Widen Is One Of 46 Ministry
Students at Infantry Camp

CAMP LIVINGSTON, La. =
Against the staccato background OF
machine gun and automatic rifle
fire, as Camp Livingston soldiers
twice a month put aside their jobs
of learning death and destruction
to discuss plans to serve Coo IN
a world of peace.
Among the members of this nu-
usual group is Private Stamford
Widen. son of the Rev. and Mrs.
Henry F. Widen of Glasgow.
Coming from all parts of the
country and more than a dozen
religious sects- there are II Bap-
fists, four Lutherans, four Method
lists. and from one to three each OF
10 other denominations-the men
have one thing in common: a desire
to enter the ministry after COM
pleting the military service.
All are in~fantrymen except three
army service forces men attached
to camp headquarters. Most of them
are taking training as infantry re-
placements. Two Sundays each
month they gather at one of the
camp chapels to discuss. not ques-
lions of creed or ritual, but the

Many of them are preachers sons
and virtually all had decided upon
the ministry before they entered the
service. But they chose to volunteer
Or accept induction rather than
claim IV-D exemptions as minis
terial students, feeling they could
serve their generation best in the
future if they served with it in the
present.
Maj. A. B. Polsgrove. camp chap
ain. heartily endorses their attitude.
The future policies of the United
States will be determined largely by
he men now in uniform he says.

morrow who has shared the life of

led to fill tomorrow's pulpit"
