Billy was enjoying the view from the Elfelt Tower when he heard footsteps coming up the stairs and he knew that the soldiers were after him. Quick as a wink he ran to the elevator shut the door as before, and pushing the lever in the opposite direction from which he had before, the car shot backward with terrific speed but not too fast for Billy to see the soldiers climbing the stairs after him. The minute the car passed them they turned and ran down the steps as fast as they had come up, but to no use. Billy reached the bottom before they were halfway down, and in a second he had slipped the door back and was out in the street, running as fast as he could to get out of sight of the soldiers. He did not look where he was going, but ran straight ahead down the street that lay before him, and it was a lucky thing for him that he did, else he never would have found his way back to camp. But as he increased his speed he soon came to some buildings he recognized as having passed when he entered the city with old Nannie. Watching for landmarks, he presently came to the city gates, through which he went like a shot for fear of being stopped. He did run into an old man and knocked him over and hooked a dog out of his path, but with these exceptions he got through all right, and was back in camp, where he found all was animation, for the regiment had been ordered to the front and they were packing up preparatory to leaving that night. "Praise be to de Lord," exclaimed an old darky servant of the captain's. "El dore don' come our suah nuff mascot Billy Whiskaks! What you been, you el rageal? Don' you know Massa Tom been lookin' fo' you ebery-whar? And him gone gone nigh crazy a feah you won' turn up befo' dis heah regimen' done goln' break camp and disappear away like de blown chaff!" In the dead of night the regiment boarded freight cars and in the darkness the train slipped out of Paris, all unknown to the populace. But every soldier suspected the regiment was going to the west front somewhere in France. The soldiers were terribly crowded and uncomfortable in the cars, but no one complained and each made the best of it, and rolled himself up in his army blanket as well as he could, for the night was chilly. Billy, being the mascot, was not shipped in a cattle car by himself, but was allowed to go in with the men, for which privilege Billy and Tom were truly thankful, because Tom could then keep his eye on Billy and see that he did not run away and when Billy lay down he whispered him that he did, else he never would have found his way back to camp.

But as she increased her speed she got out these little garments she looked at them and recall the life of his mother, and how she came up each year with daiml for him to eat and a new lion coat—red coat it was; for was a sacrificial gift and mother would know that a would like a red coat; especially a little coat into which she stitched her prayers and her hands and her hopes; and her misings too; for every mother her fears born of her inta affections. Samuel would learn at those little coats and my mother was a good woman and she loved God; and WELL supply you with fixtures of utility and art. We've priced them for delivery to your home.

In the event of a declaration of war, the property, equally with the persons, lives and liberties of all citizens, shall be subject to conscription for the defense of the Nation, and it shall be the duty of the President to propose and of Congress to enact the Legislation necessary to give effect to this amendment. Above is a summary of The Christian Science Monitor's Peace Plan, designed to render war as repellant to everyone as it is to those who fight, and thus make war less probable. This plan has called forth nation-wide approval. The Monitor has received letters of endorsement from every State, and favorable editorial comment has appeared in newspapers all over the country. In Washington, an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, providing that money and property, as well as men, be drafted in time of war, as advocated in the Monitor's Peace Plan, was recommended to the House Military Affairs Committee by Curtis D. Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy. To the end that the people of this country may have the opportunity of commenting and voting on the Christian Science Monitor's Peace Plan there will be published in the Monitor of May 5, a number of articles by leading industrialists, lawyers, and others which will fully set forth the plan and tell how it could be put into effect. The issue of the Monitor will also contain three ballots, which will enable all to express their views. Individuals and committees desiring to co-operate in the great work of mobilizing public opinion concerning this plan, in order that it may be carried into legislation, are invited to order for distribution, copies of the May 8 Monitor.

CARNATIONS WORSHIPPERS Day morning the White was beautifully decorated with flowers for the Mother's service. Girls in white pinions upon all who on worship and young women a white acted as mahers feature of the service was presentation of a five dollar piece to the mother of O. E. Ed., who was the oldest present. Gelssinger's sermon was upon 1 Sam. 2:19: "More is mother made him a boat, and brought it to him year when she came her husband to offer the sacrifice." Usel of one of the mighty Israel, began his service Kingdom of God, as an boy. He had been a child boyer, and before his birth mother had dedicated him to service of Jehovah. Ourills us that each year after actually began his work in simple, his mother, coming with her annual offerings, bring him a little coat. Bible does not overlooking of this kind. Great laws have not made much of it the Bible does. And, himself, never could for those experiences. It was like mother. Whenever he is faith lapsing he could tell these little garments and them and recall the love mother, and how she had up each year with dainlies to eat and a new little red coat it was, for it sacrificial gift and any would know that a box like a red coat, especially coat into which she had her prayers and her love hopes, and her misgiv- too, for every mother hasears born of her intense sons. Samuel would look those little coats and says mother made those. Ah, mother was a good woman, the loved God, and what our hearts, to fill us with holy ambitions, to bring us under the dominion of high ideals. Mother—her great opportunity is to give her children to God, to give God to her children. The most beautiful picture in the world is an innocent child at his mother's knee learning his first prayer I. The bitterest experience that ever comes to parents is to see their children coming on with the same infirmities they have had, reproducing again their own faults, against which they have battled losingly. You parents know what I mean. Your desire is that your boys, and girls shall be better men and women than you have been. We sometimes laugh at the fondness of parents for their children and of the way they boast about their children. But that isn't anything to laugh at certainly not to make light of. What does it mean but that those parents have had large expectations for their children and having been dreaming dreams for them that they may succeed where the parents have failed. That is a matter for teens rather than sneers. Fathers have a duty to the souls of their boys as well as have the mothers. But somehow after all the mothers are the soul makers. They breathe into the lives of their sons and daughters cynicism and doubt or faith and great heartedness. They make life bitter and hard or fill it with music and hope. We need to think that it didn't matter much what kind of an education we gave our girls. They were going to be housekeepers in the end anyway. But that is the gravest of all mistakes. They are not the housekeepers. Any female can do that. The mothers are the home-keepers, the soul-makers. Only mothers can bring their children up in the nurture of the Lord. But, and if, the mother know not God. That is the tragedy of all tragedies! It is the Hannahs that greatly mother the race for the supreme need of the world is Christian mothers.
