driving force of Christianity. the
L. s. would not be able to fulfil
what he predicted would be a
destiny such as the world has
never seen
Dealing with Christianity As
IL concerns Tacoma, Mayor
Cain asked for the support OF
the church in solving the city's
problems "in these days of ma
tional emergency"
He referred TO the 10000
soldiers stationed at Camp
Murray and Fort Lewis, whom
he said had imposed a heavy
burden upon the city, through
no fault of their own, and now
have created a situation that
seems strange" TO residents
and outsiders.
at Is not the fault of the
soldiers that there Is seeming
chaos on our streets at night.
Efforts are being made to
remedy that situation, but
without the help Of the church,
the problem cannot be solved
Cain then predicted that pefore
another year has passed, there
will be $4,000 soldiers stationed in
This area.
