WHY commune
Because Christ commands it.
That is reason enough. But also
because in celebrating the Lords
Supper we commemorate His
suffering and death But the
chief reason is that through
the Holy Sacrament the Lord
forgives our sins strengthens
our faith, and increases our love.

Have you attended any of the
Lenten Services? If you have
not you have missed something.
I attend Sunday night March
2S, and the reverence, the dig
nifty and peace that prevailed
held one in a spell. The sub
ject of the discourse, 1.-The
Growing Cock" was beautifully
treated and one was forced to
question himself as to whether
he as Peter had denied Christ.
This thought was quite evident
that though we may be like
Peter, we have forgiveness If
we repent

ST MATTHEW'S METHODIST
CHURCH

Sunday. March 2S, marked the
third Sunday in the Go-To-
Church Campaign. The seal for
the day was, Year after year
the Worlds Best Seller - The
Bible"
The Campaign Is creating
quite lot of interest in the
church. The names of the yisi-
tors for the Sundays of March
14th and 21st were read -
Totaling eighteen.
There were quite large num-
ber present Sunday, among
which were Miss Clarice Foote,
from st. Paul Methodist church,
visiting Miss Marguerite Brewer.
Both are teachers in the Atkins
High School, Winston nSalem,
N. c., Mrs. Catherine Cole of
Winter Haven, Fla, Miss Carrie
Willis, Charleston, w. Va, and
Pearlie Mccullough 637 e.
CASTOR street, city.
The service was conducted by
the pastor, Rev. j. E. Brewer.
fhe morning prayer was offered
by Rev. T. G.. Tarpley. The
message was delivered by DR..
Leon S. Moore, for nineteen
years pastor Of the Methodist
Church, Chester, Pa.
DR.. Moore chose as his text,
Romans 18th chapter, verses l
and 2. Il beseech you therefore,
brethern, by the mercies of
God, that ye present your bodies
a living sacrifice, holy, accept
able unto God, which is your
reasonable service.
And be not conformed to the
world. but be ye transformed
by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and per-
feet, will Of God"
He based his subject, spirit
ual Transformation" on this
phrase, "Be not conformed TO
this world but be ye transform
ed by the renewing of your
mind"
DR.. Moore beautifully treated
this subject by drawing pic
ture of the transformation OF
tree into the desk before him,
showing how much more use
full it was, after the transforma-
tion than it could have ever
hoped to be standing in the
forset. He likened Christians un-

some soldiers, particularly new re-

like a football teams training table.
The food served there is carefully
planned to aid in the physical devel-
opment Of the soldier. And the Army
has discovered certain little ways to
Increase Johnny Doughboy's appetite.
The Army has found it can add to a
soldiers enjoyment Of his food-and
all those carefully prepared vitamins,
minerals, and proteinS-if he is al
lowed to smoke during meals. Meas
ured tests run by the Quartermaster's
Department show that food consump-
ton actually increased by SO when

Smokes" Of course, play a prom
inent part in many phases of the life
of soldier. Whenever you see
news photo of soldiers at ease, you're
apt to see them enjoying cigarette.
Particularly among American troops
cigarettes-are highly priced and al
most never present in sufficient
quantities.
What kind Of cigarettes do Uncle
Sans. fighting men prefer? Well,
records show. that the favorite cigar
cite is Camel. That is true not only
with men in the Army, but with Sail
ors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen
as well. Sales records from the serv-
ice mems own storeS-Post Ex-
change. Sales CommisSaries, Ships
Service Stores. Ships Stores, and
.Canteens-show that Camels are first
with men in all branches of the serv-
ice.
Further proof that Uncle Sans
fighting men like their smokes is
given in the service mans preference
in gifts from home-it's a carton Of
his favorite brand of cigarettes. To-
bacco dealers, recognizing that Cam.
els are the favorite among service
men, are equipped to help you in
properly wrapping, addressing, and
stamping your gift of Camels to the
man in the service.-Adv.

Martin was not present, but Rep.
Harold Kuntson. r., Mimi, replied:
There Is absolutely nothing to In
dictate that Mr.. Martin is in favor
Of a compromise.
Miller then said:
IF we're going to forgive any
thing, let's forgive the taxes for the
first half OF l943."
Carlson commended that a COM
promise plan would not he adopted
because both the supporters OF the
Ruml plan and the committee pro-
posal were refusing to yield.
"Since the senate obviously VIII

he added. ut would be better for us
to send the Ruml plan and leU them
do the compromising they think is
necessary"
Spokesmen for both the Ruml
plan and the committees bill have
pledged themselves to a "last ditch
fight and laid they would vote to
recommit all proposals before ac-
cepting compromise in the house.
Carlson and Rep. Edward Hebert,
D., La, leader Of southern Demo-
Gratis supporting the full forgiveness
planfl insisted that there is no mid
die grounp upon which to meet.
1.-THE issues In this fight are too
fundamental" Carlson said. You
can't compromise with principles.
Their sentiments were echoed BY
Rep. Wesley e. Disney, D., Okla.
and Bertrand w. Gearhart, r.
Calf, both members Of the ways
and means committee who are sup
porting the no-forgiveness plan.
This Is q moral issue we're fight
ing about" Disney said, "It's strictly
last ditch fight in which no CON-
promise can stand"

but no signs Of q definite agreement

area and Of destruction Of Is enemy
planes from a group which attacked
! the north New Guinea coast; and
U. s. planes from Guadalcanal con-
tinued to pound enemy bases IN the
SolomonS.
The war department announce
ment Of the recent Washington con-
ference said the army leaders at
tended as representatives Of their
respective commanders - Admiral
Chester w. Ninnitz, commander i'm
chief of the Pacific feet and of the
Hawaiian theater; Admiral william
r. Halsey, Jr., commander In the
South Pacific; and Macarthur, COM
mander of Allied forces in
the Southwest Pacific.
The fact that the top men who
came here were army commanders
was regarded by some observers as
indicating that the U. s. chiefs Of
staff are thinking Of Pacific opera
tons In terms Of land as well as
naval operations. At least one naval
aide accompanied each Of the three
Pacific leaders to Washington, how
ever.
Disclosure of the conferences came
from the war department while
naval and air forces in the Aleutians
were on the alert for the possible
return of the enemy convoy - four
destroyers and four cruisers escort
ing two cargo vessels.
A light detachment Of American
warships dueled last Friday at long
| range with the enemy west OF Attu
Island, westernmost OF the Aleu-
tians. It was the first all-surface
engagement of the north Pacific.
There were no details Of the bat
tie, but q naval spokesman said the
japanese refused to slug 1t out.
Except to say that the enemy re-
versed course and headed westward
after breaking of the engagement,
the Nays communique said only:
Announcement of further details
will be made when such information
will not be of value to the enemy"
That could be interpreted as
meaning that the American forces
suffered some damage or perhaps
that the American vessels are pur.
suing the enemy and do not wish
that fact known.
Announcement Of the long.range
duel came shortly after another
communique revealed six new
American aerial thrusts against
Japanese positions in Kiska and the
Solomons and retaliatory enemy
raids on Canton Island. southwest
OF Hawaii. and against Guadal-
canal.
The American aerial raiders blew
up ammunition dumps, hit camp
areas, started fires and leveled
buildings.
The japanese raids were on a
smaller scale. TWO plants inflicted
slight damage" TO American posi-
tons on Canton Island. It was the
first enemy raid there.
The enemy raid on Guadalcanal
was made by seven planes. One
American was killed and Is Others
were injured. Only slight material
damage" was caused American posi-
tons.
