MISSIONARY WORK BY THE SAIL-| SSION | } An Ineresting Report Is Submitted | By J. Bell, Superintendent -Of the | Missions--Preaching the. Gospel | Message. | The Sallor's Mission, which has! been an institution in Kingston for a number of vears, is still doing good work. Not only in Kingston, but up and down the Great Lakes, and it is, therefore, interesting to bave a re-| port from J. Bell, Superintendent, who writes as follows to the Whig: "There are fierce copflicts to-day on many battle filelds. On some of | these hang the destiny of nations, on | others the destiny of souls, and the! latter is of infinitely more importance than the former. | "How many we meet with here acknowledge defeat in the terrible! conflicts of the past years, and seem | almost hopeless as they look forward | to the future, fearing a repetition of | the past. '1 met a young man recently who was an opium slave. He had spent, two years in an African desert to be, beyond the reach of the drug, but the terrible craving still remained. | After he had confessed to his aceep- | tapge of Christ, with all his heart, | as his own personal Saviour, we told him that Christ was a mighty Deliv- erer for the body as well as the soul. We knelt together in prayer: and pleaded for deliverance, in simple faith, in the name of Jesus and as he rose from his knees he knew that de- liverance had come, but wondered if it would last. I met him again and it was the same story, with a strong- er faith, "Vietory through Christ". He called again with another young man and we had a talk about Israel's Messiah and never will I forget the zmile on those two Jewish faces as they left the room after confessing Christ as their Saviour. "Another case, a samp' ~ ia some respects of many more. 4 sailor who bad walked from Montreal, looking for work, called here and heard the Bospel message night after night. while looking around during the day for something to do. It was an old story for him, he had heard it from childhood in Scotland's favored land. He had often been told if he did not conquer the drink it would conquer him. He knew it and acknowledg- ed it, not only that it would do so but had deme it for twenty years, perhaps, and now he was a slave to dring, Instead of telling him to struggle on against his awful foe, before which he could not stand for a single day, 1 advised him to give it all up as a hopeless case, but if he would give himself fully of Christ he could not only trust Him for the sal- vation of his soul but for complete deliverance from the love of drink, as the Lord Jesus was a Saviour for the whole man. He went away and returned again after some time for one evening and said: 'I have never touched a, drop of liquor since, with seemed ai wonderful testimony to him, if not to others. "Dr. Torry told me of a man who came to him and said. 'I have accept- ed Christ but that craving for drink remains. I am not satisfied. What am I to do? Dr. Torry sald, 'You have received Clhirist and He saves your soul, but that is only half the gospel and you have come to the right place to get : the other half. Christ has not only died for me but He has risen again. Now trust the living Christ for complete deliveran- ce from all the power of the enemy and the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus shall make you free from the law of sin and death." That ' man obtained deliverance. "Early as it is in the season hun- dreds of free meals and free lodgings have been given here, for hard times is a terrible reality to some > of them.

"It is not all sunshine here, how- ever, as when work 4s obtained for them and that work not acceptable then we cannot go beyond the Word of God, and if a man will not work neither shall he eat." Perhaps, if on some future day we meet them, wrecks upon the sands of time, 1 wander if we will not ask ourselves question. "Did we do our best, our very best for them?" "We are thankful to the friends who have sent us literature from dif- ferent parts of the country, especial- ly to one gentleman in London who bas sent us 3,000 tracts and 580 co- pies of the gospel of John. This is an illustrated copy with hymns in the back and has been circulated among the soldiers as well as the sailors. If any of the soldiers have been missed in the distribution of these gospels and would like to have one, if they would call at "Snug Har- bor" we would be pleased to supply them with a copy."

In White Strange tales reached wus in the trenches, lumors raced up and down that 8300-mile line from Swit- zerland to the sea. We knew neith- er the source of them nor the truth of them. They came quickly, and they went quickly. Yet somehow 1 remember the very hour when George Casey turned to me with a queer look in his blue eyes, and asked if I had seen one Friend of the Wounded. And then he told me all he knew. After many o hat engagement a man in white had been seen bending over the wounded. Snipers sniped at him. Shells fell all around. Noth- ing had power to touch him. He was either heroic beyond all heroes, or he was something greater still. This mysterious one, whom "the French called the Comrade in White, seemed to be everywhere at onee. At Nancy, in the Argonne, at Soissons and Ypres, everywhere men were talking of him with hushed voices. But some laughed and said the trenches wefe telling on men's ner- ves. I, who was often reckless en- ough in my talk, éxclaimed that for me seeing was believing, and that 1 didn't expect any help but a German knife if I was found lying out there wounded. It 'was the next day that things got lively on this bit of the frent. Our big guns roared from sunrise to sun- set, and began again in the morning. At noon we got word to take the trenches in front of us. They were 200 yards away, and we weren't well started till we knew that the big guns failed in their work of prepara- tien. It needed a stout heart to go on, but not a man wavered. We had advanced 150 yards whem we found it was no good. Our captain called to us to take cover, and just then I was shot through both legs. By God's mercy I fell into a hole of some sort. I suppose I fainted, for when I opened my eyes I was all alone. The pain was horrible, but I didn't dare to move lest the Ger- mans should see me, for they were only fifty yards away, and I did not expect mercy. I was glad when the twilight came. There were men in my own company who would run any risk in the darkness if they thought a comrade was still alive. The night fell, and soon I heard a step, not stealthy, as I expected, but quiet and firm, as if neither dark- ness nor death could check those un- troubled feet. So little did I guess what was coming that, even when I ¥ of cases of headache, ee as the cause of headaches, bilious- » of tea and se you test the matter by a change to al substance in this delicious bevers of wholesome mo- saw the gleam of white in the dark- ness, I thought it was a peasant in a white smock, or perhaps a woman de- ranged. Suddenly, with a little shiver, of joy or of fear, I don't know which, I guessed that it was the Com- rade in White. And at that very moment the German rifles began to shoot. The bullets could scarcely miss such a target, for he flung out his arms as though in entreaty, and then drew them back till he stood like one of those wayside crosses that we saw so often as we marched through France. And he spoke. The words sounded familiar, but all I remember was the beginning: 'If thou hadst known," and the ending, 'but now they are hid from thine eyes.' And then he stooped and gathered me in- to his arms--me, the biggest man in the regiment--and carried me as if I had been a child. I must have fainted again, for I woke to consciousness in a little cave by a stream, and the Comrade in White was washing my wounds and binding them up. It seems foolish to say it, for I was in terrible pain, | but I was happier at that moment than ever I remember to have. been in all my life before. I can't explain it, but it seemed as if all my days I had been waiting fof this without knowing it. © As long as that hand touched me and those eyes pitied me I did not seem to care any more about sickness or health, about life or death. And while he swiftly re- moved every trace of blood and mire I felt as if my whole nature were be- ing washed, as if all the grime and soil of sin were going, and as if I were once more a little child. 1 suppose I slept, for when I awoke this feeling was gone. * I was a man, and I wanted to know what I could do for my friend to help him or to serve him. He was looking towards the stream, and his hands were clasp- ed in prayer; and then I saw that he too had been wounded. I could see as it were a shot-wound in his hand, and as he prayed a drop of blood ga- thered and fell to the ground. I cel out. I could not help it, for that wound of his seemed to me a more awful thing than any that bitter war had shown me. 'You are wounded too', I said faintly. Perhaps he heard me, per- haps it was the look on my face, but he answered gently. 'This is an old wound, but it has troubled me of late." And then I noticed sorrow- fully that the same cruel mark was on his feet. You will. wonder that I did not know sooner. I wonder myself. But it was only when I saw Hi? feet that I knew Him. - 'The Living Christ.'~I had heard the chaplain say it a few weeks be- fore, now I Knew that He had come to me--to me whe had put Him out of my life in the hot fever of my youth. I was longing to speak and to thank Him, but ne words came. - And then He rose swiftly, and said, 'Lie here to-day by the water. I will come for you to- morrow. I have work for you to do, and you will do it for me.' In a moment he was gone. And while I wait for Him I write this down that I may not lose the memory of it. I feel weak and lonely, and my pain increases, but I have His promise. I kndw that He will come for me to-morrow.--Life and Work. COMMENTS BY ZACCHEUS, Who Declares That the Great K. of Kis OK.
