He described the work these seven
organizations are doing in the army
He says they are not overlapping each
other or r1valling each other but that
they have been drawn together in the
closest cooperation. He told how
Catholic priests say mass in Y. M. c..
A. huts and how Y. NJ. c. A. secre-
taries hold Protestant services in
Catholic churches. In their work with
the soldiers these men of all denomi-
nations are not seeking to advance the
interests OF their churches but to
meet the needs of the boys. The pur-
pose of the work done by them, to
keep them clean and contented and
to help them fight. Dr. Venable says
that the hoys have needed this from
the first day they landed in France
but that they need it more now thai
peace is near. The period of waiting
to come home will be the hardest they
have ever known. 1t will be the most
dangerous time in their lives. They
will be surrounded by temptations
they have never known before and
they will be fearfully homesick. The
organizations united in this drive have
laid their plans for their greatest
work during the rehabilitation Pc
Rod. They know it will be their
greatest work ITO bring our men
home as brave and clean as they have
shown themselves to be will be worth
to America far more than money. The
boys have done our fighting for Us
we must not fail to stand by them
now"
DR.. Venable, who is pastor of the
Riverside Presbyterian church, jack
men in the ministry and has given
much of his time to work at Camp

spoke yesterday at Fort Barrancas
and to the student aviators at the
Country Club, and at the moving

City chairman, George p. Went
worth is optimistic in regard to the
campaign, and said last night: I'VE
believe that the people of Pensacola
are going to realize the big fact about
this campaign, which is that in put
ting on this one great drive instead
of seven drives, not only is there
wonderful saving in force, but the
organized effort will be productive OF
far better results not only in raising
but in disbursing the fund.
The people should give to this
campaign with all possible liberality,
remembering that in all probability
it may be the last drive that the
organizations will make and the last
opportunity which will be presented"
The womans committee and the
boys and girls of the Earn and Give
campaign are all doing splendid work.
and the soliciting committee is MAX
ing daily reports to headquarters,
which present a busy scene, indicat-
ing the interest which the drive has
eiclited
Those who are contributing to this
campaign should remember said a
member of the committee last night,
that the seven organizations were
making this drive separately they
would be asked to give much more
than they are giving now. So, re-
Numbering this, they should triple 4
their gift, and put Pensacola and Es-
Gambia county over the top"
