Studies in comradeship, from the Old Testament. Prepared for Comrades in service of the A.E.F.

Preface

2 -"'npHlS course of readings in the Old Testament has J* 1 been prepared for Comrades in Service of the A.E.F.

ifh contemplates the use of fifteen minutes each day -^for two months : five minutes for the reading of a :X short passage of scripture, rive minutes for the reading -pof a brief comment, and five minutes consideration of

%sl pointed question. At the end of each week there is ^fja summary and a series of questions which may be <t the basis of discussion in class.

- Tn as much as the soldier is not always able to

^ carry with him the Old* Testament in good type the 8 Scripture selections have been here printed. For S"the sake of brevity omissions have sometimes been ? made.

T" It is believed that men can follow these studies without special guidance. Questions raised for consider, eration are those which are confronting the soldier

as he is looking forward to his new place in American life. It is desirable that the weekly class should be held as emphasis of the comrade idea. The success of the class will not depend upon securing a specially prepared teacher as discussions will naturally develop within the group if men have read the daily portions and have given some thought to the questions which have been raised. Naturally it would be well to secure the ablest leadership possible, but the class may be quite satisfactory with one of the members as leader.

If the American Army will take back into our common life some of the comrade spirit of the Bible there are better days in store for our beloved land.
