Certainly the war gave chaplains a splendid opportunity of bearing witness to the power of Christ.

A great deal has been written about the religion of the men at the front.

Some have spoken of it in terms of exaggerated optimism, as though by the miracle of the war men had become beings of angelic outlook and temper.

Others have taken a despairing attitude, and thought that religion has lost its real power over the world.

The truth is, I think, that there was a revelation to most men, in a broad way, of a mysterious soul life within, and of a huge responsibility to an infinite and eternal Being above.
