A ' test demonstration, using these seed, was made this season by Messrs. G. E.

Taylor .- Mo - County -"nt, No. 33 Describes Men at Work Under Shellf ire; Impres sed With Faith of Men Chaplain Ben L. Rose, il3th Cavalrv (mechanized), and once pastor of the Presbyterian church- es in Chinquapin, Beulaville, and Bethel, sent the following com munication to the General Com mission on Army and Navy Chap lains, a description of men at wor- ship under shellf ire: , 'Recently I moved with my unit and for quite awhile we were in Normandy seeing our share oi ac tion. There was a very definite -quickening of interest in things of God among men oi my unit soon after arriving in the combat zone. There is no "revival in the oia sense of the word, for soldiers dis like anything that borders on 'showyness to religion, but there is a real awakening in the hearts of a great number of them. There is evidence of this in the fact that every time I go into the bivouac area of a company, I am asked by any number of men, 'Chaplain, when are we going to have church services?' It is evident in the fact that last month I held 19 Sunday services with a total of 1009 pres ent and held 30 weekday services with a total of 1266 present In ; addition to that I baptized eight ' men out of my outfit last month. "A thing that gave me more Joy than I have had in a long time was the privilege of baptising a -Lt CoL and a Captain. , The for mer, a Squadron Commander or FJ Paso, Texas, was baptised in the 'presence of the men of bis : squadron;. and the latter, a Tank ' Company Commander of Vinita, -Oklahoma, was baptised in the presence of the men of his com pany. To see these men Kneei humbly and beiore tne men or their commands, profess - their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ I say, was one of the greatest Joys I have had in a long time. Yesterday I conducted Two Communion services in which a total of about 225 men received the sacrament The last service was begun just before sunset in a " very beautiful little apple orchard. There in the fading light of a Sabbath evening about 120 men came forward and knelt in the . grass before a crude alter and re- ceived the Sacrament while CpL ' . W. G. SchmolL of Plymouth, Wia. played hymns on the little folding field organ. Once during the ser- -vice I thought we would have to dismiss ' because artillery shells began to fall not far away. Dur ing the service , also, a Captain - had me announce that the men of certain platoon would have to return to their area immediately as they were to move out on a mission. .. - "Not very long ago. I was con ducting a service in a company . area when a German plane came over and our Anti-Aircraft Artil lery began firing. We were sing ing a hymn and were rieht in the middle of a verse. We finished the verse and then I announced, 'We had better scatter,' and scatter they did. After the plane had gone, the group gathered again, . this " time a little larger than before. As we started I remarked. 'If he comes again, we'll just have to-' scatter again,' to which one of the men replied, 'Next time let's not wait to finish the verse, Chaplain.' 5 m several umes l have had to . stop in the middle of a sermon to wait for our own artillery nearby i to finish firing a barrage. They , can talk a little louder than I can. Mucn or my time is spent in tha Aid Station or at the Collecting Point where I am able to have brief prayers with the wounded i , Hospital visitation, too, takes, much of my time. Some of th finest experiences I have had are in small prayer groups with the men Just before or just after an engagement. At such times the men want to 'talk to the Lord about it,' as one soldier put it, and they are glad when I make the -suggestion. After our first en gagement a volunteer patrol was. about to go looking for a much loved Lieutenant - who had been . wounded, and they came to me an4 asked that I have a prayer with them before they left t 'Tt is a great privilege to be a Chaplain with a - fine bunch of men such as I have."
