A PARSONS' AMBULANCE CORPS.
Pro THE tortes or rue " 6Pscuron"1 S,e,—I read with the keenest interest the letter in your last issue from the Rev. Perry Jackson, suggesting a Parsons Ambulance Corps, for this was tho idea which I strenuously urged two years ago. It was then said to be impracticable because those clergy who enlisted in the R.A.M.C. became ordinary privates under orders, and lied no guarantee that they would not be employed as clerks or in other R.A.V.C. work far from the firing line—work which cannot be compared in importance with that which they are now doing in their respective parishes. If, however. Mr. Jackson has information which leads biro to suppose that -' Parsons' Ambulance Corps, or Stretcher-Bearing Company. for front-line service " is a practical possibility, I should he very glad to hear from him on the subject, as uumbere of the younger clergy are only too anxious to share the dangers and privations which men of their own age in the Army are daily enduring.—I Mae is good. We hope that Mr. Jackson will communicate at once with the Bishop of London.—ED. Spectator.]
