A new story of Field-Marshal Sir John French was recently told by an officer who served with him in the South African War. A young officer who was attached to General French's staff, being fresh to actual warfare, was. very fidgety, and was -always imagining a sudden attack by the Boers, whome he always referred referred to as "Bo-res.' ' General French on more than one occasion gentl\ r corrected his pronunciation, but without permanent effect. At last an occasion came when the young officer approached the general general to report that he could make out through his glasses at least twenty "Bores" hidden behind the rocks above the camp. " 'Bores,' you say 1 ?" inquired the general. "Yes, sir, 'Bores.' Gan 1 do anything, anything, -sir?" "Yes, don't add to them," was the reply. Here's One for You, Kitchener.

Mr. W, W. Lee went later, and .makes the seventh man there. The following correspondence 'will explain tlhe excellent service being given : From Mr. Harry Whiteman to Mr. Bishop, General Secretary ci the National Council, Toronto : H.M.T. "Scotian," Plymouth Harbor, Harbor, England, October 15, 1914. Dear Mr. Bishop : After a voyage of fourteen days, this- second and greatest Armada" of British -history has passed the rock- bound" shores o$ the Englklh Channel, Channel, and now lies anchored under the Plymouth fortifications. I am with the 12th. B attalion and the .men of the A.M.C. Corps attached attached to No. 2 Stationary Hospital. Hospital. The 12th Battalion I believe has the honor of being the most Dominion wide aggregation of troops in the whole contingent. In its. hanks are corps from P. E. Island, Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Ontario, and -a-s far west as Kootenay, B.C. Our G.O. is Col. McLeod from N.B., a man thoroughly in sympathy with cur work amongst the troops. I found that the Association work at V ale artier had made the letters Y.M.C.A. an open s-e-same to the hearts of the men on board. From the outset -they placed implicit trust in the Y.M.C.A. man. If a man wanted a sum of money sent home to -a widowed mother every month, or a cable despatched on landing, or in the event of anything being, lost, in every instance the Y.M.C.A. was made the clearing house by general general consent. Thus was I. made to realize in a very short time the responsibility responsibility of the work u-pon which I had entered, and the .high standard standard set by the work of the Vale artier artier ■Qamp. As soon as I was able to get my trunks and eases unpacked I distributed distributed magazines and . bo-cks aimongLit the men, also games of checkers and dominoes. Then with bulletin boards erected -at each end of the ship daily records were posted posted of the programme of work under our auspices. Twice- every* day I was posted at a certain point on the deck for the purpose of distributing distributing writing material. This was a great boon -to the men, and I believe believe took them altogether by surprise. surprise. They .could understand the Y.M.C.A. doing that kind of thing at the camp, b-ut it was altogether past 'their calculations that -the Association Association should follow them about the world to look after their needs. The most gratifying and .encouraging .encouraging work of all has been the personal personal touch with the men. I cannot cannot but feel after my experience with our soldier boys throughout the past eight weeks that this season season of war wil-1 be one of blessing to many of them. Thèy are ready to t-alk about the deeper things of life and their souls' salvation, and many are the quiet decisions for the Christian life • that are being made - during these days. Our song services services are crowded to the doors, and my Sunday afternoon Bible Class saw a group of earnest and (thoughtful (thoughtful men gathered.together to study a course in "The Manhood of the Master. " 1 We have been able to arrange some splendid concerts during the voyage, for we h-ave abundance of talent in our Battalion. We have to run two meetings nightly, because because no room on board is large enough to hold all our men, so we . have one fore and one aft. During the past 24 hours I have handled over 1,600 letters -collected from the officers and men for mailing, mailing, and a number of cablegrams for despatch. Throughout the voyage a fine programme programme of . sports was carried through under our auspices, affording affording much interest and amusement to both officers and men. The work has been full of.interest -and I thank God hourly 'that the honor land privilege has been accorded accorded me to have a part in it. Yours very • sincerely, (Sgd.)

Our men have attached themselves themselves to the men in charge of these centres and are co-operating with them in -their work. In every case I believe they h-ave been given charge of the nightly gospel service's, service's, concerts, etc. In addition our men are responsible for all the work outside the tent--looking up men in the lines, arranging for speakers and -singers, organizing football and base-ball leagues, etc. * I am the only Canadia.n representative representative at West Down South where the 2nd a-nd 3rd Brigades are quartered, quartered, at leait 12,000 men.

Gallio's failure to recognize recognize the greatness of Paul, to discern discern the significance of his work, and above all to manifest even a passing curiosity in the world shaking shaking religion which he was preaching, preaching, "has made his na-me," says Dean Farrar, "proverbial for indif- ferentism in the Christian." Gallio is the tv-D-e of man who doesn't care. trivial refinement of ritual worship. Only a fresh attempt to harry a man who was guilty.of no sin more heinous heinous than that of having some religious religious convictions of his own and daring daring to maintain them in the face of persecuting opposition.

And we read that "he drove them from the judgment scat," and, as we may add, left Paul free to go his way and to do his work. It is true that Gallio was .indifferent .indifferent But Indiff erent to What ?

For what were "these things" for which Gallio did not care 1 To what was.he so culpably indifferent ? If we read the story as it is told in Acts we will find that- Paul "bad been arrested on the charge of certain certain Jews, who claimed that he did not teach according to their Law. To us, looking.back upon the scene in t-he perspective of history, the whole destiny of Christianity, seems involved in this trial. But to Gallic, Gallic, looking down upon the raging Jews before him, it very rightly seemed to be nothing but another instance of that bitter sectarian spirit which was rife among . the Jews of that time and was constantly constantly bringing petty issues to the Roman Roman officials for judgment. Here was only a new quarrel over the exact exact letter of the Law and the last all true and lofty souls have ever been indifferent -- "words and names," and the dogmas of a sectarian sectarian fanaticism ! With "the weightier _matters of the law--justice, law--justice, rpercy and faith," Gallio was very deeply concerned, if we may trust the reports of him which have reached us from classic sources ; but for "tithes of mint and anise and cummin" and all similar absurdities absurdities he cared nothing. And he was right in so confining Vtie reaches of his sympathetic interest. Would that- there had been more Gallios in Paul's time ! Would that there were more Gallios to-day ! The world has ever need of men who can distinguish essentials from non- essentials, move on heights far removed removed from the -miasmas of sectarian sectarian bigotry and strife and confine their allegiance so exclusively to "the things that count" that they can care for "none of these (other) things." -- Rev.
