And it would mean much for

him that sat on it, from whose
face the earth and heaven fled
away; and there was found no
place for them. And I saw the
dead, small and great stand be-
fore God, and the books were
opened: and another book was
opened which is the book of
life; and the dead were judged
out of those things which were
written in the books, according
to their works. And the sea gave
up the dead which were in it;
and death and hell delivered up
the dead which were in them:
and they were judged every man
according to their works. And
death and hell were cast into the
lake of fire. This is the second
death. And whosoever was not
found written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire"
God has provided a way for
man to escape all this and that
way is in His blessed Son. The
gift Of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.

Cherbourg will have fallen, Montgomery s

probably will have driven Finland out Of the
war and be starting to pound again at Ger

the losses already suffered in Italy will weaken
the Pc line too. And with the Americans and
British moving ahead from the west and the
Russians from the east, the squeeze play on
Germany cannot be seriously Handicapped by
further fighting there.

s,,nnlies and munitions to over
balance the great stockpile Ger
many has built up In western
Europe. But we've got to get it
over here into France before we
20 on.
You may have imagined that
we would hit the beach and 60
RIGHT on, advancing 30 miles day
till we reached the German bor-
der. We could no more do that than
baby, after taking it's first step
could run a hundred.yard dash.
You have to wait until your
strength is built up before you
can run.
That is Phase No. 4. It will 60
on for some time yet. Don't be
impatient. The wall in front Of us
will hold while we gradually pile
this beachhead to the saturation
point with extra men, guns, trucks,
food, ammunition gacoline, tele-
phone wire, repair shops, hospitals,
sirfields and thousands Of other
items-pack 1t until we have more
than the Germans have, and with
lots of reserves in addition.
Then and not until then will
Phase No. 5 start. Phase No. 5 is
the real war-big-scale war. How
long we will have to wait, between
now and the beginning Of Phase
No. 5 I don't know. But my guess
is that it will take months rather
than weeks.
| Naturally there will be fighting
during that time. The Germans will
| try to crush us back onto the
beaches. We at the same time will
try to extend our holdings enough
to protect our accommodating men
and supplies.
But Phase No. will be the
final one. How long it will last
I also don't know-and in that ig-
norance I have a great deal of
company. l doubt if anyone in the
world knows. All we do know is
that things look good and that it
will definitely end in our favor.
So don't be impatient if we seem
to go slowly for a while. You can
lay the foundation of a house in
the forenoon and move into the
house that evening. We are just
now laying the foundation of our
house of war in Europe. It will
take while to build the walls and
get the roof on. And then. .

Memorial Park

We are not familiar with the proposal of
Jesse A. Reynolds, city recreation director.
that memorial park be created as tribute
to the city's servicemen, but no draft of his
plan is necessary to win approval for it. There
is no better way in which Wilmington could
memorabilia its fighting men than to dedicate
a great park to their services and memory.
ton Of park alone will not complete the
tribute If the effort stopped there the park
would be weed patch in a year. In addition
to creating the park ample provision must be
made for its maintenance and, after that, a
program for its enjoyment the year around.
Because plans are already afoot to develop
the Marine hospital site when the property is
returned to the city by the War department
after the present unpleasantness in Europe
and the Orient, it would seem at first flush
that no finer place for the memorial park
project could be selected. =.
An armory large enough to accommodate
four military units and provide hall and
stage for public gatherings Of all sorts-con-
ventions, concerts, lectures and hopefully, in
door athletic contests-is to be erected on
the hospital property. AS the city already has
the Robert Strange playground to the north
the two tracts could be consolidated with a
view not only to making both desirable for
recreation and for athletic competitions, but as
fine beauty spot as the entire South pos
sesses. The very lay of the land favors ex-

Daily Prayer
FOR THE CHAPLAINS

AS we give Thee gratitude, o
Lord, for all the care and comfort
that the United Nations bestow up
on their men and women at war,
we especially thank Thee for the
shepherding service of the chap
lains, the men OF God who repre-
sent Thee. Strengthen them in
their many labors. Give h e M
words of wisdom as they counsel
with their men. May their vision
of the spiritual verities be always
clear. Sustain their own spirits,
as they sustain others. Keep them
mindful of the devotion of the
Church at home, and of the pray
crs that are ceaselessly arising for
their support. They are the rep
resentatives Of home and dear
ones and Of oar high aims in this
war. Deliver them from all pro-
fessionalism and perfunctoriness.
and enable them to fulfill to the
uttermost their high mission as
shepherds Of souls, Amen.-W. =.
