All the world is listening for what this transforming struggle may have to say upon life's varied phases. We instinctively know that more than the map of the world is being made over in this melting pot. Since the conflict is essentially spir- itual in its broader aspects, and since it represents a mighty soul-decision for every fighting wan, we are look- ing and listening most eagerly for what the war will have to say to man- kind concerning the things of religion. It is yet too early to know all. But the one great message has already sounded clearly. Anybody who knows anything about the life with the soldiers understands that they have come to honor the religion that is expressed in terms of ministry Some churchmen have been shocked at the ease with which the men in the trenches have let go their hold upon the usages and conventions of the churches, All our fine distinctions, which separate creed from creed, de- nonfination from denomination,church from church, have 'simply disappear- ed. No man in uniform in France cares a copper clacker about the indi: vidual characteristics which his home church boasted He left his sectari- anism, and many of his scruples, somewhere west of the Atlantic ocean. The newness of his state of mind con- cerning the details of his faith is hard for the home folk to grasp. Of deep, basic religious conviction he has more than ever Thgre is no cheap and cynical infidelity in the army. Men who are daily doing business with death, in comradeship with noble souls, do not scoff at the supreme re- alities, Discovering Anew an Old Truth. These men in khaki have learnec afresh, not knowing, usually, that they are but getting a new glimpse of first principles, the primary truth of tha teachings of Jesus, It has been brought to thém in two ways that the most religious . thing in the universe is to lay down one's life either in one act of superb sacrifice or by daily, commonplace' acts - of + service, - for somebody or something aside from self. This great idea first of all gleams before the soldier's eyes as he broods upon his own enlistment as a soldier. Rightly and significantly, he calls the military life a "Service." That great word is employed interchangeably for either army or navy. Every man in uniform "is in Service" Work be- hind the lines, either at /keeping books, unloading ships, building rail. ways, digging roads or erecting bar- racks, is called, in the American army, "the Service of Supplies." Fortitude for the great endurance of the past four years has been put into the hearts of our fighting men by the knowledge that they are engaged in a holy service of God and country and all mankind, As he comes definitely into touch with religion, in camp and on the field, the soldier finds it taking quite dif- ferent forms from those which he knew at home. In this new life reli- gion is synonymous with helpfulness. Chaplains and Y M. C. A. workers do little or no preaching. . They seem to assume that the soldier's religious knowledge and purposes may be taken for granted, and that he may be de- pended upon to interpret the real sig- nificance of what they are doing.

Chase's | the REDISCOVERY IN RELIGION By William T. Ellis. religion among the soldiers are filled with ministry. T'hey serve the men with stationery and stamps. They provide games, from checkers to baseball. They keep a supply of reading matter on hand. They run moving picture shows and boxing matches and a va- riety of other entertainments. In their canteens they supply the soldiers with the things he cannot get from the army; and when he goes into bat- tle they follow him with hot choco- late and other helps. If he cannot write, they pen his letters for him. When he is in the hospital, they visit him and do for him whatever service is in their power. Literally a hun- dred and one odd jobs are the major work of the representative of religion in the army. Salvation Army lassies at the front expreys their prayers in the form of pies; ' their gospel by goodies, All of this is a return to the way of Jesus, who "went about doing good," and who avowed that He was come "Not to be ministered unto but to minister." If the churches have imperceptibly come to stress services more than service, it is not because of their Gospel, but in spite of it. Re- ally, the Church should be a fellow- ship of helpers of men, of persons who are willing to lay down their lives in self-forgetting = ministry to anybody who may need them. It was in a moment of illumination that the church began to call her pastors, or shepherds, by the Jesus-name of ministers. Every true clergyman is above all else the chief servant of his community We stepped aside from the straight and narrow way when we began to speak! of them merely as preachers. Apostolic Christianity was a marvellous manifestation of self- forgetting service. Applying the Old Test. One night up at the very front, during a fierce battle, | spent an in- teresting hour with Chaplain Danker, the first American chaplain to lose his life in France. He had undergone a heavy day, including a visit to the trenches to arrange for the transport and identification of our slain. Even while we talked there came a call for his automobile, which he freely placed at the disposal of his brother officers. His life was an endless succession of tasks or ministry; and as he poured out his heart to me there was' a la- ment that he did not have more of a distinctively "religious' sort of work. When he tet himself consider his ac tivities, he longed, for more preach- ing and "spiritual" ministrations. Such was the conscientious sensitiveness of the man. As a simple matter lof fact, his tireless toil for the men of the regiment, in endless forms of h@lpful- ness, from mail to money, revealed his mission to them more than any words could do. - It was by the still unfin- ished grave of one of our dead, whom he had buried, that a member of the funeral detail recounted to me the courage and devotion of Chaplain Danker. - The French - Government honored him with the War Cross; and then he won what the soldiers call the "highest decoration, the wooden cross." Naturally, when the cables brought [the tragic news of Chaplain Danker's battlefield death, I thought of the praise that hel would win from his Lord. It would not be, "Well per- forme®,, O noble ecclesiastic;" nor "Well spdken, O eloquent orator," nor "Wel Iconducted, O learned ritualist," nor "Well drilled, O efficient officer;" but it would be *Well DONE, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Heaven's re- wards are for the doers of the deeds that make men think of Christ. The old, old test, applied by the Master himself, is this word that touches only helpfulness: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 3 Come to think of it, this has to be so. For any other test" would shat out most of us. If the divine favor were to be extended only to the elo- quent or the wise-or the powerful or the well-placed or the rich, most of us would be excluded. But since it is given to the doers of deeds, --the sam- ples enunterated being of 'the most in- conspicuous and bumble sort---we are all of us let in. Helping others is serving Christ. We do the will of Jesus when we minister to men. The way to go 'the limit in the service of our Lord is pointed out in the Gold- en Text of this lesson--""Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ," War-Work as Worship. Perhaps the common heart of man- kind has been quicker to comprehend the genius of ny than some who are responsible for the conduct of the churches. Instinctively, since the be- ginning of the war, devoted patriots have given themselves to doing things for the soldiers. = There is no ser- vice to lowly for the highest to per- form in behalf of the fighting men. is of mwinistry has fairly transformed Great Britain. There, as here, millions of hands are busily knitting for the men. ~ High-born la- dies, in all cf the allied countries, the uniform of the Red Cross and do work of station restaura- travelling troops. L don | i tegns. Colonials resident in London are regularly organized to take time fram their daily employ to meet the troop trains that bring in the Cang- dian and Ansac soldiers from France. Ineed, it is quite a disgrace in Great Britain for one not to be usefully em- ployed in some sort of war work. As I have looked upon this hervice in its {many forms, tears have started to my | eyes; for the scene has been more im- pressive than any cathedral service J ever attended. It is the exalted heat of a people following in the way of Jesus. This is the new cotiception of pa- triotism that is' raising the level of the life of the mations. We have learned the glory of service, the grandeur of laying all of our posses- sions and powers upon the altar of country and humanity We have given of our sons and of our sub- stance and of our selves, and yet we long for newer, better, and even more sacrificial ways of honoring our God in his great day. He that careth for the sick and the wounded, Watcheth not alone; There are three in the darkness to- gether, _ And the third is the Lord. --Henry VanDyke, Walking the Néw Way, By this path of ministry, this spirit of service, this heart of helpfulness the Church is yet tg follow her Lord into, the new day of social welfare which the war has opened before her feet. One needs no fuller equipment for social service than a passion to minister to men, unselfishly and un- known, in the spirit of Jesus. It is not so much a fresh programme that the Church is to have as a new spirit and a new .devotion, an ab- sorption in the mind of Jesus. This will make helpfulness free from self- consciousness, for it is impossible to be a good neighbor while thinking about one's own neighborliness. As a bequest of the war, we shall surely find the church of the néw era a min- istering body, in a large sphere, ani- mated by love and loyalty to Christ. There has just come to me from a missionary friend in India a letter telling of the work in his mission. It is wholly a recital of works of helpful- ness. He® gives some paragraphs to the great civic exhibition in the na- tive state of Gwalior, and to the Mis- sion's part therein, I quote some pas..ges "The Gwalior exhibition has just closed, and after it is all over it is said to have been the largest and most interesting on record in Central India. The North India Mission en- tered on a new era in mission work, for all the agricultural arrangements for the exhibition were in its hands. Mr. Griffin with his tractors actually plowing, his hirrows harrowing, his punips pumping, his fine crops of pedigreed wheat and grain, proved an attraction superior to the wrestling arena. Dr. Kenoyer in his beautiful research laboratory, with experiments of all kinds under way that the Indian charts, microscopes, and s€ed-testing, was more popular than the Indian juggler who makes the mango tree grow and bear fruit under a gunny ag. "Mrs. Wiser, with her demonstra- tions of fruit canning and vegetable preservation showing the people of India" cheap, sanitarv and easy way of savillg food, was much more popu- lar than 'the nautch-girl The Ma- harajah brought down the ladies of the palace to see and learn her meth- ods, As he was a mere man he could not go in under the conopy, which was kept strictly purdah. The fruit and vegetables were grown in the. palace gardens, the jars were made in the state pottery, common In- dian cooking vessels wege used and the little common Indian portable stoves gave the fire for cooking and sterilization. Thus "attention was drawn to the fact that India could do these things for herself, just as well as depend upon Eurcpe and America for preserved fruits and vegetables. A few days after Mrs. Wiser had shown the Ranis and Princesses how to can and put up food. the, Mahara- Mrs. Wiser how well they had learned their lessons. He wanted to be sure they got it right, as he will have to eat the things they put up. "Mr. Slater came over with a lot of his chickens from Etah to manage the poultry part of the exhibition. It was the best poultry show I have ever seen in India." And that is missions after the mod- ern mode--or ministry after the Jesus pattern.

London, Aug. 7--"Hold fast" was the keynote of a message to the Brit- ish Empire, issued by Picmier David Lloyd George and promulgated in a dramatic way throughout the king- dom last night.

Sealed copies of the message had been distributed fo the managers of all these places, with the request that they open and read it at 9 o'clock. The message follows: "The message which I send to the people of the British Empire on the fourth anniversary of their entry into the war is, 'Hold fast.'

London, Aug. 7.--Among the mi- nor worries of the Canadian soldier is the necessity of saluting officers. No one, of course, objects to dis- cipline of salute, but all welcome any change of the regulations which mo- dify what is at times an irksome duty. So the latest army order abol- ishing the left-hand salute comes as a crumb of comfort, Hitherto it has been the rule that a soldier should salute an officer with the hand farthest away from his su- perior; henceforth salutes will be given by all ranks with the right hand, This means that a soldier walking along the Strand, on leave, and meeting officers every few steps, is relteved of the necessity for con= stantly changing the handing of his stick or any parcel he may be carry- ing. We have seen Canadian and other soldiers in the course of a short walk along the Strand, obliged to keep both arms going like semaphores, be- cause, at certain times of the day,offi- cers appear on the sidewalk almost as thick as bees in a swarm. mpegs HAI IFAX HERALDS PROPOSAL.
