t REV. ROBERT H. HARPER f
(This week’s “Six-Inch Sermon**
fis taken from a weekly column,
"Faisons in Uniform,” written by
Jacob Simpson Payton for the
General Commission on Army and
Ksvy Chaplains.)
FOX HOLE RELIGION
It seems that Chaplain Thomas
BL McDilL Jr. arrived in the
Sooth Pacific with an inquiring
. mind. „ Since he had had no ex
perience at the front he was eager
for information about the exact
religious condition of men in ac
tual combat. As far back as dur
ing his pastorate of the Associ
ated Reformed Presbyterian
Church, Russellville. Ark., he had
heard many conflicting reports
varying all the way from the
claim that troops in action were
veritable Cromwellian crusaders
to the charge that they had di
vested themselves quite entirely
Btf reliance upon religious faith.
His first opportunity to get at
the facts came to Chaplain McDill
when shortly after his arrival on
an island of the Pacific, the
senior chaplain came to see him.
Soon the conversation turned to
durability of religious experience
arising in periods of fear and
danger. •
TO the General Commission on
Army and Navy Chaplain's, Chap
lain McDill has sent an account
of what he heard that day. He
writes: “Recently the senior chap
lain had invited, a chaplain, fresh
from the States,’ to preach at one
cf the services. His subject was
*Fox Hole Religion,* and the gist
«f his sermon was a rebuke a-
galnst sudden professions amidst
danger with an equally sudden
forgetfulness as soon as the dan
ger was passed. After the service
the chaplain in charge asked;
"How long have you been out
here?* T have just arrived,’ was
the reply. ‘Can you give me .a
specific instance of a soldier in a
fox hole, suffering from bombard
ment, who has made a promise to
God that he failed to keep?’
asked the senior chaplain.

Cautions Motorists
To Take Extra
Care Of Tires
Pacing a backlog of more than
150,000 approved applications for
new Grade I synthetic tires for
which there are no stocks avail
able. the Office of Price Adminis
tration today cautioned motorists
to take extra care of their tires
during the summer months in or
der to make them last until re
placement can be had.
J. P. Armstrong, regional ra
tioning executive, pointed out that
one of the objections to synthetic
rubber, the only kind now avail
able for civilian passenger use, is
Its inability to withstand heat ds
well as tires made from crude
robber.
Even in winter driving, he said,
tremendous temperatures are
built up within the tire by the
constant flexing of the sidewalls
and friction aganist the highway,
and in summer this heat is in
creased immensely.
He cautioned motorists to drive
slower—35 miles per hour, at the
aiost—and to have their tires re
capped before the carcass becomes
damaged. He also warned that
streetcar tracks, curbing, road ob
stacles and holes contribute more
than their share tq the ruining of
tires.
“With responsible care”, Mr.
Armstrong said, “a tire can be re
capped from three to five times,
adding many thousands of miles
to its life. There is no outlook
for new tires for any but the most
icssential drivers soon, so motorists
.most take care of the tires they
Iiave now.”
His is Invasion! Now in the hearts, brains and muscles of
our American Youth lies the future of our country.
Bow your heads. Pray with millions of mothers the country over, as
their hearts reach out over the seas, each one seeking out her boy, to
protect him with the shield of her love.

Believe that in this world there is definite strength in decency and honor.
Believe that in our devotion there is moral force. Believe that our witt
to victory will aid that victory.

boys fighting for us.

energy, let us adopt a common symbol as our faith in Victory.
Let that Symbol be War Bonds. Let us pour our money in a gigantic
flood of goodwill toward our sons and brothers, as a spiritual shield
for them.
This is the Invasion. The lives of our boys are at stake. Let them see

To make the civilian supply go

of gasoline conservation:
1 Share your car.
2. Ask for no
