our car back to Spartanburg,
where we held a second service
Of the morning in the little Lu-
theran church. In the evening
we held still another service,
especially for soldiers.
On Monday morning we were
in camp again, where we dis
covered several men who had
been unable to attend communion
the previous day. Two Of the sol
diers who should have been bap-
TIED and one who had desired
confirmation had also been de-
tanned. They were leaving on the
morrow. There was nothing else
TO do but arrange a service, so
on Monday night we met in a
little classroom in Y. NJ. c. A.
No. SO, where it was our pri-
yilege to receive three more sol
diers into the church and to
give the Lords Supper to eleven.
Tuesday we learned that an
other regiment was about to
move, and that meant another
hurried canvass. That night we
were looking for men in Y. NJ.
{. !. Unit 81, when both Pas
tor Wind and myself were call
ed to speak. We both gave i'm
promptu sermonettes to an au-
dience of some 300 men, among
them many Lutherans. It was
on the morrow that we complet-
ed the canvass and arranged for
the service mentioned in the be-
ginning of this article. It was
agreed that Pastor Wind was to
take care Of the weekly Wednes-
day evening Soldiers Social in

vice in camp. That was the eve
ming when sixty-two more men
received the sacrament.
In four days we had baptized
six of our boys, confirmed TWEEN

that the old Gospel story does
not still appeal to the hearts of
men today2

The Spirit Of God was truly pre-
sent among US. The men seemed
stirred and moved as men sell
dom are. One regiment had left
during the day these men were
to leave on the morrow. The
Y. NJ. c. A. was all astir and
hustle. Some were writing let
tiers home, others were sending
their surplus belongings. But soon
the hour for my special service
drew on, and the men took their
places. About 300 soldiers fill
ed the room.
"Tell me the old, old story
we sang, and then I began to
preach. The men seemed to be
hungering for the old Gospel
story, and I tried with the help
of God to tell it to them. They
listened with rapt attention.
"Seek we the Lord while He
may be found; call upon Him
while He is near was the Word
of God that seemed to make its
deep appeal to the men.
| had arranged to hold a pri-
vate service IN one of the class
rooms after the main meeting.
Two boys had been prepared
for baptism, and a third for con-
firmation. During the day we
had also notified our men in
the regiment about to leave that
all who desired to receive the
Lords Supper would be given
the opportunity hat evening.
Just three days before we had
held a communion service in the
adjoining Y. NJ. G. A. building,
and | did not look for more
than a dozen or so communi-
cants. Instead, sixty-two soldiers
crowded into the class doom,
making it necessary to throw
open three rooms instead Of one.
Twenty-three other men crowd
ed into another room to sign
the Y. NJ. C. A. war roll, and
eight of them told the Y. NJ. C.
A. secretary that they had never
before professed Christ.
Never will I forget our little
aftermath servicel The rooms
were so crowded many of the
men had to remain standing.
Both of the men baptized had
recently been in the base hos
pital. One was a lad from Maine,
whose mother had died in his
infancy, and he had never be-
longed to any church. The other
was a Norwegian from Wiscon-
sin, who told me his father was
Lutheran, but his mother a Ca
tholic, consequently he had never
been baptized. When l found
him sick IN the hospital and
preached the subject, he want
ed to write to his people first.
Then l lost sight Of him for a
while until a few nights ago,
when | found him in a Y. Nj. c..
A. building. He was 50 overjoyed
at meeting me again he could
scarcely restrain his tears. His
people, he said, were anxious
that he should be baptized, and
he himself was so eager he could
scarcely wait.
After the baptism and the
confirmation service we held a
brief confessional service. Sixty
two men, including a. Lutheran
Y. NJ. C. A. secretary from Balti-
