ELLIS Secretary Daniels tells of a recent visit to the Naval Hospital in Brook lyn, where he saw a returned ma rine, with one leg shot off. A rela tive had said to the lad, after hear ing his enthusiastic account of the battle. "But it's too bad you lost your leg." "I did not lose my leg," responded the marine, "I gave it." That is the spirit which makes great s,ints and great soldiers. It is the spirit which has wrought mir acles in our lands at war. Surren der and sacrifice are the two wings by which our people have risen to new altitudes of life. We have en tered upon the heights of possibili ties of the human soul, because we have learned to give up all the things we prized most, even includ ing our sons. This is the mood that makes the present Lesson of Abraham's gift of his son Isaac on the altar of sacrifice on appropriate and timely one. It is the same mood that sends our sol diers thronging to the sacrament of communion in camp and at the front. I know of boys about to sail from an embankment camp who ask ed a Y. M-. C. A. man, shortly be fore midnight, if they could have a communion service that night. A chaplain was awakened, rejoicing at the opportunity, and he prepared the "Y" hut for the sacrament. By the time it was ready, there were hun dreds of soldiers quietly gathered to partake of the memorials of the Su preme Sacrifice, and the service was Impressive beyond words. By three o'clock that morning the boys were aboard ship, bound for France. When the Sou left Camp In the same address wherein he related the incident of the soldier in the Brooklyn hospital. Secretary Daniels told another story, which dealt with what he termed the most sacred and impressive experience of his own life. He had gone to Quan tico, the marines' training camp, the night before a detachment of five thousand men were to embark for France. Long before daybreak the men were aroused, and a large pro portion of them assembled 'for a farewell communion service—shar ing. as they went forth in the train of Christ to offer their bodies in life cr in death, to help redeem the Stomachs Put in Order-Instantly!

You never knew of Rheumatism — that most painful source of suffering —being cured by liniments, lotions or other external applications. And you will never see anything but tem porary relief afforded by such make shifts. But why be satisfied with tempo rary relief from the pangs of pain which are sure to return with in creased severity, when there is per manent relief within your reach? Science has proven that Rheuma tism is a disordered condition of the blood. How then, can satisfactory results be' expected from any treat HOW WEAK, NERVOUS WOMEN QUICKLY GAIN VIGOROUS HEALTH AND STRONG NERVES 7 A DAY FOR 7 DAYS A Vigorous, Healthy Body, Sparkling Eyes and Health-Col ored Cheeks Come in Two fWeeks, Says Discoverer of Bio feren. World's Grandest Health Build er Costs Nothing Unless It Gives to Women the Buoyant Health They Long For. It is safe to say that right here In this big city are tens of thousands of weak, nervous, run-down, de pressed women'who in two weeks' time could make themselves so healthy, so attractive and so keen minded that they would compel the admiration of all their friends. The vital health building elements that these despondent women lack are all plentifully supplied in Bio , Xeren. . world, the memorials of the Re . deemer's supreme sacrifice. The head of the American Navy had no thought at that moment of his position and authority as the commander of half a million men, and of untold ships. All tho pomp and state and circumstances of his high office were out of his thought. As he knelt there in the fellowship of the sacrament (he did not tell this part of his experience in public; I know it from other sources) he was hut a humble Christian, saved by the grace of Christ; and a heart-sore fa ther, parting from his first-born son. I For among the marines leaving that day for the other side was the old jest son of the Secretary of the Navy, I who had a few weeks before won ihis promotion from the rank of a I private. j All over the world to-day there are fathers and mothers sharing the Abraham experience of offering up 'their sons. There is no parent who jsees his boy go forth to France who does not, in his imagination, picture (him as slain. Our sons are surren dered for the supreme sacrifice, in i this hour of holy dedication we |overlook the reassuring statistics | that by far the greater number of ; soldiers will return safe and strong iand emancipated to new manhood. | Our allied nations are to-day unit ed in the fellowship of the supreme renunciation. Love has given of its [best, to the highest and holiest I Cause. We read with mellowed ,hearts the Abraham story: and we enter into a few appreciation of the j divine meaning of the inspired | words, "God so loved . . . that he gave His only Son." What a spirit jual epoch the world is passing ■ through! God forbid that we should | busy ourselves with the merely ma terial aspects of the war and miss its I nobler, trurer meanings. IjOyal to the Limit | War has broken the crusts that seemed to hold life down to lower j levels. A Nebraska boy in France iclosed a letter home with the rhap sody, "Oh, my people, my America, ;I never knew I would love you as 1 jlove you now."

Sonship meant more to Abraham than ever before, when he bore Isaac up to the place of sacrifice—lsaac, the comely, sweet-spirited, handsome young man, who had reached the age of the boys who are now burdening the bosom of the sea, en route to France. A new conception of how much our sons mean to us has come to the parents who have, unrelue tantly and loyally, given their boys to the Hag, and to the Cause which we profoundly believe is identical with God's Cause on earth. It seems as if our sons were first anointed with the sacramental oil of sanctity and of holy affection before we laid them on our Country's altar. Voices break as we sing, week after week, "God save our splendid men, Send them safe home again, God save our men; Keep them victorious, Patient and chivalrous, They are so dear to us; God save our men." I This is the very chrism of our de jvotion. It seals the quality of our [ patriotism. Because these boys 1 whom we offer up to God ond our (Cause are so precious, we thereby (prove the genuineness of our passion I for the great ideals. This is with | our people to-day, as it was with j Abraham of old, ioyalty to the limit. I We have not kept back our best from ithe highest use. God asks our best, in order that He may give us of His best. At the Pinocle of l.il'c I know a dear old woman who is an original thinker upon Biblical themes. Once she asked me, "Did you ever consider when it was that Abraham saw Christ's day?" The , question was only rhetorical, so X waited. "Well, 1 often have; and it used to puzzle me. Then, one day, it all came to me of a sudden, when I was bonding over the sink washing the dishes, and thinking about this matter. It was when Abraham of fered up Isaac that he saw Christ's day. He understood the great sacri ficial love of God, when he took his only boy up to Mt. Mo'riah, ready to obey God at any cost. That was the spirit of Calvary. And it is a coincidence of inter est that where' Isaac was offered up, somewhere near the Jerusalem rock, there also Christ was offered in real ity, as well as in intention: He was both the Son and the Lamb devoted to sacrifice. This was the apex of Abraham's spiritual experience. He achieved [heights of self-surrender, and of ab solute devotion to the will of God, ithat set the divine seal of favor upon [his character. We come to our high est when our hearts bow lowest in submission to God. It was a verif iable Gethsemane that Abraham un derwent; arid he emerged like his [greatest Descendant, obedient to the Will. For, obviously, as often, God asked for Isaac because He wanted Abra ham. The thing He care about was the complete and uttermost loyalty of His servant. He desired to make sure that Abraham could stand any test. Once he found that there was absolutely no reserved room in the house that His friend Abraham had made over to him, God relinquished His claim upon the token He had indicated. It was because Isaac was Abraham's dearest possession that God, who "Will not be king at all un less He can be king In all," wished to make sure that the son was in cluded in the patriarch's loyalty. A legend of Many Bands One of the universal beliefs, found in some form or other among all primitive peoples, Is that every great structure needs at its foundation the sacrifice of a life. I have seen tem ples and palaces and bridges and bells, in many foreign lands, of which stories were told that the king's son or daughter, or the fairest maiden in the land, had been entombed In the foundation, or cast into the mol ten metal. God has written deeply in the heart of man this Instinct, that the best must be sanctified by sacrifice. Abraham was but working out a law of the highest life when he offered his son. In Abraham's time, human sacri fice as a religious rite was widely ob served. To him, the idea that God should want him to slay his son was not incongruous, but in perfect ac cord with the religious ideas of the surrounding notions. We must re member that Abraham was only learning to know Jehovah and His nature. So when God stayed his hand, as he lifted the knife to slay Isaac, a new idea came into the world. It was that the human sacri fice is repugnant to the Supreme Us ing. A new step out of heathen darkness was taken on the heights of Mt. Moriah. I Occasionally, tho records tell of some demented person who feels that IGod calls hlnx to emulate Abraham | and offer up his son's life. Only a crazy man would get this idea: for God expressly prevented this act on Abraham's part. We, who have so much fuller and clearer knowledge of the nature of God than was vouch safed to Abraham in that twilight time, understand that such an act vould be sheer and horrible murder. Any person moved with an Impulse to slay his child should know straightway that his brain has broken down and that ho should give himself at once into the hands of the physicians or the police. It Is the spirit of sacrifice—the willingness to relinquish our most cherished possession for the glory of God—that this lessor, teaches. Loy alty by the Divine Will, in complete self surrender, is the message of Mt. .Moriah, of Gethseinane on the Mt! |of Olives, of Mt. Calvary, and of the [world's present Mountain of Trlbu i ration- The Plotters A New Serial of East and West By Virginia Terhnne Vnn de Water (Copyright, 1918, Star Company.) By Virginia Tcrhune Van DeWatcr CHAPTER LIII. There is a form of excitement that, in some natures, shows itself In an unnatural calm. Such was the excitement that Elizabeth Wade felt at this junc ture. Breeding and training had taught her a self-possession that would have done credit to a ma tured woman of the world. Her histrionic talent also stood her in good stead now. She told herself that she had a part to play and must play it well. Had she doubted her lover's in nocence she would have found it harder to maintain an equable ex terior. As it was. she stayed her soul upon the certainty of his guilt lessness and the knowledge of his love for her. So she was able to talk sooth ingly to Martha Chapin as she un dressed her and helped her into bed. The matron, appolled and horri fied at what had happened, was not the heart-broken being she would have been had she loved her hus band better and feared him less. After she had cried for awhile her thoughts turned longingly to her boy. "If I could only see Clifford!" she moaned at the end of an hour's talk. "I will telegraph for him at once," Elizabeth told her. "It was stupid of me not to think of this sooner." Going softly downstairs, she started towards the rear hall where the telephone was. At the sound of her step Butler came out from the dining room. Through the open door she could see that Mr. Miller was still there. "What can I do for you, dear?" Butler queried in a low voice. She explained that she wished him to send a telegram to Clifford Chapin. "You can telephone it to tthe telegraph office," she went on. "Sim ply say that his father is dead, and that he must come on immediate ly." "What is his address?" Butler queried, taking out a pencil and pocket pad. The girl smiled at him approving ly. "I am proud of your self-pos session, dear," she whispered. 'I will get the address from Mrs. Chapin." She was back in a minute with the address. When Butler had tak en it she asked a question, "Who's in there now?" as she heard steps in the small room. ' "The coroner and his assistant," John replied. Then, seeing her change color slightly, he took her hand in his. "Don't worry, dear. It is only a formality that must be gone through." "I know," she nodded.

And, dear, you must not mind when the sheriff comes." The sheriff!" She caught her breath sharply. "Yes, darling. That is only an other formality." "Very well," she murmured. She started upstairs, then stopped, seized by a sudden idea. "John," turning back, "I want you to send another telegram for me." "To whom?" "To Douglass. I need him." "Very well, dear," John said slow ly. "But will it be convenient to him ?" "He must come whether it is or not," she rejoined bluntly. "Yes, I must have him." "All right," the man agreed, 'What shall I say to him?" "Only—'l need you. Come imme diately.' Sign it, ELIZABETH." Then she returned to Mrs. Chapin and, sitting by her bed, tried to soothe h'er by allowing her to talk of what was on her mind. "I don't see how Pa happened to be fooling with that pistol," Mar tha Chapin said. And at the words Elizabeth startled violently. It had not occurred to her that this simple minded woman had not connected John Butler with the circumstances of her husband's death. "You see," the matron went on, "he never used to bother much about a pistol. He always kept one, but I never saw him have it on his person till to day. Then he showed it to me when he came back from discharging that crazy Pole. He said he had taken it with him in case Talak waxed ugly, and that it was loaded. I felt kind er nervous when he said that, er nervous when he said that. "I suppose ho was handling it when he was arguing with Mr. But ler. From his voice-you could know he was getting reckless in his talk. In his excitement he must have pulled the trigger, not noticing a thing that he was doing, or what way the pistol was pointed." A look at the face on the pillow showed Elizabeth Wade that the speaker's words were as sincere as her spirit was guileless. And as she realized this the girl bent forward impulsively and, putting her arms about the woman, kissed her ten- ' derly. Dear, dear Mrs. Chapin!" she \ murmured. "How good you are! Oh, ] my dear, I am so sorry for you!" "Thank you-, dearie!" Mrs. Chapin ! patted the fair young cheek. "You're i a great comfort to me, honey. You ! must not worry about me. It's all terrible, but," a gleam of light j coming to her eyes—"if I can only see Clifford I'll feel better. You j think he'll surely come, don't you?" j 'Of course he will, as fast as the train can carry him," Elizabeth said confidently. "And he'll keep you j with him after this—always." I As she saw the faint smile come i to the mother's lips Elizabeth Wade I appreciated that maternity, not matrimony, had been the passion of this plain woman's life. (To Be Continued.)
