THAT WE MAY LIVE
History repeats itself! Tais
is tli* week which marks the
time of the greatest suffering
of man. for the greatest good.
Nearly two thousand years
ago, our Lord suffered the Ag
ony of "he Cross, that we might
live, and this 191b Passion Week
is marked by the greatest battle
in history.
Oar small minds cinnot con
ceive its immensity, or the ter
rible suffering entailed.
The news we get is very meagre
and often un-authentic: but we
do know that the final desperate
German offensive is on.
The Kaiser says that this is
the last German drive before
peace, and his men are advanc
ing en masse, to be mown down
like grass. The new prisoners
admit that all Germany’s skill
and men are being concentrated
on this drive.
The Allies suffer heavy losses
and the strain is great. At this
moment twenty seven British
divieions are holding back nine

Think of the work the Field
Service of the Red Gross is doing
this week. In constant attend
ance on the wounded since Sat
urday last, and for what?
For what are the soldiers dy
ing in tens of thsusands, and
being wounded in hundreds oi
thousands?
That we may live!
Are we doing our part to help
them in return?
It is sad to s '0 the passing ol
the Indian One succumbed this
we k to the worst e lemy of their
race — tubeiculo. is.
Their pitiful existence toda.s
is an ugly contrast to that ol
^twenty years ago, when they
hunted, trapped and fished in
their own domains.
Now, deprived even of fish
since the advent of the salmon
canneries, they struggle for a
living till finally overcome by the
diseases the white man brought
to their country.
Go back to the simple life,
be contented with simple food
simple pleasures, simple clothes
Work hard, pray hard, play
hard. Work, eat, recreate anc
sleep. Do it all courageously
We have a victory to win
