members, for given lengths of time, and the surplus funds are
expended in little entertainments such as they like. It is a matter of
much gratification to us in the Burma mission, that the chaplain
selected by the military authorities at present, to fill the post of
Secretary of the Army Temperance Association, is our former
comrade and colleague, the Rev. J. H. Bateson, who in 1887-8 was
with us as Wesleyan Chaplain to the Upper Burma Field Force, and
we heartily wish him success in the work for which he is so well
fitted.
It is a matter of great thankfulness that the Army Temperance
Association is not only fully recognised in our Indian army, but that it
is a standing order that a branch of it has to be maintained in every
regiment and battery. Joining is optional on the part of the men. This
wise course has been amply justified by the results. Sixteen
thousand out of a total of nearly seventy thousand men are enrolled.
It is now found that in proportion as the Army Temperance
Association flourishes, both crime and sickness in the army diminish;
and so far from soldiers needing liquor to sustain them, they are
found far better without it, both in cantonments and in the field. In
fact, it is calculated that every five thousand men in the association
means a battalion of men less in prison and in hospital, and fit for
duty. The wonder is not that such should be found to be the case,
but that it should have taken so many years to find it out. In the
mission we took our stand, of course, on the side of total abstinence,
and embraced every opportunity of advocating this movement, in
military and civil life, both amongst men and amongst women.
We met from time to time with cases of genuine conversion that
gave us great joy. Our Sunday evening English service was always
followed by an after meeting for prayer and exhortation, and made
an opportunity, for any who wished to lead a new life, to give their
hearts to the Saviour. Again and again it was our delight to guide
those who were seeking to do so, at first in Buddhist monasteries,
and pagodas, and anywhere that we could find for the meetings,
often with images of Gautama, and other accessories of Buddhist
worship around, and later on in our own mission school-chapel. I
remember one Sunday evening in particular, the Word came home
to many hearts, and that evening, and in the course of the week, I
had the privilege of close conversation with several, and some of our
Christian members spoke with others who had been awakened by
the influence of the Spirit. Amongst the rest I had a request, through
a soldier, to the effect that Corporal S. would like to talk with me. I
went and met him, and conversed for half an hour in the barrack
yard answering his question, “What must I do to be saved?” The
circumstances of his awakening were peculiar. A certain passage of
Scripture had followed him wherever he had gone. The last Sunday,
just before sailing for India, his mother had requested him to go with
her to the service, and that had been the text. At Malta he had heard
another sermon from the same text. The first time he attended
service after he landed in India it had been the same. And a fourth
time had he heard it preached from at Shwebo in Upper Burma. This
had naturally produced a considerable impression on his mind,
which the sermon of the previous Sunday evening had developed
into decision to serve the Lord. With a little instruction and prayer he
was soon hopefully converted, and happy in the Lord.
It is sometimes urged, as an objection against earnest efforts for
the conversion of sinners, that the results attending such efforts are
not always abiding; but surely no objection could be more illogical or
more ungenerous. If it applies at all, it applies with equal force
against any and every attempt to save men. It may just as well be
alleged against the most formal and perfunctory of ministrations as
against the more direct and strenuous efforts to pluck men out of the
fire. The proper logical outcome of that objection is, “Do nothing at
all.” We might just as well do nothing as make the Gospel a mere
“light to sink by.” A chaplain amongst soldiers must often feel a
painful sense of disappointment at some results of his work, which
are evanescent. The life of the barrack-room necessarily produces,
especially in India, such an artificial condition of things, and involves
such a departure from the Divine ordinance, which is the family, that
it must needs bring with it special trials and stress of temptation to
any of the dwellers there who desire to lead a godly life. Hence every
chaplain has his disappointments over those who grow weary in
well-doing. And yet, on the other hand, such is the principle of
compensation running through the kingdom of grace, that although
barrack-room discipline is bad for the weak Christian, it strengthens
the man of determination, and I question whether there are to be
found anywhere triumphs of saving grace more marvellous than we
find in the army, or more touching examples of humble, sincere and
consistent piety.
We had in the battery of Royal Artillery stationed in Mandalay a
man whose career had been a peculiarly rough one, but who is now
a very bright Christian. He had led a wild life. He was a blacksmith
by trade, and, from his youth up, had been in the habit of spending
all he possibly could in beer, and, as is usually the case, the beer
often made a mere brute and vagabond of him. He first enlisted in a
cavalry regiment, from which, after being often in trouble, he
deserted. For a time he got work, but he still betook himself to the
beer, and the beer made him talk, and let out his former connection
with the army, so that he frequently had to disappear hurriedly, lest
he should be arrested as a deserter. Finding himself in want, he
enlisted again, this time in the Royal Engineers. From this corps he
received his discharge in consequence of an illness. Recovering,
and entering once more on a course of dissipation, he enlisted a
third time, in the Royal Artillery. The Jubilee year gave him the
opportunity to confess his former desertion, and to secure his share
in the general pardon, extended by the Queen to all such cases that
year; and it was not long before the King of kings granted him His
pardon also. Whilst stationed at Woolwich, he happened one
evening, when feeling extremely dejected, to enter the Soldiers’
Home. The Wesleyan chaplain met him there, spoke to him kindly,
and invited him to a meeting. He went. It was a fellowship meeting.
He heard a number of his comrades speak, but so dark was his mind
in reference to religion, that he could not understand them in the
least. However, he gathered that they possessed some source of
comfort and joy within, of which he knew nothing. He followed it up,
became truly converted, and whilst with us in Mandalay lived a most
exemplary life, and exerted a very gracious influence amongst his
comrades. Religion had quickened, as it often does, that once
darkened and besotted nature; and I have seldom met with a better
example of the transforming, elevating power of the Gospel, the
power to keep and sanctify, as well as save.
Another very satisfactory instance of true conversion, mainly
owing to impressions produced at the parade services, several
Sunday mornings in succession, was that of a pay-sergeant in the
regiment then stationed in Mandalay, a married man living with his
wife and family in the married quarters, a steady, quiet Scotchman,
always well disposed, and of strictly moral life. Parade services are
not always thought to be very good opportunities for getting at the
hearts of soldiers, seeing that they are marched there by
compulsion, not always in the best mood, and with their arms and
accoutrements (in India), which is a different thing from going to a
voluntary service off parade. But does not this fact challenge, as it
were, the chaplain to give them of his brightest and best? It must,
before all, be very short, or he will ruin everything, and send them
away worse than they came; something short, lively and heart-
stirring, full of Christ, full of apt illustration, and full of sympathy with
souls, so that he may capture these soldier lads in spite of
themselves. Well, it was at these parade services that Sergeant C.
felt his mind awakened to new views of truth and duty and Christian
privilege. Being aroused about the matter he attended also the
evening services, and the devotional meetings on the week-nights,
and soon got the light he required, and found himself a new man in
Christ Jesus. Well conducted and steady as he had been before, his
conversion nevertheless made a great difference to him, giving
clearness and brightness to his religious character, and kindling in
him a new zeal for the conversion of others.
We found drink to be a fearful curse, not only amongst the English
residents, but amongst the natives also. I had a servant, a native of
India. He was a great gambler, and very lazy, dishonest and
troublesome altogether. Bad as he was, we bore with him over two
years, fearing that if we discharged him we might have to put up with
somebody worse. Just before we left Burma we dismissed him,
because he had sent away his wife and taken up with another. Since
coming to England, I learn that this man, in a fit of drunkenness,
murdered this woman, with circumstances of unusual atrocity, and
that he had to suffer the extreme penalty of the law.
But this drink monster is no respecter of persons, and makes no
distinction of race, sweeping down all before it without any
discrimination. An English soldier in Mandalay, who had been an
abstainer for a considerable period, suddenly took to liquor again
one day, and got drunk. That evening he took out his rifle, put in a
cartridge, walked down out of the bungalow, and took the direction
that the seven devils within him pointed out. This happened to be
towards the sergeants’ mess, a separate building a stone’s-throw
away. That evening, a party of sergeants were enjoying a festive
gathering, in honour of the seventeenth anniversary of the enlistment
of one of their number. His health had just been proposed, and he
stood up to reply, when at that very moment the poor crazed
drunkard outside fired, and shot the sergeant dead. There had been
no provocation, and no reason could be assigned for the rash act. It
was merely “the drink.” In the distant future, when the temperance
reform shall have won its way, and the customs of English society
shall have undergone a great change, people will greatly wonder that
their forefathers took so long to discover that liquor was their enemy,
and not their friend.
Another example, and I bring these reminiscences to a close. It is
the case of a soldier, who formerly belonged to a cavalry regiment,
stationed at the time I speak of at one of the principal military
stations in the south of India. He had plunged into drinking and vice,
until at last he was told by the doctor that he had gone as far as his
constitution would allow him, and that if he went any further it would
be the end of him. This weighed upon his mind, and a deep sense of
his sinfulness and a desire for better things resulted. He felt he
needed Divine help, and he thought he had better begin again to
pray, a thing he had long ceased to do. But how to begin in a
barrack-room, where many pairs of eyes would see him, and
misunderstand, and ridicule him? Well, he would wait until all was
quiet, and then kneel down by his cot and pray. He waited, but as he
was musing the fire kindled, and when he did begin to pray, so
urgent was his pleading with God for mercy, that his voice rang
through the barrack-room, and all his comrades were aroused by it.
They thought he was mad. He was removed to the guard-room, and
put under restraint. There, in the quietude of that solitary place, he
found pardon, and his soul was filled with peace. Next day the
medical officer saw him; he could not quite make out the case, but
adopted the safe course of keeping him still under restraint. He told
the doctor what it was that had caused the trouble of his mind, and
how he had gained deliverance, adding that if they had said he was
mad before, it would have been quite true, but that now he had come
to his right mind. This explanation only induced the man of science
dubiously to elevate his eyebrows. It was a kind of case he was not
familiar with. Though perfectly sane, and calm and happy, he was
kept under restraint for a month, and he was accustomed to say that
that month, almost entirely alone with God and his Bible, was the
happiest period of his life.
That work of grace, so strangely begun, was thorough and
abiding. It was well known in the station, and produced a great
impression for good, supported as it was by his subsequent
consistent conduct. It was years after his conversion that I knew him
intimately in Burma as a non-commissioned officer, serving in an
important and responsible military position, for which he had been
specially selected; and I knew him for several years as a consistent
Christian, whose firm example—and happy, cheerful character made
him a blessing to others, and who was never backward in quietly and
judiciously speaking for the Master.
