The times., 1899-06-11


In times of war, with large army in
active service. one might suppose that
there would be very little opportunity
for the incubation and growth of Chris
tian principles, particularly among the
officers and troops. Such. however, is
very far from being the case 1t has
been demonstrated. in many instances,
that when troops are actively engaged on
the field. and when sickness and death
invade the camps-whether as the result
OF the enemy bullets or from the all
ments peculiar to military campaigns
there is strong undercurrent of serious
thought among both officers and men,
which affords excellent opportunity for
turning their minds to spiritual things.
The rank and file of our Army contains not
only a goodly proportion of sound Chris
tian men, but many of the officers are
earnest believers. This has been made ap-
parent during the religious work in our
camps both at home and abroad during
the last twelve months. Chaplains, evan
gelists. and lay workers OF all denomina-
tions united in praise OF the Christian spir-
1t evinced by many OF the officers, as we'll
as by the men themselves; and this spir-
itual activity has been kept alive to large
extent among our troops in the West In
dies and the Philippines. Notwithstanding
the rough work upon which they were en-
gagged.
But IT is with the heads OF the Army that
We have to deal in the present instance,
as the imputation OF irreligion sin high
places" which is made by the intidels, aims
far above the rank and file Were we to
accept It. we would believe that the gen.
