Christmas Carols in the Camps 9
, Feature American Soldier’s Yule
■■■■■ LUCKY indeed is
the soldier who ob
-13405 a christmas fur *
lough and spends a
M portion of his holiday
, season at home, but
what abdut those hun-
dreds of thousands of
■ American boys in our
. . ▼ B Army who will re
main on duty in the
cantonments and island bases and
in garrisoning distant outposts?
The answer is voiced in a song—
a glorious hymn that will be heard
from virile young throats singing
in praise of Him in whom reposes
mankind’s steadfast hope in this
dark hour of the world’s history.
The hymn, a favorite of the
American soldier and of his fore
bears in arms since colonial camp
fires, “O Come, All Ye Faithful,”
will be sung in 200 new Army
: chapels where this year Christmas
services will be held for the first
time.
In his spiritual life, Army chap-
I lains declare, the citizen soldier
finds the closest tie linking military
duties with the cherished customs
of his home. Especially among
. young men from the farming com
’ munities and the towns and smaller
cities the observance of Christmas
in the camps will not be unlike the
programs in churches throughout
the land where friends and neigh
bors assemble for the Christian
festival. In Army chapels the
same midnight services will be
held, the youthful worshipper will
join in the same inspiring music, he
will hear again the same messages
of hope, the same fervent prayers
i for peace and good will.
During Yuletide the singing of
familiar carols will enliven the
camps, not only in the training
areas at home but the same music
of cheer and comfort will echo from
the cliffs of Iceland and the wastes
Greenland as well as among the
tropic shores of Trinidad, Guiana,
uad the Orient. For the Chief of
Chaplains has announced the dis
tribution of the new Army and
Navy Hymnal, a book containing
be best in sacred themes, subdi
vided for Protestant, Catholic, and
I -Jewish forms of worship. Special
visitations will be made to the hos
nfcals. Neither will the inmates
the guardhouse be overlooked.

All will share the spirit of Christ

At this season the 1,626 chap
lains in our Army take stock of
their efforts through the year, and
the Chief of Chaplains advises the
Chief of Staff as well as the home
folks that most encouraging prog
ress has been made for the spirit
ual well-being of the troops.
Where 11,640,000 soldiers attended
religious services during the last
fiscal year with an average of 97.8

pointed out that there : s now a
much larger participation and a
corresponding Increase in the min
istration of holy sacraments.
Said a veteran chaplain:
“The tradition established by
those pioneer soldiers who bowed
in prayer on the eve of Bunker Hill
and in the storm-swept camps at
Valley Forge is still alive in the
hearts of America’s defenders in
arms.”

MALONE BUMPS SEMINOLE
18 TO 14
By Lewe Johnson, Jr.
———
I A strong squad of boys from Ma
! lone, Florida knocked the Seminole
five into the beaten ranks once more
•vhen they administered a 18 to 14
• licking to (he hard fighting Seminole
souad. It w?s a verv clean game with
■•.•md sportsmanshi p shown by both
ides. The game war, played before
; a scanty crowd, but those who did at
t tend sa'<>' many thrills.
■ The "^Jils game was another vic
tory for the Seminole girls who de-
I iCTitcd the We’.t Bainbrigde sextet 31
to 21; thus racking up their fifth vic
tory to ho defeats. The guards should
be given much cr-dit for this defen
sivo work which kept the West Rain
’widge offense bottled up. There will
j boa brief r -.t dining the holidays be
fore the two teams resume practice
for their ne v t mine versus Hopewell
in Hopewell on January 3, 1942.
Non there are diversities of gifts,
but the same Spirit. —I. Cor. 12:1.
Every man shall ■ ive as he is able,
according to the blessing of the Lord
thy God which He hath given thee.
