Sussex Post No. 8, American Leg
ion and its auxiliary will observe
7 o, 80 h \
by attending st. Pauls Episcopal
Church in a group on Sunday at
IL a. m.
In the past, the local post has at
tended a different church each Sun
day during the month of February,
but it was decided this year that
it would be more appropriate if a
special effort was made by all MEM
bers of the post and auxiliary to at
tend in group on one particular
Sunday and then stress attendance
at churches of their choice on the
other Sundays of the month.
The department chaplain, the
Rev. John B. Symonds, Harrington,
has asked all posts to set aside one
Sunday during February to attend
church in a group.
Mr.. Symonds has called attention
to the following, "'For God and
Country starts the Legion Pre-
amble and faith in God and loyalty
to our purposes of our great SER
vice organization. 1t is fitting,
therefore, that every Legion post in
Delaware take a leading part in
the Back to God movement spon-
sored by National Headquarters"
In charge of the local posts Co
to-Church month, in observance of
the national "Back-to-God" pro-
grams are Allen Larsen, post COM
mander; Ralph Lyons, American
ism chairman and Elias Baker
Reed, post chaplain.
