combat the activities OF the Catholic
Church, has cast aside all considera-

A WAR INCIDENT
PRIEST INTERPRETs WORDS OF
soLAcE or PROTESTANT MIN
lsTER TO GERMAN SOLDIER.

The Chicago Evening Post tells the
story of a beautiful incident which
took place at a British hospital:
A German prisoner lay dying Of his
wounds in a British base hospital. He
was Lutheran by faith, and a Prot
estant army chaplain sought to speak
the words Of religious consolation
that would make his passing easier.
But the chaplain did not know the
tongue Of Germany, and the wounded
foe could not understand English.
Near BY a French chaplain, a Catholic
priest. was ministering to one of his
own creed He came from the lost
provinces and spoke the language Of
the enemy as well as his own. Softly
he turned to the bedside OF the dying
prisoner and, kneeling beside III,
translated into his tongue the words
Of comfort spoken by his Protestant
colleague
Such is the spirit Of the front.
Creedal barriers no longer separate
men to whom service has become the
supreme ideal. Shall they separate
Us at home when we can help by
reaching hands across them?
