Claim sect does not
utterly disregard flag
DEAR EDITOR.

You speak as of strangers when
you tell of the troubles of Je-
hoVahS Witnesses in your last
weeks paper. But you know that is
not so. You and I have been &C.
quainted for anyway Is years and
until now ] thought you were a
friend. Certainly you have little
right to accuse us of "subversive
activities" Who is it that thus
strongly suspects us! The FBI. fol
instance? We do not hide, either
ourselves, our publications or ou1
convictions; and any honest police
officer will tell you that there is
nothing against us on the political OF
civil scores. In fact There is nothing
political about our message. We
tell of the setting up of the Lords
kingdom here on earth-the one
that Christ commands all his fol-
lowers to pray for. To be sure, we
also say that Jesus Christ, being the
King, into whose hand all power and
glory is given, it is to Him we owe
reverence and devotion; not to hui
man, earthly governments, however
good, which must all be displaced by
the kingdom of Christ as told at
Dan. 2:44. And if it does not seem
to you hat saluting the flag is CIV
ing it reverence and devotion, what
does it look like? Jehovah,s Wit
nesses in Germany do not salute
the German flag, nor he'll Hitler;
they do not salute the flag in Italy
France, Russia, Japan, nor any
where else in the world, including
England, where they are not perse-
cuted for thus upholding their con-
victions; no doubt becaue the Eng
lish are just naturally not big-stick
worshipers.
Nevertheless we do NOT utterly
disregard" the flag. We stand at
attention respectfully when the flag
is being honored. We do more than
that-we fight for, and suffer for,
the principles which the flag SYM
bolizes-liberty and justice.
If I believe that it is wicked to do
a thing and go and do it anyway,
am j not deliberately being wicked?
What kind of teacher is it that will
seek to persuade a child to be
wicked?
Further, we diligently offer our
publications from house to house
and on the street corner. Anyone
may read and find out for himself
for sure and certain whether we are
indeed "subversive" or not; unless
they think their own brains too
poor and weak and must lean on
some one else's. More important,
they may also learn of Gods low
ing provision for them to earn a
place in a world made glorious
Isaiah 60a13. See also Isaiah 66:1)
Where there shall be no more sor-
row, pain nor death: for the former
things will have passed away lin
Guiding present earthly govern
ments) and Christ will have made
all things new. Rev. 21:1-5.
Truly,

OUR GREAT ENTERPRISE

Every phase of daily living, "
Gay or grave, foolish or wise,
All we take and all we're giving,
Constitute an enterprise.
Every slightest undertaking
Into which we put our thought,
Every hour we live we're making
Impress on the clay God wrought.
We are forming by each action
Trifling though to us it seems
Clear-cut lines. And no retraction
Clears the record of our dreams.
For, it's thought which shapes our
doing,
Let our deeds be what they may;
It's their lead that we're pursuing;
They that mould this mass of clay.
And we sin against our being
When we fail to keep them high;
When through lack of faith we're
seeing ,,rs...-
Only gloom as days go by.
Though the heart be pierced with sor-
row, ..-..~....,. ~.
Though we fail in what we do,
From the Unseen we may borrow
All we need to carry through V
All in all, whate'er our duty,
AS we go our different ways
We shall find no end of beauty
And no dearth of things to praise
Years seem long; but they are fleet
ing.
Ere we know it they are past;
Goodbye almost chokes our greeting
Yet all love and friendship last.
Every good thing is eternal;
Every need One Source supplies;
We may claim from powers superna
Heritage which never dies.
Weary? Yes. But keep on going.
Dry your tears and check your sighs
Brace up. Smile! Be glad in know
ing
Life's a glorious enterprise.

HlTLER'S PALS

See the appeaser humping his breast,
His intelligence quotient can't meet
the test.
Hear the appeaser snort and rant,
He tries to talk horse sense,-but
can't!
Hear the appeaser blatantly roar,
Belching his bilge till his larnyx is
sore.
Hear the stupid Senator Nye,-
A medal from Hitler can't pass him
by!
Hark to the bloke whose surname is
Bennett,
Making a farce of the nations Sem
ate.
Take squint at the "Nut" from far
Montana,
Shedding crocodile tears in his red
bandana.
Taft and Clark and Walsh,-et al.,-
You'd think that Adolf is their pal.
Hitler chortles and gloats with glee
While fools make a farce of democ-
racy.
While the cold-blooded colonel's cyni-
cal grin
Denotes his hope that the Nazis win.
Hear the appeaser's senseless chatter,
If Britain falls, to him no matter!
He'd rather pay toll to the Nazi and
jap
The factuous, nonsensical and puer-
lie yap!
Damn the appeaser, with his white
- chicken liver,
Selling our liberties down the river.
With the foes of freedom he takes
his stand
With his nit-wit head deep in the
sand.
