WASHINGTON -- (NC) -
This year marks the 200th an
niversary of the establish
ment of military chaplains in
the American armed forces,
and the National Guards near
ly 500 Protestant, Catholic and
Jewish chaplains plan to OBJ
serve the bicentenniel.
The National Guard Bureau
recalled that the tradition pre-
sent-day chaplains are carry
ing on was started during the
French and Indian Wars, when
volunteer militia units the
predecessors of the modern Ma,
tional Guard - fought in defense
Of their homes. With many of the
militia outfits went the town
clergyman as unofficial chaplain.
Older than the nation itself, the
National Guard is rich in tradi'
tions - foremost among them the
fact that all Guardsmen are volun'
teers. Another is that religion is
an accepted part of National Guard
activities, the Guard Bureau noted,
and members of the Guard are Civ.
en- every opportunity to practice
their personal religious beliefs.
The Bureau pointed out that
there was no Regular Army until
1790-that it was volunteer militia
units that won Americas freedom
in the Revolution. Civilian clergy
men acted as chaplains with many
of the units - most of them Prot,
eStants, but also including several
Catholic priests. A Jewish rabbi al
Newport, RI, also ministered to
the needs of Jewish soldiers in the
Continental Army.

the us. Army - evolved, and each
chaplain received a captains pay
$50 a month.
But II wasn't until 1888 that
Congress passed q law providing
for Regular Army ehapIains. Dur
ing the Civil War, hospital and
regimenfal ehspisins were pro-
Vided for by law, and for the
first time chaplsins were given
official rank and required TO re-
port regularly on "moral and re-
ligioUs conditions, and such sus-
gasfions as may eonduee 10 ths
social happiness and moral I'M
proVement of the troops"
There were 70 National Guarc
chaplains at the time the us. en-
tered World War /, and the mum
ber increased many times as ad
ditional thousands of men were
called to arms. And it was after
the first World War that the Army
Chaplains Corps was formally or
ganized and all Army chaplains
including National Guard, given the
rank and pay of commissioned of
ficers.
In 1910, hundreds of National
Guard chaplains were mustered in
to Federal service when the Guar6
was modified for World War II
the same thing happened in 1850
81 when many Guard units were
called up for the Korean emergen
cy.
Today, the Guard Bureau said
nearly 100 Guard chaplains are
still on extended duty with the
Army - and represent eight pei
cent of the total in the chaplains
Corps.

Christ as King; the frankincense

were sweet: gold and franklin

myrrh. Myrrh, used for burial,
was significant of death. Perhaps
no other Mother in the world

death at the moment Of the birth
