London, June.--A famous Bishop las endorsed the use, by the Rev. lani I.eland, a New York Methodist trcicher, of an exclamation rhyming | vith his first name. Of cours", the Bish qualified his endorsement. \. E. Hungerford, leader of th? Y. M. C. A. party of fifty seven secretaries who were on board the Oronsa when that vessel was torpedoed while nearing England, told the Bishop ihout the Rev. Sum's outburst. Three minutes after a British destroyer hid picked up the survivors of the Oronsa the preacher approached Hungerford and asked: "Can a man resign from the Y. M C. A. service at a time like this " Hungerford wondered, amazed, if ie had overeatimated the man. " to enlist in the army?" con luded Rev. Lcland.. "Of course you may," replied Hunrerford. "There is no higher duty or letter work anywhere than as a flghtng man in the army." "Damned if I don't," exclaimed the S'ew York preacher. When Hungerford told this to a famous English Bishop, the latter oublidy declared that not only w#> he language justified but was alisoutely necessary to meet the occasion Kailing to get into the army. Rev. [.eland volunteered for transport work to be exposed constantly to Li-boats and mines. ITALIAN NERVE Italy has given a demonstration >f cou.-r.gc which in not vet fully ar?reciuted or understood. While h'-r illies were worrying about her morale mil wondering whether she h iu the nerve anu the grit to stick ?l.is w.ii >ut to the end, she wan doing one of the greatest and bravest things iu .he history of the struggle. Although the knew that her enemies were prewiring a tremendous offensive against ler, although she know that a terrific itorm was about to break upon her head, she was sending thousands of ler troops away from her own soil 1o telp the French, British and Americans hold the western front. This is perhaps an even more iinuressive proof of Italian courage ,han the Italian victory itself. I'relumably it was by direction of General Foch, the Allied commander-inchief, whose authority extends over .he Italian contingents were brought ,o France some weeks ago. But the 'act that the Italian Government and people obeyed this order without hesiation and without a murmur is a nagnificcnt tribute to the Italian haracter. At such a time, with tho \iistrian threat growing ever darker ind with Venice already almost withn range of the hostile guns, it relumed a truly splendid spirit on the turf a f ?. v. wio imijuin ycupie 10 acquiesce in the sending of large Italian 'orce* out of the country.?The Charleston News and Courier.

" Ii SINGING SOLDIERS Jocelyn had always been patriotic, s< \fter that April night when the sol;mn word "War" flashed across the g :ountry her patriotism became a p laming thing that absorbed her body, nind and soul. She passed the Red c Cross courses; she was chairman of Ii \ committee to promote tho buying 0 0 >f Liberty bonds; she worked day ind night over the mobilization of o .a '.he college and club women of the j itate for war service. Doing all those tl things meant, of course, that she v :ould do less at home and that meant ^ hat Ellen had to do more. But Jocc-1 lyn reasoned it out logically that Ellen could not do committee things, ^ ind it was only fair for her to -lo the lome things and leave Jocelyn free. ^ In the last week of May Uncle David stopped over for two days on ^ bis way to Washington. Undo David ^ ?who was Maj. Knight to other people?was seventy-five, but still vigor- ^ >us and alert, as was proved by the Tact that the government had called ^ lim for advisory work. ( The nights he was there Jocelyn itaycd at home. There were many tilings she wanted to discuss with p Uncle David, and Homehow Uncle j David could not be drawn away from . the family. lie wanted to be with them all, every moment, he declared. Hut he would not have been with " Ellen very much if he had not followL'd her round. He laughingly told ? ler that it was harder to keep track jf her than of Stuart's men. that ic never should be able to, if it were not for hearing her sing. v "I only sing at things," said Ellen, >' .vith a laugh. "I feel sometimes as if c 1 ought to apologize to the music. It's n Jocelyn who has the voice. Only C she's too busy now, so I do it with >> the children. They alwnys have to ? sing America before they go to bed, w you know." d That night Douglass asked Uncle David about the bravest soldier he c back in the years. Then he smiled n nt Douglass. *1 "There were lots of them. And ^ besides, one never knows, really?so g many things have to be counted in a question of courage. Our cuptain, I' who fell at Lookout, was a glorious ? young fellow. We all adored him. Next to him we loved Singing Billy. ainging willy wan a mountaineer n and utterly untaught. He could not 1 read or write, but he could sing by ear anything he ever heard. Because n he was too ignorant for many things, ^ he always had the camp 'chores' to ^ rlo. No one ever heard him grumble. He used to sing as he worked. That's how he got his name. And gradually, hearing that singing, the grumblers E began to quit kicking. Presently'? Lhey'd whistle or hum themselves. He r 11fted the spirit of that whole com-. 1 pany.

Lafayette's pecond isijt to America was marked by many icidents of the conversational and I ^ eremonial kind; but there were J tc tany also of the informal sort. The ;c lharleston News tells of a pleasing indent that took place during his Lay in Columbia, South Carolina, there he was the guest of the Ran- ja olph family. I One day an old negro, neatly dress- f( d, culled and essayed to enter the q lansion. The armed sentinel at the oor denied him admittance at first; ' ut the old man persisted and finally uined his point. He went straight r> the room where the distinguished 'renchmnn was stunding and called Ut: H "Ah come to see Gen. Lafayette!" ? The general turned, looked at the 1 egro and remarked, "An old acuaintance. Don't tell me who he is." P The negro advanced toward the larquis and, bowing, said, "Howdy, lursc Lafayette! How yo, do, sah? f ro' 'member me?" "Yes," replied the marquis. "Stop; on't tell me your name. Ah, I have ,1 You are Pompey, bolong to Col. e< luchunan, the first servant who wuitd on me when I first came to Ame- r* ica. When I landed at Georgetown, ^ was taken first to the camp of Col. luchunan, neur there, and Pompey * ' raited on me," he said, as he warmly Cl look the old negro's hand. Lafayette called for a glass of w humpagnc with Pompey, which the jn itter drank with much dignity, Then ie old colored man put out his hund nd said: "Good-bye, Marse Lafayette! We m gittin' ol', and we won't meet no to'. God bless yo', sah!" They shook hands again ; then Pont- 1 ey went out, mounted his pony, < > nd started for his home near Winns- w oro.
