come into this room for quiet meetings or private prayer, and here
small group prayer meetings and Bible classes are held.

Just outside the hut is a wide wooden platform which accommodates
several hundred men. There nearly a dozen different games are in full
swing, all at the same time. Each one is designed to help the patient
recover his health. Here are badminton, tennis, volley ball, indoor
baseball, quoits, deck billiards, bagatelle, ping-pong, and other
games. The front of this platform forms a grandstand for the cricket
field beyond.

Here for three nights we conducted meetings, with five or six hundred
men in attendance. More than a hundred men signed the decision cards
each night, and when asked it was found that one-third of them had made
the decision for the first time, about one-third of them were
back-sliders who had been living as Christians before the war but who
had gone down before temptation, while the remaining third had been
maintaining a consistent Christian life during the war.

In a second after-meeting in the Quiet Room one night, men from almost
every quarter of the globe spoke and gave testimony. Here was one poor
fellow who had come over after several years in the States. He had had
delirium tremens three times, and showed the effects of it on his face.
He had formerly been the center of the foul talk and vulgar language of
his tent. He had now come straight out for Christ and had boldly
witnessed for Him before the men. The second boy, the son of a
prominent officer in South Africa, arose under deep emotion. He had
been living a wild and reckless life and was known as the "Red Light
King." After his conversion, he went out and brought in another
comrade who openly decided for Christ. There were boys from Canada,
Australia, and England who followed, many of them with tragedies in
their past lives.

It is impossible to calculate the vast influences for good that have
been flowing from this hut to the thousands of men who pass through it.
The aim of the young Scotch minister who is the leader has been to make
it for all the men "a home away from home." The life in the army, with
its irksome toil, daily drill, cold and wet and mud, the horror of
battle and the pain of wounds, is all for the moment forgotten as the
men enter the place.

We tell the leader that we are taking this building as the model for
our new American camps. He says: "Large as this hut is, it is not
