army in Belgium. It looked as if
there were no hope of escape,
However, the British Navy and
the Brfttstr soldiers brought back
tn the British Isles a large per
rentage of these men. What a des
perate effort and what courage

these • British soldiers! In all
emergencies human nature seems
to be capable of arising to the oc
ration. There are many men and
women iri the world who know
nothing of the regenerating grace
of God. who will give their last
drop of blond to rescue their fel
low men in the hour of peril. The
Bible teaches- that the highest
reach of human love is this: that

is higher than human love. Christ
manifested His love for us in that

for us. Ordinarily, human beings I

WE WONDER
We wonder what, becomes of
words,
Those words we do not say;
The words that simmer into
thoughts
And wing themselves away!
We wonder if they travel on
Anri on and on and back again,
To build a little house of dreams
Or make a golden chain!
Dear Old Man Folks:—
If we did not spend so much

expect of the ones that we fancy
we see in expectation. We might

our curosity would die! What

another peep-hole into things!
Reckon we would do well
