Old Johnian HetJiey Fund 187 Reviews CHAPLAIN IN FRANCE. Roll of Honour A

Obituary: HE Zcalaud Cholliclcs of the New E"rpcdilionmy William Edward Mullins Force for July, 1918, contains a series of short Our Chronicle D articles by the Rev. M. Mullineux, C.F. (B.A. The Library 1896, attached to the New Zealand contingent), under the unassuming title, ' Leaves from a Padre's Diary ' -an expansion of rough notes made between April 12 and May 14 of this year. As becomes an old Johnian, he is under no illusions, and does not waste himself in mere journalism. He does not write of battle scenes for the excellent reason that he did not actually witness any battles. "A chaplain's work is of such a nature that it is practically impossible for him to watch the fighting. By force of cir­ cumstances he may occasionally find himself in the midst of it, but such occasions are extremely rare. Even if he should find himself in the battle, his vision would be so limited that his description would give but a vague idea of what took place. War correspondents "write up " battles from time lo time, but much of their copy must inevitably come from those who were actually fighting." Our author deprecates the ' rose-coloured reports of many chaplains' as misleading, and courageously faces the real facts of war. It also appears from the ' Diary ' that he is a daily dispenser of cigarettes, a subject on which his views are eminently wholesome. VOL. XXXIX. B A Chaplain ill Fra11a. A C/l(lplaiu iu Fra nce. 3
