ARMY CHAPLAIN

nothing every regimental stand-

 

Petrograd, Feb.

ard in the Russian army bears the

text, “God is on our side”; and

when the officers go down in a

fight it is often the regimental
chaplain, who, with the standard
his left hand and cross held
aloft in the right, leads the troops
forward to the attack.

Only the other day, during one
of the Russian attacks on the
Bolimow front a battalion which
had lost most of its officers was
led by a regimental chaplain. He
was, of course, absolutely unarm-
ed and was wearing an ordinary
coat. He brought the
men back after as gallant a bay-
onet charge as any made in this

While speaking of the gal-
lantry of Russian regimental

chaplains, one must not forget an

incident which occurred on the
Russian Christmas eve in the
trenches near Goumine.

The Russian and German

trenches here were very near to-
gether. “Every effort was used
to dissuade a priest from holding
