UNSELFISH LABOR REWARDED

in the time they have been here they have accomplished wonders. They are cheery people, whom to meet is a pleasure and to know a privilege, and many there are in camp who know them. Your little building is without exception the most homelike place I have seen in camp. You can little guess what a fireplace and ‘real’ furniture, a rug on the floor and a picture on the wall, mean to a soldier. They are precious things, once lost, now found again.

“Permit me to offer you my congratulations and best wishes for your continued success.

“Very truly yours,

Albert R. Powell,
 “Assistant at the Camp Library.” 

The representative of the Jewish Welfare Board at Camp Mills writes to our Worker there:

“My dear Sir: Since I expect to leave on Wednesday next for a period of about a month, may I take this opportunity of again assuring you that my associates, who will be in charge of the work during my absence, hold themselves in readiness at all times, to serve and cooperate in every way possible.

“It has been a genuine pleasure to work with you, particularly since your interpretation of service has been one, not alone of service to Christian Scientists, but to all men in khaki. This feeling I know is shared by the various agencies in camp and it is no longer a question that the work you are doing is a decided contribution to all welfare work. Your building is popular, your interest in the men genuine and your personality—the reason for it all.

“Keep up the good work and don't hesitate to make us prove that we are with you—heart and soul.

“Very sincerely yours,

Arthur K. Deutsch,
 “Field Representative in Charge.”
