The Quintette is receiving

has the tendency to raise the

churches it makes them feel
that after all their laborS in
the Army are appreciated, The
chaplainS of this regiment are
doing all within their power to
build Character and raise the
morale of the men so that they
will not leave the Army disil-
lusioned and cynical toward
the church and the servants
thereof, but will return to
civilian life with a revitalized
faith, with broader value of
religion to man and nations,
and with an increased toler-
ance towards men of other
faiths. The final efficiency Of
the Army is not measured
simply in terms of numbers or
mechanical equipment. 1t is to
be measured in morale and
great factor in morale is the
existence of a vital religious
aith. With such vital faith
soldiers can and will take
hardshipS and face danger and
feel the strength that somes
from a source higher than their
own. 1t is the duty of the Chap
lains and other commissioned
officers of the Army to endeav-
or to cause the enlisted men
to feel and really to know that
the fight is worth the price
they might be called upon TO
pay; they must impress THEM
with the fact that their safety
and that of their relatives is at
stake; they must be aware that
the issues are clearly drawn
between civilization and bar
barism, between liberty and
slavery. We feel that we s-e

In a few instances fear was
expressed that Boston might ex-
perience a duplication of the
conditions which led t othe riot
in Detroit last month. But most
persons felt that in Boston,
noted for fairness and the &C
ceptance of rational views, the
matter would be adjusted even
without resort to the courts.
Agitation over the rejection Of
colored applicants, it was point
ed out, would likely be seized
upon, distorted and spread by
o o-faScist individuals and
groups for the purpose of Great
ing confusion and disunity as
an aid to Hitler.
The new projects nearing
completion and already COM
pleted were designated for ten

conferences last winter between

EASTER 1q42
By RUTH TAYLOR
For Charles SteyzIe Inc.

1t is in the spirit of humility
and purpose that we will go
out this Easter morning to eel
citrate the great festival of the
Church-the day the commem-
crates not the sorrows of eartn-
ly life, not the Way of the
Cross, but the Resurrection
the Victory of the Spirit over
the flesh.
Day by day we climb to our
Golgothas. We cannot shift our
burdens to another's shoulders
We cannot shirk the steep hills
and the heavy weight that
seems as unbearable as it APP
pears interminable.
We celebrate this Easter in a
spirit of solemnity. To many
o fus the coming months will
bring theen d of all that made
life seem worth living. Far too
man yof us will be forced by
the irreligious and inhuman
gluttony of the dictators for
loot and power over the lives
If men to tread the narrow
ways of sorrow. No one of US
will be unaffected by this war
But no weight is too heavy,
no way too long when we know
that at the end there will he
an Easter morning. 1t was this
translation of the lessons of re-
ligion into the terms of living
that brought forth the great
old spirituols which lighted the
way of people up frof bond
age. 1t is this spirit, this reali-
cation o the Importance OF
evil, that will carry us through
the darkest hours.
For in hours peace we
learned faith, and in the hours
of strife we still remember the
words of Hif whose Resurrec-
ton we celebrate Peace I
leave with you, my p eace I
give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not
your heart be troubled, neither
let it be afraid. This is my
commandment, That we love
one another, as I have loved
you. Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends"
