by the Rev. Edgar Dewitt Jones,
pastor Of the Woodward Avenue

Taking as his topic. "All This
and Heaven. Too" Rev. Jones told
briefly the story of that book. ana
OF the triumph OF the chief ehsrae-
ter over a lie Of tribulation. Life
will never be all victory he stated.

much OF defeat in victory. so also
may there be a victory over de-
feat One should never allow him
self TO be greatly affected over a
success or a failure. he said.
Seemingly the most titanic de-
!eat In the history Of the world
was that OF Christ he stated, but
out Of that seeming failure came
the greatest victory OF all times. q"
Lees surrender TO Grant at the
close Of the Civil War was cited
by the speaker as an example OF

except the uncertainties of his fu@
ture, she takes an interest.
For instance, there was the soil
agronomist who had lost a hand in
battle. No more experimental work
for him-and he knew it. His old
job required two hands.
Mrs. Mann called the Civil Service
Commission; wouldn't the Depart
ment of Agriculture have job for
an expert?
When the veteran is discharged
he will be sent out by the Agricul-
ture Department to advise farmers
on soil conservation, rotation of
crops, other secrets of successful
farming.
And there was the case of the
graduate in bacteriology. He had
contracted tuberculosis. He couldn't
go back to his laboratory. He
couldn't see any way out. Mrs.
Mann could. q
She called the Public Health Serv-
ice, asked about outdoor jobs. Yes,
| as soon as he recovered, there were
several jobs he could fill-outdoor
health inspection work.
Course of Study.
Mrs. Mann returned to the mans
bedside with pile of forms and a
course of study. That will give him
something to do while he remains
in hospital. When he returns to his
home town, he will file his forms
with the Civil Service Commission.
With definite job in view and vet
Grams preference" in Government
to help put him over the top, there's
load off his mind.
Mrs. Mann always gives the hos
pitalized soldiers a card of intro
duction to present to their veterans
employment representative when
they return home.

card tucked in their billfold," she
said seems to bolster them ND. 1t

never rose into the sky. 1t was q
truck, and they destroyed it aground
Disaster on the flight deck several
times was barely avoided. One fgf1t-
er plane knitted it's propeller into
the deck but suffered no more than
rather sudden stop. The plane
pushers did themselves proud by
getting the wreck out of the way of
the next plane coming in.
A junior lieutenant who had won
the Silver Star and Purple Heart
decorations in North Africa, put his
fighter down in the water-which
he said was like landing in snow
and a destroyer picked him up in
eight minutes.
Another pilot grew so excited over
dropping his bombs on Marcus that
he didn't notice his altitude. The
first thing he knew he saw bTinker
light down there trying to give him
message. The blinker, it developed
when he pulled out of dive at less
than 1000 feet, was an antiaircraft
gun. He got away.
After the last plane had returned
and we pulled out, still expecting a
cou1terattack, we asked the ships
air officer what he thought we could
handle. This is what he said:
up to a hundred bombers.'
f. After that we felt better.
Out of Commission Two Months.
The significance of Marcus Island
and the attack on it lies in the fact
that it is link in system of far
flung bases from which the jap
anese keep watch on the Western
Pacific.
It's especial Importance to us is its
nearness to the Japanese homeland
This was emphasized by the speed
with which radio Toxic referred to
possible raid on Japan itself as a
consequence of the assault against
Marcus.
Comdr. Raby, from his five hours
OF observation over the target, was
able to make good estimate of the
damage done to the island. He said
Marcus should be out of commission
| for two months
This raid was the first on Marcus
| in 18 months-since March 4, 1912,
when carrier task force under
Admiral William F. Halsey, jr
struck the island for the first time
with about II tons of bombs. This
time the bomb load was more than
10 times as heavy.
Apart from its intrinsic value
which might be questioned in view
of the great size of the force en-
ployed-the raid had considerable
intangible value in providing live
target for considerable number of
men, both flyers and ships crews
who had been keyed up for the real
thing for months. 1t gave them a
chance to get their feet wet without
/ sticking them out too far.
