All who have bojs at the front will

helpful and encouraging as well as full
of Interest Kor the puipose of the
author, I.nuchlin M Wntt, a noted

show America "what this vvai imkes for
men" With this end In view, he tells
bv nnny Incidents In tils work as chap
lain, of the Mildler in camp, the trench,
battlefield and hospital And his con
viction Is thnt "never wis an amn Ilka
tint which Is fighting for us today It
Is not the gathering of a ina'-s of pro
fessional fighters; it Is the assembling
of true men dedicated to win or dl
for the sake of the honor of Hod, the
liberty of the world, and the growth
of the soul of goodness" And he cime
In closo touch with the soldier from his
acting on the conviction that the aim
of the clnplaln is "to be the comrade
of all, friend of the wcar. helper of the
weak, and Ilght-brlnger In the dirk
hour, with officers nnd privates, a man's
man, because be Is Christ's man " Im
pressc also Is the tribute which he
pavs to the work, which Is Intel estlng
us nil at the present time "As long
as I Hie." he sas, "I shall lift mv hat
to the Hed Cros Tlvery man In khaki,
and every man that has been a soldier,
and everv soul that his a soldier bov
to love, should salute that svmbol which
speaks of love amid the hate and turmoil
of war."
His closing chapter Is nn conditions
after the war In which he sijs that
"the first question for the Church Is the
question of better homes Are the
homes of our land getting readv for the
returning of the men who have looked
life and death In tne face, and have
learned the big deep nbvsmal things
thnt are behind the facts of the pres
ent dav" Are the homes getting
