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. !

last Monday with a full attendance.
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

she attended in New* York. 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-;
