the force and carneStncSs characteristic
Of DR. Holloway MANY splendid argi-
mcnts were given The minister said the
church of God stood for righteousness
and fundamentally what our allies arc
fighting for represented what the church
of the living God stood for While We
must be true to all the calls made upon
us IN these strenuous days, we must not
be slackers toward the church, The
minister had spent several months as
camp pastor last fall with the boys at
Anniston, Ala. and drew a mental picture
Of the earnestness Of the men in the
service toward spiritual things As the
law giver of the world, Moses asked the
people to hold his hands up by their
prayers and dependence upon God. our
splendid President of our United States
and the men and boys of the service were
depending upon the people of God in the
churches.
Dr. Holloway said we must be able TO
answer these men without a blush as to
our service in the church; excuses will
not do towards the fundamental things
we represent. We dare not be slackers,
and if we are lax in these things we are
pacitistS; III we are not with God in the
fight for righteousness we are against
Him Luke IL. %.
1t was a most impressive service and
will be followed up by the fifth in the
