8 Hun in Death Throes Kills Child in Street New York. —The desperate malev olence of a German airman, who, falling to his death, tried to "go west in style" by taking with him as many women and children as he could, is graphically described by Mrs. Laura Forest, of the American Fund for French Wounded, in a let ter from Epernay, where she took part in the exacuation of a hospital before the German advance and wit nessed the fall of the German air plane. The letter, received at the na tional headquarters of the fund, 73 Park Avenue, tells how the Botho even after he had fallen deliberately continued to fire upon non-combat ant spectators. Mrs. Forest's let ter says: "It was just after breakfast on Sunday when the guns announced the approach of an enemy 'plane, and we crowded around the doors of our hotel and watched what we thought was the successful carrying out of a dangerous move—the sud den dropping down of the 'plane through the area of bursting shells and out of the reach of the guns.

Right over the building he came, raking the street with machine gun fire, and then came such a hurst of joy from the throats of the peo ple as Is seldom heard—'ll est tombe. il est tombe' (he has fallen!). Soon I found myself running with the men and women and children of Epernay, and with them I kept on running till the fallen 'plane was In sight. Wounded as the aviator was, he turned his machine gun on the crowd and fired, killing a woman and a child. And still we ran on and found him, and only the arrival of a motor with the police let jiim live as long as he did. He died within a few hours. The second man was buried under the machine and the crowd was dispersed be fore he was brought out, badly wounded, and carried away. I never heard whether he lived or died."

HAMUSBURG TELEGRAPH! WAR'S NEW CRUSADE The* International Sunday School Lesson FOP July 28 Is "Obeying God." Matt. 4:18-22; John 14:22-24; Jas. 1:22-27. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS As a crusade the present war far outshines the crusades of the Middle Ages. Not only Is it vaster in ex tent and in its forces, but it also has greater goals and nobler inspir ations. "It is the iwill of God!" shoitted the soldiers marching to Palestine to recover the empty tomb of their Lord from the Saracen. With less clamor, but with a pur pose full-y as deep, reverent and holy, the armies which have foregathered in France from the ends of earth, struggle toward the re-establishment of the regnancy of rlghteousnes, the will of God upon frth. The might of this lofty motive is just what the ambitious Central powers cannot understand, though it is the force which has sustained the allies throughout four bitter years, and the motive which drew America into tin war. Underlying the service by our sol diers is the spirit of devotion to the will of God. There Is much talk of the German higher command in the papers; but the Higher Command which millions of allied fighters rec ognize is the Law of God, a power so sacred that life itself may not be more nobly spent than in its support and vindication. Hearts are made steady and nerves strong by the knowledge that we are obeying the Divine.will In battling for the ideals of Jesus and their fulfillment on earth. What the Soldier Knows Anybody who really knows our soldiers in France is well aware that they are not swash-bucklers or pro fessional fighting men. They do not love war; they hate is. There is no lust to kill in their hearts. All the old poetical figments about the war rior thirsting for combat, like a rest less war-horse, are simply absurd. Our mn are in this thing because a high and holy compulsion has band ed civilization together to save the world from an evil force which many Bible students call the Anti-Christ. •These men who have crossed the seas and the channel to France are Cru saders In behalf of the will of God— that holy will which decrees right eousness, justice, liberty, peace and brotherhood. Even the most irre ligious of our soldiery is sure, in his deepest soul, that he is obeying God. This is the one clear and supreme conviction of the allied armies. They are lacking in what may be called the refinements and intricacies of religion; sometimes they show a shocking disregard for churchly con ventionalities. Theological subtle ties are a matter of Indifference or of jest. Petty parochialism will never again claim them. They would not give a button from a German prisoner's trousers for the divisive claims of denominationalism. Many of the things 'that engross the par sons back home interest them less than ever. But the holy will of God enlists their rifles and their hearts. They have an expansive sense of unity with the divine purpose in their present mission. Freely they give themselves to danger and death, because they believe that their cause Is at once humanity's cause and God's cause. Singer* tn the Trenches Several noteworthy volumes of verse and hundreds of fine individ ual "poems, have come out of the tranches. Most strikes the spiritual note. The soldiers are thinking about God and the great Ideals Some of their utterances are exquisitely Christian. The introspective mys ticism of the Middle Ages has pro duced nothing finer than this Pray er of a Soldier in France" by a well known New York poet, Joyce Kil mer, who is now a private in the 165 th Infantry: "My shoulders ache beneath my pack, . (Lie easier. Cross, upon His back,) I march with feet that burn and smart, (Tread, Holy Feet, upon my heart.) Men shout at me who may not (They scourged Thy back and smoth Thy cheek) I may not lift a hand*to clear My eyes of salty drops that sear, (Then shall my fickle soul forget Thy agony of Bloody Sweat?) My rifle hand Js stiff and numb (From Thy plereced palm red rivers come) Lord, Thou didst suffer more for me Than all the hosts of land and sea. So let me render back again _ This millionth of Thy gift. Amen. Making Motives Mlfrtitler It has taken a great motive, one coincident with heaven's law, to send to France more than a million and a half of troops from the United States and Canada, in a steadily-growing stream. Only th propulsion of a purpose of divine proportions could create such armies, of such a spirit, as are now facing the forces of autoc racy in France to-day. Equal, or greater, motives are necessary to bring to pass in civil life the new conditions that are 4 essential. For the homeland, as well as for the fighting forces, the cry must be. "It is the will of God." The supremacy of human obligation to obey our di vine Lord must grip all hearts in newness of present reality. God's right to rule, and man's right to obey, should emerge fresh anß clear from tljis world of cataclysm. Otherwise our case Is hopeless. Except we erect sure standards for society that will lift all the people up to a plane approximating the level of our fighting men, we shall have suffered a social and religious defeat in the war. What avails it to the world if we save Belgium, but lower the standards of chastity in Britain and America? No battle field glory can be a compensation for the unrebuked rise of the profiteer and politician in the homelands. Should lawlessness be permitted to Increase among our young people at home, our teaching of the law to Germany would be a farce. Are we to let our soldiers become cosmopo lites, while we persist in our paro chialism or provincialism? Shall we Indulge in an orgy of luxury and spend-thriftery, while our boys "over there" make the supreme sac rifice? Is It thinkable that munition workers at home shall decrease their Industry and efficiency, at the same time greatly increasing their wages, while our soldiers, by superhuman efforts, pay "the last, full measure of devotion?" Are the personal Ideals of our people becoming nobler or baser, as a result of the war? Questions like theae show how ur gent is the necessity for pressing home the acceptance of standards that are fixed, universal and eternal. In other words, they reveal the Im portance of letting God take His rightful place as King and Lawgiver. A new passion for the right In our own lives must come to us. This vivid sense bt justice will not only intensify our condemnation for ' all "slackers" and social and political as well as commercial profiteers, but it will also set men and women afire with eagerness to realize in their own lives the will of God. The Swede'* Telephone As countless of our boys have "found themselves" in the discipline of army life, so lives beyond number have learned that perfect freedom comes by allegiance to th clear will of God. Obedience else is right felicity. Everything elst is right when we are right with God. An Oregon Swede is said to have given this quaint testimony: "I have all my lifetime been an in fidel, and the Lord had a hard Job to save a poor old Swede man, but He did save me, and put a little tele phone in my heart and the other ind in hiven. Sometimes He say to me, 'Hello, Larsen," and I say, 'Hllto;' and den He speak to me so schveet, and den I must be careful dat I don't cut up no prank to break dat little vlre what brung de message, for I find we can have a good deal of fun wid God if we behave ourself." Doing the will is more important than confessing the creed, by Jesus' own declaration. As an old writer says, the Lord's sheep are marked on the oars and the feet; they hear His voice and they follow Him. Christ rebuked stinglngly those who called Hifn "Lord, Lord," but did not the things He commanded them. The Hungry Junk Heap War is throwing on to the scrap heap a great many Institutions and usages. We who are zealous for the Church do not realize how much that we have deemed sacred is to go the way of old junk. Denominational peculiarities, churchly practices, minor organizations—the countless wheels within wheels, to keep which turning engrosses so much of the power of religious institutions that there is little left for the real output of changed lives —these are destined to pass. The v Church after the war will be a simpler organization, with far les machinery, ferew salaried officers, a lower maintenance cost, less unholy competition, and only a small degree of self-complacency. It will be a body of humbled and chas tened disciples of Jesus, bent upon doing the will of God in the welfare of man. The Christians of to-morrow will have a new zeal for the honor of the Lord, and for the fulfillment of His ministry. Two quotations from an army chaplain, Rev. Godfrey Gordon, ap propriately close this Lesson: "If the will of God is merely a matter of opinion, no single individual can have great that his own prayers are more worth while than the prayers of some one else who is offering them with a precisely con trary intent. But for those who be lieve in Christianity, the will of God Is no longer a matter of mere guess work, And It Is in no way dependent upon our Imaginings. The nature and chtracter of God has been spread out before use. In Christ, God Is re vealed as a person with a will of His own, ,a will that is ascertainable— a will that is like Christ's will. It does not matter that hostile nations use to Him the same words and apply to Him the same titles. Prayer, how ever worded; however addressed, 1s not prayer In the name of Christ un its It is a laying of our wills In line with God's will, as that will has been revealed to .us in Christ. Believing in the justicfe of the cause in which we fight, convinced that its triumph is in accordance with His will, the fact that others pray to Him for its defeat will disturb us not at all. Our task it is to keep ourselves in line with what we believe to be His pur pose and His will, and therewith to be content. "The Christian is free and royal, yet before all things he is a man un der authority. He is 'bought with a price'—the slave of his Lord. St. James, who is content at the open ing of his Epistle to describe himself as the bond-servant of Jesus Christ, speaks more than once of a royal law, a law of liberty. The Christian is a servant, yet free and royal, be cause his service is voluntary and offered in the spirit of the Royal Son of Man, who himself came not to be ministered unto but to minister. He is under authority, but it Is the authority of Him in whose service is perfect freedom. The Christian law is law, binding and authoritative, Resinol cleared mine completely I, too. thought that nothing would clear my skin, I had used so many remedies and nothing helped much, but when I finally tried Resinol Oint ment and Resinol Soap, I could feel an mprovement in a short time.
