OF such government literature SO GREAT

papers receive these circular letters

the speeches, for the most part. were
never made. They were written and

Y COME UP SMILING

Amy one who daily comes into contact
with the lives of the soldiers at Camr
Hancock cannot help but be impressed
with the cheerfulness with which they g
about the various necessary disagreeable
tasks incident to camp life Hove an6
there grumbler may be found but the
great body of the men ACCEPT these uaLles
as part of the game and go about the
work with alacrity and good grace.
That these tasks are no respector of
persons was discovered by the writer
when he started out on a hunt for some
camp talent for an entertainment one
day last week. A member of a famous
quartette was found in one OF the com
pany stables acting as maid of all work
for some mules. An equally famous MINI
ic, known ON the vaudeville stage
throughout the United States and Can
ada, was fireman for an incinerator
where the kitchen refuse is destroyed. 4
Well-known concert violinist was just re
turning from sesVeral weary hours OF
guard duty at a lonely post. A favorite
Scotch comedian was found engaged il
he homely task Of washing his trousers.
But they were all accepting it as part
f the program OF army life, as of course
it is. These tasks are inevitable, they
are a part of the service which is to be
rendered TO ones country and, like truc
philosophers, they proceed to make the
best of il. 1t is the true spirit of service

JOHN RAY EWERS
AT CAMP HANCOCK

DR. John Ray Ewers, of Pittsburg, one
of the leading pastors of the Christian
church, is in Camp Hancock for a thirty
days campaign. 1t is proposed to have
DR.. Ewers speak practically every even .
ing of his stay, and at as many day sery-
ices as can be arranged. An effort
is made to give continuity to these
services, so that there win not be so
many Independent meetings, but win
constitute a series, all of them directed
to the same end. With this in view, the
entire Y M. c. A staff is lining up be-
hind DR.. EIwers and his works. While
the staff of each building will feel espe-
cial responsibility for the meetings held
in that building, it is also interested
in the meetings held in other buildings,
and the members of each staff are ex-
cess of the meetings in every other build
ing. The purpose of these meetings is
TO bring the men to definite committal
of their lives to Jesus Christ.
DR.. Ewers is a mans man His long
experience as an eyangelistic pastor and
as a frequent speaker in shop meetings
is Of great aid to him in meeting the eX-
acting demands of successful camp
preaching. This is not to suggest that
the men in camp require a different gos
pei from that required for other people,
but that they require new simplicity
and directness in the gospel message DR..
FIwers work justifies great expectations
for the success Of the campaign. He has
been wen received in every building where
he has spoken. and goodly number OF
decisions have been secured in each OF the
services which he has conducted. There
is great need for personal work in this
campaign. and it is desired and expected
that we have the assistance OF all the
Christian soldiers in camp. In these days
of intensive training. let us not lose sight
of the paramount Importance Of spiritual
development.
