America Back To
God Prayer Group
On Monday evening the Junior 
America Back to .God Prayer Group 
met in regular session with a fine 
turn out of boys and girls who gather 
there each week to do their part in 
praying America Back to God, even 
three year old children.
The service was opened by the 
group singing their theme song, 'Tm 
Not Ashamed of Jesus” followed by 
the opening prayer by Laveraa Dan- 
ritenberger. After the singing of 
several more hymns and choruses the 
boys and girls took part in an old 
fashioned praise and testimony ser­
vice with each boy and girl giving 
glory to God for answered prayer or 
blessings received during the week.
For the lesson, the leader brought 
the story of God calling Abram, the 
destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah 
because of sin and wickedness and 
the punishment of Lot’s wife After 
the study and discussion of the les­
son 'the boys and girls held their 
prayer session.

Another Milestone
Another milestone in the long and
did all the great patriots of this and 
other countries. The one who is 
afraid to take sides is the greatest 
of slaves.
That doesn’t mean that we should 
be rude or try to force opinions upon 
others, but the great trouble with 
many Americans Is that they don’t 
want anybody to know where they 
stand on many subjects. Willkie is 
a good model of those who prefer to 
abide by the dictates of conscience 
rather than by the wishes of groups 
or political parties.
PROPAGANDA IS A wonderful 
force. Several months ago when 
everybody was opposed to war this 
column stated that the same tactics 
would be used as in 1914 and Ameri­
cans would become war-minded. That 
time has come.
First we were to give aid to Eng­
land by the cash and carry plan, then 
aid by trading war needs for land 
bases, then anything short of war, 
and now the lease-lend biU and con-
useful life of Mrs. Anna Kirk was , scriptlon in peace time.

To her, it was just another day, she 
had had so many birthdays it held 
little meaning for her, going quietly 
about her alloted tasks, reminiscing 
perhaps, thinking of earlier years, 
noting with some dismay the con­
stantly changing panorama of life, 
much to condemn, much to approve 
but withal a pretty good old world, 
thankful to be alive and able to 
carry oji.
Thus in reverie she sits at her eve­
ning meal totally unaware of unusual 
happenings when a knock is heard,
Proponents of the bill make no ef­
fort to hide the truth now, there will 
be war if necessary, and the bill will 
pass.
But who are we going to fight and 
why ? To save democracy ? Nlo.. 
We have already adopted many 01 
the dictator’s style of government 
and unless we become more demo­
cratic in our thinking, both America 
and Britain will be industrial social­
istic nations like German or Com­
munistic states like Russia.
The very propaganda that arouses 
our willingness to fight for freedom
hospitably she hastens to open the |  and liberty is perhaps aimed to de 
door and is confronted by not only 
one but many guests laden with the 
many good things which go to make 
up a regular birthday dinner which 
was served later. The unbidden guests 
being members of the Past Presi­
dent’s Club of the local Relief Corps
stroy these very qualities in our 
government.
Whoever wins, we predict that the 
nations of the world after the war 
will all be ruled by the whims and 
dictates of men in power rather than 
by the laws made by the people. If

Harry Stiger brought one of Frank

it we each looked at all the photo­

For an English lesson each sixth 
grade pupil was to write a story ex­
plaining a proverb. We all thought 
Glenwood Lentz’s story was the best 
sq we decided to have it printed.

is being rejected by the army be­
cause of physical disabilities. This 
doesn’t prove true in Wood Coun­
