IS
Communion Service to be Held
in Underground Hospital
Holy Communion was administered
to eighty-six soldiers on Sunday at
Y. M. C. A. Buildings 75, 77 and 79,
Chaplains McFetri'dge ami Houghton,
and Rev. N. B. Groton, volunteer civil
ian chaplain of the Episcopal church
being th ecelebrants.
The camp will have on of its most
unique experiences Sunday next when
a service of the Holy Communion will
be held in the underground Field Hos
pital at Ba. m. The surroundings will J
be suggestive of the great spiritual
communion with those brothers in
similar quarters “Over there,” but who
are wounded and passing on.
A similar service of the Holy Com
munion will be held in Y. M. C. A
Building No. 77 (Engineers), at 8 a. in.
as notv regularly established for every
Sunday. All baptized men are invited
to receive.
Scores < f boys from the camp, but
mostly from the cavalry, enjoyed the!
hospitality of the rector and ladies
of the Church of the Good Shepherd
Wednesday last. The close of the
evening came all too soon.
A similar event took place at St.l
Paul’s Church with “open house” in
the new Parish Building- Thanksgiv
ing Day. Also, as usual, in the hour
preceding service Sunday evening.
A directory of members of the Epis
copal church is being compiled by Mr.
Meehan, Brotherhood Camp Secretary
Give him assistance in this good work
by sending names to his quarters, Y.
■ M. C. 4. Building No. 77. Christmas
"doings” in prospect will make this in
valuable.
Pleasant places for the boys to drop
in to meet and make friends are St.
Paul’s Church, Sunday evening, 6:30,
and at the Church of the Good Shep
herd every Wednesday at 8 p. in. Find
a cup of something steaming hot, and
toothsome etcetaris, to say nothing of
the plaesant company.
SCHOOL BOY’S PATRIOTISM
Here is a characteristic letter from a
boy in Johnstown. Pa., and we give it
with the original spelling:
Johnstown, Pa., Nov. 26, 1917.
Y. M. C. A. Hut,
Camp Hancoks.
Dear Sir:
The Hudson Street school of Johns
town • wishes for the secretary of the
Y M. C. A. to distribute the Johnstown
school news to the Johnstown soldiers
or other soldiers who would like to
have one. We want to show the Johns
town boys that not ever body in this
cruel world have forgot them. We
hope you will like them as there are
sorpe very interesting copies in it.
When ever you go to France shoot
strait, And make the world safe for •
Democracy. Think what Gen. Jack
son said to his troops, “ Stand to your
guns! See that every shot tells!" and
then the Germans will flee like sheep.
We will try. to keep the home fires
burning till the boys come home.
Yours truly,
KARL HARRIS.
There may be a few mistakes in the
spelling, but the spirit of Karl Harris
is the spirit that saved the Union —and
the gratifying thing is that this boy’s
letter is but the visible expression of
the dominating thoughts in the minds
of millions of boys of the United
States.
KILLED TEN GERMANS.
The Victoria Cross has been awarded
Corporal Filip Konowal, a Russian who
enlisted with the Canadian forces at Ot
tawa.
Single-handed, he killed ten Germans

was holding up an advance, killing the
crew and bringing the gun back to his
own lines. , ,
Next day, he attacked another machine
gun position unaided, killed three of the
crew and destroyed the gun with ex-\
plosives.
