in mud and water to their necks.
He said the horrors of war are not
wounds and death, but dirt and filth
and mud.
In the beginning the trenches were
open sewers, but now they are
comparatively clean and habitable.
carrying heavy burdens and lack Of
sleep. AS the number Of soldiers in
the allied forces increase the boys are
able to get more rest and to save
their nerves from swapping.
when one reads the list of men
killed and wounded, don't grieve for
them" said the speaker The dead
are at last in the midst of peace and
quiet, and the wounded have real beds,
are clean and have the ministry OF
gentle hands.
The time most dreaded by the sol
diers is stand to- the hour just be
fore daylight Then 1t is that the en-
envy usually makes an attack and all
the men are Weakened and called to
their places in the trench line to wait
for daylight. When the men have
their rest periods outside the trenches,
they go into any sort of shelter from
a Cn1CheH coop u CuuiCl.
Soldiers Faithful.
Among the soldiers has been devel-
oped a religious faith and a nobility
of soul unknown to the men of 1914.
A new religion is coming out of this
war, a religion stripped Of cant and
hypocrisy and millions of men have
not died to perpetuate a world as it
was in 1914.
Treason to Dead Men.
Mr.. Pearson said: THE greatest
danger is that the people at home
shall get war weary and be tempted
by offers of peace.
ITO accept a compromise would be
treason to dead men; we should make
their sacrifice vain If we did less than
rid the earth of that mad wolf nation,
Germany.
For the comfort of mothers who
have given their sons to this war, l
would say a mother with dead SOL
der is more blessed than mother
with a. live Stacker for a SON"
He said that all soldiers hate war,
thew know that it Is vile and mean
and foul beyond words to describe.
But war must be killed by war and
war only can smash the awful war
machine of Germany.
