BACK TO GOD -.

The American Legion in conven-
ton in Miami, Fla, in 1851, adopted
Back to God" movement, to put
emphasis on the first charge in
the American Legion preamble,
which is For God and Country"
Rev. John j. Atwell, chaplain for
Proctor Kildow Post No. II, Ameri-
can Legion, at Oakland, called at
tention to this movement this week
since February is Back to God"
month. He called on people to wor-
ship regularly at public worship,
Join in daily family prayers, give
children daily religious instruction
so that they may be able to fulfill
their duty to God and their coun-
try
The movement has these con
cepts;
Every person has the divine
right to worship God as he cares
to, whether Protestant, Catholic or
Jew. If Americans fail to use this
privilege it may be withdrawn from
us. Our country is the only one
which has not been ravaged by war
on our soil.
The American Legion urges
parents TO see that their children
are trained in their Sunday
Schools, that families attend the
regular church services to find and
know the Way, the Truth and the
Life. The family that prays to-
gether stays together.
Marriage is not merely con
tract between man and woman, but
a contract between man, God and
woman; between woman, God and
man.
Peace and happiness reign in
the home where Gods name flows
from the lips of children and par
cnts alike in prayer.
Church will preserve the free
dom Of religion, one of America
greatest blessings.
School is not merely a contract
between teacher and pupil, but be-
tween teacher and God and pupil;
between pupil and God and teach
en-.
Health and healing do not con-
stitute merely contract between
doctor or practitioner and patient,
but God seals all contracts.
Business, labor and government
have contracts not only with man
but with God being the sealer. A
nation that walks with God need
fear no man."
These thoughts are most worthy
We'd have a different world if the
Legionnaires, other veterans and
all citizens followed them.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1953-02-26

There are people like that The
more they sin the less they care,
They can commit a wrong and then
lie down in undistmbed rest as
though they had just come in from
Ia healthy walk in the paths Of
righteousness.
But this is not happiness. It is
drowsiness. This is not comfort.
1t is w1etchedness. This is not
sleep. It is death.
If you are sleeping the sweet
sleep of peace when something is
troubling your conscience, you'd
do better to wake yourself up. For
surely this an indication yon need
the peace that is found in the Lord.
No other can compare to that.
There is no rest, no comfort, no
sleep as sweet as that which
comes from living your life in
reference to the Almighty. Seek
God and your soul shall find rest,
the word that can change your
life.

Likes Our Hospital

To the Editor of The Republican:
| read in your paper last Friday
a report from the Garrett County
Memorial hospital which was an
excellent report. In June, 1852, my
wife was operated on and remained
two weeks in the hospital and she
said the treatment she received was
wonderful. had cataracts. The
right eye was entirely blinded for
two years and my wife spoke to
Dr.. Alvarez about me having an
operation coming up and he sug-
gested coming to the hospital in
Oakland.
| made a trip to Baltimore and
was quoted a price and would have
to remain in Johns Hopkins for
three weeks. Then | came to Cum
berland and about the same story.
Dr.. Alvarez suggested DR.. Myers,
of Moundsville, w. Va, a special
list, so on January 8, 1858, | was
operated ON by DR.. Myers, assisted
by Dr.. Alvarez, and in one week
was released from the hospital
and received my glasses on Febru-
any 20, 1853, and can see wonder
fully well.
take this privilege to say the
doctors, nurses, orderlies and hos
pital staff are wonderful and the
best hospital | have ever seen. Why
go elsewhere when we have the
best in our own county
Sincerely,
THOMAS WI. SON

Two separate pieces Of copy

a very serious situation in regard
to fatalities on the highway.
One listed that SO civilians are
injured in motor vehicle accidents
on the home front for every Z. S.
serviceman wounded in battle in Ko-
rea. In comparison there were 3d.
600 serviccmen wounded in two
and one-half years in Korea, and
for the same period Of time those
injured from automobile accidents
totaled 3,35O,OO0.
Starting with the first battle of
