CHAPLAIN'S EXPERIENCES.

LIFE AT THE FRONT. MAJOR LUXFORD'S WORK. [BY TELEGRAPH. —SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT] Wellington*, Wednesday. Writing from Gaba Tepe, on July 30, to the Rev. John Dawson, president of the Methodist Conference of New Zealand, Chaplain-Major J. A. Luxford, who has since been wounded and undergone the amputation of a leg, says:—"l am still on active service with the troops, and am experiencing all the horrors of war. At the same time I am sharing the comradeship of good soldiers and genial men. I have a sympathetic general, whom I love, and officers around me whose names will always recall happy memories. My work amongst the men I enjoy, and my health is so good that I am amazed. I feel no weariness or desire to have a furlough. Our hardest work is to come. The Dardanelles or the Narrows are only four miles away, but covering; these few miles will probably cost valuable lives by thousands, and take us through scenes that no pen can describe. May God in His goodness help us. " I am right in the heart of the battle, and every day I come in contact with the slain and wounded. I try to say the right words to the latter, and pray with comrades for God's peace to be with those who go through the dull cold agony of bereavement. Writing letters to the friends of those who were slain in April and the beginning of May is painful, because so few particulars are available. Now we can keep a correct record of all who are slain, with -particulars that friends appreciate. If the Church or friends could send me stationery for the men in the battle-line I should be grateful. The poor fellows hero are •without paper or envelopes."
