pecially by her class in the Sunday
school who attended the funeral SER
vice in a body.
All departments of church service
found in her a cheerful and willing
worker. Her services in the choir

ADOPT "Y' HUT SYSTEM
Service to A. E. T. INSPIRES
Chinese.

Paris (By Maids ixty-nine Chi
nese Y. M. G. A. secretaries have
been so impressed with the work of
the Association among the armies of
the Allies that at conference recent
ly held at Versailles, they decided
that similar methods should be adopt-
ed in China. The use Of huts like
those used so effectively in the ARMY
camps will bring the work of the "Y''
in China directly to all the people.
whereas now it reaches chiefly the
higher classes.
Chinese coolies by the hundreds of
thousands were used in the labor
units in France, and these men for
the first time came into contact with
the work of the Association. Native
secretaries were provided as far as
possible.
Some of these, it was decided at
the conference, will remain in France
and some will go to Great Britain to
study in schools of practical arts.
There were thirteen students, as
many preachers, half dozen teach
ers, a cowtester and boy scout Sec
rotary among the professions repre-
sented at the conference. The men
came from widely separated parts of
the republic, Manchuria, Shanhing,

BOY SCOUT CAMPAIGN
A Movement for Nationwide Cam
paign Opens June 9th for One
Million Members

palgn "Opens june OLE IoI Oiic
Million Members
For the first time in the history of
the Boy Scout Movement, a nation
wide appeal on a comprehensive plan
is made for the support Of the Ma
tional Organization. Scouting has
ben developed and operated for the
last nine years practically on a self
supporting basis. The income from
registrations, printed matter and sup-
plies have about covered the running
expenses Whatever field and extern
sion work has been done has been
dependent upon volunteer contribu-
tons. ~

ance with the terms of its charter
renders a report annually to Cons
gress. It's accounts are audited by
Certified Accountants, Haskins g.
Sells. A copy of it's Ninth Annual
Report with a full detailed account
for all receipts and expenditures for.
the year 1918, and description of it's
operations will be sent upon request,
to any one interested. Local scout
officials will cheerfully make it avail
able their copies of the Ninth Annual
Report if desired. +
The record of achievement and uni
versally recognized value of the Scout
Program educationally, has led to the
conviction that the time has come for
definite plans to largely extend the
Movement. This can only be accom-
plished with adequate financial re-
sources.
1t had been originally planned to
ask local councils and each communi-
ty where local councils are to be or
ganized to assume definite quota of
a minimum sum for the extension and
field work of the Scout Movement
during the next year. Isle
Hon. w. G. McAdoo upon assuming
the Craftsmanship of the Citizens
National Committee suggested, and
the Executive Board after careful
consideration unanimously approved,
the development of plan similar to
that which has been so successful
with the American Red Cross, namely
to provide for a membership in the
Boy Scouts of America, under condi-
tions which will give many people an
opportunity to have a part in extend
ing the influence Of Scouting.

CHAPLAIN MOODY
Showed Wonderful Will Power anc
Grew Stronger in Training Wis.,
iting His Boys Daily

From the Boston Globe of Sunday,
June 1, in the article headed "Parson
Preached to HIMSELF" by Capt. Jean
B. LeMcitour, the following is taken
relative to the work of Chaplain
Moody while he was chaplain of the
103d Infantry:
But here is an example of another
sort, case where will power master
ed fear, silencing it first and after
ward making it disappear complete
ly. This happened to Chaplain
Moody, then attached to the 103rd
Infantry.
When he was with his regiment at
Liffol-le- Grand, near Neufchateau,
Chaplain Moody visited his boys prac-
tically every day. His means of trav-
ell were not very luxurious, but il
was very practical, and you could see
him on the road going from one bat
talon to another in an ambulance. In
sector, the car was not practicable,
and as Chaplain Moody wanted to go
on with his work, to see his men as
often as possible, he had to walk.
He was regularly every day in one
part or another of the first line held
by his regiment. | often had occasion
so with him. though Chaplain
Moody was sturdy and we'll built. |
thought first that he had used the car
too much when we were in Neufcha-
teau area, and that he was out of
training.
Every day l noticed that he stood
up better; he improved too rapidly
for me to believe that it was ques-
iton of physical training. At the end
of a fortnight Chaplain Moody could
march whole day at time; he pas
sed his time in the front lines and
returned in the evening as fresh and
lively as if he had been on mere
stroll.
l allowed myself to congratulate
the chaplain on the results he had OBJ ,
tanned in so short a time.
But" he said to me, 81 find my
self neither more nor less tired than
formerly; | am not afraid any more;
that's the whole story"
"What do you mean, fear? Why
do you talk to me about fear?"
II speak of fear because for a
good many days have suffered ter
ribly from it. If you noticed that |
was tired before, it was a question
of being out of training-not out Of |
moral training, but physical train
ing"
A few days later we were on the
way back from the front lines, and |
noticed that for some time the enemy |
artillery fire had been coming down
on a ridge where one of our observa-
ton posts was situated, and by which
we had to pass.
Not for the world would Chaplain
M oody change his route. The en-
envy fire was not a barragc in inten-
sity, but it was very fast and it was
an enormous risk to go past that
place at such time. But the Chap
lain would not break training when
he was going so well, and he did
pass by there, obliging me to go into
training of which l felt no need.
"You understand" he said to me,
