Are you glad to know that this friend will place books and magazines at his disposal, organize classes to teach him what ever he wants to learn, give him a pocket testament and invite him to join religious meetings of the faith that he was brought up in?

In each of these soldier was strum- ming on a piano; others were reading books and magazines; hundreds were writing letters home. Behind the raised counter at one end three or four young men were busy passing out notepaper and envelopes, selling stamps and weighing parcels, which the men were sending home. One Of the soldiers said to me as l stood in the tent used chiefly by men from Iowa: "We came all the way here from Des Moines, and we were mighty lonely. Then we found this Y. M. c. A. on the job, and it's been a home and more than a home to us. It gave us what we wanted when we needed 1t most. We'll never forget it. The boys best friend is the Y. M. c. A"
 Fine, cIean-cut, Upstanding Fellows.
 How close those benches were pack ed with men, bending over the long tables absorbed in their writing! What an appeal to the sympathies those great groups of soldiers make! Fine, clean-cut, outstanding fellows, some of them mere boys, one thinks immediately of the sacrifice they have made for the rest of us and how pre- cious they are to some one back home. Somewhere, in far off farm or village or city street, there are parents or brothers or wives who would give all they possess for one glimpse of those sunburned faces as you ana see them on their last night before going across. And it was with a throb of the heart that I watched them, bent over their letter paper, in one after another of those seven big tents.
 j. These were the tents of the Y. M. c. A. On that last night in America the association was serving the soldiers in the best of all ways-giving them an opportunity to write home. On previous nights they had enjoyed box ing bouts, movies, concerts, dramatics and a score of healthy entertainments as we'll as religious meetings. But on this last night home ties were strong est.

Lines and lines of sodden canvas housed z7.O00 men, gathered from 27 different states. Tine ground was dotted with pools and quagmires.
