or magazines were distributed and
Bibles were furnished many of those
that had neglected to bring a copy ct
the good book with them. A Young
Mems Christian association was form
ed in each regiment and placed in
charge of proper officers.
After the men had been modified in
the national camps the work was car
ried on and is being carried on now On
much larger scale. Brigade secre-
taries have been elected with assist
ants; tents for the exclusive use OF
the associations have been erected and
are in daily use, and many Of the
best known evangelists in the United
States have offered their services and
are cooperating in the work
The carrying on Of the Christian work
on so extensive scale takes money. The
hrst estimate of expense for the first
six months was $4,000, but it has been
found that this sum will not suffice,
since it has been determined to send
tents and workers to Manila and Cuba,
and it has been found necessary to issue
call for funds.

been provided with a ten or secretary,

committee and State Secretary Fran

disposed to help arrange at once to do
so. All remittances may be sent To
