|WIN THE WAR
_J
The last Sunday in January, tomor
row, has been appointed by the
church war commission as the day on
which the final drive will be made to
raise $500,000 to carry on the war
work of the church for the ensuing
year. The commission asks that an
offering be taken in all the churches
of the country on that day. It is their
desire that it should be made a great
popular contribution. The commis
sion’s bulletin, “The War Call of the
Church,” makes a strong plea that
we follow up our boys who are in the
chaplains. This is no one’s fault. A
i_ . 1
great war has come upon us, and we
are unprepared. New laws and meth
ods of administration must come.
Clearly the church must get to work.
Last August the Presiding Bishop, re
alizing the situation, created a war
commission of clergy and laymen to
act for the church in these and other
war relations. He appointed Bishop
Lawrence of Massachusetts its chair
man. Bishop Perry of Rhode Island is
training camps or have gone to the
front. “Now, when they are sensitive,
to every influence, they need as never
before the friendship and spiritual
leadership of their own clergy; they
need the assurance that their own
church is with them, ready to help.
Last July, 40,000 young men were in
the thirteen officers’ training camps,
preparing to officer and thus give tone
to the new army. And yet there was
not a chaplain appointed for tihat
body of 40,000 men. Today, in great
cantonments of from 25,000 to 50,000
.'•''"'••luiiiMiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiimiHUHmillHfimuUIINIIIHmillllimlillilJUIUJMUUUlUJIMlWiIJillJJjJ?
men, there are only from two to six
the executive officer. Through the
generosity of a layman, the commis
sion has an ample office in New York.
Although there was no commissioned
I chaplain appointed for those 40,000
young men last summer, yet the
church had in or near every camp, by
the permission of the commandant, a
strong and sympathetic clergyman,
whose duty it was to become the
friend of the church boys and men,
help them and minister to them
There are scores of smaller camps
scattered throughout the country,
with several thousand or several hun
dred men and boys in each. Every
parent in the church will be glad to
know that their boy can turn to a
strong spiritual leader of their own
church for advice or cheer. The com
mission is placing, through St. An
drew's brotherhood, picked men of
maturity and force, who, as secretar
ies of the Y. M. C. A., will have special
thought for the boys and men of our
own church, not to draw them apart
from others, but to prompt them to
do their part in the moral and religious
influences of the camp. Today the
commission is placing, with the per
mission of the commandants, volun
tary chaplains in all the great camps.
The nation provides the surgeons with
surgical instruments, but provides no
equipment for chaplains. We are
surely unwilling to have a chaplain
beg for his altar and service books,
a motorcycle or a Ford.”
A special service will be conducted
at the Episcopal church tomorrow at
4 o clock to which the auxiliary chap
ters of the Red Cross are invited in
particular.

Some ignorance is refreshing. For
instance, we were talking with a cloth
ing dealer the other day, and he said
that it must have been a big job to dig
the Panama canal all the way from
New York to San Diego, Cal — We ask.
ed him how long the canal was. He
answered that he did not know, but
that it must be close to 10,000 miles.
We endeavored to find an alibi for
this lack of information in the poss

tion. But questions disclosed that he

the Spanish-American war, although
he got no nearer to the front than

His mistake, doubtless, was In de
voting his entire attention to his busi
