    In the meantime the Forces Team visited my own Church on several occasions at each of which I played the organ. At this time also the Team organist, Cecil Smith, had to curtail his Team activities owing to pressure of other Christian work and the door was opened for me to take his position. I readily joined the Team (with the agreement of my Minister, as I was a deacon and joint organist of my Church) and thus commenced a close comradeship culminating in the Westminster and Albert Hall meetings."

George Dempster Service October 1953.

J.P. Ede Inland Revenue. Poet and hymn writer of the Civil Service Christian Union. Composed Diamond Jubilee Hymn for the 1932 Jubilee. J.P. Ede was a very regular contributor of literary articles and comic poems to the Civil Service Observer from about 1913. One of his poems describes a hungry pig whose hunger continues after death when its skin is made into a bag. (Bagged October 1916). A Frosty Morning, December 1913 pp 230-231 describes a frosty morning in prose and finishes with a poem of the exuberance it elicits. In the first world war he sent in narrative reports from a Military Hospital. From 1913 to the closure of the magazine he contributed to most issues. His contributions in prose and poetry resumed in Service ("formerly of Inland Revenue" from 1948) until October 1951, when The Unconsumed Bush, about the fate of the Church, was published. His later poems were devotional, not comic:

Shelter

The desert waste,
A dreary land;
But green oases in the sand

The ocean void,
Where wild seas rage;
But islands, and safe anchorage

Life, waste and void
The heart depressed
But prayer, and lo, the soul's at rest

J.P. Ede, Inland Revenue. Service January 1947 p.4

But his prose is not always explicitly religious. Springtime in England (January 1950) links only gently to Easter and Alderney the Carefree is just a guide to the beauty if the island. The comedy even seems to re-emerge in Pulpit References (July 1949) when he discusses the advantages of cutting up old Bibles with a sharp pair of scissors.

I cannot quite remember, but I believe he was at the Inland Revenue before the 1914-1918 war, and went back there afterwards for awhile until 1942 when he was seconded to the Ministry of Supply until retirement" (Mrs Lane to Edwin Roberts 22.5.1951)

By permission of Martyn Lloyd-Jones the United Nations Witness Team, and Youth for Christ, used Westminster Chapel for its largest rallies. Martyn Lloyd-Jones refused to participate in "the crusade style evangelism that swept England from Harringay onwards" because it "coupled unbiblical techniques with a patronage that compromised the gospel". He believed that evangelicals were compromised by the ecumenical movement and, from 1966, called on them to leave their denominations and join in evangelical unity. (The Evangelical Magazine of Wales April 1981) In 1995, members of the of the United Nations Witness Team, attending the United Kingdom Reunion, were welcomed to Westminster Chapel by the new Minister, Dr R.T.

Captain Peach Francis Arthur Peach, born 1893 in Littleham, Exmouth, Devon. The son of Henry William Peach and Amy Clapp. Henry was at different times an insurance agent and a private secretary. Francis Arthur served as a Lieutenant in 8th Devonshire Regiment in the first world war and re-enlisted in the second. In civilian life he was some kind of writer. He was Captain from 1941 to 1946 in No. 3 company of the Non Combatant Corps. On the back of the photograph is written "Xmas 1941 - Yours sincerely, C.O. [?] Peach. No. 3 Comny N.C.C." He died 23.9.1955 aged 62. The following account is from the history of No.3 company:

"But I am sure that already you have decided that No. 1 certificate must go the "Troops" (Capt. Peach) more in demand on an ordinary working day than cold water in the Sahara. Wherein was he different from every other officer you ever met - from every other man you ever met? Because he never varied. He was constancy personified.

One Saturday at Arncott as lunch time was drawing near a squad of a dozen men were unloading coal into the Company Coal Store. Being an internal economy detail they were working for Capt. Peach. The S/Ldr. in charge of the job asked if they might call it a day, but Capt. Peach was convinced that had the men worked better the task would easily have been finished before mid-day, and so he said "No".

Sone thirty minutes later he went to examine the work, and of course, was again beset and asked whether the completion of the work could be held over till Monday. You know the type of thing - one man asking respectfully but with a reproachful eye, the other dozen men resting on their shovels registering with mute appeal.

He refused; but came back into the mess rather upset at having to be what he considered, so hard hearted. He told us, as though defending his action, that the men had known from the beginning that the work had to be finished that day. They should have worked harder.....etc......etc.

"Look here Skipper", I said, interrupting the post mortem, "If you '--. go out now and tell that lot that they are d....d shirkers and that they b..... well have to put their backs into it and finish the job, I will give you a guinea. One guinea if you tell them the truth - with due emphasis on two little swear words, part of War's artillery". But Capt. Peach would not - not even to make a guinea.

Up jumps Andy, grabs his hat, "Give me the guinea" he says; but Clive beats him to it, "I'll do it for fifteen bob"... Hem shouts "twelve and six". Andy, seeing good money going west, calls out "Ten shillings"... seven and six.....five shillings..... down it dropped. Finally Clive, counting out how many free cigarettes he could get for half a crown, shouts out with an air of finality, "Two shillings and sixpence". But Hem with a fierce look of pleasurable excitement in his eye, says, "Dash it, all, I'll do it for nothing ! It will be a pleasure !

Spurgeon used to say he envied the Devil those short handy words; Capt. Peach went one better, he did not even envy him, he did not need them, those short handy words - he had no use for them.

I have told how I met up with Capt. Peach when at the Pioneer Centre in Glasgow, but Peach and I had almost met before .......

One September morning in France in the year 1915 at 5.29 a.m., on the 25th. Day of that month, Lt. Peach and I were near one another - though .,, we did not know it - all tensed up waiting for zero hour.

For four days the guns had blasted and battered the enemies lines in front of Loos, Pas de Calais, and now the little tumbler was to drop that was to unloose the giant machine. In that fight Lt. Peach of the 8th. Devons was wounded and lost his right arm; one of his proudest memories being that he went forward with the Guards Division. (Consider that memory as a stimulating thought and source of power through life).

It is not to be wondered at then, that when War's clouds rolled up again to overcast the World he immediately volunteered and within a fortnight of the declaration of War was back in the Army.

Once, during one of our long chats together he told me that he was "Glad that he had been born during this period of two world wars, even though he had had to pay so heavy a price." As a writer he knew that the world torn by hatred and meanness was as true a picture of the world as the vision engraved on our minds by the wishful thinking of the Victorian Era. (Were not the hatreds and meannesses balanced by the great wave of brotherhood and high courage that swept the world?; Peach was not afraid of war either for himself or for the world - Not even War could make a breach in the wall of his faith - and yet a lover of peace if ever there was one - A man who would not win a guinea by making use of two little war-like words. Yes, the N.C.C. certificate of Appreciation No. 1. Copy must go to Capt. Peach: It could not possibly be given elsewhere.

Civil Service Prayer Union Minute Book
1896 to 1923



Civil Service Prayer Union. List of Accessions and Withdrawals

This is labelled "CSPU Reg. 1898-1923". Probably the most battered book in the archive. It contains the names and department of everyone who joined or left from 1898/1899, with the name of the person (or whatever) that introduced them to the Prayer Union and the cause of their leaving. Both lists were maintained to 1927/1928 (not 1923). In the back is copy of a memo on an interview (2.5.1924) with Mr H.J. Wilson, C.S., Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Labour, seeking his support and asking him to be a Vice-President of the new Union. He intended to talk to Sir Malcolm Ramsay and (probably) Mr Bowers, as he thought it desirable that it should not be one head of a department alone as a Vice-President.

Junior Civil Service Christian Union Minute Book
1895 to 1906

Over twenty blank pages have been left at the start of this Minute Book, presumably for inserting earlier minutes. The first minutes are for a meeting of the Executive Committee on Thursday 5.9.1895 at Exeter Hall (Parlour) at 5.30 pm with Mr Adney in the chair. Also present, Messrs Campbell (Treasurer), V. Peacock (Savings Bank), Stephens (Assistant Secretary), J.M. Rusk, Tate (Education Department), Mansbridge, Dios? (Patent Office), Bromley (Inland Revenue), ???? (Savings Bank) and the Secretary. The main item of business was the establishment of a branch for the 500 Boy Clerks and copyists in the Savings Bank.

Junior Civil Service Christian Union Ramble Committee
Minute Book October 1908 to 1920

This committee seems to have petered out after the Great War. The rambles and outings continued (successfully) through the war and permitted ladies to come on some of the outings, with no offence. The decline in attendance seems to have come in 1918, although it picked up after the Armistice. Programs were decided for 1920 and 1921. Then there are no more minutes. Minuted rambling and outing activities begin again with the Civil Service Christian Union Youth Committee Minute Book 26.4.1938 to 22.4.1940.

Secretary (Mr. Roberts) referred to the difficulties experienced because of the illness of the Office Secretary (Mr Jessup) who was normally responsible for most of the mailing and duplicating. Mr Jessup had ben ill for some months..."

There are some lose papers inside the minute book. These include agendas and two snippets:

    C.S.M.A. Gazette, December 1962 "Mr Forster then asked what the function of the Hon. Secretary was. Mr Hunsworth replied that the Hon. Secretary did all the dirty work nobody else would do..."

    "When the Great Ones depart at last to their dinner
    The Secretary stays, getting thinner and thinner,
    Racking his brains to record and report,
    What he thinks they will think that they ought to have thought.
