BE We also ready; for in such an hour
as We think not, the Son of Man cometh"
Matthew 24:44)
Would you knew that you are ready for
Christ's return? Then you must be in the
right attitude towards heavenly things.
You must know whether you are forgiven.
Whe her your guilt is on you or on Christ
All forgiven ones will rise to meet Him,
and be owned by Him. All unforgiven ones
will be disowned and left Again, you
must be in the right attitude towards
earthly things. Are you setting aside
the Lords proportion of your means, for
the help of the poor, the ignorant, the
heather? Are you witnessing to others
of your coming Lord?

that they are determined the world

In another letter he wrote:

Our Chief Aim
THOUGHT FOR TODAY

To aid in every way the prosecution OF
the war to complete Victory.
Nogales international., 1944-08-04

tlonal l noticed Emilio Martan's
letter to you asking any GIs i'll the
area to come see him.
I'm glad I noticed it, as I called
the hospital Tuesday and found out
that he had been operated on that
same day. I called on him yester-
day Saturday. He was asleep. but
1 gently woke him up and asked
him if he recognized me- It took
him little bit to shake the drowsi
ness off, but it wasn't long before
ne smiled and stretched his hand.
He hasn't quite shaken off the
effects of the operation-he' little
weak and running a slight temper
ature-but he will be all right be-
fore very long and I expect to see
him again before I leave here.
There was copy of the last issue
of The International and couple
of letters on his bed so from that I
gather he's we'll taken care of in
that way.
He is extremely anxious to go
home on furlough. And why should
MT he be? He landed in New
Guinea in the days of our struggle
at Port MoreSby at the outset of
the Southwestern Pacific campaign
and he had been in New Guinea
ever since.
He was communication sergeant
for his outfit-the original regiment
that left Nogales and Arizona in
1910 before Pearl Harbor-the 158th
Infantry.
Those boys no doubt have gone
thru H, and if anyone deserves
a rest they do.
He is being given the best in
medical care and attention. The
staff attached to that ward enjoys
a good reputation. The hospital
itself is magnificent with. all the
latest equipment that money can
buy. 7 am sure E1nilio's family will
be glad to know that he is getting
the best of care and attention.
Our class here winds up a three
months course in the Dental Tech
nician's school this coming Satur-
day and after a week of CT special
classes, we are to be sent back to
our respective outfits put in for
a relay en- route from my outfit
back in Mississippi and if the pow
ers that be don't cross me up-and
if they don't it will be the first
time-I expect to be home about the
middle of August for lot of sleep
and a lot of food which is very re-
mote from our CT chow.
We've worked hard while here
and accomplished a lot-all on less
than six hours sleep a day. I'm
going to hate to leave Denver and
it's nice weather for Mississippi S
mosquitoes, sWamps and muggy
neat.
I trust you enjoyed yourself at
the convention in dear old Chi and
are back to normal again.
