We're dead. The sergeant was the only
living man i'm the trench.
But from the right of the trench
came the clatter of French machine

the sergeant made his way in the di-

ieurs-Gving at this time-made signs
to him to approach, and soon he was
among them.
Then he learned what had happened
The trench had been taken i'm the flank
and raked by an enfiladiug fire which
compelled all who escaped the first
storm of shot to take refuge in the
right extremity of the trench which
bent backwards i'm elbow form. Hence
the survivors could rake their own
trench with their machine guns.

NO PRAYERS FOR

ONDON. Eng. Jan. 23.-Dr. William
Carnegie. canon of Westminster,
H. has announced to his parisbioners
that he would not comply with the re-
auest that had been made of him to
pray FOR the success of British arms
He said: Among the things which 1
hold should not be prayed for-Imen-
ton it with great hesitation, but feel
it to be my duty. since it is set forth in
the seventh section of the authorized
FORMS the triumph of our. cause. We
hold that our cause is righteous, but
our foes are equally convinced that
righteousness is on their side. God is
the Judge and we must pray for sub
mission to his Will, whatever be the
issue"
No Prayers For Animals.
The movement of animal lovers to
introduce a special prayer for animals
into the service also has no support in
the higher clergy. if at all in the clergy
of the English church.
"I cannot sanction for use i'm church
t he Litany which contains a prayer for
the animals and speaks of them as Of
fering their Euileless lives" says Dr.
Gore, bishop of oxford. 1T has never
been the custom of the church to pray
for any other thing than those we
think are rational 1t is a complete
mistake to suppose the orthodox
churches would counteuance any such
prayers. We can. Of course. pray for
men that they may be kind TO animals
