of the
Royal Field Artillery. He was a strong, red-cheeked six-footer,
winsome and good to look upon, the most popular man in his battery.
Away from home among bad companions he was swept off his feet and fell.
He has found Christ here among the prodigals in a far country. Before
leaving he came up to bid us good-by, saying, "I'm going out to warn
other men and to witness for Christ to the end of my days."

Here is M----, a young sergeant, who came up after the meeting, with
tears in his eyes. "Sir," he said, "I was never drunk but once in my
life, when my pals were home on leave, and that once, under the
influence of drink, I fell. Here I am in the hospital, yet I am
engaged to a little girl at home who is as white as snow. What is my
duty in the matter?" He has accepted Christ and is a changed man.

Oh, it is a wonderful sight to see men transformed by this inward moral
miracle, wrought by the touch of the living God. Here in the very
center of this venereal camp stands the Y M C A, endeavoring to meet
their every need, and even here the red triangle shines with the hope
of a new manhood for body, mind, and spirit. Every day at the hour of
opening there is a scurry of feet as the men rush in to the one center
in the whole camp where they can congregate. Martin Harvey has just
been here to cheer them up, and they were enthusiastic over a fine
lecture and recital last night on Chopin. The Colonel in command takes
particular pride in the Y M C A for his men, and states that crime
among them has been reduced ninety per cent since it started.

But even greater than the privilege which the Association has in
ministering to the fallen, is its work of prevention in the other
camps. Just up the road is a swearing old major in command of a unit
which has always had the worst record for immorality and disease of any
camp on the plain. He finally came in and demanded a Y M C A hut for
his men. A few weeks later he came to the Association headquarters and
said, in punctuated language which could not be printed, "For a year
and a half my camp has led all the rest as the worst in venereal
disease, with some twenty-five fresh cases every week. The first week
after the Y M C A was opened we had only ten cases, the next week six,
the third week only two, and it has not risen above that since. Your
Association is the ---- best cure for this evil."

Nothing less than reaching the whole man can meet this gigantic
