I could not walk across the floor without having to sit down to rest and it was hard for me to keep about and do my work. I went to a doctor and he told me I had a displacement and ulcers, and would have to have an operation. This frightened me so much that I did not know what to do. Having heard of Lydia E.

We cooked nor breakfast and having nothing else to do sat down and smoked, told stories and sang. The spirit of Christmas causes one to make some signs of mirth even if he has no voice to sing. We had ' tllileae Fritz startedorders riot to fire something but he felt the same as ourselves and sounds of singing could be heard coming from his trench. The singing from both sides picked up in volume and soon hats were waving to each other from the top of the parapets. No shots wet'o flied so soon heads and bodies appeared on both sides and the cheering on both sides continued. In fact Fritz seemed anxious for us to come out hall' way in "No loan's land" and shake hands but even if we were willing to call off fighting for one clay we did not want to shake hands with our enemy. We just sang songs to each other and yelled until our lungs were sore.

Belgium, Jan. 1, 1016. "We'll Never Let the Old flag fall." Following are some notes taken from the address of F. H. Gilroy at the Methodist church on a recent dale, in which he used various flags as object lessons in connection with the address :- Our thought and attention has to- night n' , beeng directed to the Flag. It is 1 fitting and proper r that we should, 1 vto 1 especially at this time when the Na- tion is in the throes of a great world struggle, blink of the Flag, and what it stands for. Patriotism is a God- given instinct, and every true patriot loves Isis flag. Belgium. It is with a feeling akin to that of reverence that we touch the flag of our brave and gallant ally Belgium. 'One cares not to think of what might have happened, nay what most surely would have happened, had she not proven true in that crucial hour when the Kaiser's hordes were hurled against her, and had she not stood there until France and Britain were able to bring up their forces, And through the years yet unborn, we and our children shall glory in the bravery, fortitude and defiance, with which she faced the strongest, mightiest and most powerful war - machine the world has ever known. Even to -day, although crushed, bleeding and broken-hearted, she is still unrelenting in her deter- mination to keep the sword unsheath- ed, until the foe has been driven from her territory and the Bag of vic- tory floats o'er her land. We read in the papers recently of the Pope of Rome sending a letter to Ring Albert, urging him to open peace negotiations, and we glory in Ins reply, "Never, while my people are in slavery." We also recall a cartoon which ap- peered some time ago, in which the Kaiser, standing in that haughty at- titude so characteristic of the man, was represented as saying to King Al- bert, 'And so you have lost all," and Albert's reply has been echoed arnnnd the world, ''No, thank God, I still have my soul." That spirit, which is typical not only of her noble King, but of her people, is the spirit which will keep Belgium alive during this awful testing time. France. Our thoughts and affec- tions go out also to the tri-oolor, of one brave ally France. Never has it meant so mach to Its as it does to- night. She too is passing through the furnace; but is coming through pure gold. She has been defeated but not destroyed ; she is distressed but not discouraged ; she is broken-hearted but not down -hearted, Some Of her most sacred national hel'Itages lit4Ve_ been destroyed, bat 9)19 19 leis dlenlayed, but is deterutbhed to fight on and if need be to bleed on until the doctrine that "Might Is Right" i s forever destroyed td a nd until 1, d m and tett o t hteou uses Justice, F 1 a 1 , I Equity" havee becomete the foundation tion stones np0n which the world's new civilization shall be reared, Germany, I have no flag of have Ger. v e o e many, nor do we oare to a one, Tier flag ht s become stained b Y Ghe outrages she has committed against Two of 'nand humanity. tit !
