General Sir William Robertson recently 2»id a remarkable tribute to the work of The Church Army. At the annual meeting in London he stated that the death-dealing effect of modern armaments was so great, the strain on the powers of human endurance was so prolonged and intense, and the numbers engaged were so colossal, that nothing less than the highest standard of moral and physical powers would suffice to ensure victory. Every endeavor should therefore be made to provide facilities for our troops to recover and retain those powers. The work of The Church Army was so designed as to conduce effectively to that end, and he commended the efforts of the organisation to his 'hearers.
