SPIRITUAL TREND

The Rev. James R. Lee, pastor
OF First Advent Christian Church
here, was back in the city yester.
day after attending church meet
ing in Florida Whi5>i he said gave
him a firm conviction that "al]
over the south, west and middle
west there is a mighty trend toward
deepening spiritual life"
the doors of the nations will
be wider open to Christian mission
airy forces after this war than ever
in the history of the church," Rev.
Mr.. Lee declared He said that the
people of the Christian nations had
learned the real value of gospel
evangelization and that reports
from various sections of the country
clearly indicate trend in all OF
the churches toward preparation
for the greatest missionary activi-
ty known to Christianity.
when we spoke to the delegate
body on the subject, The Bible
Basis for Christian Fellowship
there seemed no longer a barrier
between those of various faiths, ane
as that particular service CLOSED

A requiem mass was sung in

There were a lot of people

OF Los Angeles, a Stars and

After the shot sounded and
the doughboy fell, the sniper
disappeared. Meanwhile, amid
low explanations of indignation
the townspeople picked up the
doughboy's body and gently
carried it to a nearby house.
The town undertaken went to
his shop and picked out a
sturdy pine casket carved from
the tall trees which dot the
mountainside.
Then the people changed
their ordinary clothes to black

BY KENNETH L. DIXON


WITH THE AEF IN SOUTH
ERN FRANCE, Aug. 24-De-
layed-(REEvery day is full of
new incidents showing the
spirit of the French people to-
ward their Liberators-some-
thing new to the tired dough-
boys who have been fighting
in the Mediterranean theatre
since Casablanca.
Every town turns out the
entire population. They wave,
cheer, throw flowers and serve
wine-even when the tide of
soldiers sweeping through be-
gins to be numbered in thous-
ands. There is no doubling
their tears of joy and gratitude.
The soldiers are accustomed
to the begging from hungry
citizens. These people are
hungry, too-but among them
begging is discouraged in what
few instances it appears. The
villagers, instead, offer you
their last loaf of bread and
smile happily if you accept
anything to eat from them.
Without casting unjust as
PERSONS on other lands it can
be said you didn't dare leave
so much as field jacket I'm
guarded in a jeep almost any,
where in Italy Or North Afri-
ca. 1t just wouldn't be there
when you returned.
But in several mountain viii
lagos far inland in France we
were forced to leave jeep
loaded with hundreds of dol
lars worth of cameras and
typwriters, food, clothes, gear
and equipment - sometimes
right in the middle of the mill
ing crowds, sometimes in de-
serted alleys for the night.
Not once was so much as
single cigaret stolen.
Once we asked Maquis
chieftan if our stuff would be
safe left unguarded through
the night. He quietly said yes.
1t was. But not until the next
day did we find that just to
be sure he had passed the word
around that anybody caught
tampering with our jeep would
be shot.
French people, both the fight
ing Maquis and the unarmed
civilians, take any risks to help
the troops. They lead the way
to gun positions. They draw
fire so the Germans are forced
to give away their locations.
They carry out the wounded
and bury the dead almost in
the midst of the scraps. They
have provided armed guards
wherever needed.
And everybody is still talk
ing. about the story of the
people of Pierrefeu and the
lone doughboy who fell there
the victim Of sniper's bullet.
He was the only casualty in
the hill village northeast of
Toulon. The death of the
American who had come all
the way across the sea to
help libreate them touched the
people OF Pierrefeu.

OF Detroit, Mich, told the
story to Pvt. George Dorsey
