-A story told by C.ipt. Malet, of the Britisk army, in a speech reeently delivered by him at Stoke, ír worth preserving1. He said : "A recruit, on being askedbya commanding officer whatreligion he professed, in order that he might go to his proper place of worship, said, 'Please, sir, I have not made up my mind. ' He probably thought he would get off the church parade, but the oflicer was equal to the occasion. Turuing to the sergeant of the company, he said, 'Sergeant, here is a man who has not made up his mind as to what religión he is. We will give him overy opportunity. Let him be marched to the Komanist service at 7.45, to the church of England parade at 0.15, and to the Presbyterian service at 11, until further orders.' The man soon made up his mind that he was a devout churchman, 'probably,' said Capt. Malet, 'because the service was the shortest. ' "
