THE END IS NOT YET
"Met procession in the dark on oui way home. Men going -up to the firingline. Full kit; even officers. Many callad' out to us 'Good-night,'. and somo 'Good-bye.'" "Mary Booth's Diary" ("With the British Expeditionary Force in France.") For many it was the lone farewell. No,words written about the war make a more moving human document than that line: "many called out to us 'Goodnight," and some 'Good-bye.'" Some day there will be an en d to the suffering and the dying in this war, but that end is not now. Some day there will be an end to the giving, but.that end is not now. . ; Our lads -are giving themselves for you. 1 Give for inem of your store to-day!
