Everyman’s Hut

“This crust is My body', broken for Thee, - < , ' This water His blood that died on the Tree; _ The holy-Supper is kept, indeed, In whatso we share with another’s need, — Not what we give, but what we share, For the gift without the giver is bare: Who bestows himself with his alms feeds three— Himself, his hungering neighbour, and Me.”

The widow’s two mites earned far greater approval than the bountiful gift of the rich man. He had given of his plenty and had much left for himself she had given all she had, all on which her life depended — she had given herself. ‘The Lord lov‘eth

a cheerful giver,” and in the great need in the world to-day there is much opportunity for cheerful giving. Men are going forth, leaving homes and loved ones, leaving all that they have striven and worked for, going to face they know not what, going fo offer their lives for us at home, that we may still enjoy our present liberty. And what are we going to give in return?

At “Everyman’s Hut” we are endeavouring in some small measure to show our appreciation of what these men are doing for us, and in bidding welcome to a new draft, we give to each and all a warm . invitation to come along and make the Hut their home. As far as able we have sought to make it fill a need in the lives of the men, to make up a little of what they have given up when enter-

ing camp. The facilities of the Hut are there to be used, so come along and use them. Refreshments are available at a nominal charge and the staff and voluntary helpers are at your service. And remember, if there is any legitimate job you want doing, which the restrictions of camp life prevent you doing for yourself, just take it along to the Hut and, if it is possible to have it done, it will be done.
