SERVICE
B.i Virginia Frazer Boyle
Service has always been a hard les
son for humanity to learn Perhaps
that was why the Son of Man silently
girded Mlmseir with a towel and
washed the disciples' feet. He did it
just at the time when those erstwhile
fishermen and tax gatherers were rais
ing the question as to who among
them would be the greatest in the
kingdom of heaven. To the unthinking
masses the word conveys only the sug
gestion of humility; to the humanita
rian. the truest test of Christianity;
to the lover of his country, the noblest
significance of patriotism.
The military camps of the United
States are swarming today with our
khaki-clad boys, eager to prove that
patriotism. Some of them are now
“over there” behind the French and
British lines ready to shed their blood
—to give their lives, if need be, that
liberty and freedom may still mean
what they spell. But muffled in your
fur-lined overcoat, bowling along in
your high-power limousine, what are
you doing—how are you serving? It
isn't the other fellow’s war; it’s your
war—our war. Of course, your son
is in camp, or will be in the next draft,
or is already “over there.” Maybe he
volunteered; but that isn’t you! You
haven’t had any meatless or wheatless
days, and your “business as usual,”
doubled since the boy has gone, isn’t
your helping to win the war. The boy’s
glory will be his own. You can't wear
it at second-hand. Who ever heard of
a second-hand glory crown? “Too old
to serve?” Not a bit. We have mil
lions of khaki men for the front, but
there are billions of soldiers, without
the khaki, at home whose service is
needed to help win in this war. None
is too old or too young to aid in bring
ing the victory. That old mother, up
in Ohio, 98 years old, who has knitted
ten pairs of trench socks, is wearing
the Uniform of the United States on
the inside and answering roll call
right. Those “girls of the sixties”
knitting and making Red Cross pa
jamas down In the South are making
the cause of liberty stronger every
day. That 11-year-old boy in Memphis.
Tenn., who spread his own flag over
a little table in a bank lobby and sold
over a million dollars’ worth of Lib
erty bonds, did as much in his way
to win as the man in the trenches.
There’s a patriot in a rolling chair in
a home for incurables that you can
take off your hat to. He can only
use a thumb of one hand and two fin
gers of the other, yet he learned to
knit a hospital scrub, and, with tears •
in his eyes, he thanked God that he
was able to do something for his coun
try. Impertinent kind of talk, is it
No; merely strong. You needn’t un
lock your big safe and take out those
Liberty bonds; even a German knows
they are a good investment. And
those canceled checks for the Y. M.
C. A. and the war library and the Red
Cross and the ambulances in France
and Italy you’re able to show. They’ve
called upon yo upretty lively, haven’t
they? But you’ve been calling on your
country every day that you have lived.
You called upon her to mother you
when you were a boy. You called
UDon her boastfully when vou first felt
that you were a man. You called upon
her to protect you in your enterprises
when you went into business. You
called upon you pretty lively, haven't
make your fortune, and you made it
right here in this blessed land of free
dom. Oh! it isn’t enough that you !
can show a handful of canceled
checks; that you have given one, two,
or even three boys to keep your
mother country without blemish.
You’ve got to give yourself—you’ve got
to feel it on the inside. You’ve got to
let it enter into your soul until the
place is holy with the bigness of it.
You’ve got to set it up next to your
God and live it and be it until we
have won this war for the liberty and
the freedom of nations!
