BY CARL HOLLIDAY O a native Yankee who can still remember old times the word “religion” can hardly fail to sug- gest the more or less willing habit of listening to two long sermons every Bunday and of saying your prayers pefore you get into bed There may be some clergymen in America who still consider these two habits as absolute essentials of godli- ness, but to the American preachers pow in the war-zone religion has come to mean something vastly differ- ent and greater. Oh, these war parsons—how they have dropped the shackles of confin- ing creeds; how they have revised the simple philosophy of Jesus—the simple philosophy of service to one's brother man. 1 have seen them under heart-breaking clrcumstances ‘“over here,” and my faith in American preachers has suddenly gons far above par, DISREGARD NON - ESSENTIALS, ‘War bas compelled them to slough off all non-essentials and personsi dislikes.

In those in parson against which many a in his home puipit ghot his brimstone oratory, he now. gladly participates. He is hecoming what every should be—most engaging] One acts S t long ago a Y. M C. A. secretary met a Methodist preacher, also a secretary, going across a French field, with a baseball bat under one arm, a la bundle of cigarettes under the other, and a Bible sticking out of his pocket. The parson stopped, somewhat embar- rassed. “I don't Lnow,” “whether you will understand this It isn't quite orthodox, you know. I am id my congregation would not understand, and I know my bishop wouldn’t, but wehow (he dropped the bat and put his hand over his heart), somehow something in here tella me that if it jsn't orthodox it fs all right anyhow.” That preacber, going forth to man- age a ball game on Sunday afternoon. was keoplng more men In the right path in those three or four hours than poesibly in any equal number of years he stammered, Chaplain of American University Chops Wood, Builds Fires and Heats Water for Soul-sick Men Return- ing in the Dark from the Shell-racked Trenches. in his ministrs. And T think his hishop would have understood. T know one Lpiscopal bishop over here who gets out his big black pipe, sits down among the soldiers in the Y. M. C. A. huts, and smokes and talks for hours with them. Give him thirty minutes with such a group of voung fellows and he will have them pouring out their very souls to him. THE SMOKING PROBLEM. And about the smoking—how dreadful, how sinful it was back home! On the boat coming over, a fellow worker remonstrated loud and long with me about my enjoying large, fat, black cigars—or any other kind. “Do you not know,” be exclaimed, “that it sets a very bad example, and, besides, is very distasteful to those of us who do mot smoke?” Not that the boys do not care for sermons, [ have seen them crowded together upon the rough benches of the huts listening to a preacher with a reverence that I have seldom found in an American church, and on A Sunday when the sacrament is served and they kneel by scores ahout the rude platform that serves as altar, one is convinced that religlon is still a vital force in the hearts of the voung. But they want their sermons at opportune times and they want a real man behind the eermon, - Tt is not by preaching but by glori- ous example that the parsons in France are once more bringing reli- gion into its own. A congregational minister in a Y. M. C. A. hut near the front line expressed it well when be said, “I have been preaching the gospel for twenty years, but during the last three months I have learned far more about it in selling chewing tobscco than during all those twenty years in the pulpit.” DENOMINATIONS FORGOTTEN. Denominationalism? It is forgot- ten. Recently a Y. M. C. A. secre- tary, one of the most prominent of New England Presbyterian preachers, walked seven miles to get a crucifix for a wounded Catholic soldier. An- other secretary, pastor of one of the most_fashionable Methodist churches in Massachusetts, served without dis- crimination Catholic, Protestant and Jew until, gassed and feverish, he Wwas compelled by the Association manager of the district to go to a hospital. But, even in this condition be turned to me with a weak smile, and declared, “This is the life for me! I wouldn't have missed it for the world.” When the rector of one of the larg est Episcopal churches in the South serves month after month in a cel lar canteen in the side of a hill; when a professor of theology walks eight miles with a sixty-pound pack of supplies on his back in order that the boys with whom he lives in a chalk quarry may have tobacco and sweets and magazines; when the chaplain of an American university chops wood and builds fires and heats water for the soul-sick men returning in the dark from the trenches, when these things happen the most irreli- gious of us must acknowledge that in this hour of travail the spirit of Jesus has returned to the world. We can indeed fully agree with a raw Yankee trooper whose language was more picturesque than select when he exclaimed, “T never thought there was a hell of a lot in this Chris- tianity business, but damned if I don’t believe there is now.” CONSCIENCE TROUBLED. Are these war parsons the conscience of the men? There is an Indian soldier who, if he could, would answer from the world beyond. That swarthy fellow bad had several talks with a Y. M C. A. secretary about drinking and bad promised to quit, but suddenly temptation had overcome him, and when he awoke in the night he found himself locked in the guard-house. Stung by the thought that he had disgraced his Tegiment, he broke out of his prison, obtained a gun, ran to the trenches and out over No Man's Land and the last that was seen of him in the gray dawn was his fight- ing a mighty battle with a mob of Hunps in the enemy’s trenches. Only in this way did he feel that he could square himself with God and his regi- ment. ‘Whether the American church will sink back after the war into its quiet ante-bellum conservativeness and smugness is yet to be seen. Whether it becomes once more the most dy- namic foree in civilization depends upon its ability to see and seize an opportunity.
