'The English church army is doing
noble work in the war;" was the

have been established in all training
camps in England and Wales. On the
French front huts, tents and tempo
rary churches are provided. In all
more than 800 of these huts and tents
are in use; some In remote places in
the north for the>men of the navy;
others in Malta, Egypt, Palestine,
Macedonia, Mesopotamia, East Africa,
and even in India. Frequently last
letters have been written from these
huts, bearing the heading, Church.
Army Hut'-letters now treasured by
those at home. The bill for writing
paper alone is over 100000 a year.
"Close to the front line trenches
the church army keeps several kitch-
en- cars to supply the men with hot
coffee. In England hotels having all
the advantages of club are being
maintained, where men are cared for
during their furloughs. Prisoners in
the hands Of the Germans are also
cared for by the church army"
