lt has been the most im
pressiw eveuing I have yet ex
periestuted in Paiin lvadsworth
The spirit of God was trul)" pre
sent among us. The men seeanecl
stirred und iuoved as men sel
dom are. 0ne regiment had left
during the day; these men were
to leaw on the morr0w. The
Y. M. C. A. was all astir and
hustle Some were writing let
ters hon1e, others were sendEng
their surplus helongings. But soon
the hour for my special service
drew on, and the men took theirl
placæ. About 300 soldiers kill
ed the room.
«Tell me the old, old story,"
we sang. and then I began to
pro-ach The men seemed to be
hungering kor the old Gospel
stoer and I tried with the help
of God to tell it to them. They
listened ach rapt attention.
·«Seek ye the Lord While IIe
may he found; eall upon Him
while He is near« was the Word
of God that seemwl to make its
deep appeal to this men·
I hasl itrranged to hold a pri
vate serriee in one of the class
rooms after the main meeting.
Two boys had been prepared
for haptism, and a third for con
firmation. During the day we
had also notified our men in
the regiment about to leave that
all who desired to receive the
l-ord’s Supper would be given
the opportunity that evening.
Just three days before we had
held a communion service in the
adjoining Y. M. C. Ä. building,
and I did not look kor more
than a dozen or so communi
eants. Instead, sixtytwo soldiers
crowded into the class doom,
making it necessary to throw
open three rooms instead ok one.
Twenty-three other men erowd
ed into another room to sign
the Y, M· C. A. war roll, and
-,«ight of them told the Y. M. C.
A. secretary that they had never
before professed Christ
Never will l torget our little
al·ter-1nath servicel The rooms
were so crowded many of the
men had to remain Standing.
Both ok the men baptized hadä
recently been in the hase hon
pital· 0ne was a lad from Maine,
whose mother had died in his
intancy. and he had never bis-l
longed to any ohuroh. The other-l
was a Norwegian from Wiscon-(
sin, who told me his rather was1
Luther-am hut his mother a Cas»
tholic, consequently he had net-er
been baptized When I found
him siek in the hospital and
broaehed the subject, he want
eicl to write to his people first.
Then I lost sight ol« him for a
while until a few nights ago,
when I found him in a Y. M. C.
A. huilding. He was so overjoyed
at meet-ins me asgain he could
scarcely restrain his tears. His»
people, he said, were anxious
that he should he haptized, and
he himselk was so eager he could
scareely walt. l
After the baptiam and the
confirmation service we held a
hrjef contessional sen-ice sixty
two men, including as Luther-an
Y. M. C. A. seoretary krom Ball-i
more, knelt with me on the rough
pine floor and joined in the con
tession of Zins. Oh, that our
people at home might have wit
neased the gripping etwa-tue
and unkeigned aineerity ok these
ment There was nothins in their
hour ok strei- that could give
thun streth and eomkort ex
eept the old, old Goapel message
of a Mcikied Busoni-, Eis body
given for us, Eis blood shed kot
us. Yet there m those who

ut the writer, and perhaps I
shall never see him again. But
the mutt- messnge he lett he
hind han that njght made an
indelihle impress upon my heart,
net-er to he forgotten That one
testimonial was worth a whole
1it«e«s ministry.
The last ten days here have
cannot even rentember the kaoe
hcsen tuinsualhf hlessed days. I
knew we had many of our Im
theran boys from Minnesota and
XVisoonsin in one ot· the hig re
giments, hnt that they had been
movecl so rapidLv krom place tol
leaee very little opportunity was»
Jgiven to work among them. Twoi
Tweoks ago they eatue haek from
the rifle rang(.-, and then rny

copy of onr Army and Nat-F
Serviep R«)-«)k, and tinnonnoed onr
eommnnion servieos for the fol
Iowing Rundazc Bach day I fol
lowed the same program, ealling
the Lutheran men together for
devotional serviees in the mess
hells, and urging them to eomssl
to eommnnion on sunday. In
Company C there were twenty
eight Lutherans, Ootnpany D for
t)·-three, Company E forty, and
Company P twenty-seven.
On Thnrsday 1 found thirty
two Lutheran boys in Company
G nnd ijtystwo in Company H
We had those two Comspanies
meet together for a devotional
serviee, and the but-heraus in
these two eompanies alone num
bered almost 100 men. so we
eontinued until the end ok the
week and then prayed that the
Lord might give ns a hlessed
sttnday. Änd Ile did
Chaplain c«hest(«r gnve us his
honr in Y.M.C.A. hnilding No.
Oft and when the time of ser
rins arrjved..the men hegen to
swurm in. This in spite of the
tatst that- the regiment was en
gagpd in paeking up for den-art
ure and unable to attend. We
estimated there was hetween 400
and 500 men present.
The first part of the servieel
eonsisted of haptism, two sol
diers having requested the holy
ritt-. The-n follows-d the confirm
ation of a elags ok eighteen men.
lt was an impressive thing to See
those stalwart men line up in
Inilitary fashion before theireon1—
rades and make their profession
ok faith in the Lord Jesus. Änd
when l asked the usual questions
the answers eame in no uneins
tain tone· And the men them
selves were moved lt was no nn
eommon sight that morning to
see men in tear8. No donht it
reminded many others present
of their confirmation day. It was
my privilege to preaeh the ser
mon, after whjeh Pastor Wind de
ljvered -a most impressive com
munjon address. About 200 men
remained for the eommunion ser
viee and every one ok them
knelt on the kloor daring the
eonkessjon ok sing. Even Chan
lsin Oberster-, wemtomed to many
sights in the army, was moved
W teilt-s.
b «The most impressive thing I
iever gaw in my lib," he de
Jolared after-wurde 1

our ear beok to Spaltean,
where we held a second serv-ice
of the morning in the little Lu
ther-en ehnreh. In the evening
we held still nnother serviee,
especially kor soldiers.
On Monde morning we were
in eitme again, where we dis
eovered several men who had
been nnwble to attend eostnmnnion
the previous day-. Two ot· the sol
diers who should have been bep
tized and one who hed desired«
confirmation ihad also been de
tnined. They were leaving on the
morrow. There wes nothing else
to do but arrange a servioe, so
on Mondny niight we met in a
little dass-Dom in Y. M. C. A.
No. 96, where it was our pri
vilege to receive three more sol
diers into the ehureh and to
give the Lord ’s supper to eleven.
Tuesday we leerned that an
other regiment was about to
mon-; and that meant another
hurried oanvnss. That night we

on the morrow that we eomplet—

agreed that Pastor Wind wes to
take cere of the weekly Wedness

njng when sixty-two more men
received the seerament.
In konr days we has-d beptized
