RELIGIOU LIFE In making the change from civilian to military life, the Navy man does not leave behind the religious beliefs which he learned at home. He is given every opportunity and encouragement to maintain and strengthen his religious interests. Each staff member and patient at this Hospital is given an opportunity to worship in his own faith. In time of distress or personal emergency the Chaplains stand ready to give advice and counsel. Each man is en- i W2 couraged to take his personal problems to a chaplain of his choice at any time. The Chaplains' division maintains close contact with the Navy Relief Society and the American Red Cross in ob- taining financial and other assistance for those in need. Regular divine services are conducted by Chaplains, thus giving each man an opportunity to Worship in accordance with his religious background, and present inclinations. Z COMDR.
