IT was with a feeling of great relief that we re­ceived the words of our Commanding Officer

to roll our pacfes and be prepared to leave within twenty minutes. Those twenty minutes were, for those of us who had anticipated the ordier and had been prepared long before daybreak, the longest any of us had ever experienced. Having been in the army long enough-to know that an order could be recalled as easily as it was launched, sort of got our “ wind up,’ ; an ex­pression much used in our outfit. But the much dreaded order of recall was not given, and eventually our hike to the boat began.

Two weeks later, having listened to many an entreaty asking that the Kaiser might send his entire navy out to sink us without a minute's delay, and on the other hand to many new and original methods of torture for that same Kaiser, most of which were eternal boat rides on rough waters, we landed at Berkenhead, England. The day was dark and dreary, merely a sample of what we endured for many months following.

B y this time we were all primed for about a week of unbroken slumber. I am sure the authorities suspected as much, for instead of our slumber we received another night of travel and to top it all a hike of seven miles. I have often thought about that hike and the numerous and different methods of torture which were sug­gested for that “ B ig Chief,” the Kaiser. Many wished him a million lives and supplied an equal number of deaths, each one outdoing the other in frightfulness. Others, not as vicious, thought merely to make him hike with us, for being as tired as we were, would have been punishment enough. But i t ’s this banter and joshing that pulled us through on many a long hike. One

must not forget the singing, which perhaps is the greatest “ fatigue forgetter” to which the soldier has access. To others perhaps this singing sounds much like the strains of an old, cracked and worn phonograph. But our goal is noise, exhaust pipe fashion. We care little what others think.

Camps were occupied and vacated with as little thought, it seemed, as the wanderer spends in thinking about his next meal or bis next bed. One soon becomes accustomed to breaking up housekeeping and bunkies can rig up a new home in short order.

It was shortly after getting “ over” that I had my first experience in flying. Never will I for­get with what doubts and misgivings I stepped into that “ ship.” But all doubts and fears soon left me, only to be replaced by a feeling of ex­citement mingled with that of utmost joy. It was truly a pleasant sensation. The pilot was in a good humor and thus had no desire to try out the machine’s numerous side lines. Our course took us over a village and several castles, all of which are numerous over there. To view a castle from above is fully as wonderful as see­ing it from the ground. The court-yards, dun­geon towers, peaks and flat parts can be taken in at a glance. But for ordinary sight seeing an automobile is far more practical.

My second trip was of a much different nature. The pilot surely must have had a bad night, for he headed up as straight as the machine would pull to the height of twelve thousand feet, then, deciding that he was high enough, came down in a succession of loops, looping seven times with­out an intermission. It' was that time only throughout my flying that I became a bit dizzy.

38 T H E C O M E N I A N

When diving from a height of several thousand1 feet in a direct dive, I never did rid myself of a peculiar sensation in the lower regions, but it was not a dizziness, moreso a feeling as of evacu­ation. But, those are all sensations that help to add to the enjoyment of the thing. Perhaps it would be best to cease my idle ramlblings, as far as flying is concerned1, but I cannot desist from relating one more of the experiences I had, for which I was envied very much by the remainder of our outfit. It was a foggy, rainy, altogether disagreeable morning, but as flying very seldom ceases, no matter what the weather, we went up as usual. After getting up we both decided that target practice was out of the question on ac­count of the fog lying over the lake, which con­tained our target. The pilot, in place of target practice, decided to brush up on make landings. Landings were made in good shape for a while, but we had not as yet made the last one. In coming down to land the machine is not to be straightened out until it is about three feet from the ground, from which height it is allowed to sort of settle. This time a dense fog had settled close to the ground and we were unable to see the ground. We could see the top of the hangars, so a guess was made as to the depth of the fog. It proved to be a poor guess for we straightened out too soon and consequently had several yards too many to settle through. We landed with a thud, bounced quite a distance into the air, and came down with a crash, nose first. We crawled out and, looking over the crash, found the longest piece that was left of a four-bladed propeller to be five inches. The wings on the port side were completely demolished, the tail pointed toward the clouds, as if to accuse them of it all. “ Crashes,” as these falls are called, are very frequent, but as they are usually fatal to the pilot and his passenger, we were considered very fortunate in having come out in good shape, and consequently envied on account of our additional experience. I have seen six ships come down in one hour and five minutes time, all being fatal to the occupants. The public may wonder why men will persist in going up in “ ships,” but every crash' addjs to the desire in a flier to conquer completely this wonderful invention of man.

I t ’s high time to leave England, with its air­

planes, wonderful scenery and the never-to-be- forgotten undesirable climate. Tents were never made to withstand such weather. One morning we were told to have everything in readiness for departure on the next morning. Not a murmur of our destination. The English, who are a far- seeing race, thought it best to collect their blankets, immediately. We had been given an issue of these on ou rarrival at that camp. This left us with but three comparatively thin blan­kets for the night. Sleep with but three blankets on the bare ground was impossible, as it is fairly cold over there. The majority of the fellows built fires in the company street and hugged them all night. My bunkie and I had an' idea that the ever-to-be-relied-on “ Y ” man might be able to help us out. We were corerct in our sur­mise, for he offered us his two tables to lie on and even insisted on sitting up all night in order to keep the fire in his stove in full swing. The tables in the first place were a luxury and having a fire in addition was positively unheard of. We slept better than we had for many a night.

Our journey began early next morning, but our destination was not known until we landed that evening in Liverpool. We were then fairly certain of being homeward bound. We were happy beyond control, but our troubles were not at yet at an end. Several days later we stood at five fifteen a.m. with packs on our backs, at the entrance to the camp in Liverpool, in the act of vacating it. It was raining as it only can rain in England. Our overcoats, suits and all protect­ing overseas caps were soaked in short order. It was eleven o ’clock when I was able again to crawl under a bit of shelter, the rain never having ceased a minute in all that time. A t two in the afternoon we boarded the “ Mauretania” and the end of all our troubles and tribulations was near. The voyage was a very stormy one and there were few among the well, but one heard no en­treaties for submarines and German navies.

It was the beginning of the end of the biggest adventure man ever went out on. The end of many months of army life was in view, and I was again about to go into the world, and enter with many thousands of others a different kind of battle;

A r t h u r l . l i m b a c h , Ex-Col., t s , hasbeen awarded the Italian "War Cross for

excellent work and special bravery on the Italian Front. Limbach is a member of the Port Wash­ington, Ohio, Moravian Church. He came to M. C. in the F a ll of 1914, and was a member of the first Freshman class to enter the rebuilt Oomenius Hall. He had a craving for Oberlin College which could not be satisfied. In fact he tried to enter Oberlin before he came to Mora­vian, but was not sufficiently prepared. Through the leniency of dear old Dr. Schultze, he ob­tained the required number of units to be en­rolled as a Freshman at M. C.

The following year Limbach went to Oberlin, entered the Sophomore class, made the varsity debating team and in many other ways proved the value of his year at Moravian. He enlisted in the U. S. Ambulance Corps and was stationed at Allentown for nearly a year, during which time he made frequent visits to M. C. The Ober­lin Unit of the U. S. A. A. C. was sent to Italy and the Oberlin Alumni Magazine gives an ac­count of what has happened' in the meantime. The following is an extract of a communication received by the Oberlin authorities, from an Italian officer in high command:

In the action in which the 70th Division, First Army Corps, 12th International Army, was en­gaged in the zone known as Tomba-Monfenera, from October 20 to October 30, this Sanitary Section evacuated 1269 wounded. The trans­portation by hand and by stretcher was especi­ally difficult because of the mountainous zone and of the heavy fire of the enemy. Not less difficult was the work performed by . the auto­mobile detachment assigned to said section, com­posed of four Italian machines with the per­sonnel assigned: to it, and of Section 587, U. S. Arm y Ambulance Service, with twelve machines,

under the vigilant inspection of Major T. V. Boyd, and commanded by Captain C. C. Moore.

# # #

The work to be done by the auto ambulances required an uncommon ability, the roads being mountainous and very difficult and crowded with troops, trucks and guns; and being under the direct fire of the artillery of the enemy. In some places, as at Fener, the roads were exposed to rifle and machine-gun fire.

Furthermore, the service required special physical resistance, and an uncommon spirit of sacrifice because the wounded were coming day and night, continuously, so that. the work was absolutely incessant and continuous. In this the Americans distinguished themselves, being abso­lutely indefatigable, full of enthusiasm, careful with the wounded, and very attentive to their duties. They did not want to be second to their Italian brothers of the automobile section, and refused to accept their very short rest in order to be ready at every call.

We have the honor to bring to notice the fact that the first automobile which had the honor to enter the redeemed territory at Fener was the American auto-ambulance driven by Private Arthur L. Limbach, who was one of those who distinguished himself the most.

These Headquarters asks the honor to call your attention to the following men, who are considered worthy of special citation and reward for their indefatigable activities and very noble conduct and for having been especially under the enemy’s fire:

Private Arthur L. Limbach,Private Harold S. Marvin,Private George A. Roose,

assisted by the interpreter of the Second Sec­tion, Soldate Lattanzi Yite, who was indefatig­able and praiseworthy.

40 T H E C O M E N I A N

These Headquarters have the honor to bring to your attention the fact that in compliance with orders from the high command of the Di­vision, it has proposed Major T. Y . Boyd, Cap­tain C. C. Mloore, and all of the men of the Sec­tion for the awarding of the Italian Cross for Merit in War, for services rendered during the fight, so that our American Brothers may bring back to their country, together with the war

ribbon, the gratitude of the Italian brothers, who were wounded in behalf of the high com­mon ideal.

The Captain Surgeon, Commander of 2nd Sanitary Section,

TH E institution of the Students’ Army Train­ing Corps here at M. C. necessitated a com­

plete change in nearly every detail. About the only thing that remained unchanged was the regular chapel service. But of special interest is the revolution that took place in the dining room.

A t first there was a general “ first come, first served” arrangement. It mattered not that a Freshman sat beside a Theolog. Soon a more orderly plan followed out. The Theologs and other non-combatants were put at the table known in former years as the Theolog Table. The Lieutenants occupied the places of honor on either side of the Resident Professor. There was also a Non-commissioned Officers’ Table, where the Sergeants and Corporals gloried in the dis­tinctions afforded them by their rank. The only drawback with this table was that it had to serve as a model for the rest. Military inspection in­cludes absolutely everything pertaining to a human being. The occupants of the table with the dirtiest table-cloth were held up for public disgrace from time to time. Woe to the un­fortunate private who spilled the coffee.

Now with the end of the military regime, the arrangement of tables according to classes, a time-worn custom at M. C., has gone into effect. This may not seem at all extraordinary or even worth mentioning, but to the Theologues it was a matter of more or less interest. The question was, who would be honored by a seat at the Pro­fessor’s Table. There was a good deal of banter as to who the select few would be. The first mid­

day meal after the close of the Christmas Recess decided the question. Of the eight taking the seminary course, three were left out in the cold.

No theological student fu lly deserves his “ B.D. ’ ’ unless he has occupied a seat at the Resident Profesisor’s Table for at least a year. This is an essential part of his education and training. He must lay aside the improprieties of his Sopho­more days, which sometimes stick to him even when he is a Senior. The bread is to be passed and not dealt like cards.

But associations are the most valuable assets derived from a seat at table number one. In the classroom the student meets his professors on a professional basis only. Most people have two natures and this is especially true of college pro­fessors. In the classroom they are crabbed, ex­acting and sometimes veritable slave-drivers. But outside of the classroom-—aye, how many college men know what they are outside of the classrooms ? How many know the human side of the men whose teachings influence their thought and action to so wide an extent? There should be more intercourse between student and pro­fessor, not as teacher and- pupil, but as man to man.

Fortunately, the three Theologues spoken of above are only in the Junior class, so they may yet have the chance to grace the Resident Pro­fessor’s Table.

J6urte0 Greasure “ Pesky Pete” was dead! He had been- con­

sidered a miser, and his few relatives had waited a long time for him to cross the “ great divide.”

T H E C O M E N I A N 41

“ Pesky Pete” had lived in a small shaek on the outskirts of the city for five years. He did. not have many friends, and loved solitude. Now that he was dead, few people mourned for him.

When his scanty belongings were divided, a large book came into the possession of his nephew, “ Jim .” “ J im ” was'not overjoyed with his share of the inheritance and threw the book on a shelf in his room. A few weeks later, “ B ill,” J im ’s chum, asked him what he had in­herited from his uncle. Jim showed him the book. ‘ ‘ B ill took the hook and looked at some of the pictures. On the back of one he found a map of ‘ ‘ Pesky’s Ranch, ’ ’ as the old man had called the small plot of ground where his shack was built. Below the map in the hermit’s peculiar scrawl was written: “ When the moon is full, go to the north-west corner of my “ Ranch” and dig where the shadow of the corner-post crosses the path at two o ’clock. Gold” —but here the page was torn off and the piece was not in the book.

“ Here is your fortune, Jim ,” said Bill, “ all you have to do is wait until full moon and then go and dig. I am sure your uncle has buried his money there.”

The two friends could hardily wait until full moon. The time for the moon to be full came but it rained all week and the two treasure hunters were disappointed. Another month passed. The treasure hunters were on the spot early. The time dragged. Would two o ’clock never come? Finally, the-shadow of the post crossed the path. Both began to dig at that spot.

A fter digging for a short time, J im ’s spade struck metal. ‘ ‘ I have found it, ’ ’ he cried. They dug faster and were both greatly excited. Soon they unearthed a large iron pot. ‘ ‘ The treasure! ’ ’ both exclaimed. They pried off the lid and found—a gallon ju g of ‘ ‘ Gold Drip Whiskey. ’ ’

OF COURSE you have all heard of the ex­istence of necessary evils. We call them

necessary, I suppose, because a vacuum would otherwise exist at certain- junctures of our sojourn here, the results of which would be more disastrous than- the evil itself. So it is that we

resign ourselves stoically to being kidded along every other “ whipstitch.” (With apologies to Grimes.)

That very ingenious contrivance, commonly known as an alarm cloek, plays an important part in the irregular life of the inmates of Comenius Hall, although universally acknowl­edged to be classed among the necessary evils. Occasionally this invention departs from its regular daily routine of attempting to rouse some “ night-hawk” (who has a half dozen sub­jects to prepare for in an hour before breakfast) and goes on extra duty in a classroom.

A t such times when it is called upon to demon­strate its vocal ability in a classroom, great care is taken that the alarm will be on the job, the aforesaid alarm belonging to one of the biggest of the “ B ig Bens.” Were those instances less rare when some unsophisticated being is guilty of allowing one of those innocent mechanisms the luxury of inhabiting a classroom, one might be tempted to infer that “ bolshevism” were creep­ing into our realm.

It seems like the irony of fate to have the in­fernal thing accomplish its purpose with the greatest degree of efficiency in a place where it is considerad a non-essential, while on the other hand all its effort and remonstrance is in vain at the bedside of one who, having become “ accli­mated,” slumbers peacefully on, or of another whose spirit is willing, but whose flesh is most discouraging weak. It is rumored that there are certain persons who like to be entertained and have their desires gratified, so each morning when their faithful servant has only just fairly begun in the discharge of its duty, a long arm cautiously silences any further attempt to dis­turb. The remaining moments (before a more urgent call, which may either be for breakfast, chapel, or Latin class) are thoroughly enjoyed, because they are stolen. We also have several light sleepers in our midst who find the rythm of an alarm clock disconcerting—although the Ingersolls under their pillows are quite as capable of producing a healthy sound. Fortu­nately, they are blest with roommates who are very accommodating, which has led one victim

M o r ,& Two of the most noteworthyJfellOW Sbtp movements of recent years,

which have gained an added impetus of late, through the problems faced and apportunities of unlimited service presented and forcibly driven home during the war, are the movement toward church unity among Protes­tant denominations, and that of the evangeliza­tion of the world in this generation1. The two movements are so inter-related, that the measure of success which will attend the spreading of the gospel to the ends of the earth in this generation, depends to a significant degree on the united' and conscientious effort of the Protestant evangelical churches in America.

The Federal Council o f Churches of Christ in America, which has been representing a united

Protestantism on the urgent national war-time questions, has undoubtedly cemented the fellow­ship of the denominations for greater, practical, democratic service in the time immediately ahead. Through it the churches of cities and villages are annually being bound together in more efficient service, eliminating an unjustified waste of money, energy and resources, and be­coming a source of good to an indefinitely larger number of people. A similar federation of the Protestant Churches of Bethlehem is soon to be effected.

It will not be found necessary, for any man to abandon a conviction in order to put an end to denominational differences, but such a result will only be secured when one church recognizes the other’s sincerity, and that grace is one, although its means are many. Aside from the minimizing of differences, a great practical good will issue from harmonious and unified effort on the part of the churches in the stemming of the tide of evil forces. When the spirit of toleration has become one of friendly co-operation, then the strongly intrenched pagan, pleasure-seeking and indifferent multitude can be met on more of an equal basis.

There is an ever-growing conviction that Christianity cannot conquer the paganism of Christian lands and the heathenism, of distant nations, except it be through a union of the churches here at home. This is a task for men of unshaken purpose and noble souls, a task in whieh young men with vision of world service will be needed, a task in which the great and eternal truths will alone be the channels for the spread of His kingdom.

A most encouraging step toward having the gospel message presented to all the non-Christian nations of the earth is that of the launching of a simultaneous missionary drive by all the Protes­tant evangelical churches of America, the pur­pose of which is “ the raising of sufficient funds for equipment and support of all foreign mission work.” The student world has been given a very definite share in this great undertaking. It is hoped that each institution will make itself responsible for a certain clearly defined project which concerns the education o f students in other lands. Surely, we in our own denomination have

T H E C O M E N I A N 43

some object worthy of our support and1 one in which our interest can be centered.

In preparation for such a definite part in the promotion of world brotherhood we may find in­spiration in a quotation from President Wilson’s Thanksgiving Day Proclamation: “ A new day shines about us, in which our hearts take courage and look forward with new hope and greater duties. While we render thanks for all these things, let us not forget to seek Divine guidance in the performance of those duties, and Divine mercy and forgiveness from all errors of act or purpose, and pray that in all that we do we shall strengthen the ties! of friendship and mutual re­spect upon which we must assist to build the new structure of peace, and good-will among the nations.” c. j . h .

Our former professor, Dr. S. XT birthing H. Gapp, made the following

remark to one of his classes in Logic: “ Even though you forget all the logic you hope to learn, if the study of logic has taught you how to think, you will have acquired that in­trinsic power which is the fundamental aim of all education.”

“ There they go, all fools,” were the words uttered by Thomas Carlyle, that famous old Scotch philosopher, as he gazed from a window at the throng surging up and down a busy Lon­don street. And even though this startling re­mark may brand Carlyle as somewhat of a cynic —in the opinion of many people—it unfortu­nately contains more truth than poetry. Real, genuine thinkers are few and far between. Good thinkers—so called—are scarce enough, and men who only use their heads for a hat-rack represent an overwhelming majority.

Naturally enough there are reasons for all this. Our modern factory system allows the ordinary workman little initiative of his own. For example, in the Ford plant, one man does one thing and nothing else. He learns how to do that one thing and soon becomes a mere machine. It cannot be expected that such a man develop his powers of thought to a great extent, yet it can be done. There are many instances of men who. have risen from the bottom of the ladder through just such channels. But then, on the

other hand, there are men who are woefully lacking in what is known as “ Common Horse Sense.” It is really pathetic what difficulties some men will wrestle with, when a little com-

The first thought suggested is JBoofeS the relation which books sus­

tain to the human mind. Books supply the mind with the material for thought. They are a necessity. That the mind may work, it must have material on which to work. I f it is to grow, it must have nourishing mental food.

What books to select is the problem which confronts and ofttim.es perplexes every indi­vidual. In our day the material is so abundant and so varied that the task of choosing the cor­rect books to read becomes very complex.

Act in the same manner as you would in choosing a friend or a number of companions. Let there be a high aim in view. Then let your personal taste direct you. Books are useless unless they provoke and stimulate thought. That book is to be valued most which frequently com­pels the reader to close it, shut his eyes, and ears as well, and impels the mind to reflect in wonder and delight on some new thought. The best book invariably challenges the reader’s attention and calls out his force of concentrated1 application.

In our libraries we have preserved for us the inspiration of departed days. Here we have the fossil thoughts of the different eras and ages of the world’s mental and moral history. Here may we read the .prominent features of each cycle of the literary and religious age.

When we undertake to tell to another the re­sults of our reading some solitary, some original thought must start in our life. It brings into play a new order of faculties, gives a firmer grasp to the writer’s meaning and condenses what had formerly been hazy into solidity.

Men, by reading good books, have entered upon new paths of living and well doing. They have blessed where before they were indifferent. I f “ a thing of beauty is a joy forever,” a good book is a source of benefit for all time.

mon sense will solve their problems in less time and with half the amount of labor. So many blunders and mistakes are traceable to unthink­ingness.

“ To exercise the mind” is the first difinition of the verb “ to think.” Physical exercise is not of much value unless the body perspires, and mental exercise is useless unless the brain “ sweats.” Brain-work requires a stronger con­stitution, more energy, and consequently more relaxation than any other form of labor. This is the reason why thinking men are in the minority. People of this generation have no inclination to make their brains work—work so hard and long that sheer exhaustion follows. I f as much atten­tion were paid to genuine brain-work in our colleges as to athletics, there would not be such a crying need of thinkers.

Thinking is not mere reflection. It is the means by which success is achieved. A trained thinker will meet and solve problems that engulf the average man. The world needs thinking men, men who have developed their powers of concentration and thought, and also by thus do­ing have increased their fund of good sense. The world is full of fools as Carlyle intimated. The average public school graduate cannot be blamed for not thinking, because what are most public school teachers but a set of hair-brained girls who take up the teaching profession merely as a matrimonial agency ? 0r,; as one professor puts it, “ A mobile mob of maidens meditating matrimony.” I f teaching were only entered up­on as a life work, as a definite profession, the per-

eentage of thinkers would not be so ridiculously low. We can be devoutly thankful that in our American colleges we have trained thinkers, men who have taken up teaching as a profession, and who are devoting their lives to the great task of molding character and producing men—think­ing mien, who will he the leaders o f our nation. More devotion to duty, more good, solid, honest, hard work, should he the slogan of college' men for the year 1919. And only when this ideal is realized will the need of trained thinkers be fully supplied. w. h . a .

©boatsEvery noteworthy building should have its

ghost story so that it may have an air of mystery to strangers. Comenius Hall has a ghost story, though many people do not know about it.

About a year ago mysterious noises were heard on the fourth floor. A tbeologue was the first man to report them. And who is there to doubt the word of a theologue ?

Our friend, the ghost, had the habit of walk­ing a few steps, then fly a short distance and again resume his walk. Sometimes this would happen early in the eyening and sometimes late at night. This noise was very distressing to the men who tried to study immediately below the spot of the ghost’s activities.

Several searching parties tried to catch the ghost. One was led by the House-Vater, but the ghost always escaped. Several persons were suspected of being this ghost, hut no one could prove any connection.

School closed last Spring without anyone dis­covering who the ghost really was. Some of last year’s men did not return. Others did. Is the ghost among the ones who returned? No one can tell until it again sees fit to show its presence. Perhaps after it has become reconciled to college life, it will again perform the “ Ghost W alk.”

One night one of the fellows saw something on the fire-escape, but he only saw a foot. He was probably dreaming, for who has ever seen one

T H E C O M E N I A N 47

foot roaming about by itself. But from that time he took a bayonet to bed with him as a means of defense if he should again see the spectre. An­other chap who probably saw the ghost (after spending the evening in Phillipsburg) mistook it for someone else and startled his room-mate from his sleep by shouting, ‘ ‘ 0, my darling! ’ ’

Frequently noises are heard on the fire-escape, but these noises are probably, made by Romeos whose wrist watches were not properly regulated and on returning found the back door locked. What sensible ghost would create a disturbance on a cold fire-escape when it could enjoy itself in a large warm building like Comenius Hall?

We have with us two men who have the detect­ing instinct and are taking a course of study in detective work. I f the ghost again dares to haunt the halls of M. C., we will -soon end its career with the aid of these two famous crimi­nologists.

In th e h a lf h our th a t Mr. Ostrom spoke, he crow ded a volum e o f in form ation about Ja p a n and: th e Ja p a n e se nation.

Ja p a n is the g reat pow er o f the Orient.
