of
faith which had brought Timothy
to Christ; rather was it both in
1 er'tance and environment— for
much was inherited and from a
child Timothy was trained by pre
cept and example to love God.
