American Y. M. C. A. Workers Teach Returned Ruesian Soldiers Useful
Trades
With the Government &t Washington prepared to lend economic and
philanthropic support to Russia, the National War Work Counctot the
Y. M. C. A. is actively recruiting to reinforce the Red Triangle “Workers
already manning huts over there. Agricultural experts, physical direc
tors and regular Y. M. C. A. secretaries as well as other men familiar with
welfare work in communities are baing sought.
A further consideration of a definite policy toward Russia has served
virtually as a “go-ahead” order to the association. The Y. M. C. A., through
all uncertainties of the past few months, has kept 100 of its secretaries in
Russia. These men have been kept busy day and night in an effort to
build up the morale of the citizens and soldiers of the unfortunate coun
try. The secretaries today are in all parts of Russia.
In the dark days of Russia the American secretaries “stood by” all
over that country to serve the people in every way possible, Thousands of
invalid prisoners were taken care of as they returned from Germany. Most
all the men were broken in health. They died, almost without exception,
with curses against Germany. But greater even than their hatred was their
wonder that their countrymen could have made “peace” with such an
enemy.
“The Y. M. C. A. leaders in Russia,” said Dr. W. W. Alexander, direc
tor of the. War Personnel Board of the Southeastern Department, National
War Work Council, “have never doubted the essential soundness of the
Russian people. Despite all difficulties and inevitable losses and discour
agements, the Y. M. C. A. has remained in Russia, seeking to serve and
watching for a better day. The day is now evidently coming.”
Fifteen new secretaries, with ability to contribute some constructive
element to the Russian Hfe of the future are being searched for throughout
the Southeastern Department. Some agriculturists are wanted, some
business men, but the®all comes stronger for men skilled in rural Y. M.
C. A. and Community work. All are to go with the purpose of helping
Rupsia help herself.

MRS. CHARLIE N. ELDER.
Mrs. Lou Williams Elder,
wife of Charlie N. Elder, of
Monticello, Ga., passed away
on June 5, 1918. ' She was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P.
M. Williams and was sixty
years old.
Mrs. Elder was a lovable
woman and a deeply pious
Christian. Her relations in the
home were tender and affec
tionate; her genuineness and
sympathy apparent, and in her
unselfishness ‘it was a joy to
serve others. Her piousness
was of such a pronounced type
that her presence in the home
was a benediction. She was a
faithful wife and loving moth
er. From her girlhood she
lived a consistent Christian and
was a loyal member of the
Baptist church.
Whereas, our Heavenly
Father in His infinite love and
wisdom has removed from our
midst our friend and co
worker
Be it resolved:
First, That we humbly bow
in submission to the just will of
Him who doeth all things well.
; Second, That the. memory of
‘her sweet, cheerful patience in
affliction, and goodness will be
an inspiration to us.
Third, That we extend to the
bereaved family our heartfelt
sympathy and pray that God
may comfort and sustain them.
Fourth, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the fami
ly, a copy be spread on the
minutes of our Society and
copies sent the Christian Index
and Monticello News for pub
lication. :
