Welfare Committee of The First
Church OF Christ, Scientist, in Bos-

men and IS women engaged in this
work, the women serving mainly as

The aim of the Christian Science
camp workers is to be as helpful as
possible to all the men in the camps.
whether or not they are Christian
Scientists, and particularly to give
assistance which may not be available
at the time or place through any of
the other camp welfare agencies. A
feature of this phase of the work is
an arrangement for keeping soldiers
and sailors in close touch with their
relatives.
This linking Of home and camp,
combined with the personal attention
OF the Christian Science workers in
the camps, has frequently been the
means of changing q soldiers out
