Eighty-four were In attendance at the Union Sunday school last Sunday. All meetings during the was not a very nice thing to say. I, of conrse, was taken to court and sentenced to jail for twenty- tour hours. When I was released from the jail the captain did not think that I was punished enough so every day for two weeks he or dered that I be tied to a tree for two hours. My mother had also been taken prisoner at the time I was, and on one occasion when we were hungTv I sneaked away from the lines and walked over seven miles for a loaf of bread. I walked into a German bakery and asked the baker for a loaf of broat." The baker said no broat" and gave me a kick. We were even forced to bury the horses. I remember during the win ter we were forced to bury a horse. The ground was frozen and t was rather difficult to dig a grave. We finally succeeded in getting the grave dug, but when we went to bury the horse, found out that the grave was not deep enough so we just buried part of its body and left the feet sticking out of the grave. During some of the heaviest fir ing the French prisoners had to go out on the streets with the Ger mans and the Germans would show the the dead and wounded French soldiers. There were 250 women taken prisoners at the time I was. After about a year and a half the Ger mans were running out of food bo decided to let the women, go. At that time they had about one thous and women prisoners. We were each given a number and taken to the depot and put on a train and headed for Paris. It was a two weeks trip and during all the trip we were under guard. All the trav eling was done at night and we were not permitted to have any light at all in the train. During the day we had to stay in German camps. We passed thru Germany and stayed there al out two days in a German camp. From there we went to Swiss and stayed there in German camps under Swiss guards. From Swiss we went to Paris home and free again. When we arrived in Paris we re ceived word from my father that he and my brother would be home the sixteenth of July, 1916, for a short visit. My father arrived home, but my brother was killed in action. In Paris the women had to help make ammunition, but the work being too strenuous the men finally had to work in the ammunition fac tories and the women nursed the wounded. During the World War a siren blew every night and we had to go down in the cellars of our homes and stay there until the siren blew again. Summer thunderstorm as a "tem pest," while oldtime Virginians call such a storm a "gusty." The American Council of Learned Societies is beginning to collect these local names of common things. They are all good English, and many of them are survivals of old English words no longer used In England. With the freer mingling of people from different regions many of these distinctions of speech are disappearing, and it is well to have them preserved before some of the words and phrases vanish entirely from the language. Ships a 1,050 footer Names . . saving common The same thing has different names In different parts of the Uni ted States. Thus, what Is always a "pail" in New England is a "buck et" in the South. The Georgia boy might throw a "rock" at a squirrel, but up North a piece of rock small enough for that purpose wluld be called merely a "stone." In some parts of the country "gumbo" means soup with okra In It; in other re gions It refers to a sticky kind of red clay. What Virginia calls "sal sify" New York calls "oyster plant." New Englanders refer to a sudden The largest ship ever built, the new French liner, Normandie, was launched the other day at St. Na zaire. For thirty years shipping men had been talking about the thousand foot ship, but the Nor mandie is the first to reach that length. She is one thousand and fifty feet long. Before the war the Germans and the English had built several ships in the nine-hundred-foot class, such as the Lusitania, Mauretania, Levi athan, Majestic, and Aquitania. Since the war the tendency has been toward smaller ships, until the Italians surprised the world with the Rex, the largest ship yet put into commission since the war. There are not many harbors in the world in which a thousand-foot ship can be safely docked. It is not likely that we will see much larger craft afloat in our time. These big ships are uneconomical, and are subsidized by governments largely for advertising purposes. The bulk of the world's commerce has always been borne, and probably will al ways be borne, by smaller craft, which can go wherever there is car go to be carried. Thomas .... the socialist The enormous vote cast for Nor man Thomas, the Socialist candi date for the Presidency, is as much a tribute to the personal character of the candidate as it was an ex pression of disgust with the two old parties on the part of the voters. Socialism, as Mr. Thomas repre sents it, does not consist in waving the red flag and threatening des truction to property and property owners. He is a revolutionist, but a peaceful revolutionist. I don't agree with Mr. Thomas, but I like him, as many other peo ple do, because of his personal in tegrity and sincerity. He was a Presbyterian minister before he went into politics, and he looks up on his socialistic program as mere ly applied Christianity. Radio ..... 12 years ago Twelve years ago, on November 2, 1920, the first radio broadcasting station in the world, KDKA at Pittsburgh, broadcast its first pro gram, consisting of election returns in the Harding-Cox contest. Today there are some 1,100 broadcasting stations in the world, more than half of them in the United States. Thousands of millions have been invested in radio receiving sets, of which there are some fifteen million in the United States alone. Enor mous fortunes have been made from trifling investments in this still young industry. I don't know what the next big fast growing industry is going to be, but I know for certain that be fore long something, which has perhaps already bene started in a small way, will catch the popular fancy and make fortunes for its promoters and early investors as radio has done. Character ... in banking A New York banking friend of mine surprised me the other day by saying that he thought the de pression had been, on the whole, a good thing for the nation as a body, what only a few of us saw, and that only partially, that a great many men of low character had got themselves into positions where they could control other people's money," he said. "Some of them were in the banking business, many of them were in other lines. They were posing as great business lead ers and building up confidence which they did not deserve. "Some of them have committed suicide, some have gone to jail, some have fled to foreign countries, some have simply disappeared. "It is a banker's business to judge men's character. Sound business cannot be conducted by men of low moral and ethical standards. It will be a long time, I believe, before dishonest but plausible speculators will again find themselves in a po sition to pose as men of honor and swindle the unwary. If I am right about that, then the net effect of the depression will have been good for the United States." IHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIimilllHillllllHI Rough pine lumber for sale.

Is Religion Playing Out? "The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the Bea." Ha bakuk 2-14. Let it be understood that RE LIGION as here referred to, is the RELIGION OF THE LORD JE SUS CHRIST. Occasionally some super - man rises up to tell us that religion is playing out. But whoever says that, or believes that, does not know the deeper heart of mankind. He does not even know his own deeper heart One may be utterly indifferent to religion, as such; his attitude may even appear to be hostile; yet if we dig beneath the outer surface of that life, we will find that one, like all others, possesses the religious instinct. And this instinct is so deeply rooted in his very being that he cannot get away from It Religion is as old as the human race. And if ever there was any possibility of its playing out, it would have done so long ago. There have been times when the general interest in religion was at a low ebb. Just now, however, the subject of religion seems to be com manding a greater popular atten tion than ever before. It is not so long ago that a great Londo.i newspaper carried in its columns for several weeks a. series of religious articles, and during that period its circulation increased many thousands. It is a matter of general comment that American newspapers and magazines are de voting much more space than ever before to Church news and to dis cussions relating to religious ques tions and affairs. People are thinking and writing and talking more about religion to day than ever before, and the fact of the Interest manifested Is one of the most significant signs of the times. It does not look to the care ful observer as though religion was playing out In the future, as in the past, the tide of popular interest In religion may ebb and flow; but ultimately, as was prophesied by Habakkuk: "The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

Christ always used the future as a source of inspiration, directing the attention of His followers to the glorious inheritance which that future would reveal. He treated the future as unknown and yet well known. We know that tomorrow will come, but not what it will bring. Watch therefore therefore be ye also ready. Death is coming to every one. There is nothing so certain in the progress of human life as this. If we had riches of earth we could not bribe it to pass us by. If we had wings of an eagle we could not fly from it We are all interested in the coming of death and should therefore be pre pared. It is Christ's command to be ready.
