Providers Visit
Groves Home

Warned by his faithful little
dog, Robert Groves halted the
operations of two providers at his
home Friday night. About the
same time a telephone call from
neighbors on the second floor of
the same home told that some
one was trying to gain entrance.
Approaching the door, Groves
saw a man entering his car in
front of his home. He called the
prowler to stand at attention.
The prowler instead, armed with
a gas pipe, started toward him.
Groves fired and the prowler
turned and fled.
Confident the prowler had
been hit when he fired, Groves
called the police. The second
prowler fled unhurt.

The Place Of Religion
In the Army

The above title is a misnomer.
It might better read The Place
Of the Army in Religion"
Most Of us have been at some
time or other closest to God
when We were on the brink of
disaster. This close association to
the Supreme Being was caused
by an appeal on our part as we
knew that events were beyond
the control of mortals.
Soldier. II you have any doubt
OF this, ask men who have been
in combat how often they have
appealed to God for help and
guidance.
The interesting fact is that this
help is available to you NOW
and every day not just when you
have reached some dark hour.
The most restful and comfort
able place on this Base is not
your day room, not the theatre,
not the A & r Building, but the
Chapel. Within the four walls of
this structure there is peace and
contentment. 1t represents the
home Of God, and as such it can
do more for you in every way
than anything else in the past,
present or future. Your barracks
is probably Just around the cor
ner from the Chapel, and yet
wonder If you have yet seen the
inside of this building.
The hardest man in the world
to beat is the man who is fight
ing for an ideal. Tie toughest
and best soldiers in all history
are those who had a belief in
God. and were willing to die for
that belief. Is there any greater
belief than what Jesus expressed |
when He taught thas every hui
man being whatever his racial
origin or his place in society. is
4 moral personality-a being of
lnspeakable worth because he is
l child of God.
The greatest records in sport
nave not yet been made. The
greatest inventions have not yet
been perfected. The greatest mu-
Vic has not yet been composed,
,ut the greatest book has been
Yes, it is the Bible.
Phillips Brooks once said, IF
vour faith in God is stronger for
very humble task in which you
iced and get His aid, then that
tumble task is necessary to the
illness of your faith in God. It
will make the music of your life
more firm and solid"
