DR. SOIiOMON IiECTURES AT CAMP GREENE. On Thursday night. May 9, Dr. npnfi? Solomon, under the auspices of the Jewish Welfare Board, lectured at Y. M. C. A. 105. Dr. Solomon, a Rabbi, formerly of Savannah, Ga., Is now a resident Rabbi and in charge of (he Jewish Welfare Work at Camp Wadsworth. His lecture was worthy of comment from two angles. First, it is probably the first time in the history of Camp Greene that a Rabbi has ever lectured on Jewish subjects before a mixed audience ol both Jews and Gentiles, arousing the enthusiasm and holding the interest of all his audience. Dr. Solomon touched on many subs'' Jects of interest to the'men. In one case, the importance of every one being himself and an individual. This theme was especially interesting. Another subject he touched on was the relations existing in the past and ir the present day, between the Jew and the non-Jew. In spite of his mixed audience, Rabbi Solomon treated thlt matter in the frankest possible manner and aroused great enthusiasir among all those present. Private Sapir, Thirteenth Field Artillery, said a few words of farewel and his utterances were frequentlj interrupted by outbursts of applause The Jewish Welfare Board has al ready made arrangements to have Dr. Solomon here in the near- future and will endeavor to have him speafc in each of the Y. M. C .A. buildings. DR. RAISIN TO BE RESIDENT RABBI AT CAMP GREENE. The Jewish Welfare Board at Cami $v Greene has just received official wore that Dr. Raisin, the Rabbi of Charles ton, S.

ACTIVITIES OF THE WEEK. The usual afTairs were held at the clubroom at town at 409 West Sev ' enth street, and all were very mucn enjoyed by the men. On Wednesday night the customary dance took place. \ Privates Sapir and Cohn, of the Thirteenth Field Artillery, made their final 1 appearance before the gathering. After having sung some of the pieces ' in their repertoire, they made a few ' farewell remarks in which they expressed their regret to leave the ' friends whom they have, made here but were happy because they could now achieve what they had aimed for 1 in the army. The usual smoker was held Satur' day night and on Sunday night the regular entertainment took place, both of which were very much en joyed. JKWISIl HOLIDAY THURSDAY NIGHT. Feast of Pentecost, known, by many as "Shebuoth," takes place this Thursday night. This holiday celebrates the giving of the law on Mt. Sinai to the children of Israel. The holiday brings > home the great need for the guiding I principles of religion. The Jews - brought from Egyptian bondage r would have left no impress upon the t world, were not the ten command ments given them to free their souls and to give them real liberty. The 1 genuinely free man knows that liberty means not only promoting the m individual or national well-being but so living that our acts conduce to the general good. Today of all times the message comes to us more significant than ever, for we are now engaged in the great war for^he perpetuation of democracy among all nations. The festival will be celebrated in the clubroom between the Y. M. C. A and K. of C. buildings at 7:30 p. ni. (Thursday night. After the service a talk will be given on the meaning ol Shebuoth and this will be followed by - the distribution of dolicacies, and en1 tertainment. ! PROGRAM FOR THE COMING WEEK.

THE BIBLE CLASS OF SOLDIERS / I The closing notes of "To the Colors' ~ Had drifted through the evening mist And the ranks were at "Attention." Waiting for the taps "Dismissed." I When up spoke our sergeant, I Saying. "If a minute you will spare, j I've a Bible class this evening, j And I hope you'll all be there." I What! A Bible class for we-uns? ' Sure that sounded mighty queer, | For by some the Holy Scripture 1 iin/in't lioon for manv a vear. !""" * ; Then, you know, we're in the army : And we're trained to fight and kill? j Fighting spills a lot of life blood, j That's iigainst the Father's will. 1 But the fellows got together, | Talked in groups about the street, | Wondering why the Lord had chosei i Soldiers in His class to meet. Up spoke one, a gold old-timer, : Saying, "Soldiers can't be saints; I Angels ne'er will make good fighters I Love a strong man's record taints." I At last the time drew near for start ing, (And the lads came straggling in; | 'Till the mess-shack filled to flowing? Not a man was free from sin. | Then the meeting opened proper: I A hymn, a psalm, a word of prayer, i And the men whom life had hardened J Found sweet peace and comfort there | Memories of childhood wakened; Thoughts of prayers at mother's knee As she tried to show the pathway, Through the life that was to be. Then the meeting closed in silence, Heads were bowed?how good 1 seemed x To be back again with Jesus, By His goodness all redeemed. SERGT. ROY G. DOWNS. J 6th Co., 4th M. M. Regiment.
