and prominent individ uals
throughout the country.
What you do about your gov

for your own personal decision.
However, give it thorough con-

for the future security of your

Into the Kings Chapel burial
ground my feet aimleSSly wan
dered and brought me to the
crumbling vault of stone of Gov
ernor Winthrop's grave. I took
a bit of this stone and it crum-
bled into dust in my hands, and
into my mind flashed the
thought that if this early set
tier of Massachusetts had to de-
rend on a vault of stone to keep
his memroy alive it is doomed to
oblivion, as all things earthly
The imperiShable part of human
life is the service we render.
That and that alone keeps us
living though dead. So many of

deeds of kindness thinking some
great opportunity will one day
be ours to serve. If there is any
service we can do, any soul we
can help, do it now while it IS
day. The world will soon forget
what we had here but never
what we did.

A Message To Ex-Servicemen
and Others Interested in
Veterans Benefits


Over a period of the last sey-
eral months Veterans Admins
tration has been conducting a
nationwide information cam
paign on National Service Life
Insurance with the assistance of
number Of outside groups. The
purpose of the campaign is to
make all World War II veterans
fully aware of their rights and
privileges under government
sponsored insurance.
If your NSLI has lapsed, then
December 81, 1947, is a very sig
nificant date. On or before that
date you may reinstate the pol
icy regardless of the date it
lapsed without necessarily tax
ing physical examination.
Usually filling out simple
three question form showing
that your health is as good as
it was when the policy lapsed,
if submitted on or before De-
cember 81, 1947, is the only
health requirement. Only two
monthly premiums at the old
rate need be paid on reinstate-
ment of term insurance but on
converted policies all premiums

abroad, This minister's depar-
ture for China marks the red
letter day when our race will
begin TO scatter its missionaries
into all parts Of the earth, and
it expresses turning the corner
when as a race we will find the
blessedness of giving TO others
more needy than ourselves. Our
larger churches have this op-
portunity to begin to place mis-
SionarieS in the distant outposts
of earth. And these missionaries
can do much to give a just i'm
preston Of our character and
achievement.
America is still the Promised
Land to so many of her immi-
grants. There is the story of the

then advancing as a business

from his adopted land and he is
giving back much that will 90 a

Once again I am moved to
suggest a central bureau which
should be established and main
tanned for the purpose of filing
dates Of coming events with a
view to avoiding embarrassing
conflicts. One Sunday in Sep
TENDER. there are so many desir-
able activities going on sinulta-
neously that it fairly makes
ones head swim. Obviously 1t is
impossible for one person to be
more than one place at one time.
I personally wuold like to be in
at least three places on this par
ticular Sunday, but the first
date made will keep me from at
tending the ether two. When the
S. Coleridge- Taylor Musical AS
ISOLATION was FIRST organized, one
of their features was the volun-
teerng to act as a clearing house
for dates One might get in
touch with their Secretary to
find out if desired date was
already taken and so avoid con-
flict. 1 still think something can
be done about this. Think it
over.
