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.

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.
