OUh FIGHTING FORCES AND RELIGIOUS AGENCIES
nNE Of the distinguishing features Of this great war
~ in which we engaged is the wholesome
enec That religious and quas-relgOus agencies are e1

American soldiers being sent into the night fortified
by love Of God love country love OF family love OF
friends and love OF humanity They are ready 10 make
tho supreme sacrnce n II he necessary for the protection
Of those things against tho Hun hordes that hunger 10
hold humanity beneath the German heel
And speaking Of the religious side OF the American
part Of the conflict, II Ia not amls TO call attention
to the fact that tho American Bible Society has ssue
bulletin setting forth that very attractive edition of
The New Testament In BREWER type bound IN flexible
cloth cover decorated appropriately has been prepared
for gifts to hospitals and hospital ships; realizing that
too soon the boys OF American forces will be need
Ing such attention. The Book Of Psalms in a similar
edition has also been prepared for tho same purpose
Tho New Testament sells at twenty-five cents and the
Psalms al fve cents.
Since the entrance Of the United States into the war
on Good Friday April 1871 the American Bible Society
has issued in is Army and Navy editions 2saiss vol
nmes OF Scriptures BY FAR the greater part OF these
have been free sifs to the chaploins Of tho United
States army and navy FOR distribution among the troops
and TO the War Work Council OF the Young Mems
Christian Association for the same purpose Special
rates have been made all the other copies I'm all
cases below cost and often very much below the cost
Of manufacture The society expresses gratitude that
II has been possible TO give this service to the American
forces and to the American churches
Two weeks before the time promised the special
grant OF million copies OF New Testaments 10 tho
army and navy through the Young Mems Christian
Association fulfilled and 1000 volumes in addition
delvered this In spite Of all the very great difficulties
which had 10 be overcome. owing to the fuel trans
poriation and climatic conditions Of the winter
Those are few OF the many facts which show the
important part that religion playing in our war work
