"The war/ said dolonel ilclnnis. at Wanganui, "is a sad thing to Salvationists. We are against war; but there comes a time when a man must fight or sacrifice all that stands for honour, courage, and manhood. This war has produced such au occasion." But it was hard, because in the other trenches there were German Salvationist*;. They must obey orders, just a≤ the British did. The Colonel then brought tears to mauy eyes as he told how one English Salvationist found in Xo Man's Land a dying German who pleaded for water. The English 'boy gave the other out of his water-bottle, and -while doing so the German sa-w inside his helper's tunic the badge of the Salvation Army. His pves lighted up, and with difficulty lie turned back his own tunic, where was displayed the German badge of the Salvationists. The Englishman carried the other 'oaek to the British lines, and two hours later the stricken German passed away in his arms, murmuring: "I am going* home. Thank you very much for wour kindness."
