LETTER FROM JACK CHAPPELL, ' SON JOHN HENRY CHAPPELL, | France, Dec. 9, 1918. Dear Father: I received your letter dated Xo-. vember 9. Was glad to hear from you, but was sorry to hear of your misforx tu:ae of losing your thumb. Was glad . to hear that the rest were well. The reason I did not send a permit home for a Christmas box was we J were too busy fighting the Germans at that time to write; in fact, we were more interested about winning the war by Christmas than we were, about Christmas boxes. Our losses were very heavy and 11 only wish our people at home could have seen how nobly our boys fought, and my greatest regret is that I can not bring them all home, heroes as they were?but alas, some will honor tie land of France by their bodies being buried there. We fought several hard battle, but the last one was our greatest loss. We went in that fight with two hundred men an dcame oat with only IS. ; One brave boy fell close to me, on 1 my right, but hollered, "Carry them Ooi-oroont " Tn o mAmont onnt'hor VU| AU U .iUVAUVllb uuvtuvi fell on my left and said, "Tell Dad his , boy died game," but thank God. he did not die, but will come back to 1 honor Newberry county. I was hit in that terrible battle eight times in! one day, but none did me any dam-i age, thank the Lord. What we went \ through was terrible, but we went1 over the top and won the fight. The next day I was recommended ; for an officer and was sent to a train- j ing school, and when the armistice < was signed the school broke up and Ij returned to my old and much loved! Company K, where I had rather be1 sergeant among men whom I knew to: be men than to be an officer with men that I did not know. \ Well, we all feel that we have done, our full duty and now we are coming1 home. Love to all home folks and enquiring friends. \ Affectionately your son, John MaxwTell Chappell. ! j ' i -llissionary Society Meeting. To Tlie^Herald and News.

Owing to the presence of two of our missionaries, Mrs. C. L. Brown and M?.ss Mary Lou Bowers the meeting was of more than usual interest. Miss Bowers was the leader of the occasion, and stressed the appropriateness of prayer and praise at the beginning of this new year in particular.

Mrs. Houseal read messages from the mission aries to this convention, and Mrs. Setzler and Mrs. Riser read articles from the Missionary Review of the World relative to the propriety of prayer and praise specially at this time. .Mrs. C. L. Brown gave an interesting account of the good done by the Christian homes of the missionaries, telling facts from her own experience in Japan. She showed how necessary it is that Christian homes should be multiplied there, noting particularly that the Japanese know no home of their own, a.s so many of their men have a plurality of wives and marriage is looked upon universally as a matter of business. not of love. The contrast to the Christian home is very striking. Then too, the only way that the heathen women can be reached is through the Christian home, for their husbands, as a rule, will not allow them to attend the Christian church, but do not object to'their visiting in the missionaries' homes. The wives often do this to learn foreign cooking, or sewing or embroidery, and the missionaries take advantage of the occasion to have a service following these lessons. Mrs. Harry Blease and Miss Bowers have been active securing funds by j private subscription towards a fund for a home in Japan for the single mis- j sionaries. Mrs. Blease read an inter-; octintr ronnrt <Hvine- namps of donors (few gave less than $10 each, and some , ir.uch more) stot :ig that $205 Iiad al- i ready been contributed.
