There Is one magnificent difference, afTIoiig others, between the Jkmsrican Legion of today and that Legion of C. Julius Caes ar’s day. No one In the lattef out fit knew more _ than a cohort or !? ^ \ j two •' of private soldiers and ordi nary officers by their first names. The American Le gion has a man who knows thou sands of his Le gionnaires by their favorite nick names. But Caesar’s host* didn’t have any national adjutants to speak of. Legion posts are established in practically ev^ry community in the United States and Legionnaires have carried their flag into 20 foreign coun tries. In every one of these far : flung 11,000 posts there are one or more men who know Lemuel Bolles. -Mr. Bolles, then, knows them. Ever since the Legion was organized in France Mr. Bolles has been identified with It. Since Its first convention In Minneapo lis in 1919 be has been national ad jutant, and as such he has met per sonally or corresponded with thou sands of Legion men and women. His duties have taken him Into almost all the 48 states during these three years, and he receives a thousand of so let ters each week. He has. without doubt, the largest personal acquaintance with men of anna ever enjoyed by any In dividual since armies were-Invented. Mr. Bolles was born In Minneapolis, grew up un the ranges of tbe iHiko- I taa and was established In Brattle, ! Wash., when he entered active svrvlea f«w the World war.

To Hear the Word at Uod’a Mouth. The source of hla message wa* God’* Word. So today the minis ter is to get his message from God. 2. Sound the Warning (v. .17). After he heard God's message he was to speak It out. The same duty upon • the.minister today, (’uses in point for ids guidance (vv. 18-21): (1) When God says to the wicked “Thou shall surely die” (v. 18), und the watchman fulls to warn him, the wicked man ahull die in Ids iniquity, but ids blood shall he required at the watchman’s hand. (2) If the watchman warn the wick ed and the warning is unheeded (v. 19), the wicked man shall perish, hut the wutehman has delivered ids tfoul. (3) When a righteous man turns to do iniquity and God gives him over to stumbling hi ids own sin, ids past seeming righteousness will he of no avail, but ids blood will he required at the Land of the watchman if he fall to warn him (v. 20). * (4). If tlie watchman so warns the righteous man.that he fall not into sin, tlie man shall he saved and the watch man hath delivered his soul.
