To all of this, Uncle Sam die

But Hitler called him just great
big clown.
Says "Mr. Sam, my dear little
sonny,
You won't fight, for it will cost
you money"
But courage in Sammy he failed
to see
On land, in the sky, and on the

To meet this threat the Jap he
did seek,
And upon Pearl Harbor he did
sneak.
And to Satan this gave such an
awful smell
He dived right back to the bot

mo more a partner of you I'll be,
And to the bottomless pit I'll
give you the key.
You've made me ashamed;
You've saddened my heart,
So goodbye, Mr.. Hitler,
Forever we will part"

Hitler
AND THE
Devil

~Aitler and the Devil met upon a
hill:
Said Hitler to the Devil,
I'm going to make a great big
kill.
This world needs a man
"A man of my type
To keep it moving
And moving just right.
4 want you for partner,
One that I can trust
Well set up a new Kingdom
That no one will bust.
You have been too merciful
To both Black and White;
at will make you shudder
When I display my might"
The Devil did not answer.
For it made him sad
To think that anyone could
Gould be quite so bad.
I've tackled many jobs, both
great and small,
But a dream like this I can't re-
call.
"A partner in this I will not be,
For you will land in the bottom
of the sea-"
Said Hitler to the Devil,
~~TNo@ Of NV
For to oppose me does not pay"
The Devil said, Have your way,
Sir.
Your race you must run;
To set up your kingdom
Wont be any fun"
I'll first get the Czech
And next will be the Pole.
These are my first victims
an reaching my goal.
I'll offer my appeasement
To France and John Bull
To this they will agree
Twill give me another pull.
My promise to them I failed to
keep,
So they did oppose
My harvest to reap.
The fight, was hard;
The trail was bloody;
To my rescue there came
Mussolini, my buddy.
His heart was greedy;
His conscience was black;
And with a sudden stroke
He knitted France in the back"
To all Of this did Hitler o. K,
I'll see to it that you get good

There are some people in the
world who die twice or more.
What am I talking about you may
ask. Well it is this. There are
people who die from fright be-
fore they are killed. They lose
their nerve and lose their heads
when they see danger approach
ing, A great many people cross
their bridges of danger before
they come to it. This is what l
mean when I say some people die
twice. They cross the bridge and
just about die first and then if
the danger actually comes they
die again. If a great many people
would hold their nerves first they
might hold their heads and avert
the real danger later.
The people who have a real
trust in God are the ones who
die only once. They are not afraid
of danger and they face danger
and do their duty. Yes, those
whose mind is stayed on the Lord,
will keep in perfect peace, be-
cause they trust in thee. In one
of the battles during the Civil
War, the southern soldiers almost
wavered because of shot and shell
until someone shouted, There
stands Jackson like a stonewall.'
Seeing General Jackson standing
so calmly in perfect peace even
in great danger, the soldiers were
renewed in courage and met their
foes with new success. Genera.
Jackson was given the nickname
of Stonewall Jackson after that
famous battle. Why did Jackson
stand like a stonewall? Why die
he stand in perfect peace in great
danger? Why was he self con
trolled? I am persuaded it was
because Jackson was a man Of
great faith in God. He was known
as one of the greatest Christian
soldiers of any war. He is known
as man of prayer, man O:
trust in God, a man who livec
for God.
I recently read a letter from ;
Missionary who is a prisoner tt
the Japanese in China. In his let
ter he wrote home he said, do
not fear for me, I have every
thing I need" He went on to say
my Father use to say, The place
of duty is the place of safetyp
This is right. He was not afraic
of any danger as long as he wa!
doing his duty in the sight O:
God.
If I had son large enough tc
90 to war. I would tell him, 'Son
trust in God, and do your duty
The place of duty is the place Of
safety! " I would not have him
cringing at home, afraid to trust
God in the time of danger anc
duty.
Mother and Father, Soldier
Sailor-forget not the text above
Thou wilt keep him in perfect
peace, whose mind is stayed or
thee: because he trusteth in thee
