and their fellows on the other, is indeed as "a clear flame of truth in
a dark and haunted night."

PROF. STANGE.

To the great work of Prof. Stange, of Goettingen, I have once or twice
alluded. He directs all the instruction given in the Goettingen camp,
attends daily, gives lectures and superintends the library. He
experienced the usual difficulties of any civilian who tries to practice
Christianity in war-time. "One great German newspaper wrote with
indignation that the prisoners in the Goettingen Camp had as good a time
as if they were at a health resort." Doubtless this paper, like some
others, contrasted the (rumoured) abominable treatment of German
prisoners by their enemies with the too great indulgence shown to
prisoners in Germany. But Prof. Stange is not abashed. "No internment
camp," he writes, "can be compared with a 'holiday resort.' In spite of
everything that may be done for the prisoners, internment is and remains
always a very hard lot. In the Goettingen camp, too, many a prisoner
needs not only the exertion of his whole strength, but help as well to
make the endurance of his lot physically and spiritually possible."
Stange is one of those who have learned to envisage the anxieties, the
loneliness, the uncertainty, the ennui of the prisoner, and the terrible
enervation of long months, and, alas, years of confinement. In this, as
in so many circumstances of the war, it is the more sensitive and
developed minds that suffer most, and are most easily destroyed, those
minds that are indispensable in the building of any worthy future.

Prof. Stange quite frankly acknowledges to a war prejudice against the
English. But when he found their great need of help, his prejudices
melted away, and he soon engaged in helping them too with books classes,
and other means of activity.

Prof. Stange recognises that such work for enemy prisoners helps towards
better treatment of their own prisoners abroad, but, he adds, "It must
certainly be emphatically stated that we in Goettingen never took up our
work for the prisoners with this object. What compelled us to work was
simply and entirely the great distress and need of the prisoners
themselves." (P. 36. The extracts are from Prof. Stange's pamphlet on
Goettingen Camp.)

THE LAST RESTING PLACE.

At last, rest. To many weary hearts it must have become a pitiful
consolation that this at least is sure. "After life's fitful fever
