they sin like children of nature
going astray like sheep. They are
innocent of the subtle artificial and
deceitful forms of sin that are Sc
common among church members
1t is strange indeed, that they have
not understood Christ.
Merely to be safe is a poor
business. To be alive fully, and
even furiously, is the great priv
ilege--the crown of our human
adventure. Hundreds of men at
the front found new dignity and
a new grim JOY in life just because
they were not safe. They were
going about a business which in
volved tremendous risks, and in
which self had to be forgotten al
together. And in that respect it
was finer life than any they had
known before
Tributes to the Troops.
Entire columns could be filled
with the tributes to the troops

Neville s. Talbot, in Thoughts On

there is not great revival of the
Christian religion at the front. Yet
am eager to acclaim the wonder
ful quality of spirit which men OF
our race display in this war, and to
claim it as Christian and God-in-
spring. Deep in their hearts is a
great trust and faith in God. 1t is
an inarticulate faith expressed in
deeds. The top levels, as it were,
of their consciousness, are much
filled with grumbling and foul Ian
guage and physical occupations :;
but beneath lie deep spiritual
springs, whence issue their cheer
fulness, stubbornness, patience,
generosity, humility and willing
ness to suffer and die. They de-
clare by what they are and do that
there is worth whieness in effort
and sacrifice.

Confessing that he never heard

rather noisy and self-conscious
Christians whom one also meets in
the army. a certain type OF re-
ligiouS experience seems to leave
men impressed by their own i'm
portance, and apt to take pleasure
in denouncing the sins of others.
Men OF this type can often tell to
an hour when they were saved, but
familiarity with their lives does not
always leave the observer quite so
sure that their dates are correct.
W hen a man declares that he and
ommy Jones and Bill Robertson

from ones and Robertson, but
rather doubtful about the speaker.

never been impressed by its cor

ture it makes no impressive appeal
That is the blunt truth"
A Square Look at Tommy"
Unusually vivid are Chaplain
Gray's pictures OF the average
Tommy; ut was, of course, a
breezy experience to live with
them. Most chaplains heard enough
swearing in week to keep their
hair on end for the rest of their
lives. Many of them learned price
less home-truths through talks with
the soldiers who were just drunk
enough to be confidential and un-
reserved. Those who were of the
pale young curate' type must have
been sadly shocked at the amount
of horseplay and rude speech they
witnessed. And if they were
shocked, Tommy probably took
care that they should witness plen-
ty more. Quiet batting of parsons
seems to be good sport.
These men have such splendid
virtues-all the more splendid be-
cause unconscious. They are hero
ically patient under horrible hard
ships, and even when they do
grouse they go on to do their
duty. They are brave with thar
high courage that means self for
getfulness. They swear at each 9TH
er like troopers, and yet treat
each other with the gentleness of
women when suffering comes.
They share their comforts after
the pattern of the early Christians.
They stick to their pals, and play |

mud, and aching in every muscle.
hey go on week after week endur-
ng the fate which has come upon
hem through muddles and in
rlgues in which they played no
art.
1T is hard to say about them
the mass that they are just sim
ers defying God. 1t is indeed flat
impossible. In many ways they
re SO near to Christ though they
o not know it. They bear each
theirs burdens, they rejoice ever
Iore (or very nearly so). They

larity, and love mercy. They are

would scarcely have proposed send

They seem tc think they have
purged themselves Of ali offense by
rising against their rulers, when
their rulers could no longer feed
them with the pleasant fruits OF
