LIT. Colonel William Eo Lank
Whenever we have asked Colonel
Lank how old he was, he has al
ways said so many years young.
This week the Dean of all Della
ware military men celebrated his
eighty-ninth birthday. He passed
that day which happened to be
Monday, quietly with his wife. He
received many cards and kilograms
and other tokens of esteem from a
host of admirers from coast to
coast The colonel, veteran of the
Spanish-American War, which he
is always proud to call the only
war America even fought in which
the fighting men were all vOlun-
teers; the Mexican Border TrOu-
BILE; the First World War; vOlun-
teered for service in World War
Two, but was, as he calls it, de-
commissioned because of age. He
is the oldest member of the
American Legion in the State of
Delaware, and one of the Oldest
active veterans of the First World
War in the United States; in fact,
he is believed to be the oldest liv-
ing commissioned officer of that
titantic struggle, who served under
fire overseas. Despite his advanced
age, Colonel Lank is in full pos
session of his faculties and while
on the advice of his physician, he
does not go out in crowds as much
as he used to; he still enjoys Wis
/ it's from his old crOnies and assO-
ciates. Nearly three-quarters of a
century is a long time to be a
member of the military, but Col.
Lank is one of two living members
of the Old TOrbert Guards, the pre-
decessor of the first National
Guard Battery in Milford. He and
William G.. SammOns, also of Mil
ford. entered the Guards in 1880
as drummer boys. On Tuesday

Religion In Books
By Roy L. TaWes

COMMUNISM AND CHRIST by
Charles w. Lowry. Morehouse.Go
ham Company, New York. $3.50.
The 1852 Bishop of New York Book.
The author sees Communism as a
world religion and a colossal false
hood. He is careful in his state
ments, and uncOmprOmising in his
conclusions. He ably compares
Communism and Christianity, and
illustrates plainly with charts. He
defines the American Way as the
way Of freedom for the individual,
a way Of brotherhood, and a way Of
material and practical emphasis.
The volume points to Christ as the
central issue and the only Savior.
The church exists as His body in
carrying through to life the power
of redeeming love.
SIGNPOSTS ON THE KINGS
HIGHWAY by Frank Dean Clifford.
MorehOuse-GOrham Company, New
York. $3.50. A series of Lenten mes
sages. Many of the messages are
based on religious symbolism. They
pre- conversational in style, point
edly brief, and Informative. While
great preaching is absent here
there is some value in the book.
What we all need is a little sane
tuary in our hearts. where we may
be still with God, letting Him lead
us quietly as we rest in his love and
power. What we all need in these
days when our ears are assailed
with so much careless conversation
and constant noise is a return to
meditation, reading and quiet"
These pages could we'll prove an
effective aid to the devotional life.
