With this organization we feel con- fident that we will be able to ne- gotiate a telling year's work, and we realize that the demands are serious and will require arduous labor. We do not wish to display any excellence. We only aim to stand alongside the other church organizations to assist in the elimination of sin, and the exaltation of righteousness. We feel that it is a pity for people to con- tinue in sin when the wages of sin is death. We fell that there is no good excuse for people to indulge in sin. Christligeness is righteousness, and we prefer to be like Him. -we- us on a march i We hiked I News from Khaki Boys and Mrs. Peder Nelson, living on R. F. D .2, Moscow, have two sons in the army.

Just a line to in form you that 1 am still alive and am now waiting for the time to come when they tell us to get on the ship for the good old U. S. A. I should have sent you some kind of word before but it has been impossible to do so before now. for we took our Dear Parents : guns over the top the last day' of the war, so little did I think of ever getting to see home again, half an hour before 11 o'clock for we were then in No Man's Land and things were pretty lively, but at II o'clock everything got just • as quite and not a gun could he heard. It didn't seem real and we couldn't hardly believe that it was true, but it was, and a_ good thing for us.

Co., 10.3 U. S. Inf.. A. E. F. No. 80.006. 26th Div. France, Nov. 24, 1918. Dear Father: Today is Dad's day and every soldier in A. E. I"', is asked to write their Dad a Xmas letter so here is where I write my dear old Dad a letter, but my paper and iuk is so poor 1 cannot do very good writing, but if you can read it is all I care about. Well, father we have now won the war and given the Germans what you told us to give them, and we have showed them that we were not to play with. Well 1 have gone through the war safe so far. I guess mother's pray ers have been with me and Ted. and may we hope that they will be with us the rest of our life and that we can soon meet face to face and with a. sea of love and cheer brighten our good old home that waits to welcome us home. 1 have not heard from Ted so I don't know where he is, but 1 am in a little village not far back of the firing line, but 1 am safe gnd feeling fine and hope that thsi letter will find you all the same at home. We was just going up to do our bit in a big fight when the word came that the Germans had laid down their guns, and hells begun to ring and the white flag came up to greet us that we were soon going to be free once more, and now we sit around the fire at night and talk about the home we are going to have when wc get back, and we are just full of business, and every soldier wears a smile on bis face. They seem to have forgotten that they are in the army. Weil, we have had a hard time of ft. I would not have wanted to been no place else than in khaki with the rest of the boys, for now 1 can say 1 have done my bit and you can be the proud father of two soldier boys who have donç their part to help wni this war and you have the right to feel proud and you can be sure that we feel proud of dear old Dad too, for he sure is a good old Dad, and 1 will always have a good word for him. At night we sit and talk about our life when we were little boys at home, and how our dads used to get j after us for doing what we ought not to do. and we all seem to have had the some troubles when we were little boys at home, but now we have grown to he men and dad has not got much more to say in that line, but we will always remember what he has told us for his greatest joy was to see us I>e good men and you can he sure we are going to he the man that father and mother wants us to be. ■ We have all the clothes we want to wear so we can keep warm even if it is expect to he home getting cold, by Xmas, but of course you know bow that is wc will come when Uncle Sam gets ready to send us home. Now that the war is done and we are through and we have done the many things we planned to do. we have put the kaiser off his throne and it makes him hunt like hell to find another home. We have drove the Huns hack into Germany and made the world free for democracy, so now when we have done our bit let us go back to uor dear old U. S. A. We I will close for this time for it is get ting too cold for me to write any more but I hope that this letter will find you well and happy and with greeting and love. I close.
