A WAR INCIDENT RECALLED
Sir, —The following fact was thought of sufficient itnporitnce io publish in 1919, nine years ago. It can be no less so now, when we are informed that General Haig is dead: — “Rev. Samuel Chadwick, president of Hie Wesleyan Conference, speaking at a meeting of the Wesleyan Mission in Birmingham, said that “When the War Cabinet received Hpig’s message that the British Army had its back to the wall they sat in silence. A member of the Cabinet remarked, 'lt is heaven help us now.’ “The Primo Minister said, 'That’s where we are. Let us ask Heaven.’ For the first lime in British history a Cabinet meeting was turned into a prayer meeting.”—Dominion, 12-G-19. They did not need a revised prayer | hook. But (hat message from General Haig greatly helped to finish the Great War.—l am, etc., DAVID NIELD. 1
