Build ings which were standing 400 years before America was discov ered stunned the Imagination of our men at first but before long ' they, like the.Vicar, were calling . everything : 'modern' built since " " 180- .'T v "The thing we had a hard time overcoming was the feeling on the - part of the men that they were in a museum when they were in these :' rdent places of -worship. To vsx tome this I asked the minister uj ' egin or close the tour with a yer and a word to the effect k l- i-at for 800 or 900 years God ha been worshipped in this very building and is still being worship ; ped here. , '' - n "One of the greatest Joys to my work is the wonderful support! receive from my officers in church attendance, for church attendance, like every thing else in the Army, , starts 'at the top and comes down.' . "I had an interesting experl " ence recently. I preached a ser- - mon on 'Profanity, directing my " efforts against the taking of God's name in vain. Without my sug- ; gestion or Knowledge (Until later) two officers' barracks set up col lection boxes into which every man who used the Lord's name in vain had to drop a shilling (about 20 cents). Twice I had to give rul ings on whether 'Gosh Ding or 'Golly Darn', or some such should be counted or not. -It lasted about 6 weeks until some of the officers had to move out, at which time the money was turned ovejj to the ' Chaplain's Fund, In one box I re member there was something over Five Pounds ($20.00).' . .
