(7 5k u q it \*\Ml DEDICATION To the Nation's Finest the Service Men of the First Presbyterian Church both sons and visitors, this volume is affectionately dedicated. Getting into it. Everything has a beginning and it is an old custom to have an introduction: While to those familiar with the war work of the First Presby- terian Church this book needs no introduction, there are others to whom its title will have little or no meaning, so for their benefit a brief explanation is in order. There were a number of friends who beguiled me in to writing this story. Their arguments were that while I was con- stantly on the scene of action I could give them an eye witness account of the work done by the First Presbyterian Church for Service men in those epochal years 19^1-19^5° For the past year as I have worked long but pleasant hours on this Manuscript I have forgiven them, but I have also realiz- ed that writing is a profession and it is not mine, however in- stead of attempting to acquire a literary style I have tried to tell in an informal way of our efforts for the Service men.
