Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-09-30

We had another prayer meeting
that night, and every night there
after. Each evening, after the
suns flamboyant departure left us
feeling more alone in a world that
suddenly lost all color, we devoted
perhaps an hour to our informal
service. There was comfort in
passing our burden to Some One
bigger than we in this empty vast
ness. Further. the common de-
votion drew us together. since it
seemed that we no longer de-
pended entirely upon each other,
but could appeal. simultaneously,
TO a Fourth that We three held
equally in reverence.

The more recent ones that they

we managed to get together on a
few, and that gave us lift.
1t was later that came to
realize how little we knew about
the Bible. One night. after our
prayer meeting, l told a little
Bible story. Appropriately, it was
the miracle of the loaves and
fishes.

Tony had never heard any of

- RITLER's orders were to wipe the
Czech village of Lidice from the
i Il face of the earth. He murdered its
menfolk, exiled its women and children.
He DESTROYED the roofs and walls which
had once held laughter and happiness.
Hitler did all that - but he didn't wipe
Lidice from the face of the earth. He Sue
ceeded only in making it a flaming SYM
bol of people everywhere who have fallen
in the fight for freedom. He ordered that
the very name, Lidice, be erased from the
map. But he failed there, too. Lidice was
born again on July r. when little group
of American Czechs gave its name to their
town, Stern Park Garden, Illinois.
In the American town stands granite
shaft. An eternal light burns for the mar
tyrs of Lidice. Below it, are these words:
'rIn memory of the people of Lidice,
Czechoslovakia, destroyed by barbarism
but living forever in the hearts of all those
who love freedom, this monument is
erected by the free people of America at
Lidice, Illinois"

LIDICE

1t is but right that we should take
This little town for freedoms sake,
Whose people, innocent,
Being but few and mild,
And trusting heaven
The old man worn and bent,
The farmer with his sons
Torn by the German guns
The mother and her child
From their home driven
1t is but just that there should rise,
At peace beneath our Western skies,
From out the hearts of free-born men,
This little town again.
Where still the farmers horn,
Lonely and thin,
Will call the cattle in
Across the prairie corn.
And that there still should be
The quiet church, the school,
The willow-shadowed pool,
The children by the tree
Again the shining whole.
Then let this gentle spot,
By heavens mercy free,
Forever celebrate
Not cruelty or hate,
Or him that gave them birth,
(Who shall not be forgot
But mans eternal soul,
Yet wider than the earth,
And deeper than the sea.
