“A Soldier and His
Woes”
o
By Clinard F. Davis
A soldier is nobody,
You’ll hear lots of people say.
He’s an outcast to the world,
And all ways \n the way. *
I’ll acknowledge we have lots of
bad ones,
From the “Navy to the Marines”.
And we have lots of good ones,
Some as good as you’ve ever seen.
Now, most people condemn a sol
dier.
When he takes a drink or two.
But, do^ a,soldier condemn you!
WTien you take a few?
No, you shouldn’t condemn a sol-j
dier,
You should grasp him by the hand
Because the “uniform” that he
wears.
Means protection to our land.

lucky indeed is
the soldier who ob
tains a Christmas fur
lough and spend|s a
portion of his holiday
season at home, but
what about those hun
dreds of thousands of
American boys in our
Army who will re
main on duty in the
cantonments and island bases and,
in sarrisoning distant outposts?
Tne answer4s voiced in a song—
a glorious hymn that will be heard
from virile young throats singing
in praise of Him in whom reposra
mankind’s steadfast ho^_ in this
dark hour of the world’s history.
The hymn, a favorite of the
American soldier and of his fere-
bears in arms since' colonial camp'
fires, “0 Come, All Ye Faithful,”
will be sung in 200 new Army
chapels where this year Christmas
lervices vnll be held for the first
time.
In his spiritual life, Army chap-
^ lains declare, the citizen soldier
I finds the closest tie linking military
duties with the cherished customs
of his home. Especially among
young men from the farming com
munities and the towns and smaller
cities the observance of Christmas
in the camps will not be unlike the
progrmins in churches throughout
the land where friends and neigh
bors assemble for the Christian
festival. In Army chapels the
same midnight services will be
held, the youthful worshipper will
join in the same inspiring music, he
will hear again the same messagres
of hope, the same fervent prayers
for peace and good will.
During Yuletide the singing of
familiar carols will enliven the
camps, not only in the training
areas at home but the same music
of cheer and comfort will echo from
the cliffs of Iceland and the wastes
of Greenland as well as among the
tropic shores of Trinidad, Guiana,
ana the Orient. For the Chief of
Chaplains has announced the dis
tribution of the new Army and
Navy Hymnal, a book containing
the beat in sacred themes, subdi-
-vided for Protestant, Catholic, and
Jewish forms of worship. Sjpecial
visitations vill be made to the hos
pitals. Neither will the inmates
of the guardhouse be overlooked.
All will share the spirit of Christ
mas. ,
At this season the 1,62$ ohap-
lains in our Army take stock 6f
their effbrts through the Vear, and
the chief of Chaplains advises the
Chief of Staff as well, as the home
folks that most encoura,ging pi*og-
ress has been made for th« Spiiit-
ual well-being ; of the troops.
Where 11,640,000 soldiers attended
religious services during the last
'fiscal ye{u: with ail average 6f '97.8
persons at each servicie> it is
pointed out that there is how a
much larger participation and a
corresponding mcrease in the min
istration of holy sacraments.
Said a veter.^ chaplain:
“The tradition established by
those pioneer soldiers who bowed
in prayer on the eve of Bunker Hill
and in the storm-swept camps at
Valley Forge is still alive in the
hearts of America’s defenders in
arms.”
