A Good Paper

Readers OF the Apache Sentinel will be interested
in what Father Charles E. sheedy CSC Editor of
The Chaplain's Digest thinks of our Post paper
In his column entitled "The Editors Uneasy
Chair" Father Sheedy has this to say: "Some kind
soul recently sent me big bundle of service news
papers c'The Apache Sentinel") published weekly
by Service Command Unit 1922, coored outfit, ap-
parently stationed at Fort Huachuca, Arizona "The
Sentinel is good paper lively interesting PERSONAL
Sparked with well-drawn little cartoons of colored
soldiers playing ball, dancing practicing with the
bayonet goldoricking. But the striking thing about
The Sentinel" is the high moral quality of its edi-
oral policy There is dirty comic strip there are
no suggestive cartoons there isn't even any of the
consciousness that you expect to see in colored
paper. :"
Thanks Father Sheedy, we think that we get
along very well without the suggestive cartoons and
the superfluous "cheesecake" and leg-art too.

NotionoI Bible Week

The observance Of National Bible Week ends to-
morrow. lot of soldiers probably are not even
aware that this is National Bible Week Others if
they aware, might feel that it's ending tomorrow
only means that persons who hadn't looked at their
Bibles all year will lay them down again for another
50 weeks.
National Bible Week means more than Just
weeks awareness of the Book of Books. In times
like these it should serve to intensity the layman's
desire to find solace in Book that has helped man
solve perpleXing problems for many hundreds of
years 1t should be source of comfort to the wife
or mother keeping a prayerful vigil at home for
loved should likewise help to mitigate the
temptations and perplexities of that loved one be he
soldier or marine in camp at home, the high seas
or in some foreign land.
Although the Bible was written by men and
necessarily echoes mems weaknesses it is Great.
Book From its pages one can CLEAN comfort in dis
tress and hope in despair. Moreover, it was not
meant to be read just one week out of the wear
National Bible Week is intended only to focus our
aUtentlon on the Inestimable value of the Bible
Your chaplain has probably tried to interest YOU
in the Bible He has copies of little-brown- bound
Testaments, which he is anxious to distribute to YOU
and to see you read. They're really handy little
things to have around too-those pocket-sized Bibles
And it's not too late to join in the annual Observance
OF National Bible Week. Get out your testament and
turn to the fourteenth chapter of ST. John that be-
gins LET not your heart be troubled :" Or
read Pauls stirring exhortaton, "Let us fight the
good fight :"
President Roosevelt also commends the wisdom
and value Of Bible reading in his personal message
which is inscribed inside the military editions dis
tributed to servicemen:
"As Commander-in- Chief take pleasure in
commencing the reading OF the Bible to all who

Throughout the centuries men of many faiths
and diverse origins have found in the Sacred
Book words of wisdom, counsel and inspiration
1t is fountain of strength and now as always an
aid in attaining the highest aspirations of the

Happy Birthday, o2nd!

Even in the midst of war---indeed perhaps be-
cause we are at war, it is fitting that more than
passing note should be taken of birthdays, for each
passing year is fraugnt with unusual significance
SO today as the Ninety Second Infantry Division
pauses, in holiday and festvity, to celebrate the
first anniversary of its activation, THE SENTINEL
extends to it sincere congratulations and best Wishes
confident that it will continue in the fine tradition
established by the Old 92nd whose nickname and

1t is interesting, too, to con-
slider the careers of those num-
mers who have been acclaimed
as geniuses. Application. of this
word usually seems to wreck
the career. We like to think the
reason for this is that once an
actor has been acclaimed as a
genius, he starts believing it, and
either gets so terrified that he
loses all confidence in himself,
or aims so high that his work IS
over everyone's head, including
his own.
Charley Chaplin was genius
because his work had the inno-
cency of a child. And in those
days he made two pictures a
month. Since the critics inform
ed him that he was q genius, he
hasn't been able to make one
picture every two years. And
the innocency has given away to
demagoguery.
