Dramatic personal stories of the great gypsy evangelist's work with Allied soldiers during World War I. It pulsates with the human, the humorous and the dramatic. What real religion means to them in camp and trench. Rodney "Gipsy" Smith risked his life to preach the gospel and won many of them over to Jesus. "A breezy compound of stories from the front, of religious experiences, of accounts of what the Y.M.C.A.

is doing for the welfare of the soldiers, all told with an earnestness that sends them straight to the reader's heart and an unusual ability to express thought and feeling with point and pungency." -New York Times "A famous evangelist writes of his work as a chaplain at the front. It is a book intended for parents, to bring them information and assurance, and is written in a friendly colloquial style. It also offers tribute to the Y.M.C.A. 'The Y.

M.C.A. stands for everything to your boys. It is their club, their church, their recreation room.It has come to the help of the churches, to be the communication-trench between the churches and the people.'" -Book Review Digest "His little book contains a forcefulness which is almost that of the spoken word." -Boston Transcript "In one of his sermons since coming to the Pacific Coast 'Gipsy' Smith said: "I wish I had my way with alcohol.

I'd set fire to every cursed distillery.' This was in Seattle, in a meeting for men, and it is said that the speaker's voice was lost in the applause which swept from wall to wall. Then the Gipsy put this pointed question: 'How do you expect your boys and girls to grow up pure and sweet with that kind of a father - a drunken father? how do you expect the boys to be pure when their blood is tainted with alcohol?'" -The Pacific "The object of this book is to tell of the work of the Y.M.C.A. huts at the front. It contains a foreword by the Bishop of London.

The real interest of it lies, for the general reader, in the intimate personal sketches of the inner life of the common soldier. Conventional religion is at a minimum. 'You and I,' says the author, 'have been too much concerned about the preaching and too little about the doing of things.' What Gipsy Smith and his helpers bring is music and coffee and advice and encouragement and writing paper to the boys; in return he gets their confidence and admiration. The stories he tells are both poignant and humorous, and full of 'human interest.'" -St. Andrew's Cross "This book is a revelation of what the boys are thinking and feeling when they go into action. It is a dramatic story of what real religion means to them out there - not preaching, not dogma, but the practical kind that finds expression in the friendly ministrations that are the daily and homely needs of the fighting lines.

Gipsy Smith tells a story with rare power and feeling - and they are rare stories he has to tell." -The Publishers' Trade List Annual "Gipsy Smith records what he saw and heard upon the battle front on a tour designed to minister religious encouragement to the soldiers. What he saw was greatly cheering to his own heart, and he wishes others to share his assurance that the boys on the British and American fronts are a sane and morally sound company." -The Continent.
