MILITARY CHAPLAIN'S DUTY
SUPERVISION OF THE CAMPS. By Tolegra-Ph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Oct. 10. Special reference was made at the Baptist Union Conference to-day to the appointment of military chaplains. It was pointed out by the Rev. C. M. Duncumb that it was possible to have men going into camps who were totally opposed to the spirit of the camps. “There is,” he said, “a delicate situation in operation in the camps.” Ho praised the supervision in training camps, where the commanding officers were doing their best to stamp out anything undesirable. He wished to stress the need of officers' who are sympathetic, rather than to have men who might be excellent in other directions, but not in sympathy with military work.
