fess."

tinued. Christians can and should
lead the way to an end Of war-built
on the never-dying doctrines of the

Letters which he receives from
members Of the armed forces Tight
ing far from the security of their
homeland indicate a reawakening
of those values which we seem to
submerge as we go about our daily
tasks here in America" the speaker
asserted.

proves God Is very near to men close
