With me In berth No. 6 are my old

This linking of home and camp,
combined with the personal attention
ot the Christian . Science workers In
the camps, has frequently been the
means of changing a soldier's out
look from one of gloom to one of joy,
and not Infrequently it has proved to
be the means of relieving relatives of
financial embarrassment, the com
mittee in the home state making
loans for use by the relatives until
their boy in camp should be prepared
to forward money to them.
The net result, for which the Chris
tian Science committees and camp
workers have received many com
mendations, has been a noticeable
raising of the morale of many men in
the service and the development of
a better feleing at home regarding the
participation of their boys in the ser
vice. The camp workers say there Is an
increased willingness among the com- .
manding officers and surgeons to al
low Christian Science treatment tor
those men who ask for it, and many
Christian Science healings have been i
recorded. Recently, two requests for
Christian Science services in hospital
wards were received by camp work
ers from medical ntirses who had ob
served the beneficial effects of Chris
tian Science treatment
In or near numerous camps, the
Christian Science Committees have
erected substantial buildings, with
quiet places for reading and writing,
and other buildings are in course of
construction. A light touring car haa
been added to the equipment of the
Christian Science camp workers at
each camp to be used whenever and
wherever possible in assisting the
men.
