The Unwariike Pitcher.
He was sitting in a dugout and his toes

And his spine was wet and cammy where

And the shells were shooting DER him with
a weird and ghostly cry

days gone by.

is coming back. Back where?
Now that we remember it. Joe was sort

TITO a native Yankee who can still
remember old times the word
"religion" can hardly fail to sug-
waa+ the more or less willing habit
If listening to two long sermons every
Sunday and of saying your prayers
before you get into bed. There may
he some clergymen remaining in
America who still consider these two
habits as absolute essentials of godi-
ness. but to the American preachers
NOW In the war-zone religion has
coma to mean something vastly differ
ent and greater.
oh, these war parsons-hoW tney
have dropped the shackles OF comm
ing creeds; how they have revised
the simple philosophy Of Jesus-the
simple philosophy Of service to ones
brother man. have seen them under
heart-breaking circumstances over
here" and my faith in American
preachers has suddenly gone far
above par.
DISREGARD NON ESSENTIALS.
War has compelled them to slough
oR all on-essentials and persons,
dtglikes. The harmless pleasures that
back home they had magnihed into
sins they now overlook or even en-
courage they have seen tbs sacrifice

sits down among the soldiers in the
Y. M. G. A. huts, and smokes aud

thirty minutes with such a group of
young fellows and he will have them
pouring out their very souls to him.
THE SMOKING PROBLEM.
And about the smoking-how
dreadful how sinful it was back

CONSCIENCE TROUBLED.

Are these war parsons changing
the conscience of the men?
There is an Indian soldier who, if
he could, would answer from the
world beyond. That swarthy fellow
had had several talks with y. NJ.
G.. A. secretary about drinking and
had promised to quit, but suddenly
temptation had overcome him, and
when he awoke in the night he found
himself locked in the guard-house.
Stung by the thought that he had
disgraced his regiment, he broke out
Of his prison, obtained a gun, ran to
the trenches and out over No Mans
Land and the last that was seen of
him in the gray dawn was his fight
inc a mighty battle with a mob of
Huns in the enemy's trenches. Only
in this way did he feel that he could
square himself with God and his regi-
ment.
. Whether the American church will
sink back after the war into it's quiet
ante bellum conservativeness and
smugness is yet to be seen. Whether
1t becomes once more the most dy-
manic force in civilization depends
upon It's ability to see and seize an
opportunity.
But whatever happens. those Of us
who have served in Europe shall ever
remember and revere the war psrson
as one who worshipped God by serv.
Ing men.

It is not by preaching but by slori-
Gus example that the parsons in
France are once more bringing reG-
gion into its own. 4 congregational
minister in a Y. M. G. A. hut near
the front line expressed it we'll when
he said, 81 have been preaching the
gospel for twenty years, but during
the last three months 7 have learned
far more about it in selling chewing
tobacco than during all those twenty
years in the pulpit"
DENOMINATIONS FORGOTTEN.
Denominationalism? It is forgot
ten. Recently Y. M. Q. A. secre-
tary, one of the most prominent Of
New England Presbyterian preachers,
walked seven miles to get q cruciflx
for a wounded Catholic soldier. An
other secretary, pastor of one of the
most fashionable Methodist churches
in Massachusetts, served without dis
elimination Catholic, Protestant and
Jew until, gassed and feverish, he
was compelled by the Association
manager of the district to go to a
hospital. But, even in this condition
he turned to me with a weak smile,
and declared, This is the life for
me! / wouldn't have missed it for
the world"
When the rector of one Of the larg-
est Episcopal churches in the South
serves month after month in a Gel
lar canteen in the side of a hill;
when a professor of theology walks
eight miles with a sixty-pound pack
of supplies on his back in order that
the boys with whom he lives in
chalk quarry may have tobacco and
sweets and magazines; when the
chaplain of an American university
chops wood and builds fires and heats
water for the soul-sick men returning
in the dark from the trenches, when
these things happen the most irreli-
xious of US must acknowledge that in
this hour of travail the spirit of Jesus
has returned to the world.
We can indeed fully agree with
raw Yankee trooper whose language
was more picturesque than select
when he exclaimed, II never thought
there was hell of lot in this Chris
tianity business, but damned il /
