OUR CRIPPLED SOLDIERS.
HOW THE CHURCH ARMY HELPS. We have often been told how glad a soldier is to get a "blighty," for it means a spell of rest and homo after the hardship and monotony of the trenches. But when the wound is a serious one, in many eases the crippled soldier finds himself confronting ilie necessity of woiking and getting a living under trying and difficult conditions. Discharged into the busy civilian world with a physical handicap, this is the time when ho lequres the utmost sympathy and as. sistance. For the relief of this class of veterans the Chnvh Army conducts the Seymour Hostel, off Marylehone road, London, where the ex-soldier may stay while he loams some new craft. and otherwise become able to support himself and anyone that may be dependent upon him. This is only one nsoect of ilie work of the Church Army, wlrch comforts and helps our soldiers and sailors wherever they are training or fighting in the great cause. As indicated in our advertising columns funds are urgently needed to extend this good work of the Church Army.
