 |lady visitors. Any soldier can have his mother, sister or friends ta visit him at the s(Y building, there sEe will findsa private place to spend the time with sons, brothers or friends which is certainly appreciated by each soldier boy At the Y. w. (. A. Hostess House which is located only one block from the rsilroad station here, we may register our name and company if we are expecting lady visitors, on their arrival they will De well cared for anl made to reel at home, with the accommodation of a rest room where they are made welcome till the soldier arrives in the evening or at fixed hour for his arrival, these and a number of other things are provided through the "Y'' for the soldier boy in camp.
 On Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock a Bible class is taught in each build ing, at II we hswe sermon by some one of the camp Chaplains or by some visiting preacher, also preaching at 8 o'clock Sunday evening. At ''Y' No. 37 3rd Reg. on each week day evening at 7:3O Vesper Service is held. You, none of you, will ever know what that means to one who tries to live the Christian life, to go over each even ing and join in service of a few and nso1onk 11o service is turned oyer to some kind os program. All kinds of programs are rendered at each "Y" building, readings and music are most always furnished by the ladies of Little Rock
 On Tuesday and Saturday evenings a free picture show is given, which is equal to most any picture shown in the city's picture shows.
 We also enjoy the boxing and wrest- ling match which often proves to be very interesting.
 l will tell you something of the meeting at our "Y" on last Sunday evening, over 500 boys were present and after a real old timS song service, Chaplin Mallory delivered a very torceful sermon at the close of which 36 young men gave their lives to God and united with the church and said with Gods help we will fight in his name and should we fall in battle on French soil he who has saved us will take us to our home in glory, 36 Am erican mothers will be made happy this week when they learn the glad news that their sons have found and accepted Christ as their Savior.
 One boy who was dressed in the American uniform when he first began to attend "Y" he cared nothing for it only as 'st means of attaining free writ ing material and the nice writing table he always found furnished with pen and ink, after he had come in a few evenings the secretary began insist ing upon his coming into tbe auditor ium to attend F, meeting which was being given, so he di5 so and on his return to his barracks he told his pal where he had been and decided to write song, the chorus read thus:
 You can picture me every evening At the close of the day
 Writing letter,
 At the Y. M. c. A.
 Don't worry mother darling
 For while the sky is gray.
 l can find sl little sunshine
 In the Y. M. c. A.
 This is not fiction, it is real facts the song was written by young man who is serving today in cur great Am er1can army. This soldier, when he wrote this song spoke the sentiments of hundreds yes thousands O. young American hearts. We all find a little sunshine in the Y. M c. A. The only thing We ask of the folks as home is to put up your money that we may always have the Y.. M c. A. in our midst. The rlan in the gray shirt is the "kh2ki' EOVS' hoct fr;op5
