Holy Week religious services were fea
tured during the past week, a religious
service having been held each evening
bginning on Sunday and ending with
Easter. At these services a number of
good speakers were heard, some definite
results were manifest, several War Rolls
bing signed as a result. Dr. Jenkins of
St. John’s delivered a strong message
on Friday evening in connection with
the Good Friday service. On Saturday
evening Dr. Strong of Baltimore, who is
now attached to our staff as Religious
Director, delivered an address here in
the shape of a “to the point” gospel mes
sage. which was well received. A special
feature of the week, which was really a
surprise treat, was the party accompany
ing Dr. Jenkins on Thursday evening
composed of Mrs. Jenkins and daughter,
Miss Elizabeth, Mrs. O. A. Moran and
Miss Hattie Moran. They came in when
the movie show, preceding the service,
was about halt over. In connection with
the religious service Miss Jenkins, with
Miss Moran as piano accompanist, ren
dered in a delightful manner, several se
lections, which were thoroughly enjoyed.
So much was the music enjoyed that the
audience insisted upon more after the
service had ended, and a half hour of
real sing song was much enjoyed.

Saturday night last for a ten days’ in
tensive conference at Blue Ridge, N. C.

quired of all Building Secretaries in the

“Y” buildings. At times our building
has the appearance of the baggage room
of a terminal station, a large number of

to be the maximum linyt of baggage al
lowed for the over sea journey.
hearty welcome is given a detach

GOOD MOVIES
AT TENT 234
Still very much on the map, even if
we didn’t get any space in last week’s
Trench and Camp. Secretary Bicksler
is still on his furlough back in the
Show Me State. During his absence,
Secretary Richards of Building 75 has
been in his place.
Although Tent 234 cannot accommo
date as many persons inside as the rest
of the buildings in camp, its movie
theater probably takes first place in
size. The screen is outdoors. Every
week sees the movie fans increasing in
number and a few more pictures like
we had Friday night “The . Lottery
Man,” and the attendance will see a
rapid rise.
Saturday night Dr. Bunker of Build
ing 79, showed a number of stereop
ticon slides of Africa, following which
he showed the “Life of Christ.” These
views were enjoyed to the utmost and
a complete evening’s entertainment by
Dr. Bunker would be enjoyed.
Schedule for the coming week.
Thursday night, religious meeting.
Friday—Movies.
Saturday—Movies.
Sunday, 7:30 p. in. —Religions ser
vice.
Monday—Wrestling and boxing.
Tuesday—Movies.

The Easter services at Building 78
were very impressive and each service
was well attended by men of the 112th
Regiment. Rev. N. B. Groton, civilian
chaplain of the Episcopal Church, cele
brated Holy Communion at the early
service at eight o’clock. This was at
tended by several officers and a large
number of enlisted men, members of the
Episcopal Church. The Regimental Ser
vice was held outside the building, at
which time there were fully two li.au
sand men in attendance. Rev. Groton
delivered the Easter message. Chaplain
Hall assisted by Secretary Adams cele
brated the Holy Commufiion at the even
ing service. This was a very impressive
service. Chaplain Hall gave a very time
ly Easter message and Sergt. Short ren
dered a solo in a pleasing manner. The
last service of Easter was the Bible
Class which was held after the Com
munion service. Secretary Adams was
the teacher.
Holy Week was observed by having a
special speaker for a half hour before the
regular program of the past week.
The social activities of the past week
were confined to' the two moving pic
ture productions on Wednesday and Sat
urday nights. ‘ The Lottery Man” was
one of the most interesting pictures
shown at this building for a long time
and "The World Against Him,” had
enough thrills to satisfy the most ar
dent lover of melodrama. Secretary
Smith conducted a snappy sing song on
botly Wednesday and Saturday nights.
French classes and Teacher Training
class met as usual during the week. There
will only be one more meeting of the
Teacher Training Ciass.
A boxing match, tumbling, and 1
concert on Friday night was great!.,

depleted this week. Secretary Hughes
