This little message of reinsurance
has been sent by the Rev. j. II. Nor
timer, pastor of Camp Curtin Mem

Churches are closed. but God
lives and religion is a reality. Keep
heart! Pray! Have your church in

everywhere you can.
1T is not lawful, nor wise for us

we come. Keep a cool head and a
stout heart.
BE careful and helpful as if all

make whole; He will deliver thee
in six troubles; yea, in seven there
shall no evil touch thee. In famine
He will redeem thee from death; /;

RED CROSS MAKES
SOLDIERS HAPPY
Ladies Provide Refreshments
Free to $500 in One
Day Here I'll

Yesterday was the record day for
the canteen committee of the Red
Cross of Harrisburg. The women of
that committee furnished refresh
ments, hot coffee, chocolate, apples,
tobacco and newspapers and maga-
zines to $500 soldiers. They were on
their way from Gettysburg to an
eastern embarkation camp. They
did not know themselves their exact
destination, but the very fact. that
every boy wore an Overseas" cap
was certain evidence that they will
not be in this country long. Never
happier lot of soldier boys passed
through Harrisburg. as many of
them had been in camp all summer,
and were extremely anxious to get
'over there"
est thatthe Reading railroad has had
for several years, and while the ar
rangements were perfect, the boys
did not know of the exact time of
leaving Gettysburg and the postal
cards they wrote from this city and
furnished by the canteen committee
furnished the first information they
were able to get to their relatives
and friends. These cards were stamp
ed by the committee and mailed.
There were 1000 of them and to-
gether with the letters, it required
several clerks some little time to get
them out at the post office.
Eight Trainloads
Owing to the fact that the trains
did not pull into the Reading station
the women were compelled to go to
the "Y" at South Cameron street,
and there they found the employees
OF the railroad ready and willing to
give them every assistance. The
trains were in eight sections and also
included transportation for 200 Of
lficers. They began to arrive early in
the morning and came in at different
hours during the day and up until
late last evening.
1t required considerable hustling
on the part of the members of the
canteen committee,s owing to the
large amount of supplies required.
The women had prepared PIT gallons
| of coffee, with cream and sugar; also
| gave out four barrels of apples, $50
pounds of chocolate, 10 pounds of
| tobacco, thousands of magazines and
newspapers. The soldiers greatly ap-
Ipreciated the efforts of the women
and the cheers for the Red Cross
and the good people of Harrisburg,
could be heard for squares. Mrs. w.
H. Gather, acting captain, said this
morning, and speaking for Mrs.
Francis ]. Hall, chairman, that she
desired to extend the thanks of the
committee to the. employees of the
Pennsylvania and Reading railroads,
for their kindness. The Reading train
! dispatcher ordered a special car on
the siding, where the women were
made comfortable between trains.
This work was carried on yesterday
entirely at the expense of the liar-
risburg Red Cross, and not one cent
was accepted from soldier.
