British Recruits Training.

A certain young men’s Bible class, writes a correspondent, of 60 members, has, so far, sent 14 recruits to the army. Last Sunday, just as the “Roll of Honor” was being read, the latest happened in on a 24 hours’ leave to say good-by, in time to answer for himself. “Soldiering down in the country isn’t what it is in London,” he announced cheerfully. “They put you through to the last notch, to see jpst how far you can go. I’ve been breakfasting on air soup, dining on dry crust, and sleeping op four bricks and a marlin spike. But, tough! If a German bayonet does get at me, it simply won’t be able to get in." The teacher of this class is a lady.—London Chronicle.
