mune from an unchurchly life,
who would go to church without
an invitation or request, who are
built upon the rock of Faith and
of Christian living. Were we are
like that the "Y" perhaps would
satisfy our spiritual needs and
then the work Of our own church
would get its imeptus only be-
cause of the appreciation and
home and denominational inter
est that it would instill in our
men. That alone IS reason enough
for us all to give in abundance
of what we have.
But there is still a great
reason, one that clinches our
argument - the woeful lack of,
the pathetic necessity for person
al work. There is 50 much to
draw us away from everything
that pertains to Church, | am
sorry to have to admit it, but
we are beginning to scott at
Christianity, the Church, at the
Lutheran Church. What can the
future have in store for our dear
old church, our fathers and our
own, if the young men + 60
ing to be allowed to drift aim
lessly, unhindered out of the
Church and its interests?
The personnel of the average
Army Y. NJ. c.. A. is not large
enough o strong enough to do
successful personal work it calls
for a mar Of power, of influence,
of virile character - a spiritual
l. all of which qualities will be
found, I hope, in the Lutheran
ministers that will be appointed
to undertake this work of con-
serving the Christian and church
ly tendencies Of our Lutheran
young man.
As one Of the very average
Lutherans in the service I tell
you that The kindly, personal,
persistant, pastoral interest of a
Lutheran minister always at hand
is the only way to keep our
Lutheran boys near to God and
His church. 1t is the only answer
to the spiritual question Of this
war that our Church has.
At one of our camps there are
10000 Lutherans and one pastor
and his assistant - appealing to
your sense of justice, isn't that
a pretty large congregation for
two men to handle in a per-
sonal way? 10000 Lutheran boys
= two strong ministers Of God
arrayed against, oh | cant num-

Allentown, Pa.

Letter from Corp. O. NJ. Five
.hjem, Co. D., 331 Machine Gun
Battalion, Camp Grant.
Owing to the great amount
OF trouble and inconvenience
caused by wrong or insufficient
addresses of the boys in the
Training Camps, | have been ask
ed to describe briefly the es-
sentials of a complete address of
the men in the army. When one
considers that there are thou
sands of men in each canton
ment, and in each division it
can readily be understood that
letters addressed with only the
cantonment or division address,
cannot be delivered without a
great deal of delay, and that
names sent IN TO camp pastors
with similar faulty addresses are
almost worthless. Still, addresses
Of this kind are received every
day. Each division is made up Of
regiments, battalions, and yari-
Gus independent companies. All
mail should bear the regiment
and the company address. The
company is the unit organization,
in the cavalry the unit is called
the "Tropp'" in the artillery it
is called the Battery, and in
most other branches of service
it is called the Company" The
designation for company, troop,
or battery should form the first
part of the address, comparing
in a way with the street number.
Next the organization, (regiment
or battalion) should be desig
mated, giving the number and the

WARTIME ERvICE OF
CHURCHES.
AN APPRECIATION.

It is most interesting to note,
N these days of development a
l6ng every line Of activity, the
syer widening sphere of the
ehurch as well. No longer is the
church content to sit and regard
current events with a c%onplacent
attitude. No longer is the church
content to care for the interests
of the parishioners within its own
immediate vicinity with only an
occasional manifestation of in
terest in the welfare Of those who
have been called away from
participation in the services Of
5he church to which they are af-
Eliated. The church has found
that her young men have been
aken away on a mission of
sacrifice for the welfare of hu-
manity the like of which has
never been witnessed in all his
tory. Then the question arose :
What is the duty Of the church
in this respect 2" In other words,
The church was face to face with
me new problem Of following her
Sons to the front, in order that
Ehe Lutheran teachings might not
be effaced from the memories
Of her sons, whom she had so
carefully reared, IN the routine
oamp instruction and, later, the
din Of battle. This was not all.
Not only was the proposition an
Imperative one, but the essential
thing was to get concerted action
at the very earliest moment
possible. Individual activity could
not hope to accomplish much.
Cooperation must be sought in
order to spread the mission over
the entire field - to reach every
Lutheran son wherever he might
be stationed. This was the prime
motive instigating the birth of
the National Lutheran Com
mission for Soldiers and Sail
ors' Welfare. It must not be sup
posed that this gigantic move
ment did not meet with some OPP
position. Many thought that the
caring for the spiritual welfare
Of the boys could be left to the
Army Ch~aplains, the Y. NJ. G.
A. and kindred organizations.
fortunately, it did not require
much time to quell these OPP
ponents. The strongest argu-
ments came from people living
near thee antonments and from
the boys themselves who were in
a position to give first hand
evidence as proof that the work
Of caring for the spiritual vel
fare Of the men in the service
could not be successfully done
by Army Chaplains and the Y.
NJ. G. A. for the very simple
reason that the individual de-
mands Of the men were too
varied. The men demanded the
privilege to worship in the SER
vice in which they were reared.
Hence, the Lutheran Church had
10 extend its sphere of activity
to the Camp and Fort. The sue
eess Of the movement is already
apparent - one has but to call
- mind the Ghepel at Camp

the Lutheran movement. This IS
but one example of the work al
done = and much more
remains to be done. That it will
be done no one can doubt when
he considers the rapidity and ex-
peditious manner with which this
work is being done.
Does the Lutheran soldier and
sailor appreciate this work of the
Church Ask any one of them
and you will find an unanimous
reply that the work is not in
vain but is most heartily and
sincerely appreciated. The writer,
can give the unqualified indorse-
ment of the Lutheran boys
stationed at the Army Ambulance
Service Concentration Camp, Al
lentown, Pa, and also the same
testimony has come to him from
boys from twenty or more other
camps, as we'll as men in the
Navy and Marine Corps. We do
sincerely appreciate every effort
expended in our behalf, every
dollar contributed to the cause
- the greatest and noblest cause
the Lutheran Church has ever
undertaken - and, last but GER
tainly not least, the prayers of
the Lutheran Church for her sons
in the service.
Thoughts of dear things left
behind come to mind countless
times daily, and l can assure you
all that thoughts of the Lutheran
Church come to mind more fire.
quently than the civilian can
imagine - unless he himself has
had similar experiences while
serving his country. We do think
of the church and it is no small
feeling of gratitude we ex-
perience when we know that the
Church thinks of us also. | know
that when the later days come
and we are permitted to return
to our homes we will recall the
work done by the Lutheran
Church for us while away, and
| cannot but think that we will
all as a result be better Luth-
Grams. Even though far away we
are bound TO the Church by ties
which are stronger than ever be-
fore, in the knowledge that the
ties of Christian fellowship have
nat been severed. As the poet
sang:
"Go thou thy way, and l go
mine,
Apart - but not afar,
Only a thin veil hangs between
The pathways where we are,
And God keep watch tween
thee and me
This is my prayer.
He looks thy way - He look
eth mine
And keeps us near"
May Gods richest blessing
rest upon the great work already
done and bless all future activi-
of the Lutheran Church in be-
half Of the boys at the 'FRONT.'

Gen. CrOwders request that the amendment to the army appropriation bill giving him the rank of Lieutenant General be dropped implies no dis dain of that honor.
 His position is that if he is be honored for the success of the selective draft, the men who helped him must be recognized also He points to the fact that lS,000 citizens, assisted by many lawyers and physicians, in the Jurisdiction of the 5000 boards, have labored with him, many of them without pay. and, thus far, have labored with little nothing in the way of formal honor recognition of any kind
 As matters now stand, their hard work and self-sacrifce will not entitle them to a bou- quet the little green mound that, on some fu- ture Memorial Day. will mark where their mortal remains repose

LESSON GIVEN BY
 WINDOW CLEANERS
 BEING UTILIZED

LONDON July 24.-(Correspon- dence of The Associated Press )-.-"If you give a man damp rag and set him at work cleaning windows, yiu will see that he is continually working his fingers as though he were grasping a spring dumb-bell. But while he would tire of the dumb bell in a few minutes, he will clean windows for several hours without excessive fatigue"
 This, explained the officer in charge of the military orthopedic hospital to The Associated Press correspondent, is the principle of the latest and best Curative Work shops Wounded men who have been left with some sability-stiffened fingers or arms or legs-are given some exercise which is necessary for them in form in which they do not tire of it, and in which their minds are occupied not with themselves and their injury, but with the work they do.
 These workshops have brought a great change into the military ortho- pedic hospitals.
