On MaS6Td lSlduu, up III Iue ESl-
sian Gulf, where there is not a
single tree standing and the wind
blows across the island ceaselessly,
Red Cross field men brought fishing
tackle. books and writing paper to
service men. Most welcome gift
from the Red Cross was clippers
for hair cutting-the boys had been
without a barber for months.
In Persia, a Red Cross Field Di-
rector was able to locate soldiers
mother whom he hadn't seen for
25 years.
In Africa, Red Cross field men
flew in Army planes. hitch-hiked in
supply trucks, bumped in jeeps over
bombed convoy routes, through
binding sand storms and glaring
sun to help men with personal
problems and emergency commu-
nications, and to deliver magazines
and books, cigarettes and chocolate
to isolated posts and bases.
In Italy. Red Cross field men ac-
companied the troops In on the in
vasion barges.
In India, a sergeant was SEN
fenced to the guard house for dis
orderly conduct. His officer couldn't
understand the boys behaviour. He
was a nice kid-he'd never gone to
pieces before.
The officer asked the Red Cross
Field Director to see him. The Red
Cross man discovered a very wor-
ried boy. His wife had not been re-
ceiving his allotments. she wasn't
we'll and needed an operation. She
thought the soldier must have can
celled his allotments and misun'
derstanding had arisen between
them so that she was no longer
writing him.

A N INTERESTING account in
~ the thirteenth chapter of the
book of Numbers relates the
experiences of group of people
who we're called upon by their
leader to have faith in their flu
ture. These people, the Israelites,
led by Moses had in the course of
their journey away from the bond
age in Egypt finally reached the
land of Canaan. Spies were sent
ahead to find out what kind of
land it was. They learned many
good things about ii that it
flowed with milk and honey"
and withal was place very much
to be desired. But one condition
of the land loomed up as a fear
full thing in the eyes of the spies.
~All the people that we saw in it
are men of a great stature .
and we were in our own sight as
grasshoppers," they reported.
How often we, too, belittle our
capacities and are sin our own
sight as grasshoppers." And how
much better to recognize the truth
clearly stated on page 304 of "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy,
namely this: ''Divine Principle is
the Life of man. Mans happiness
is not, therefore, at the disposal of
physical sense"
The IsraeliteS had experienced
Gods care for them many times
in their journey to the promised
land. They had seen the barrier
of the impossible sea before them
and the hordes of the armies of
Pharaoh behind them; but the sea
had parted and the armies had
perished. They had been sustained
with food and clothing in the will
dernesS, and had been kept free
from disease, through Gods cease
less providence. They had indeed
proved that mans happiness and
well-being are not subject to the
whims of physical sense testi-
mony but are spiritual and spiritu-
ally maintained. But now, with
the end of their journey at hand,
they were doubling their further
guidance and protection.
The ISraeliteS were not de-
serted. Even in their beclouded

home town Immediately. 1t took
care of her, financed her operation
and saw that she had adequate
funds to provide for herself until the
allotment again came through.
When the Red Cross man ex-
planned what had happened to the
soldiers Commanding Officer. the
latter promptly released the boy
from the guard house. From then
on the boy was all right. His wor.
ries were over and the Army had
gained a good fighting man.
All over the world, in every the
atre of war and active battle front
go the American Red Cross field
men-helping soldiers with major
and minor personal problems, bring
ing them recreational items such as
magazines, books, comfort articles,
athletic equipment and re-establish-
ing their contact with home. These
men share the conditions and haz-
ards under which the soldiers fight.
They also share their lives. They
are on call day and night whenever
they are needed.
G.L's overseas have many prob
lens. Often home seems very, very
far away. With the Red Cross there
at hand wherever he may be, the
soldier knows he can always get in
touch with home - that he need
never feel alone with problems he
doesn't know how to solve himself.
More than 100000 service men
passed through Red Cross field
mems offices last year.
On the mud clogged roads Of
Italy, through the far irngIes Of
New Guinea, on lonely desert posts,
Red Cross field men take your place
beside your boy. In order to con-
tinue this service. the Red Cross
urgently needs contributions from
the American people to its $780,

Facing the Future

sense of things, when spiritual
reality seemed to them to be dis
tant unreality, they were supplied
with the help that they needed at
the moment. They had Moses, the
Law-giver. Where they faltered,
he upheld. When they were afraid
of the future, he reaSSured them
with Gods gracious promises un-
til they were able to say (Num-
bers 14:4O), 90, we be here, and
will go up unto the place which
the Lord hath promised" History
records that they did finally reach
the land of Canaan and received
the fruition of their labors.
Do we ever doubt what the fu-
ture holds for us, even though we
have seen ample evidence of di-
vine guidance and divine protec-
ton? The Bible designates God
by many names, but none carry
more comfort to the struggling
heart than the name of Love. Di-
vine Love, creative and sustaining
Principle, never forsakeS man. In
Genesis we read, "God saw every
thing that he had made, and, be-
hold, it was very good" Genesis
1:3D. 1t would be as impossible
for God, the divine Love that
made all good, including man, to
cease His care of man as for the
principle of mathematics eventu-
ally to withdraw its support of
the idea that two times two equals
four. -.
So today, with our future yet to
be drawn into the outlines of the
present, let US accept God as He
is, as divine Life, Truth, and Love,
and admit no other power OF pres
ence. Let us heed the counsel of
the Master, Christ Jesus John IL:
36), while we have light, believe
in the light, that ye may be the
children of light" Let us recog-
nize that God, divine Love, guards
US in all our experiences and His
hand is our steady guide both now
and ever. Sooner or later we must
accept this conclusion; let us come
to it early, yea, at once. Then shall
we find not only the present good,
but the future filled with promise
