' j Friday, March 23, 1945 CONVERSION (Written by MUb Prances Angermayer In Kansas City, Mo., June 3, 1943) Look, God, I have never spoken to You— But now—I want to say “how do You do.” You see, God, they told me You didn’t exist— And like a fool—I believed all of this. • Last night from a shell hole I saw Your sky— I figured right then they had told me a lie. Had I taken time to see the things You made. I’d know they weren’t calling a spade a spade. I wonder, God, if You’d shake my hand. Somehow—I feel that You will understand. Funny—I had to come to this hellish place. Before I had the time to see Your face. Well, I guess there isn’t much more to .say. But I'm sure glad, God, I met You today. I guess the “zero hour’’ will soon be here. But I’m not afraid since 1 know You’re near. The signal!—Well, God—I’ll have to go. I like you lots—this 1 want You to know— Look, jidw—this will be a horrible fight— Who knows—I may come to Your house tonigOib— , Though I wasn’t friendly with You before, I wonder, God—if You’d wait at Your door— Look___I’m crying! Me!—Shedding t^rs!— I wish I’d known You these many years— Well, I will have to go now, God—good-by. Strange—since I met You—I’m hot afraid to die. News From Cassatt Mra.
