CENTER Chaplains Jenkins and Beck Conduct Beautiful Service at Y 232. Excellent Music Rendered. The regimental service for Groups One and Three of the Machine Gun Training Center on Sunday morning la«t, was of unusual interest to the five hundred or more soldiers who wor shiped at Y Building 232. The plat for mwas graced by the appearance of two chaplains, Lieutenants Jenkins and Beck; also the pianist, J. J. Wuerthner, leader of Group One hand, and Corporal Heinrich, of Company Two, led the singing and sang espe cially for the boys. Chaplain Jenkins, of the Third Group presided, and Chap lain Harris G. Beck delivered a short address on "The Great Battle Line." The text used by the Chaplain is found in Romans 10:15—"Flow Beau tiful Are the Feet of Them That Bring Peace and Glad Tidings of Good Things." Among other things he said: "Much depends upon the feet of the soldier. The term feet in our text is representative. The feet of the Chris tian soldier signify the prinejj. s upon which he acts. "In your drills, men, you go it 'right foot’, ‘left foot/ ‘one -two-, 'one tw'o,’ ‘heads up/ ‘eyes off the ground/ ‘right’ ‘left’ until the drill is so thoroughly apaft of yourself that nothing can corn-' fuse you or shake up your company step. "Your.right foot signifies ‘peace;’ the left signifies 'good things!’ Thus you go marching on holding the dignified among the Allies that our nation ' as taken. O, the tramp of our armies! How beautiful! Bringing peace and good things to a blood-drenched con tinent! "Since the breaking out. of the war our vocabulary has been enriched with new words and expressions. Situa tions before undreamed of, emotions never before aroused, and deeds never known before must find an avenue of expression. The word 'slacker’ is a vigorous one. A more detestable thing cannot be hurled at a man. "I. -My first statement about the Great Rattle Line is that you are drafted for service. "Why apologize for asking, ‘Are vou a Christian?’ Every man is drafted. There are no exemptions. You are the recipient of all the blessings of a Christian nation. In the common ac ceptance of the term among other re ligions you are a Christian. "The Training Cantonments are the Churches and Sunday Schools and kin dred organizations of our land "ll.—My second statement is: ’You must go’ 'to the front/ "No battles are fought in training camps. The enemy has strongly en trenched himself out where our daily activities lie. "The armies of sin that are arrayed against you- making unusual drives upon you are to be handled and de feated only by wise marshalling. Them are great divisions of twelve thousand each in the devil’s army. One division, under General Discontent, another un der General Cuss. Each imp in this di vision represents one of the many thousand ‘cuss-words’ you have heard. Other generals are Adultery, Jealousy, Hyprocricy, and Greed. "You must stiffen your line- of re sistance. Your Captain -The Lord Jesus Christ—in more than a match in battlefield maneuvering against the enemy of your soul. "Til.—-Another statement I want to make is ‘Th t. you must buy bonds.’ "We have always been encouraged to buy Liberty Boflds. "There is another Bond more im portant. It is prepared and stamped in the blood of Christ. To be paid for on the Installment plan. Here a sacrifice, there a self-denial. "It Is pro-German and pro-devil to talk of hard times. America’s waste still is shameful. Her tobacco fields should be planted to corn fields Her booze farms should be changed into dairy farms. The greatest waste of all is the non-producer. He should bo seized by the government officers and made to become a producer or sent to the trenches. I’m not sure that wo want him beside us in the trenches. "IV. —But what of all this ‘lf we don't go over the top?* "To fail is unforgivable. O horror of horrors! That the Kaiser should get the lives of our fighting men and the devil get their souls! "It shall not be. Men —the kaiser may get some of us. The devil shall not have a single khaki thread. "The Allies are going ‘Over the Top’ in the defense of democracy and the establishment of world pence. In out battle-line of righteousness we will drive the devil to that world over which the kaiser may rule some day. In the battle-line we do not light alone. Our chum—our soldier-brother is near—ho fights at our side. " ‘Who is my brother? If he stand With placid smile and folded hand. While I in sorrow walk life's way. And stumble oft, and rise and pray To him for aid —Go seek another. Such an one is not my brother. " My brother comes ere 1 can call. He strengthens me lest 1 should fall. His word is clear, his voice is kind, He helps the poor, he leads the blind. His gentle voice my moanings smoother He comforts me. He is my brother! " ‘He may not have a wealth of gold, THE tySWOOD.

AIKEN GIRLS TO ENTERTAIN SOLDIERS A Group of Eleven Girls of Aiken, S. C„ Organized to Provide Entertainment For Hancock Men A group of eleven fair young ladies of Aiken, S. (\, headed by Miss Minnie Su- j rusky, have recently organized them- Aolvos into what i.s called "The Soldier Boy’s Friend." The purpose of this group, as set forth by Miss Surasky, is to be ! everything the name implies. The debut of the. club was a splendid example of the sincerity of the group to | provide the soldier boy with those things which he of necessity lacks in military life. Last Sunday a week this group gave a picnic to twenty-five soldiers of Gamp Hancock. That the soldiers were more than pleased with the affair arranged for them is attested by the fact that the news of the picnic, eighteen miles awa> from camp, reached our office through channels other than those present. Ap parently there is a great deal of gossip about it. Doctor —Your throat is in a very had condition. Have you ever tried gargling with salt water? Skipper—Yes; I've been torpedoed six times ” JEWISH WELFARE BOARD BUILDING READY SOON Long-Felt Need to be Met in Structure Erected Near New Hostess House on Wrights boro Road. Capacity to Ac commodate Five Hundred Sol diers. Dedication to Occur j Shortly Wftlv the erection of its building on I Wrighraboro Road adjoining the Hostess ] House, the activities of the Jewish Wei- I fare Board are assuming larger dimen- I sions than ever before. The need for I such a building where all its activities I would be centered was felt for a long I time. Because of its limited quarters 1 at the Y 76, the J. W. B. has hitherto been , unable to provide the large number of j Jewish soldiers who have daily visited I its office with ail their needs. The J. W. I FL. however, feels greatly indebted to the I secretarial staff of the Y 76 for the as- I sistance offered the Board in meeting the I great, demands made upon it by the sol diers of the Jewish faith It is expected that the dedication of the building will take place within a week or so (the definite date will be announced I \ in next weeks Trench and Camp) and will J mark one of the finest affairs in Camp. Arrangements for the dedication are in I full swing. In a statement to the Arench I arid ('amp. Mr. Elkin, head of the Jewish I Welfare Board of this camp, said that he I has the co-operation of a large number I of officers and soldiers who are assisting him in making the dedication an event that will Jong be remembered. A com- I plete program of the evening will be printed in the coming issue of Trench and Camp. The seating capacity of the building, according to the statement of Mr. Elkin Is from four to five hundred. It will have am extended porch ten feet wide with all accomodations for writing purposes, A large collection of English. Hebrew and Yiddish books will be placed in the buiid i ing and will always be at the disposal of | the soldiers. j In addition to the Jewish and Hebrew' I books placed by the J. W. B. at the (’amp Library, the Hoard has received a large supply of seta of Sholom Aiejchem. Ye hoash. Lihin. and other prominent writ- i eds in the Jowigh literary world. Ar- j rangements have also been made for the I receipt of all the Anglo-. Jewish and Yid- I dish newspapers published in the coun- I try. I SOLDIERS INVITED TO FREE SWIMMING POOL ! Scarcely a day passes but that con- I tingentn of soldiern from other camps Is bound for Camp Hancock find tha 11 swimming pool at the Augusta Y. M. | C. A. the most refreshing feature anil their journeq. Tired, dusty and some j I times hungry, the men aake a bee- •[ line from the station to the Y. M. C. A., j| where they check their clothing, take j I a hot bath and swim and then visit ■ one of the restaurantj. ; „ On Sunday afternoon a detichment! * of Marines visited the association. I All were laden with barracks bags and 11 other impedimenta. They we • per- j spiring freely and had evidently been I on the train for some time. As they I were welcomed to the association and I invited to make themselves at home j I by having a bath and swim, one of the I stuff said: f How did you klnw there was a Y. I M. C. A. here? Did somebody tell I you ?” t "You dont’ have any trouble finding I the Y. M. C. A. these days,’ ’said one I of the men. "It's the first place we ask I for." ; From time to time, officers and men J who have visited the association have j said: "I didnn t know there was aY. i M. C. A. in the city Others say: "I knew there was ;i "Y” in town, but I didn't know you hud such a fine swim ming pool.” For that reason, we invite th© sol- | diers at Camp Hancock and sailors and 1 Marines who stop off here, to tell the other fellow about it. The pool is open . from 9 in the morning until 10 at night, every day in the week. Hundreds of men are using the pool to their great Joy and satisfaction and there is no* more < >oling spot in the city these j warm days. A charge of five cents for soap and i towel is the only fee. Three hundred new towels were added to the stock re- | cently and at the present time there is no shortage, even on Saturdays and Sundays. We invite the soldiers at Camp Hancock to have a swim with ‘ us. CHAPLAIN BECK TRANSFERRED Chaplain Harris D. Beck, formerly | attached to .
