INTERESTING 113 fl 13R fU13 MINISTER'S PLACE
Written in France by Rev. J. R. Grebe*tt
Formerly of Whiterhttrele
The following letter from Rev. J R.
Graham, formerly pastor of the Pretaby-
terian church at Whitechurch, may be of
interest to our many readers.
Staples, France, 22, 2, 1910.
My Dear Friends :
¥ou will be wondering no doubt where
I am and what I am doing. Well, I have
had some wonderful experience since
leaving Canada. I was first sent to
liratnsbott Camp and was appointed,.
Padre to the Alberta Regt. They were
line fellows, all from Alberta and full of
life. Two err three days after I got there,
the camp was quarantined with flu. For
of six weeks we were not allowed outside
Ais the camp bounds and during,those weeks
vewe had over sixteen thousand cases in
hospital. I volunteered for work in the
hospital and spent several hours each daY
% 4 looking alter those who were on the
Ak "dangerously ill" list. About 200 of our
boys died, but that was a very low per-
centage considering the number of cases.
I conducted most of the funerals, I had
funerals almost every day for 8 weeks,
re some days 1 had 8 or 10, one day I buried
1/ 14. It was a trying work, and then I had
Astowrite to parents or wife or next -to -loin.
In a few weeks an answer would come
hack frons the- mother perhaps: asking
several questions, ' What were her boy's
last words." "Did he get the last letter
she wrote " "Did lie suffer much," etc.
aWell you know how difficult it was for me
to answer her questions, seeing that I
visited perhaps hundreds in a day it was
5impossible for me to know who they were,
1104\ some were too sick to tell me But I had
IA to send back an'answer of some kind. I
X have written hundreds of letters. It was
xi fine to get some of the letters. I got from
the mothers It is now I realize more
than ever before that all the suffering was
rfie not over here in France on the battle-
fields, the loved ones at home suffered
itA perhaps more than those who were in'the
ertek thick of the fight. The wives and mothers
of Canada have suffered much, but as
those letters which 1 have received indi-
cate they have borne it patiently, and
their courage and quiet trust when the
blow carne helped to cheer those who
74 were left and to make them more worthy
of that trust. The woman of Canada are
worthy of all praise. When the quaran-
LAtine was lifted at Bramshott I was sent to
Frenshaw Pond Camp, and it had been
put under quarantine the day before I
came. The flu was raging there too 1
was the only Padre in camp, the only
Protestant Padre, and my hands were
full. We sent all the serious cases to
Bramshott hospital and only, kept the
mild 'cases there, after three weeks at
Frenshaw Pond the camp broke up and
the men were sent to the different camps
in England I came back to my old Arta
Batt, at Beemc qtr. where I got a royal
welcome from the boys Whencrlaas
came I got a ten days leave end, "kept iter
to Ireland where I spent a., very happy
time in the old home,'beneath the shadow
of the hills up in Donegal
"
fere'
they
ate the prattles skins en all!" I was glad'
to get away frolrp camp life for a time and
the rest did me good; while at Brarrishott
I was able to secure from the Red Criss
Society, and the Canadian Field Comforts
Associations, several hundred pairs of
socks, caps. cigarettes, mitts, tobacco, etc
which 1 distributed among the boys, in
many of these socks there were notes front
those who knitted them and sugar in
some, chewing gum;• cigarette, etc., some
camefrom f m Windsor, Wa!lcervilh;, Owen
Sound and several towns in Ont , Albta.,
B. C., etc. I was wondering if any of the
socks carne from Whitechurch, perhape I
helped to knit some of them ! !
About the 21st of January we all left
Bramshott and moved to Ripon Camp in
Yorkshire Ripon was a beautiful spot,
one of the prettiest spots in England. I

There are a great many. Protestant
ministers in atiada who privately express
their sympathy with the aims and princ-
iples of the Orange institution, but say
that that they think they can be more in-
fluential in speaking for it if they are not
members.
It moat be Blear to any thoughtful per-
son that an institution such as ours can
be appreciated only -b y a knowledge
gained from the inside. The Order bas
been an o t se. e t ut, ny during its.
whole existence. There is no prospect
that it will escape hostile criticism in the
future, Only by an intimate knowledge
of the Association can the injustice of
these criticisms be appreciated, Those
who are in t a.-ae,ciation with its
members, who have a knowledge of its
ritual, and who have opportunities of get-
ting the atmosphere of our lodges, can
understand the motives of otir action, or
the values or our services to our country.
These things come from membership, and
not from surface indications, which are
frequently interpreted in an unfriendly
spirit. 'I herefore to render, service in the
way that Protestantministers can in this
great cause, membership seems to us to be
an essential consideration.

There is another side to the questio
that we feel sure some of our ministerial
brethren have overlooked, --that is their
personal• influence as 'members of the
Order. It needs only to be stated to be
accepted that: when one of them jo;ns a
lodge and enters into fraternal relations
with the men composing it, a bond of
friendship is established which makes
them much more influential among the.
brethren, All of them are members of
some Protestant church. They have pro-
found respect for the minister. This is
increased and`added to by the frequent
contract and intercourse that follows.
their membership to the Lodge. They
will find that the ordinary members look.
to them for leadership; that they will be
willing to accept such leadership, and
that the Lodge or Order will he greatly
benefitted by such assistance. Many a
lap has done unwise things at times be,
cause of lack of judgment which wo uld
have been avoided had they been wisely
directed by men of education and larger
experience in life and affairs. Indeed the
Order neide nothing more than the sym-
pathy and assistance of the Protestant
pulpit. If that could be generally secured
the work that the Order is trying to do
would receive such an impetus that its
service would be tenfold more fruitful,
Our religious leaders might well take a
leaf out of the book of the Knights of
Columbus. In every council of that Order
a priest is the leader. Without professing
to speak with exactness, we believe it to
be the case, that no branch of the Knights
of Columbus can be organized without a
priest, being selected as its chaplain, who
becomes the centre of the organization
in his parish. By these means it is kept
in close co-operation with the Roman
Getholic.Chtirch. It is directed by the
Shrewdest end wisest minds in thet great
ieligiotis organization, it becomes a valu-
able adjunct to -the work of that church,
and chiefly because this close cooperation
is established at the beginning and main-
tained throughout all itsactivities. If the
ministers of the Protestant churches would
take a like interest and give equal serSrice
to the Orange Association, they would es•
tablish a bond,between the Order and
their aigrettes that would be of the uta
most benefit to both, and advance the
religious interest of Protestantism. There
are many improvements that might be
made in the Order, but these will not be
effected b'y men of the highest type in
lrotestantlsm.refraining from connecting
e
-themselves with the Order. They Y hsvea
duty in this regard which, if fulfilled with
earnestness, will bring allogt a• strength
ening of Protestantism in Canada, that
we believe most men will agree is desk.-
able.—Orange `3t rltirlel. , '
