port to take him across the English
Channel, he heard his first ragtime
since arriving in France. It was play
ed by an American Army band. The
band was marching through a street
and he followed it. When the British
officer saw him marching with the
band all saluted him, thinking he was
a high officer. In Southampton a
packet of letters he was carrying to
the United States for a nurse he met
In the French hospital, were taken
from, but he was successful in smug
gling through the photographs he had
taken at the front.
He sailed from Leverpool September
8, on the Philadelphia. Two days out
a submarine appeared and passengers
were warned to get their life belts.
The ship made a, sharp turn, escaping
the submarine's torpedo by a few feet.
The gunners on the boat then opened
fire on the periscope and the subsea
craft disappeared. On the Philadelphia
was a negro who had made three pre
ceding attempts to get back to Ameri
ca, each time sailing on a ship sunk
by a submarine. When this negro
saw the Statue of Liberty he fell on
his knees and gave thanks for his safe
return.

What da you know about your Bible
or the Christian religion? It is not
enough for educated men to have
learned a few Bible stories in child
hood, to hae acquired a few trite
quotations, or to depend on fragments
gleaned from the weekly sermon. The
educated man who Is going to merit a
position of leadership in the most
vital movements of his community
must have some adequate knowledge
of the Bible and of religion. This re
quires study under competent teach
ers. The Bible College of Missouri
offers you your opportunity. See an
nouncement elsewhere in these
