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.

DO YOUR PART
The Red Cross war fund campaign period is drawing
to a close. The fine army of workers laboring in the interest
of the Kershaw County Red Cross chapter to provide this
area with the quota assigned by the national organization
are not leaving any stone unturned in their efforts to meet
the obligation.
Will the drive go over iif Camden and Kershaw county?
That question is up to you Mr. and Mrs. America. It depends
on whetheuLyp.u and you and you do your part.
Many of you have sons, brothers,, sweethearts, fathers
over there where the battles are raging. After all you have
heard over the air and read in the press, direct from the Hpc
of returning heroes, you must appreciate the noble work the
Red Cross is doing. Every service man and woman will testi
fy to the wonderful help the Red Cross workers have been
to them.
Keep the Red Cross worker at the side of your husband,
your brother, your father, your sweetheart, by giving to the
Red Cross War Fund.
Don’t wait. Do it NOW!
