JOHNSTON LETTER. (Continued from First Page.) but she remained another year to be ?with some of her girls who would grad?ate. The names of these fou girls were Frauces Land, Marion "Wong, Pauline Chang and Emma Kiang. The prayers of all were asked for those who had graduated at the Normal School, for it will be their work which will decide the future of the Normal school. The principal work of the South Carolina Y. W. A. is medical mis sions and this she told of. She is a magnetic speaker and is a wonder ful young woman, and is a power for God. She concluded with this thought, "To give time, strength and thought to our girls who do not realize how much they owe to Christ." Her principal thought to the Y. W.A. was from Hebrew-6-1, "Let ns press on to Perfection." The afternoon session was occu pied with the Y. W. A., G. A., and the R. A. and they all formed an interesting part on the splendidly arranged program. The Batesburg Y.W.A. was plac ed on the Honor Roll.

Mrs. Hatcher took part on the program and her remarks were much appreciated and enjoyed.

Their Sons An swer the Call to the Colors. Wearers of blue and gray mareh together in loving proof that the Potomac no longer marks a divid ed nation. Washington to-day staged a spectacle for the world. Soldiers in Grajvwho fought for a sacred causa more than fifty years ugo were escorted by veterani in blue against whom they had fought with utmost bitterness through the heart of the nation's capital, which they had almost succeeded in captur ing by assault. Together they marched past the president of the l?nited States as living proof to the world that there is no North and South in the United States today: but one re-united country, thinking and acting together; so firmly established by their strife. The"Stars and Bars" of the Confederacy, and the "Stars and Stripes" of the Union tenderly carried, fell loving ly together when dipped in sulute as they passed the president. The same spirit that prompted them to do valiant service in defense of their homes and State rights in the CO's is still warm in the breast, was shown by numerous offers of serv ice showed to President Wilson as the veterans passed the review stand. "We will go to France or anywhere you want to send us," was the favorite cry. And another said: "Call on us, if the. boys can't do it." A sign attracted the President's attention beariog the in scription, "Dam a man who aint fer his country, right or wrong." Here was a hint to the world that as the veterans of the past fought with valor unsurpassed, so are their sons and grandsons to-day prepared and preparing to repel any affront to the nation or its flag. A stirring call to all sons of Confederate vet erans to prove themselves worthy sons of their neroic sires was made by ErneBt Baldwin of Roanoke, Va., commander-in-chief of the Sons. "I feel," he 6aid, "we should be unworthy of the heritage of our fathers did we not, with a single mind and a single voice, answer the call that comes to us at this period of our national history. It is a call for renewed spirit of patriotism, and warm co-operation with those into whose hands we have commit raited the welfare of our country." "We live in a fateful hour in the history of the world; autocracy and Mohammedianism are making their last stand before the triumphant march of Democracy and Chris tianity. That for which we now struggle was the morning star of hope in the breast of Washington; the shrine at which met Jefferson, Madison and Monroe; the goal sought for at this hour by the com mander-in-chief of our army and navy, a son of the South, now a citizen of the Kingdom of Man; a steady and sterling patriot, Wood row Wilson, the president of the United States. The South is ready to give its blood and ils treasure; the sons of the South will be found deep in the first line of defense on the battle front with the Stars and Stripes, by land and by sea. In pledging allegience to Old Glory, they will not be untrue to their fathers. That flag was baptized with Southern blood in the show ers of bullets of a battlefield with a solemn radiance ot national glory. This star-lit flag unfurled, and the magic of the Declaration of Inde pendence has beted the earth. J. Russell Wright, Seneca, S. C. Free of Charge.

The . Corner . Store The store that always says, That You My Altar. I have worshipped in churches and chapels; I've prayed in the busy street; I have sought my God and have found Him Where the waves of his ocean beat; I have knelt in the silent forest In the shade of some ancient tree; But the dearest of all my altars Was raised at my mother's knee. I have listened to God in his Temple; I've caught his voice in the crowd; I have heard him speak when the breakers Were booming long and loud; Where the winds play soft in the tree tops My Father has talked to me; But I never have heard him clearer Than I did at my mother's knee. The things in my life that are worthy Were born in my mother's breast, And breathed into mine by the magic Of the love her life expressed. The years that have brought me to manhood Have taken her far from me; But memory keeps me from straying Too far from my mother's knee. God, make me the man of her vision And purge me of selfishness! God, keep me true to her standards And help me to live f*o bless! God, hallow the holy impress Of the days that used to be, And keep me a pilgrim forever To the shrine at my mother's keen! -The Christian Herald.
