The writer was profoundly impress- j ed when visiting the military camp at j Valcartier by the grand work being j done among the soldiers by the j Young Men's Christian Association, j Never in the history of war has any ; single organization met the needs of j soldiers as this one is doing. This let- ! ter from M. Sherwood Eddy conveys j some conception of the beneficent and , helpful work being carried on at every camp where .soldiers are found. He writes : We are in the midst of a long tour through the camps of soldiers in Britain Britain and France. We have been working working seven days a week, holding meetings meetings for the soldiers every evening, with small group meetings and interviews.; interviews.; with the men during the day. Let me try and give you an idea of the work by a glimpse at the meeting last night. The great wooden hut is filled with men from end to end, a thousand tired soldiers after their hard day's drilling, with parades, the storming of trenches, bayonet .work and physical exercise. The poorest excuse a man can give is to>^lame society for his own shortcomings shortcomings . Two hundred machine gunners have just poured into the hut, after a hard day's march. They have gathered at the piano and are singing songs of home. "Tipperary" is dead, it has sung itself out, but new songs are taking its place, such as "Keep the Home Fires Burning"; "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Own Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile," etc.; songs of home, mother and "the girl I left behind me": these arç the war songs of the British soldier to-day. Indeed these men are not soldiers. They are a nation in arms. These quiet boys from the farm and city do not like the war, but every man is ready to take his place, to live or die; while the womanhood womanhood of Britain has risen in self- forgetful service for tile country. At one énd of the hut one hundred men are buying tea, coffee and refreshments refreshments at the lunch counter. A couple of hundred are at the writing tables, buried in their letters, their thoughts far away in the old home and oblivious oblivious to the roar of the music and the MADAM LAPLANTE • 85 St. Rose St., Montreal. April 4th.. "For over two years I was slçk and miserable. I suffered from constant Headaches, and had Palpitation of the Heart so badly that I feared I would die. There seemed to be a lump in my stomach and the Constipation was dreadful. I suffered from Pain in the Pack and Kidney Disease. I was treated by a physician for a year and a half and he did me no good at all. I tried " Fruit-a-tives " as a last resort. After using three boxes, I was greatly improved and twelve boxes made me well. Now I can work all cj^y and there are no Headaches, no Palpitation, no Heart Trouble, no Constipation, no Pain or Kidney Trouble and I feel like a new being--and it was "Fruit-a-tlVes" that gave me back my health".

Everyone represents a heartbroken mother or a grieving'home, and millions millions are scanning the columns daily to see if their boy's name is there.

I hold up a gold half sovereign. "Who will take me at my word and ask for a gift ? " At last a man rises up, there is a little scene, and then a burst of applause as the man gets the coin and goes to his seat. "Now why didn't you come ? Some of you didn't believe me, some were ashamed to come up before everybody and ask for it, some were just waiting, waiting, but you lost your chance. Once again I offer a gift. oHere is something something more valuable than all the gold on earth, heaven to be had for the asking}'; the free gift of God is eternal life. Why don't you come ? The same three reasons. Some of you don't believe,. believe,. sqme are afraid to show their colors, some are just waiting. You will start for the front to-morrow to take your plaçe ,in the trenches.

Every night during the next two months I shall be facing these throngs of men, and the nearer they get to the trenches the more earnest and sober they are. Will you not pray that there may be a mighty outpouring of God's spirit in this hour not only of national but world need, and that thousands upon thousands thousands may be won for Christ during these days of tragic need and oppor- : tunity ?

Somehow these men must be gripped and held to the last. "Boys, what was the greatest battle of the war ?" we ask. "Was it the brave stand of little Belgium at Liege? Was it the great retreat of the little British army from Mons? Was it the battle of the Marne, when the French and British struck their first blow? Was it the great stand at Ypres, the defence of Verdun, or the drive of the Somme? What was your hardest battle ? Is it not inside, the fight with passion ? Now is the time to challenge every sin that weakens weakens a man or the nation. Boys, how about drink? Is it"a friend or foe? How about gambling ? I was watching watching you at your game this afternoon." We have had them forty minutes now and every man is listening for his life. We hold up the pledge card of the war roll. "How many of you are willing to take the stand against drink, gambling and impurity, breaking breaking away from sin, and sign the war roll, which says: T pledge my allegiance allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ as my Saviour and King, by God's help to fight His battles and bring victory to His Kingdom ?' Who will stand before before this whole crowd and sign today?" today?" Here and there all over the house men begin to rise. A hundred come forward to get cards and sign them. <f Now boys, let's stand for a closing prayer." Every head is bowed bowed and in the. stillness we pray for these boys, for they are mere lads, with ruddy cheeks, fresh from the farm or city,, streets, boys of eighteen and twenty.
