WAR, PEACE
A”D THE LARGER
BROTHERHOOD
Rev. Charles Stelzle.
Federation ot Churches.
‘‘Our national army camps exist for a
singie purpose. That purpose is to win
this war for America and her allies. To
ward the realization of that object every
interest, undertaking and effort in these
camps shouid be directed. That means
that we have taken up the business o'
molding into fighting form of the highest
efficiency a vast army of soldiers whose
every interest and aim should be wrap
ped up in the nation's efforts to push the
war to a permanent peace.
“The religion of the new world is on
the way. The religion of the trenches, T
think, casts aside the shells of the old
sectarian forms. Tn the trench your sol
dier comes face to face with the realities
and he sees th nothingness of many of
the things which have been binding him
to certain restrictive ou Hines of belief.
The man in the trench will not consider
whether he attended a Protestant or a
Roman Catholic service back in the
camps. Tn the trench there is no Pro
testant, no Roman Catholic, no .Tew. All
are brothers together .fighting in a com
mon cause, the cause of right against
wrong.”
“PLEASE DON’T SWEAR;
THERE MAY BE A
. GENTLEMAN PRESENT”
PLEASE DON’T SWEAR; THERE
MAY BE A GENTLEMAN PRESENT.
This motto is to be round at several
places in the Camp, and some men have
cards bearing the same, which they pass
to a fellow who uses improper language.
A similar sentiment is attributed to Gen
eral Grant, who was sitting in his tent
with his staff present when an officer en
tered and, after glancing around, said:
“There are no ladies present and I have
a good story to tell.”
General Grant interrupted, saying
“But there are some gentlemen present.’
The story was not told I
A few days ago a young soldier In re
buking another for profanity, said to
him: “There are a lot of fellows in this
Camp that cannot cuss without swear
ing.” This seems to be a truism.
There are many of us who thoughtless
ly use blasphemous language and swear
and cuss without meaning it, who w’ould
be very much surprised if our larguag,
were reproduced on a phonograph record
and played for our benefit. “Clear
Sport, Clean Speech and Clean Habits,”
is a good motto for any of us.
The general manager of one of the
large railroads up North, a devout Catho- |
lie, and member of the Holy Name So- '
ciety, was in the habit of gently rebuk
ing each--employee whom he heard tak
ing the name of God in vain. One dav

some horrible thing to the coupling when
he was overheard by the general man
ager. After a little while, when the
train had started, he said to the brake
man: “I heard you some time ago speak
disrespectfully of a good friend of mine.”
The brakeman was much surprised and
did not recall the occasion. The Gen
eral manager went on to explain that
Jesus Christ was his friend and meant
so much to him that he did not like to
hear his name lightly spoken.
