Take for an illustration that little squad of soldiers who received orders for instant departure to a distant point, compelling them to go without supplies, getting along the way whatever chance offered. They arrived wet and weary late at night ahd found the Y. M. C. A. closed. They sought Red Cross quarters, only to be told it was "after hours" and nothing could be done to relieve their hunger, though they offered to pay. In the falling rain they marched until midnight, when a small house fronted them by the roadside. Thumping at the door, it opened, and a light appeared in the hands of a Salvation lassie, who instantly called, "Come in! Come in! Have some hot coffee. We will make it quickly." One of the soldiers who asked to pay for the coffee, batter cakes and doughnuts of the midnight "snack," as he called it, was overcome when the mother lassie of the hut said, "Your 'God bless you' is all the pay we wish." Is it any wonder that one grateful soldier boy chirped up, "Shure, an' av that's the pay yez'll take, why, thin, God bliss yer; God bliss yer. Ye'H be rich in the coin of me heart all yere days." We must never forget the soldier boys who went upon war errands, rain-soaked, hungry and sleepless, and won over for us present peace and the high place the American flag holds today.
