It is also the intention to raise all those possible to A of both the Band C men already with the colors, "Pinched" We thank all those WhO sent us re- mittances on subscriptions in response to notices sent out about three weeks ago.

Nearer to the Boys An Interview with Ralph Conner ISy rt:TEn td.Arrriiitra When I we: told the if I Went to d tort:do olit, it tel a eet lain home 1 tomtit have the 1111 acre of ineetiee the let v. Chfirhg; (Ralph tenon), I (11.C(4/11(1 With jay. I wanted to ne him for two reaeoue. I wanted to meet him because he is our nmet di .1 itiguielied Canadian novelist, and also because in my boyhood I wriggled on hard, un- compromising bencher., listening to the same stern ministers that he "sat under," I lindlietened to them in loth Gaelic and English, and wonderetflf he would have a fellow- feeline for ono who had gone threuel, tie ,I.IC 1 0Y1 sh d'N pf•riellet... As inyeerei neesloolin ought nie early lo the place of appointment, T had a few minutes to weit, and fell to wondering what 110 would lel lit e. lei, consciottely I associated him with those old-time Free Kirk ministers and won- dered if he would be like the Rev, john Ross, of Brucelield, or the P.ev. Lachlan MacPherson, of East Williams. Se my surprise was coiniagte when a 1,1E1. man in khaki unifoon s,tcpped into the room Ile did not leek enough those obi ministcre to make my have come into my mouth with terror as I faced him. Neither did he look cuough like a military martinet to make me click my heels together arnd come to "attention." And there was absolutely nothing to suggest the producer of "best sellers." It took less than a minute to diseover that "Ralph 'Connor" is, first of all, a fellow-htunan being, who is ready to take a. glance at anything from any enan's point of view. A reference to the old ministers gave us an instant point of contact, and with much laughter -kindly and reverent - but still laughter -we compared notes and exchanged reminiecenees of the good men who made the Scotch settlements where we had both been brought up, the places of stern discipline we remembered so well. The hour that had been prom- ised to me was gone and part of another hour with it, before I remembered that the man who arranged the meeting had not done it out of pure kindness. He wanted me to interview Ralph Connor about the war work of the Year.C.A. By the time I remembered my duty we had reached a point where I felt that I could ask him about it from a rather daring point of view. I began with a straight question: "What do you think of the wort: of the Y.M.C.A, in the war?" He hunched his shoulders slightly and slipped down a trifle in his chair. Front the expression on his face I was afraid that he was going to offer an unfavor- able criticism. But his answer Made it clear that that was not what disturbed him: "It is doing a lot of work that the church should be doing." Now you can understand why my question caused him a shade of discom- fort. The minister in him -a touch of the old Free Kirk spiritual guide that made him feel the responsibilities of his calling -made him regret to confess that a purely lay institution is carrying prac-. tical Christianity to a point thates as yet impossible for the churches --"beat- ing them to it," as the soldier boys would say. "Don't misunderstand me," he pro- tested. "The churches and their chap- lains are doing a wonderful work, but the Y.M.C.A., being without a propa- ganda or dogmas, is able to adapt itself instantly to any needs that may arise, either at the battle -front or wherever the boys may be located. It meets them at all hours and in all places with a spirit of. good cheer, comfort and help- fulness." "Then you are of the opinion that the man who supports the war work of his church is not doing all he can to help the boys?" "Assuredly. The Y,M.C.A. is able to go a little farther. Though the work of the church may be nearer to the ideal of what I want to see"done, the Y.M.C.A. gets nearer to the boys." That struck me as a very important point, and I decided to question him from an angle that might not be pleasing to a clergyman. "You know," I insinuated, in a spirit of half confession, "that there are a lot of boys who would be inclined to look at a Y.M.C.A, at home as a sort of sissified institution, beneath the notice of young men of the world who like to affect a sort of manly wildness. Does the Y.M.C.A, get near to them?" "Yes, The helpfulness of the Y.M,- C.A. has won out, over every obstacle.

The thing to etniihnsizo &snit it.; Wort; IS it 1., an organized 1,Pirit of and it. . 7, Montt a It the giving." RALPH CONNOR "But I often hear comments, not always friendly -about the prices that the Y.M.C.A, charges for aorne of its supplies." Such comments have no justification. The prices are as near right as they can be made. If there is any profit on the sales to the boys in the camps or back of the lines, every cent of it goes to pro- vide things free -absolutely free --to those who nre in the front line trenches. As a matter of fact, the canteens and other organizations under the control of the churches and chaplains have pretty much the same schedule of prices as the Y.M.C.A." I could not suppress a smile at find- ing my ancient enemy the trust of "Gentleman's Agreement" appearing iu so admirable a form. But I made no comment. Instead, I asked a conclud- ing question: "Then I may tell the people that in its war work, especially in the matter of creature comforts, the Y.M.C.A. is nearer to the boys than anyone else?" "Yes. It stands nearer to them than anything else except the military organi- zation under whose discipline they live -and die. You see they are specially organized, trained and outfitted for this kind of work -and they are a mighty spiritual force, too." When leaving him, I stopped to talk to several other clergymen who appeared in the offing -it was a place of clergy- men -and he stepped from the room. Shortly afterwards he returned with a copy of his latest book, on the fly leaf of which he had written in memory of the men we had known in our boyhood: "There were giants in those days." It will be cherished as one of the most prized of alittle collection of autographed first editions. And with it I shall cher- ish the memory of having spent a couple of hours with a well-Imown man who is doing a noble work himself and is not afraid to give the fullest credit to other men who are doing a noble work -such ELS the officers and field -workers of the Y.M.C.A., "who play such a great for- ward line to the Church's backing in the great, great game," as Connor said. $ NEED OF WHEAT The lawagainst idleness should be en - IS URGED UPON CANADIAN FARMERS OTTAWA, April t8th,-The itnper- , ;give necessity for an increased wheat ' crop this year to avert famine is the subject of q special mess- age of the minister of agriculture , lion, T.
