Such help is I mttfeUy appreciated. i.V^ Our home hour each Sunday afterjt noon has the home touch. It has f. -.worked wonders with some men.

W. Johnson, Mrs. k.i;KenAiick, Miss Alexander, Miss Peasei -ley, Miss Robinson, Mrs. Mather, Mrs. '.^rlCttrpby, Mrs. Smith and the Misses fr3MtAl and Katherine Johnson. This was one of the most successful enterrtalnment events we have. had. We 'will not soon forget the bravery of ' iiMtim Robinson's "stage" husband. At 7 o'clock in the evening building 106 was dedicated with fitting ceremony . and enthusiastic appreciation. iShort addresses by Mr. Hawkins, Rev.

This is what the. red skins call "real SOLDIERS HEAR SERMON ^ BY REV. GEO. R. STAIR. An inspiring religious service was held recently at T. M. C. A. building No. 108, when Rev. George R. Stair delivered a strong sermon on the text, "And the vessel which he made of clay was marred in the bands of the potter," Jeremiah 18:4. He pointed out that every life was marred but that we were as clay in the hands of the potter and God could take our marred lives and make them beautiful. He pleaded with the men to put their lives in the keeping of Jesus Christ One hundred and sixty-one men responded to this manly challenge and dedicated their lives to the Lord. Almost all of the men in the laree audience of over seven hundred raised their hands for prayer. It was an inspiring service which will long be remembered. Dr. Thoburn, head religious director. was present and led in prayer. The South Dakota quartet rendered several selections at the enthusiastic call of the soldiers. STIRRING MEETING AT BUILDING NO. 108 A stirring Y. M. C. A. meeting was held in building 108 on Sunday evening, October 7. The music was in charge of Miss Nell Dixon, who was ably assisted by Mrs. Moody. Both of these ladies are well known in Charlotte and are always welcome visitors at Camp Greene. Miss Dixon sang two solos, and Mrs. Moody, besides accompanying Miss Dixon, also sang. The address of the evening was made by Mr. J. H. Armbrust, religious work director of Y. M. C. A. building, ins Th? mihWt of Mr ArmhniM'a I address was, "The Man Who Had j Power." The 500 men present seem- j ed In full accord with the speaker | and It is assured that those who had never "thought to think of the sub- 1 Ject" were caused to think this time. After the meeting, many of the boys j stood around the piano and sang from the new Y. M. C. A. hymnal. Y. M. C. A. NEWS NOTES. One bunch of soldiers has on van anti-swearing" propaganda, due to an address by a Y. M. C. A. secretary. May their tribe increase. It happened in a mess shack Sunday evening. "Like peaches," was asked a Y. M. C. A. man by a soldier. "Sure, shoot 'em across. Don't you like 'em." "Yea, but I had such a good dinner down town today that I can't eat much this evening. A lady took me home from church for dinner." Keep it up, you people of Charlotte. We Y. M. C. A. men like that game right well. Th? fnllnwlnff ran be heard all over camp: "Gee, those people In Charlotte are treating us fine." Sure, I what else could you expect? Commanding officer, Colonel J. J. i McGuinness. Adjutant, Oliver S. Perry. Football is taking an inning among 1 the members of this command now and several promising teams will be put into the field during the coining season. Company D and the machine gun company are putting in all their spare time now in the development of strong teams. The machine gun company will soon be ready for a practice game with any team in the division. It is hoped that the balance of the Montana troops will soon be with us as they were to ba relieved last week by the 24th colored troops. Montana troops have been in the service since the 26th day of March, being one of the first regiments summoned to the colors, and during that time has been bridges throughout the state and the Northwest. They will surely be glad to escape the irksome guard duty as was the battalion now at Camp Qreene. Montana boys want to get in every hour training possible (or the work that is to come "over there" and this can be better accomplished in the presence of the whole division. The officers mess has been fully established under the direction of Lieut. Theodore T. F. King and is giving entire satisfaction to the officers of the regiment The cooking is under the supervision of Hart Conklin, who had charge of the officers mess at Douglas during the call last summer. From the looks of things the boys from the Treasure State are becoming well acquainted in Charlotte. Nearly every one appears to be entirely satisfied with their stay here and much praise is heard on all sides for the hospitality of the good people of Charlotte who have taken the Montana boys into their churches, their homes and their fraternal societies. Troops from the far West know how to appreciate hospitality and will always repay by showing themselves to be gentlemen in every respect. We are glad to see the troops from our neighboring States, North and South Dakota, arrive.
