LETTER FROM FRONT Mrs, Copeland has received the following letter in reference to her son, who is "somewhere in France". June 19th, 1916. Dear Mrs. Copeland: I am taking the liberty of writing you a letter for the purpose of letting you know how your son is getting along. Ermine has been with me now for a long time and has developed into a first class Y. M. C. A, man, which means a great deal as. a Y. man at the front has to be a first class all-rcund man to make good. It is plainly to be seen that he has had an ideal home training, which after all is a foundation on which the success- ful Christian life should be based, and without which a boy has an uphill climb all his life. I feel that it will be a great joy for you to know that your son is such an influence for good, and he is developing a strong christian personality which can not but be felt by all with whom he is brought in contact, and the most beautiful part of it is, that he lives it in his every day life and that is what counts among soldier boys. In closing I would like to say that I have received congratulations from the military authorities, and also from the Y. M. C. A. headquarters on the success- ful way our work is being carried on and want to acknowledge that I owe the greater part of the success to your son for his untiring efforts and his de- votion to the cause, of serving our comrades. Hoping that he may long be spared to carry on the Christian work that he has so well started. I remain, Yours Sincerely En. B. ARCHIBALD.
