Is often bey-;id the control of the so
diers. !%t (o not juip to the con
ctusion that all boys as sool as thwy
(lon1 the on ifomin of a soldiler forsake
the religion of their youth and go to
tile extrele. I will not for an instant
agree With such it view, be tile author
of it. who lie may.
Omitting the church as an organiza
tion, I shall deal with two other topies;
-tile armiy Y. NI. C. A. and the per
sonal religion which can and often
does thrive i, spite of adverse condi
tions.
Too much (-;in not be said li praise
of the work done by the army Y. M. C.
A. It means il1 that home and the
church nican, for it must take tile sol
dier--lonely and homesick as he often
is--and make him realize that the
same God wha has always heard pray
ers yet reigns-that the same condi
tions to a certain extent will yet sur
round and that the responsibilities of
life cannot he dodged but must be met.
It also must fill the place of the home
as far as possible-it must take the
place of Nlother who has always been
tle comforter and counsellor of the
young son; it, must. take the place of
Father who has ever been ready to
offler advice; It must do even more
than this for It m1St offer sometlimug
that is fascinaiting enough to attract
and draw the boys away from the dens
of d-gambling devices and the like.
A gigantic task that is for the V. .
C. A. youi may say. Ilt the wvork is
not yet doiie. The men01 ill chairge of
the work must realize that the boys
In camp areo away from hiomie and that
evenl groateri templtatIonus are to be0
dealt wit hi; they muost set to wvork to
find as far as possible the personial
Pecul1Iaities of thle sold ier ando to as
Fist in a kinid, Iactful way. They mulst
also assIst the solier to feei that he
('ause lie is away from houiie atnd per
11ans unikniownl that hei is still to re
in i his self-respect, and thait some0
one "haick homie" Is still expiectinig hhn
to he0 a goodh boy3 as5 well as a splen1
did( soldIer.
So) when your boys speak (of ,thie
work done1 by the army V. M1. C. A.
offer' a sIlent pr'ayer for- thle 11en w ho
are at the head of tihe gren.at Institiu

fIrst words of the Y. M. C. 'A. workers.
Never' yet, I dare say, has this not
been lived upi to.
Sacredl song~s are sung very often
at the gatherings of the men and
sometimes it is real touchling to no0t0
