D. D.. the new religious work director, at Building; 106. gave his first address to the sol- ! diers under his charge last Sunday, j He gave a very strong and practical message and several of the soldiers j accepted his invitation to talk with him personally about their religious . life. Dr. Brown was pastor of the West . Ilaven Congregational church of New j Haven. Conn. This is one of the strong L and flourishing churches of Ncw/f England. Y. M. C. A. building No. lUb nas , started religious work Sunday even- 1 ings at the remount station. Mr. lleorge II. Taylor will conduct these services and members of 10(> staff will . assist. The first service was held last > Sunday when Rev. (!. II. Allen . preached the sermon to an interested group of soldiers. His subject was. j "Christian Courage for Our Tasks." The commanding officers of the remount are giving this project every j encouragement and the soldiers seem enthusiastic for this service. i)WAHTMi:XT OF /Y liiXIOIOX AT "Y"104 j During the bad weather the religious work has progressed without- j out abatement. Attendance at the ; services has been above normal. j On Sunday. February 17, the First Army Headquarters Regiment band rendered a cracking good concert pre- , ceding the religious service in the , evening. They were obliged to re-; spond to several encores. Sergeant , Bandmaster ilooney tea trie nig sing , with his band accampanying hinTT j Sergeant Armbrust spoke on "A Man's Choices." The hut was full of men. | The service on Tuesday. February 19. was in the hands of Dr. McKeen. . camp religious secretary who led the singing. Dr. 11. H. Beatt.vs spoke (to : the men and won their hearts at once. At the close of the service 26 men ewerin the inquiry room with him.z i The home hour on Sunday afternoons during the quarantine pefiod j have been right up to the minute. Be- ! cause of the" Inclement weather and j i the quarantine we had to use soldier I talent and that has ranged from band i i concerts. Italian singers, to opera per- j formers. It is tp be hoped the weath- i i er will soon be such that the Charlotte j i ladies can again come out to assist . i and encourage. We- cannot have -a I real home hour without. , An innovation ha3 been inaugurated j in this hut. It is a religious reading room, tastefully decorated with cur- j tains, pictures, pennants, etc. Religious ? papers and books are there. Th? sign ^ on the door invites men to "come In. | rest. read, and be quiet.' It is the ] nearest thing to home in th? Whole j: camp. ' i Better weather has made it possible j to increase Bible class work. Lack j' of properly warmed class rooms great- ; ' ly handicapped us during the winter, j ' But ih spite of this, however., work ; 1 has continued throughout the winter j with very fine results. At present ; there are 11 flourishing classes lea by secretaries and enlisted men. Each Sunday morning a service of worship is held in the hut. The men I say they like it. In character they I are short and simple, appealing to the ; average temperament. It is mighty j inspiring to see this group of men in khaki worshiping Cod. |, We welcome Secretary Anderson. | who is an energetic religious worker, i A SOLDIERS' SCXDAY SCHOOL. f The past two Sundays have been | very busy days with the boys in "Y" j building 105. Sunday before last started off a line ; company of men interested in the i religious activities of the association. I A fine start was made in the orgaai- j zution of a soldiers' Sunday school, j Sunday afternoon Chaplain Peters, of the Thirty-eighth regiment held regimental 'servfcea Chaplain Hall, of j the Fifty-ninth occupied part of the i home hour. 3 to 4. with an inspiring j Bible lecture. Dr. Thomas Sprague. of , Troy. N. Y.. Baptist camp pastor, preached Sunday evening. During the day eleven confessions were made and 4 7 asked for and received Testaments. Seventeen signed the war roll and many enrolled for Bible study. Corporal George Willis, of Company (!.' Sixtieth infantry, also started a Bible hour with the men of his tent. He has increased the membership of his class to 50 men. They meet each Monday evening at 0 for study. ? INTENSIVE RELIGIOUS PROGRAM FOR CAMPS) Atlanta, tin.. Feb. 25.?At the recent i conference of all camp general sec- ' retaries with Southeastern department J headquarters staff held here Febraury | 18th to 20th. inclusive, it was decided : to conduct in the camps an intensive ; religious program during Easter week. | ending Easter Sunday. March 31. "As Easter week commemorates the l;ist seven days of our Saviot's say on this earth, likewise Easter week of i 1918 may be close to the last week for many of our boys in khaki and blue | on this continent for many months ( to come." said Associate Executive ; Secretary W. W. Alexander, a Mcth- i odlst minister of the Southern confer- I ence. discussing the plfin of the conffitence: "The"meon -eoon will be sailing overseas." "During: Easter week, away from . home and church, men will be hun- 1 gering in the camps for the proper religious services of all creeds. Nightly during Easter week ministers repre- . sentin the various denominations should conduct religious meetings in the Y: M. C, A: huts, with a service for alt on Easter Sunday." v The camp secretaries have returned a to the training camps prepared to obtain the co-operation of the various c churches from the nearbyi cities and t towns in arranging the intensive Eas- c ter week religious program. Palms j, and Easter lilies will be used in dec- j orating all red triangle buildings. H la riK?>I siuni muni jr AT HOSPITAL Y HELD J f! On last Tuesday evening. February * 19. the recently opened Y. M. C. A. j at the base hospital gave its first stunt j v night program, with Mr. Gray, of "Y" ^ Building No. 102, the chief attrac- C tion. Mr. Cray hails from Nashx'ille. C Tenn.. and has had more than ten ii years' experience in amateur theatricals. For several years he was di- n rector of the famous "Village Choit" c of Nashville which enjoyed* a repu- F tation through the south. Mr. Gray's 1 first number, a comic monologue on n both the bliss and the trials of mar- 1 ried life, was well received by an ap- v preciative audience of more than a three hundred doctors, nurses anu enlisted men. Later on in the evening a Mr. Gray gave a negro dialect fol- S lowed by character songs which'were n enjoyed even more than his first num- s her. He most assuredly lived up toll, his reputation as an entertainer and j c the base hospital will always be glad i n to welcome him back in the future. I But Mr. Gray was not the only, F stellar attraction of the evening. The' F base hospital double quartette, com-jfi posed of nurses and enlisted men. won 11< the hearts of the audience before j t! they had sung a single note, and even ( n afler they sang the crowd was still at their command. The remainder of n the program which was of the same F high-class talent follows: V Chinese Song. Geo. W. Ryder. N The Song of a Banjo (Kipling), it Miss Lizzell- tl Selection from Aida, Private Call- li trie. ?< Clog Dance. B. J. Davis. T Characteristic Dance. "Kid" Ray- c: lleld. - P Three Round Boxing Bout. "Knock- C out" Terelli and "Gunboat" Shores. o: It gives us great pleasure to an- C nounce that one of the chief features g. of next week's program will be a con- s< cert by Sergeant Zunder's fumous e; Base Hospital Jazz Band. n h FOOLISH IDKA OF A CHARLOTTE GIRL' ? ! C Private George Anders, o' the Sup- ^ ply Co.. 7th Infantry, was walking! ilown Trade street the other night i" ivith a young lady, and as he passed I ill the officers he saluted. After walking about Ave blocks and j passed about fifty officers, the young ?' lady looked George straight in the P jye and said: "George, you must be lwfully popular to know all these of- n Beers." ? f?

With the theaters, churches, and' JS vhat-not closed in the city and the imusement places at .Liberty park losed, Y. M. C. A. 104 was jammed o Its capacity Saturday night.

Some maerlul that had never exhibited itself iefore. appeared and proved its / landled by Private F. Friedman of 'ompany D and Private Fitzpatriclc Company M. both of the Thirty-ninth r afantry. First on the program was-a scrimmage between Private Scott, of M : \-^j ompany Thirty-ninth infantry and ~ 'rivate P. Valentine of Company C. -I "enth M. O. battalion. The argu- j ment was even all of the way and '1 ioth men showed to a good ad- I antage. The bout went two rounds i nd at times became rather hot. Next came Private A. C. Ruseh .. 1 nd Private G. R. Foster, both of upply company. Thirty-ninth. Those ! len were quite clever and drew con- .-;%j Iderable applause from the crowd. .ike the preceding go. this one be- . ame hot and a times it looked very , luch like a real battle. Sgt. A. Leslie, o'f Company K, 'ifty-elghth infantry and Private Q. | t. Roe. of B company. First N. H. urnished the amusement in tha. fol- V iwing match and certainly produced ^ j he goods. It would be. well if the * ;,.j len should be put on again. In the fourth struggle of the oveing Private' O. F. Anderson, of Co. .'JJj I, Thirty-ninth' infantry, boxed Priate C. P. Dabasol, of M.
