AVENUE NJ. L. CHURCH

During the last two weeks this
church has experienced one of the
most spiritual evangelistic cam
paigns it has ever had. Holland r..
Wilkinson, who assisted us in gospel
song, left Monday morning for his
next engagement. He did us great
service as all who heard him will
testify. The evangelistic note will
continue to be sounded in the SER
vices of the church.
The anniversary committee of our
Sunday school, which committee is
arranging the program for the CEN
tenniaI anniversary of the school, is
now hoping to soon have the pro-
gram in shape to make public an
nouncement. The anniversary will be
held for one week beginning with
January 2, 1927. Former pastors
have promised to return, included in
which are Drs. J. H. Wiley, r. X.
Stephenson, G. P. Jones, w. R.
Mowbray. On the closing Sunday
morning Bishop w. F. Mcdowell has
promised to be with us.
Next Sunday morning DR.. Thomas
Long, executive secretary of the
Strawbridge Home for Boys, which
is home for orphan boys of Meth
odist homes and it is a project of
the Washington area of which area
our conference is a part, will preach
for us and tell us of the work of the
home. No offering for this cause will
be taken; he just wishes to tell us
what we as Methodists are doing
for our own bows.

combat was a very small part of the
soldiers routine in those days as
it is at present and he found much
leisure for other and sometimes less
useful activities. Recruiting officers
of former days were much less care
full in the selection Of material to
fill up the ranks than those at pres
ent, and in consequence most any
one who could pass the examining
surgeon was accepted and made into
some sort of a soldier. Even under
those rather haphazard methods of
induction into the service, the major
ity were fairly good citizens, and
as the records prove, practically all
were dependable fighting men by the
time the drill sergeants got through
with them.
Pay Day and Amusement
At the time OF my first contact
with the men of the regular army
there was peace upon the. frontier,
in fact the " frontier" itself had pas
sed in Montana. Life was crude, per-
haps, but warfare with the red man
had practically ceased with the un-
fortunate Custer campaign and the
long. chase and capture of Chief Jo-
seph and his band by General Miles.
In consequence time hung heavy with
the soldier and he sought his pleas
ure and excitement wherever he
could find them, and be sure where
ever he congregated there was plenty
of advertisement provided under very
lax and tolerant laws. Action was
what he craved and it was usually
ready at hand in the form that mod
erns travel to Tia Juana to find. In
the hideous background of the ''hon-
keytonk" and with licensed gambling
and drinking, the slender pay Of the
enlisted man melted like the tabled
SNOWFALL in hades. "A glorious pay
day and then month of deadly mon
otony of duty and drill was the cycle
making up the existence of at least
a comfortable majority of those con-
nected with the army posts of the
territorial period of Montana. Even
to some of the commissioned person
mel, the blatant entertainment held
attractions that called for an occas-
sional visit of exploration.
Under such conditions the ways
of the soldier do not call for censure
particularly. He only sought such
amusement as was available and so
long as his money lasted was toIer-

A commission is within reach of any

trade that he may elect to choose,
to say nothing of the benefits of
sound physical training. For the

clear-eyed, self-respecting and loyal
citizen, commanding respect in what
