CHRISTMAS IN OUR CHURCHES.

Amidst the Ginning of bells, the
singing of carols, the greetings one to
the other, our churches ushered in the
Christmas of 1918 with the usual early
morning services, with special songs
rending the air in praise to the Pre-
server of all mankind for having
spared us to witness and celebrate an
other Xmas Day Our pulpiteers did
Justice to the Christmas theme of
Peace on earth, good will toward
men," while the choirs under special
training for this all-important event
burst forth in tones of music that
gave the finishing touches to the i'm
pressions on the blessings of yuletide.
While many families were undergo
ing bereavement yet they found solace
in joining once more in listening to
the proclamation in commemoration
of the Saviors birth. and then in the
absence of the usual reciprocal invi-
tations to dine, contented themselves
with the joy of the privilege of living
to see the day.
The special music sung on Christ
mas Day will be repeated tomorrow.

where wounded men from France
are treated. In one ward certain of
the patients who have had very SER
ious septic wounds. are having the
water treatment.
To look at these men you might
think they were lying comfortably in
bed, propped up with pillows. They
are really sitting in bath tubs in
water 10 their waists. A constant
stream of water with temperature
Of 9S is kept running through the
tub, purifying and cleansing the
wounds, which have no other dress
ing. \ kind of magnified lap-board
covers The top Of the tub and is in

guilt. hld there the men sit on air
cushions leaning against air pillows
day and night, sometimes for weeks
at a time. Only the most serious Of
the cases are put into these tubs,
men who otherwise have little chance
OF recovery and none without the
amputation Of a limb. But never yet
has case so treated been lost.
Its beastly uncomfortable the
first week" said the record case OF
the ward, British Tommy who has
for eleven weeks been in the bath.
Your legs ache. and you have the
water rash. But in a week, at the
most, you get over that, and then II
is more comfortable than being in
bed. In fact, after they put you
back in bed you can't sleep for
awhile. It's SO hard"
The American Y. NJ. c. A. has
been sending these men movies"
twice a week. A screen has been
arranged at one end of the room and
there all the screen favorites play
their parts while the men sit COM
fortably in their warm tubs. And
when the show is over all they have
to do is to turn out the lights and
go to sleep.
