which had been in charge Of an old
Frenchman in the village who had
conducted services many years be-
FORE" he continued. 1--WE also found
a shofar, and with the cooperation
of the Y. M. C. A. authorities we
transformed the auditorium into the
senblance of a synagogue.
The services, as far as possible,
were in the traditional fashion,
somewhat abridged, but with the
addition of the English prayers.
There were present from 500 to 600
enlisted men and officers from head
quarters and points in the vicinity.
In addition to the American Jews
there were French Jews, Algerian
Jews, and British Jews present. I
feel that it was the most responsive
congregation any minister ever ad-
dressed.
1--WE had similar service on the
Day of Atonement, the men par
ticipating even to the extent of read
ing from the law and chanting the
memorial prayers. On the even
ing of New Years Day some Of the
men permanently stationed at Great
Headquarters arranged a simple dim
ner at the modest hotel in the town
in order to produce as far as pos
sible the home atmosphere. AS
guests we had Bishop C. H. Brent,
Chief Chaplain of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces, and the Mayor
of the town. The guests paid a
tribute to the spirit of the Jews with
the Expeditionary Forces. Chaplain
Dougherty was present on the sec
ond day of the services and said a
few words Of greeting to the men,.
"On the afternoon of New Years
Day I visited a shell shock hospital
where twenty Jewish men were as
sembled. A special tent had been
set up on the hospital grounds for
the service which was arranged with
the cooperation of the hospital
authorities"

THE OLD scHooLRousR-
In q green shady nook by the roadside.
On the brow Of a sheiiering hill,
A primitive old-fashioned schoolhouse
Was standing so peaceful, SO still.
For years it stood in the shadow
OF forest OF evergreen trees.
Where the birds build their nests in the
branches,
And mingie their songs with the breeze.
Ny thoughts oft revert to that schoo,house,
And the sehoolmases OF long. long ago,
when we played on the hillside in summer,
And in winter built forts in the snow.
No matter how dreary the weather,
We were happy, we knew not care,
While we mingled our voices together
In lessons, in song. and in prayer.
Several hours were devoted TO study,
But as soon as our days work was done,
Both teacher and scholars were ready
To engage in their season of fun.
We were eager to prove the old adage
That "all work makes Jack a dull boy"
And thus, when our lessons were ended,
We welcomed each pastime with Joy
Oft, in fancy, enter that schoolroom,
And gaze on those benches so SCARED.
Where the misehievous boys with their jack
knives
Our initials had whitfield and carved.
can see the old desk where the teacher
Kept his bible and ruler secure,
And the classes engaged In their spelling
Toe tine line by a crack in the floor.
There are few OF those sehoolmates remain
ing,
Some roam other places and seas;
Some silently sleep in the churchysrd,
In the SHADE of the evergreen trees.
A new house is now in erection;
Its future, no one can foretelI,
But our hears fondly cling to the old one,
The sehoolhouse we all loved so we'll
