Army MICA. and Your Boy

OF all these is general canton
ment secretary with hve or six as
sistants.
The first substantial help which
the Y. NJ. c. A offers your boy at
the camp is a cheerful social center.
a place where he may meet and
chum with the other boys, where
he may write letters, read helpful
literature, listen to good music,
play innocent games, and lounge
about during all his free time IL he
wishes to do so.
The second valuable service of the
army association is that of more
formal instruction and entertain
ment. Lectures on the methods and
purposes Of the war. on interesting
problems OF science and sociology,
and various concert performances
A third highly significant cOntri-
button of the Army Y. NJ C. A. to
the well-being of your boy is to pro-
vide both the opportunity and posi-
tive encouragement for him to live
a normal religious life during his
time Of enlistment. In this regard
the association tries to be thor
oughly non-sectarian. The general
motto is: Be religious Serve God
as you know him and keep the
Spirit at work within you
This more directly religious serv-
ice is conducted on Sunday even
ings. There are stirring songs of
spiritual uplift. There is a twenty
minute talk by an invited speaker
along the line of the need OF re-
ligion in the career of the Ameri-
can soldier. There is perhaps a
brief Bible reading and a prayer.
For this service the boys pack the
place to the door. Is your boy at
home faring so well spiritually?

the change in her appearance. She
looked worn ard tagged. There was
a worried. restless and anxious look
in her face. Making a pItifuI at

she told me that Geraldine was still
with her, but anyone could detect
the evident WEAKNESS of this poor
guest-ridden woman.
And how could you expect her to
be enthusiastic at this late day?
Even Geraldine must have heard at
boarding school OF weber's Law OF
the Emotions, which states that II
