TWILIGHT THOUGHTS

The Bible goes abroad with
our bays. That is because we
are the people of the Book.
In the quiet of a hospital, in
a fox hole. awaiting the
breaking of a storm of shot
and shell. far out on a "point"
he NAV be noting its wisdom,
its concern with national
affairs.
There is no one to tell him
what ii means: he needs no
one. THE way is so plain that
a waYfaring man. though a
fool. need not err therein"
Why not share that exrer-
fence with him? Know what
the Bible says; not what
someone tells you that it says.
Only Shakespeare ap-
proaches the Bible in cover
ing every experience that
humanity NAV encounter.
