A wounded British soldier has dealt
a quiet rebuke to the sentimentaliz
ings over him and his like. He is
living, he says, like a lord, in a fine
house in a smart suburb of London,
waited upon by lovely women, visited
by equally lovely women, usually bear
ing gifts. He is not ungrateful for
their kindly thought but he thinks of
the wives and children of his com
rades at the front. He would rather
this kindness were put to work in the
quarters where it would be less pic
turesque -and more useful. He con
cludes with this prayer:
"Lord, keep us wounded men mod
est and open our eyes to the purer
heroism of those men and women who
denied the brave show of the battle
field, sacrifice themselves every day
to the tedious tasks for which we have
' not the courage."
There is something wonderfully fine
grained in this; something wonderful
ly true and deep. And it has an appli
cation wider than the English hospi
tals. How many institutions have
been cumbered by requests for silly
displays of the doner's name! How
many bronzes and marbles have lum
bered up our public places at an ex
pense which ought to have gone to
cleaning and beautifying squalid
streets! This wounded soldier has
' belittled his own sacrifice in order
jthat he may, with gentleness and
I .truth, correct the foolish show of
kindness which prefers the pleasant
charity to needful. How easy it isi
' to flatter our self-respect with the con
science money of- kindness. How
1 much harder it is to do the rough, and j
heavy work.
Let us be honest with ourselves i
even in our charities. Boston Globe. ,

Kidney Pills to reliee me of kidney
complaint. I haven't had ?ny need of

Pills when they cured me."
