AMERICA IS
GOD BLESSED
Says Capt. BrOOkeS of Saliva

giving Sermon.

Capt Nehemiah Brookes at the
Thanksgiving service held at the
Salvation Army hall Thursday night,
spoke as follows on the subject,
"America-God Blessed"
In every extreme crisis through
ont time the Lord God has not been
without man, or people Of some
tribe or nation prepared as a de-
liverer for putting down evil and
promoting good and being equal to
the emergency in bringing order
from chaos and material and spirit
ual prosperity TO the human race.
Divine efficacy produces effect
intended in and through His will
ing people. Human opposition is IN
vain the purpose becomes thwarted.
Joshua was fitted for the breach
as leader at Moses decease. Joseph
used as the means of saving nation
and brethren from starvation. Sam
uel educator and messenger Of the
Lord Paul and his coworkers reg
ulated affairs following crucifixion
of our Lord and Saviour. Each were
tainted by opposing factors but
without avail.
America has been blessed by God
since our Pilgrim fathers first
Thanksgiving Wisdom and under
standing has been given in abund-
ance for the developing Of the ma

prosperity Of the whole inhabitance.
The Lord has made Americas cup
run over with blessings TO other ma
tons. and in one OF the most try
ing times Of need against evil
grabbing powers. Americas weight
with allies put the enemy to flight
and is now ready with helping hand
to aid peace and good will to all
mankind.
Americas eyes are open to see
the curse. ruin and blight brought
about through the evil drink traf-

and robbing children of food and

stroying the enemy which win soon

Long live America, may it ever
