V. 8. "The wind bloweth where
it will, and thou nearest the voice
thereof, but knowest not whence il
cometh, and whittier it goeth, so il
every one that is born of the Spirit. :
This simple illustration shows how
facts are often accepted without
explanation. The effect justifies
the cause.
V. 10. 'Nicodemus answered and
said unto him, Art thou a teacher
of Israel, and understandetst not
these things?" Here is a kind re-
buke. There were others less edu-
Gated than he that understood.
v. II. "Verily, verify, l say unto
thee, We speak that which we know,
and bear witness Of that which we
have seen; and receive not our wit
ness" A case in court is determin-
ed by the power of witnesses. Jesus
and his disciples bore witness to the
new birth and there are no strong
witnesses against it; hence, the de-
cision is clear.
V. IL. And no one hath as
cended into heaven, but he that de-
scended out of heaven, even the son
of man who is in heaven" Jesus
never gave up his place in heaven
though for time he abode on
earth; he spoke with both earthly
and heavenly knowledge.
v. 13. "And as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness, even
SO must the Son of man be lifted
up" A look at the lifted brazen
serpent brought physical cure; a
look at the lifted Christ brings a
spiritual cure.
v. Is. "That whOsoever believ-
eth in him may have eternal life. ,
That look at Christ on the cross to
be effective must have in it saving
faith-faith consisting of the head
element, the will element, and the
heart element.
". 16. For God SO loved the
world that he gave his only be-
gotten Son, that whosoever believ-
eth in him should not perish but
have everlasting life" This one
verse is sufficient truth to save the

lessor Rogers had been conducting
a sort OF investigation into it,"
Lombardo's eyebrows lifted elo-

 But then again it seems as though it were only yesterday; something that just had to be postponed for a while because a few individuals tried to change our way of living and we decid- ed to step in and act before they did. One might even complain bit from time to time-but then when you get that letter from home with the clipping out of the local paper that says, Sammy Kincaid Missing in Ac- tion" one begins to see things with a differeT5f light Sammy was your best friend@- sven guy. Sammy was the one who used 10 stop in front of the house each morning as regular as the clock and yell that fl was time for school. Things like this bring the war terribly close, even to us who are seemingly so far away We realize that it's a big thing and for anything big # takes a lot of people. And even though things aren't quite like what we would Ike for them to be-it could be lot worse. So we'll do our iob-no matter how trivial it may seem because we know and realize that our small sacrifices will bring those memories once again into reality.

A5 walked into the Service Club recently l noticed that someone mad not forgotten about the spirit of Christmas even though many miles separate us from home and all that we as- sociate with this glorious sea- soh. The club was gaily decort- ed with all the bright colors we naturally associate with the sea- son and carols were being play ed on the photograph.
 With this for a background l stopped to think just W h, a t Christmas would mean to fel- lows here on the post this year. To many 1t will be just another day. If there is no work calling them to duty they will sleep un- til noon, But, to others it is still time of worship and rev. erence to God. They are not thinking too much about the gifts they have given or receiv- ed but about the one gift God gave to all mankind that silent night centuries ago.
 
 Although we will not have the privilege of being at home with our folks on Christmas morn, to share the happiness with the children over their gifts and la ter have the traditional Christ mas dinner with all the family and of spending the evening with the girl friend, still many of the families of this communi- ty have opened their homes to the boys to such an extent that the home spirit really exists there. To those homes go boys. fTon1 every organization on this post to have either Christmas Eve or Christmas day dinner. Just the feeling of being among friends, away from the routine of Army life is all they ask.
 To those who are from the largers cities will come the lost feeling of not being able to at- tend the great cathedrals with their marvellous structures, stain cd glass windows, organ and magnificent choir. But, still they will have the opportunity to hear parts of HandePs ''Mes- siah". For many it is not Christ mas unless they have sung in or at least heard parts of this great oratorio.
 And then there will be other who will think of the night clubs and champagne with all their lnerriment as being their spirit of Christmas.
 To the boys from the deep south this and other Christmas's will be something quite differ ent from any they might have while at home. The main difference being the snow and cold. Most all of them would trade one week of the sun and warmth for a whole year of this climate. But, regardless from which section they might be there is still the feeling and longing that we may be at home for the next yuletide sea- son and that the world will be lat peace once again.

Uncle Roy's Corner

The Department of Justice of tn
American Government has special
branch known as the "FB.I" Those
initials stand for the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation.
Directed for many years by j.
Edgar Hoover, the FBI has made a
fine record. Time and again it has
solved kidnapping cases, and it has
brought thousands of criminals to
justice. Mr.. Hoover and his asso-
! ciates are proud of the fact that
they never use torture to bring about
confessions. Yet they know the art
OF finding the truth. Criminals have
learned to fear "G-men," as agents
OF the FBI have been nicknamed.
&C" stands for "Government.)
FBI agents know how to shoot. I
had heard about their skill many
times, but it was brought home to
me when I paid a visit to the head
quarters in Washington, D. c. Ber-
nard Suttler, one of the agents,
took me through the building, and
1 saw something of the many kinds
OF work being done there.
In the shooting range Mr.. Suttler
aimed pistol at target As feet
distant. 1t was a small target, only
l0 inches wide. In 10 shots he hit
the bull's-eye eight times, and the
other two shots were very close to
it, scoring nine points each. His
total score was 98.
I'D like to take this target home
as souvenir of my visit said.
You can do that" he replied,
but I'd like to shoot better one
for you to take away"
Thereupon he shot at another
target of the same size and at the
same distance. This time he hit the
| bull's-eye 10 times out of 10 shots!
At about that time I began to
wonder what fortune I would have
IN shooting at a target under the
same conditions and asked whether
I could try it. He kindly agreed,
and a target was set up for me.
There was thought in my mind
that I might tell readers of my COL
umn what score I made, but
wasn't sure whether I could hit the
target at all. From time to time
have shot at targets with a rife.
but this was heavy revolver, and
had shot revolver only twice be-
! fore in my life.
Probably my shooting would have
been poor If Mr.. Suttler had not
given me a certain hint. Don't
pull the trigger" he said. Squeeze
it gently"
There was quite kick" to the
revolver, but when 1 finished I
found that I had hit the bull's-eye
more than once and had made 4
total score of 81. I was pleased
when I was told that had qualified
as an expert by making a score
above 85. But FBI agents can hit
the bull's-eye almost every time.
