llev. Vernon W. Omk Write of
of I rnin e from "Over TIhw"
Mrs. Hazel Watts Cook of Seap
pooso has kindly furnished the Mist
with the following cxtr.ictj from
letters she has received from her
husband in Franco. In speaking of
tho heroic French women he said,
"The other day I heard of a woma i
a French woman, who had journeyed
i long way to Verdun. She was found
In an area where none were allowed
but soldiers and apprehended by tho
guards who asked why she w;.s there. '
She replied that she had come to
weep over the gravo of her sixth and
last son. The Eoldlers saluted and
expressed their sympathy hut there
was no breaking down or giving
away.
"I have not really settled down to
any definite work until now. I was
ordored to report to Mr. , who
is in charge of this area. He Is a
splendid man, one whom I liavo
known by reputation for a long time.
Ho has put me in charge of the re
ligious and educational work, amuse
ments and lectures for this area. We
are in a small French town which I,
suppose is more lively than over be
fore We have a wooden hut or a
lent or sometimes only a room for
the "Y" work. In them we have tho
canteen, meetings, entortalnmonts,
etc. We have plenty of food, a good
hod and plenty of work to do.
Just at the present writing I'm in
a hut In a different area from my
own. Am aftur films for moving pic
ture machines. One evening last
week I went with the moving pic
ture man to a room In an old chuteau
built before the 12th century We
put the screen up over tho mantel, .
the boxes on the table, the machine'
on top of these and went to work. !
This is tho place I urn holding a ser
vice today (Sunday). At another
place I went one evening last week,
we put the scrcon up on tho hack of
n stone building, the benches on
the grass and had our shows out
thore. It was the first time the
soldier boys had hud any amusement
for two whole mouths.
I must tell you of a little Incident
that happened tho other day. One
of the men got word that be was. a
daddy and Immediately he l:ld plans
to celebrate Ho remarked to a
sergeant that he gue.sr.cd be would
et some of tho boys and liavo a lit
tle chnmpHgne together. The ier
gennt told him he would mutch the
money he was golnr; to spend for
champagne and they would make
up u purse r.nil send it as a present
to tho child. On second thought the
coldier thought this was tho bettor
way to celebrate and accordingly did
so. Pretty fine of the Bergeant I
think.
I must bring this to a close and
got over to the station.
