20 NOTED SPEAKER TO West Shore Coal Dealer Suggests Union Church Services to Save Coal As a method of conserving the coal supply, H. C. Wierman, a coal dealer yith his business establishment lo cated at White Hill, suggests that churches hold union meetings. Mr. Wierman eaid that this would be possible in many of the West Shore towns. • In several of the towns on the West Shore there are churches large enough to accommodate a combined meeting. In Lemoync and New Cum berland churchgoers could easily at tend meeting in one church and if not they could combine and hold the meetings in two churches. This plan could be worked out In all cases, it is believed. C. E.—C. E.—C. E.—C. E. MISSING C. E. SOCIETY CONTEST One dollar for the missing society not listed among the (44) forty-four societies.

Captain Bass4er tells of the re ligious side of the training camp and mentions that the boys are getting ready for the Christmas services. He writes as follows: "My Dear Friends— "On arriving at camp, I at once planned my wof'k by placing a box in every company supply tent and distributed the hymn books, then when we would have prayer meet ing or song service for any company I would send up to the supply tent and get the books. "When the regiment was broken up at the morning service, I an nounced that every Harrisburg boy could take his book with liim where ever he would go. All other boys were to return their books to me.

"When I came to the 108 rd Am munition Train I brought them along, and distributed them in the same way and the services are line because the music is always good. I think I can truthfully say, that no contribution, whether to the Ited Cross, Y. M. C. A., or anything else, has been more far reaching in do ing good than the little book, "Make Christ King." "We are now preparing for Christ mas and we have all the music nec essary right in our own book. "I am happy in my work. All I ask for are your continued prayers.
