M., New York, New York, He was a soldier at Camp Gor don, near Atlan'a, a great big strapping 260-ponnd Georgian, a member of the National Army, the selectmen, they are called in the South. He was among the first arrivals and when the young men from the Southern States, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and the Carolir.s innocent youths many of them, who had never been away from home before, begun to come into the camp by the hundreds, he smiled inwardly and laid his plans. When even ing fell he inveigled these hoys by groups into bis company and keeping out of sight of his supe rior officers he started a poker game. It wasn’t long until the youngsters began to lose their] money and he was beginning to look for new victims. This went on for some time. Finally one evening, while seek ing other lads upon whose pocket money he might prey, this big, husky, specimen of military hu manity strolled into a meet'ng which was in progress at the Army Y. M. C. A. building near his quarters. When he entered a man was speaking to a crowd of soldiers. He listened and heard an appeal being made to the men to lead clean decent lives amid the un usual conditios which they faced. The speaker urged them to re member their homes and home ideals, to play square with each other and to be helpful to those who were younger, weaker and lass ex' ■ ienced. The=e words got hold of some thing inside of this 250-pound bulk of flesh and bone and it brougnt to him memories of his own home and with it' a realiza tion of the duty he owed to his kin, his fellow fighting men, his country and his Maker. He rose to his feet and made public con fession of the wrong he had been doing. He told how he had taken advantage of men whom he should have helped. He announ ced his repentance and stated his determination to lead a Christian life. The next day was Sunday. When'the hour came for the morning Bible classes at the ‘"Y” building, a procession was seen marching toward the Associ ation quarters. It was headed by Mr. 250 pound Georgian. Be hind him came the 177 men of his company. He marched them and when those now in camp go! overseas in large numbers— to j j say nothing of the great need ! which exists among our Allies in France, Italy and Russia—will require 4,000 more secretries end and hundreds of buildings by July 1, 1918. To expand and maintain the work in these pro portions $35,000,000 must be sub scribed. To raise this fund a nation wide campaign is to be conduc ted from November 11 to 19. Where the Liberty Loan and the Red Cross funds were required to meet the physical necessities of the Army and Navy, this money is to go to supply the mental, social and spiritual re- quirernenls of millions of men under arms. The heln of every American is impertiive in this cause. An Artist Without Equal A few years ago Prof. Thorn- well Haynes, at that time super intendent of the High Point, N. C,, public scho Is, now n leave of absence during the period of the war in order that he might serve the country diplomatically, said of Mrs. William Calvin Chil ton : “I would rather hear her read ‘Polly of the Circus’ than to sec it produced by the best theat ric..! companies in New York City. She is,an artist in her line without an equal.” On Mr Haynes’ recommendation Mrs. Chilton was included in the High Point Lyceum Course that year, appearing again the next yeur, giving entire satist'actio ■, and she has appeared two to a half dozen times in many, many towns throughout the South. Our people will welcome the visit of such an artist when she appears here as one of the regular Lyceum numbers under date of Novem her 14. Expression Class to Give Play The members of the Expres sion Class are preparing to give a play, “The Farmerette,” at an early date. This play will be given for the benefit of the Red Cross and promises to re one of the best entertainwents of the season. Interesting from start to finish. Everybody invited to come and help the Red Cross fund. Watch this paper for date and program.

This is a type of the work which is being done in nearly 600 buildings and tents in nearly 234 different army camps and naval stations in the United States by the War Working Coun cil of the Y. M. C.
