And he often does manage to forgot about everything, x^hen his days away from home are also days away from God, Training days should be days of mo re or less strain,but not less restraint The soldier should relax but not collap se spiritually. Ho should relax his body but not his morals while he is in train ing, Ho should not go back to the bosom of his family physically fit but spirit ually devestated. He should go back, not only to hear, ’’How much better you looky but to know in his heart, «How much bet ter 1 am,» W&ile in the Army, the trainee shou Id hn.VG a good time, A good time, to be really good, must have goodness in it, A training suggestion: while you tan benea thr the sun put your soul »in the pink" Treat it to a little retreat.
