Of the founder of the McAll Mission
addressed the members Of the local
branch Of the mission. He recently
returned from France. where ne
served both with the Y. NJ. {. A ana
with the Red Cross. His services
with the Red Cross were in connec-
ton with his work as a member OF
the "Populaire EvangeiQue Mis-
stone" The mission is supported part

branch.
The speaker had for his topic

how it had worked hand in hand with

instrumental in the success OF the
Red Cross in that country.

G. A. If you can think Of a stronger
and better prospect than that for our
mission YOU will have to think a long
time The Y. M. c. A. has been an
important factor in UNFOLDING the
spiritual and physical welfare Of the
BOYS over there. [ have been MOTTO
ing them, and [ can bear witness to
the fact that there is nothing Of
more importance to the boys than the
huts. It has been the thing to go
before the rifle and the army as a
moral safeguard. Your army is in
safe hands in its huts.
II remember the last Sunday in the
rear before our two first regiments
went into the first line trenches. Tho
men assem- bled in a triangle; 500
men were grouped there. On one side
q Catholic chaplain was saying the
last mass for some Of the boys. Or
the other sides were baptismS Of mer
of the Baptist and gregationalis
faiths. And this was the way our boy:
adopted for spending their last sun
day before they went to set their bap

trenches to do their duty.
After a brief lecture, the speaker
| showed stereopticon views of Part
