The ahbmances a clear way leaving

crowds, the men with their hats off,
while the ambulances pass. Women

The King George hospital was built
to be government printing Office and
was nearing completion when the war
broke out. 1t mas been made a para
disc for convalescent men. The bare
ness and the sick suggestion and char
acteristic smell, so to speak, of the
average hospital are unknown here.
There are soft lights and comfortable
beds and pretty women going about
as visitors. The stage beauties and
comedians come to entertain us. The
food is delicious, and the chief thought
of every one seems to be to show the
inmates what comfortable and CHEEKY
thing it is to be i'll among lot of real
friends. l was there from December
until February, and my recollections
of the stay are so pleasant that some
times l wish was back.
On the Friday before Christmas
there was a concert in our ward
Among the artists who entertained us
were Fay Compton, Gertrude Elliott
(sister of Maxine ELLIOTT, George
Robe and other stars OF the London
stage. After our protracted stay in
the trenches and our long absence
from all the civilized forms of amuse-
ment the affair seemed TO us the most
wonderful show ever given. And in
some ways it was. For instance, in
the most entertaining of dramatic ex-
hibitions did you ever see the lady
artists go around and reward enthu-
siaEtic applause with kisses? Well,

to say that it was Miss Compton who
conferred this honor upon me.
At about three o'clock on that after
noon, when we were all having a good
time, one of the orderlies threw open
the door of the ward and announced
in a loud voice that his majesty the
king was coming in. We could not
have been more surprised If some one
had thrown in Mills bomb. Almost
Immediately the king walked in, ac-
companied by number of aids. They
were all in service uniforms, the king
having little in the style of his uni
form to distinguish him from the 9TH
ers. He walked around, presenting
each patient with copy of Queen
Mary's Gift Book" an artistic little
volume, with pictures and short stories
by the most famous of English artists
and writer's. When he neared my bed
he turned to one of the nurses and in

HEBREWS AFTER PROPERTY
To Buy PenteeostaI Church, Instead of Building Synagogue.

Negotiations are being conducted by the Hebrew congregation of this city for the purchase of the Pentecostal church, Elm street. The dea! has ad- yanced to the point where only an in considerable difference over price is delaying the consummation of the trans action.
 Some time ago the Hebrew residents of this city decided to build a syna- gogue and acquired a site for the pur- post. The high cost of labor and ma terials, however, led to reconsideration and the opening of negotiations for the purchase of the Pentecostal church, which was formerly the Episcopal church
 The Pentecostal church is larger than is required to meet the needs of the congregation in this city. This church was given to the denomination by the late George A. Morse and is held in the name of board of trustees. There is however, no legal bar, to the sale of the property and the use of the money thus obtained for acquiring other smaller. and less expensive maintained quarters for the Pentecostal people.
