here's the crux of the whole thing; do you believe that any of those men will go back to the old "Oh, what's the use' attitude? Will that man, do you believe, let the little, petty things Of life, jealousies, evils, preiudices, dis likes, and all that sort. of thing, rule his life after the "big things" he's been up against? Will those men ever be heard to say:

nerience which had called 1t forth stood out in the memory as unique. But in warfare so protracted as this, human nature has time to adapt it, self to such an extent that the once abnormal, becomes, in time, the ordi- nary. No man can look even. once, to the anguish of Christ, as an explanation or palliation of his own, and remain the same; the old indifference must be weak ened in it's Qualifications. Any man must be, however, unconscious of the fact, a better man for having even once turned to God in an agony of fear, remorse, or sorrow And with many this IS not unconscious often 1t underlies the ut terance of that password into any soi- dier's conversation, It makes man think, this here

 "Oh. what's the rse''
 Somehow those of US who were used to using this expression, forgot to use it during the busy WAT days; because we knew everything was of use; there were lots of things rut irto use, that had never before been regarded of any account; we saved anything and every thing that was suggested to us as being of some value or filling some need of our fighting men. Economies which had not been practiced since the days or cur grandmothers sprang into fashion; no one was ashamed to go without new clothes old ones were 6 mark of dis tinction it was a busy time: a happy time; because it was an unselfish time; nobody thought of 'grouching' about his own troubles; nobobdy thought of fighting the little, petty social fights, because there were so much bigger and more important fights to be fought; nobodX put personality above nation ality; and on account of the many homes with empty chairs and empty firesides, we grew more tender in speaking to those whom we still had with us; we grew more kind and thoughtful toward people VIC never had liked before, all on account of so many boys in khaki, who had gone into the service-those blessed. brave, fine boys
 No one thought of saying "Oh, whats the use of being kind?" or "Oh, what's the use of being loving?" or "Oh, whats the use of working so hard for others?
 To say those words was almost as bad as committing a crime; and anybody who was that foolish was "markedn'
 The blessed part of all this-the great good that has come out of the war is that people continue to live up to that attitude now that the war is over, thank God!
 There were many who believed that the war was meant to turn mems thoughts to religion, that out of a great evil, great good might come, but listen to what an English chaplain wrote back from the front; you'll see that the chap lain was not pessimist and yet could not believe that good would "slide out of evil like mince meat from machine. Under the caption of an article 'Tne Varying Effects. of War" he says:
 Abnormal oesurrences set man adrift from the ordinary channels or explanation and consolation. He dis covers in religion something which he never before felt conscious of peed1ns or capable of understanding. Tn that state of mind religion steadies and comforts him.
