Ruth Harper
On November 1st, 1918, God
in his wisdom saw fit to take
United War Work Will from us cur loving wife, daughter
and sister.
In our imagination we see ber
going about her duties with a
smile; Later wj see heron beds
of afflictions.
She has conquered that disease,
Pneumonia, and grfne to join
the heavenlv choir where sweet
songs shah not epase and clouds
of sorrow never lower.
Weep not dear brother for she
is at rest. She is flying with
her mother and the angels.
She has left assid place in our
hearts, though remember some
day shall we meet beyond lh>
river where joy is ever more.
Only a few week’ before her
death I was at home, She said
to me, Brotbr, vou must he a
good boy, for you know I think
lots of you. She said, live right
and let Marvin, you and I rem
ember our motners who art now
with the angles.
Friends that is something that
breaks tn.v heart when I think of
those ’ few remarks, how true
they were.
•lust a few days after I roturrl
el home. I received a message,
Ruth had gone to mset her moth
er, though she left me here to be
eadv to meet my mother.
A pred-m; o c frog us has in ne
A voice we loved ia stilled;
A p ice is vacantin his horn",
Which never can be filled
Dear Sister how we will miss you,
Since vou lr.-ve o-one from our sight
- - - ou 'uv. v n ir h-arts are broken,
And our day changed to night.
She has gone to dwell withJeRua,
Where a robe and crown she’ll wear;
In ihathouseof many Mansions,
That her Savior didjprepare.
She h .s left us sad and lonely,
InthiB world of cruel pain; ’
But be i olid this vail of sorrow,
Soon we hope to meetagain.
Tom.
Not only amid the Horrors of
battle, but in the Frenzied
Piriod of D3m<>ralization, wel
fare organizations will act as
Great Bulwark against harmful
influence will help to mould
better citizens and higher ideals
Georgia must lead quickly if she
would win high honor of front
trench Hut named for her.
If ever army and welfare work
is to be of more \ alue than while
he foice of A merica is being
hurled against Prussian auto
cracy, it will be during the vital
period of demobilization, tnd
luring the lull and relaxation
which will follow closely a ces
sation of hostilities. Then,
when youthful spirits begin to
s iar among the faneie of foreign
fields, it will be m st important
■.hut America’s arms be folded
closely around her soldier and
sailor boys, the future builders
of our nation.
The seven army and navv wel
fare organizations which are em
braced in the United War Work
Drive are essential national fact
ors which should command deep
est interest on the part of the
“folks hack home,” for they will
represent America in taking
care of the gallant fellows when
the flood of fire cea3es and the
pendulum of human interest be
gins to swing.. ...
A fifty per cent over subscrip
tion of quotas in the United War
Work Drive is made essential bj
the present crisis, and there is a
nation wide appeal foi this gener
ous evidence of Ameri a’s app
reciation for he heroic, victorious
struggle of over four million oi
fellows who were willing to give
their last drop of red blood foi
the peace and freedom of theii
people.
