SPEAKS HIS MIND


SPEAKS HIS MIND
You never really know man
until he owes you a bill.
Beware of the flatterer--he is af-
ter something that you have.
Time spent in prayer is doubled.
A little sin never gets any small
er.
Some men are like seashells
held to the ear, they murmur but
it doesn't mean anything.
1t takes a lazy man or a philos-
opher to enjoy leisure.
It's too late to save money that's
spent.
AS tenderly as a mother lays
down her child, SO does God minis
ter to those who love him.
Stop hurrying and you'll get
more done.
The Scripture says that the man
who entertains Wisdom and Know
ledge will be blessed also by the

After dinner ear plugs and cot
ton wool were distributed to protect
our eardrums against the terrific
blast Of the guns. Picture frames

Firing Begins at Dawn.
The ships "spotting plane" was

flashed a dim light; the motor
roared; the pilot flashed the light
again and the catapult hurled the
aircraft over the side. The plane
lifted in the air, circled the ship
and flew of. The zero hour was ap-
preaching; daylight was increasing;
the crew was at the action stations
when the Libyan coast was sighted.
From the split ir the armored

on which the long barrels Of the

In the afternoon the fleet went
through dress rehearsal Of the
maneuvers it intended to carry out
during the bombardment. The i'm

the barrels of the l5-inchers lifted

come momentarily, but they didn't.
Perhaps their airdromes had been
bombed by the r. A. F. slmultane-
ously with the naval bombardment
and this would delay their prepara-
tions for counter-attack. A few
hours later we received a report
that an enemy reconnaissance plane
was shadowing the fleet. Lookouts
scanned the skies, while the de-
stroyers watched for submarines
Then I learned that we had an
escort of R. A. F. fighters, miles
above us. They were waiting for
Italian bombers that were bound to
come-and they came. They came
very suddenly: We had no warning.

Successive waves of Italian bomb

bombs anywhere in the sea, ap-

the r. A. F. fighters. I watched
the parachute drift closer and closer
to the water wondering what the
little man dangling there was
thinking. seeing the ships he had
attacked getting farther and farther
away as the bombing attack con-
tinued, and seeing the water get

Then I saw the parachute touch

was nothing more to see.
