WINNETKA . WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1918 Christian Science Church Engaged in Great Camp Welfare Activities O of Directors of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massa- chusetts, advised the three largest Churches in each State that if a con- ference of Churches and Societies of that State were called,.a repesentat- ive would visit them and submit a plan prepared and recommended by the Board for carrying on the work of Camp Welfare among the Chris- tian Scientists in the Army and Navy Camps of the United States here and overseas in a systematic and uniform manner. In response to this offer, the first State conference was held in Cleve- land, Ohio, on November 30, 1917, quickly followed by others in all parts of the United States, and the first Camp Welfare Worker provided by the plan was installed at Camp Devens at Ayer, Massachusetts, early in December of the same year. To- day, six months later, there are sixty-three Camp Workers, fifteen Welfare Room attendants hundreds of other Christian Scien- tists, as members of local and state Camp Welfare committees, crating thought and time (in full or part) to the strengthening of our men with the colors, in order that they may be the better prepared to overcome all conditions that would hinder progress and defer the victory of our nation and its allies. Cover All Camps All of the great camps and can- tonments and an ever increasing number of the smaller camps, forts, and stations are being covered, add- ing much to the "welfare" of our boys, in ways that no other agency is equipped to supply, thus comple- menting and supplementing the ef- forts of those actively interested in the well being of officers and men in other ways. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars has been contributed by generous, loyal, and patriotic Chris- tian Scientists to this activity during the five months of its existence, an average of $30,000 each month. This amount, if increased to $40,000 month- ly, will permit of the continued ex- pansion of the Camp Welfare work N November 17, 1917, the Board | and conse- © at home and its extension overseas. The Textbook and Literature Whenever a Christian Scientist or one interested in Christian Science is found in uniform, he is offered a textbook, quarterly, and song book, in vest pocket size, and also a sub- scription to the Monitor. The Sen- tinel and Journal and Le Heraut are also being placed in the Y. M. C. A. huts and camp libraries, for use of those caring to read them. Many chaplains and "Y" workers have taken advantage of the opportunity to become acquainted with our liter- ature. One "Y" musical director re- quested a large number of the little song books and another asked for 1000 copies, for use with their song leaders. An orthodox army chaplain, who had become interested in Chris- tian Science, asked for 100 textbooks. 100 Bibles, 100 Monitor subscriptions, 100 Sentinels, and a supply of quar- terlies and pamphlets to be delivered to his organization in France. He stated that forty-three of his men were Christian Scientists. Christian Scientists With Colors ' In all the camps groups of Chris- tian Science boys get together to read the lesson, and in many, re- gular services are held, with Readers elected from the ranks of the men themselves. Some meetings are held in "Y" or camp library rooms, some in rooms or tents of officers or men and at least one has been held in the great outdoors, with brilliant sun- shine, and birds singing, the Readers' "desks" and seats for the congrega- tion being made out of railroad ties, this being pronounced by those at- tending it as a most impressive serv- ice. Through these services and the helpful work of the Camp Workers many boys who where loath to de- clare themselves are being encourag- ed to take their stand. Others have renewed study that had been allowed to lapse. Others who have friends and relatives who are Christian Scientists, have come to see the need of Christian Science for themselves and commenced study. And, of course, these men are better soldiers and sailors than would be possible without the help that Truth unfail- ingly gives. | place of | graphs FEMALE ALIEN ENEMIES ORDERED TO REGISTER President Wilson Issues Proclama- tion Making Week of June 17, Registration Period POSTMASTER, REGISTRAR Heavy Penalty Attached To Failure to Register During Specified Period Female German alien enemies residing inWinnetka have beenorder- ed to register with the United States government at the local post office during the period beginning Monday, June 17, 1918, and concluding on Wedneday, June 26,1918.

NORTH SHORE FOLK LIKE BOB O'LINK North shore people who have at- tended various attractive affairs at the Bob O'Link club at Highland Park this summer have expressed amazement at the unusual attractive- ness of the interior of the clubhouse. As they have passed from one room to the other they have marveled at the 'pleasing features of each, re- marking that those who designed the rooms and the furnishings must have thought not only of the beauty of the place, but of the comfort of the members as well. Lounge an Attractive Room This is particularly true of the lounge, which was furnished, having in mind the comfort of the women as well as the men. The furnishings are those of an English clubroom with very com- fortable chairs and sofas, large tables for the placing of lamps and orna- ments, facilities for writing, small tables for use in serving summer drinks, and has in it many interesting pieces of furniture which would be admired by collectors as true repro- ductions of important English mo- dels. One of these is the large trophy case with room in it for holding books and magazines. On the entire side of the main building facing the links and extend- ing the entire length of the lounge, four photo-| { dining room and grill room, there is a continuous screened potch. Walks and Floor of Tile The architects have provided inter- esting tile walks of soft yellow color with a darker tile floor and Watson & Walton furnished the men's grill with three refectory tables with benches for the men and other small tables with a particularly attractive club chair. At the fireplace two large morocco chairs are provided, and on the wall they have placed a large trophy rack, which it is anticipated soon will be filled, as Bob O'Link has in it many good players from W. W. Ross, the president, down.
