The message will be delivered from
platforms in the Y. NJ. C.. A.. huts
where everything from a minstrel show
to. boxing bout has been staged. But
to the American soldier it will be like a
peek into the old life. and like meeting
an old friend when the ~" man from
the states steps on the platform to in
terpret the message of the first Easter
day since the end of the fighting
But to the "Y'' men themselves it
will be a day unlike the Easter days
back home-so filled with peace and
good will and leisurely cheer. To the
"" men 1t will mean riding all day
over shell torn roads In a "flivver,"
stopping at frequent intervals to step
upon the platform and deliver the
Easter message.
There aren't enough clergymen in
France to go around. So the circuit
rider system has been adopted. Each
~ man viii deliver at least ten
Easter messages to the doughboys In
France and with the Army OF Occupa-
tion in Germany. Among the number
will be several well known ministers
from prominent southern churches. in
Guiding DIR. Wilmer, an Episcopal rec
tor from Atlanta: DR.. Richard Orme
Flynn. Presbyterian minister from At
lanta, and DIR. James Vance, well
known Presbyterian minister from
Nashville. Tenn.
The spirit OF the American Easter
service will be thoroughly injected into
the gatherings in the ~, huts by the
singing Of Easter music which has be-
