DAY OF DECISION

By r. 4. Hall, Milford, Dri.
There's day of decision when
God will decide
In favor of His own and that are
on His side
But there's a very great number
that don't know Him
That are strangers to grace and
revel in sin.
It's plain to me where the nations
are headin'
They're rushing headlOng to the
Armageddon. REV. 1870
God said in His Word away back
there
On the day of decision He'd meet
them there. Joel 3:2-1D.
He's waited and waited for the
world to repent
Since the day to the world His Son
He sent
But it hardened its heart and stiff
fened its neck prov. 29:D
That's why Great Britain and Eu-
rope are a wreck.
It's sure coming here just like it
is there
If we don't seek the Lord bit
more in prayer
That means us and that means me,
(And the promise is this: Twill not
come night thee. FPS. 91.0
So don't you think we'd better
think of that
Before we get to the Valley of
Jehosphat doe 3:2-14)
For God has said it and His Word
is true
And He'll bring it to pass before
He is through.
So I'm trying to get everybody to
see
That God fulfills every prophecy
If you butt your head against n
stone wall
You'll break your head and that
will be all. 1t

AnziO Front
The Anzio front in Italy was In
that indeterminate stage which fol-
lows the repulse Of a major attack
such as the third German full
scale assault on the beachhead.
The Germans had not yet surrend-
cred the initiative, as was evidence
ed by their repeated Stabs at the
part Of the line known as dead
womans corner"
British troops repulsed two other
local attacks south and southwest
Of Aprilia, to the left Of the Amer
lean positions. The Allies meanwhile
were making good use of their air
superiority by striking at the
enemy's communication and supply
lines in the rear, especially in the
Rome area. Effective attacks were
made yesterday on railroad freight
yards, airfields, tunnels and other
detectives in the Rome area.
