we do not appreciate more than
we did year ago, the fact that the
country is at war.
- ''We have tried to meet all de-
mands of the nation. We have given
our thousands of young men and
have: tried to take part in every ac-
tivity for the support for the cause
for which our country is engaged in
war. T..
eve are absolutely convinced that
our government did not declare wal
because of selfish interest. There
fore the numbers of our denomina.
tion stand behind the government
and their their hands to the throne
of the All Mighty in supplication
that victory may rest on the right
eous yaasd good cause, md we promise
during sthe coming troublesome times
not only as Christians to support our
people, our government, our army
and navy, before God in our prayers,
but we are entirely willing to take
our share in every way which our
good government recommends.
