Y. NJ C.. A. ACTIVITIES AT CAMP
BROADENING THEIR SCOPE
Proving indispensable Factor in Military
Establishment at Meade-Religious In
struction Not Secondary In Interest.

Constantly broadening in it's scope Of
work. the Y. M. C. A. is proving an in
dispensable factor in the military estab-
lishment at Camp Meade.
A careful estimate Of the attendance
at all the eight "Y" buildings here
places the average daily attendance of
soldiers at the bungalows at over 49,
900. or nearly one-third Of the entire
population OF the cantonment.
It is q significant fact. refuting the
idea that the association makes reli-
gious instruction secondary matter in
its program. that the attendance at
religious meetings during. the month
Of December exceeded the attendance
at gatherings in which athletic events
were staged.
In the religious department. accord
ing to the statistical report for last
month, there was an increase of fifty
three meetings over the previous
month. Nineteen more Bible classes
were organized. with an increased at
tendance Of 2.24O.
What the association Is doing in a
recreational way for the soldiers may
be noted when it is reported that there
were 694 moro entertainments last
month than during November.

soccer and basket ball, are interesting

General Order Defines Desertion.

The question Of what is desertion and
what is not has been the cause Of
much discussion, and general order
has been issued setting forth the Of
Tense in digested form. Very often q
man is said to be p deserter when he
is only absent without leave. In the
first place a deserter must have been
indicted into the service.
Selected men are indicted into the
service from and after the hour specf-
fed by the local board for them to re-
port for military duty. Deserters are
Of four classes. viz: Those who have
never appeared for physical examina-
ton, registrants who have failed to re-
turn their questionnaires to the local
board, men examined who have failed
to report for mobilization and men who
have reported and later deserted. A re-
ward Of $50 is paid for the apprehen-
sion of deserter. The penalty for de-
sertion in time Of war 10 capital pun

BAN SOLDIERS FRHLS.
Generals Take Exception to Shiny
Yellow Cords of Enlisted Mem.

An emphatic order has been issued
against a shiny yellow hat cord, very
popular with the Quartermaster's en-
listed men, who by the use of this cord
shine out like SO many generals. In
the order this distinct bit of camou-
6age was disapproved. The generals
have their gold hat cords, and as it
would be a great deal Of bother for
them to make a change, the @. M.
boys will have to go back to the sheen
less yellow, the cotton cord that was
good enough for many others before
the enterprising innovators put the
near-gold band on the market.
In the SAME order many other popular
soldier toys were branded as "un-uni-
FORM" The "un-uniform" stun must be
cast aside, and failure to do SO will in
v6lve punishment. ~
In the same order plea is made for
uniformity in the Army as highly inn
D0rtant as a matter of discipline. On
several occasions the hobby caps have

man Of British Army, Has Record
at the Front.

"Hit hardw That is the new motto

Despite the multiplicity Of drills and
army maneuvers that are being Taught
to the men Of the division, the real old
lighting game in which a man uses two
perfectly good fists Is the outstanding
feature in the new training program.
Why boxing has been introduced as q
feature of the training program was
outlined by Capt. donovan today
when he delivered a short talk to his
boxing class. This class consists Of sew
enty-five junior officers and when they
have qualified as mitt artists. they will
return to their respective units and linz
part their knowledge Of the manly art
to the plain privates. -
In sharp, crisp and forceful language
the Irishman told this bunch Of ambi-
tious men that the success Of the
American Army depended upon the
physical fitness of the individual.
The plans Of generals. the eftlciency
OF equipment and the genius of military
strategists will fall" said the speaker.

cute the work are At for their tasks.

ing So practical and efficient as boxing.
It develops your muscles. qufckens the

He has decision, too, and In q tight

Current Defeat Effects Of
Freeze. J.

To meet the cold waves that came one
after another like that wave formation
in an attack that the men are learning
now so well a coal ration has been set
by the fuel experts. The stoves have
had greater appetite than was expected
and so wood is being blended nicely
with the coal to give the necessary
heat.
Over a million dollars worth of plumb
ing was done here and the pipes were
laid at what seemed like a reasonable
distance. This sandy soil has no cold
resistance or heat holding quality such
as is to be noted in other heavier soils.
The result is that heavy pipes get
frozen not once. but over and over
again. In fact. the freezeup led to the
discovery that electric current is all
that Is needed to thaw out the ice.
The current here usually runs up
to about 1900 volts. This enormous
voltage Is brought down to about 55
volts by the use Of transformers, re-
sulting in an extremely heavy amper-
age. The resistance Of the ice-flled
pipes generates the necessary heat, thus
thawing them out. The alternating cur
rent makes this possible. Sergt. Polster

cording to their works.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death.
And whatsoever was not found written in the book
of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Reveation

''We will now turn back to the reading in the
Fourth Chapter of First Thessalonians:"
But would not have you to be ignorant, breth-
ren concerning them which asleep, that We sor-
row not, others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and again,
even them also which sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the Word of the
Lord that which are alive and remain unto the
coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which
are asleep.
For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven
with shout, with the voice of the archangel, and
with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first.
'Now when Christians - those who really die
IN Christ Jesus - pass away, they are like Lag
arus. Jesus said that when Lazarus passed
away the angels carried him into Paradise; and
there has never been Christian die that the
angels did not bear away his spirit into Paradise.
"You have sat at the bedside of loved ones, and
as the life fame was beginning to flicker you have
seen them look up with beautiful smile and ex-
claim I see the angels. What beautiful music =
can you not hear it? Don't you see the angels
lowering near?'
"The wise theologians tell you that it is only
their fevered fancy and try to explain it away
but believe the angels for their spirits just
as much as believe anything The Bible bears
this out"
The dead in Christ shall rise first
"In some way, the gorifed body comes out of
this body. cannot explain it any more than you
can explain how the new stalk springs up from
the grain of corn, or how the beautiful flower
bursts forth from the seed which has fallen into
the ground and decayed.
Some men say, believe only what I under

your belief will be very limited.

Neither can you explain the glorious resurrection
of the just.
1T is not necessary that we should understand
these things. But they are facts.
"Now it is only the dead in Christ that shall
rise in the first resurrection but after the Mien-
Mum the millions and millions of wicked shall
rise, and after being Judged according to their
works, shall be cast into the lake of fire.
"The dead in Christ shall escape the second
death; also the saints who are living upon the
earth when the Lord shall descend from heaven
with a shout; hence, they shall never see DEATH"
Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the Clouds to meet
the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with
the Lord
Wherefore comfort another with these words
Now turn to First Corinthians, the Fifteenth
Chapter, Verses Fifty-one to Fifty-four:"
Behold, 1 shew you mystery; We shall not all
Sleep but shall all be changed,
In a moment in the twinkiing of an eye at the
last trump: for the trumpet shall sound and the
dead shall be raised incorruptible, and shall be
changed.
For this corruptible must put on interruption.
and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on in
corruption, and this mortal shall have put on i'm
mortality then shall be brought to pass the saying
that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
THAT ought to be plain enough for anyone
The dead shall be raised incorruptble; and the
saints who are alive, watching and waiting for
the coming of the Lord will be changed and
caught up in the twnking of an eye, the mortal
putting on immortality.
Turn to Isaiah, the Sixty-ffth Chapter, begin
ming with the Seventeenth Verse;"
For, behold I create heavens and new
earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor
come into mind.
But be We glad and rejoice for ever in that which
l create for, behold, create Jerusalem rejoicing
and her people joy.
~ And will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in My
people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more
heard in her, the voice of crying
Have you ever seen picture of the wall in
Jerusalem where the Jews go and weep and be-
wall the fate of their land? But the day is at
