Blue is your star in its field of white. Dipped in the red that was born of fight; Born of the blood that our forebears shed, To raise your mother, the Flag, o’erhead. And now you’ve come in this fren zied day. To speak from a window—to speak and say: “I am a voice of a soldier son, Gone to be gone till the victory’s won. ‘I am the flag of service, sir; The flag of his mother—I speak for her Who stands by my window and waits and fears, But hides from the others her un ' wept tears. “I am the flag of the wives who wait For the safe return of the martial mate. A mate gone forth where the war god thrives To save from sacrifice other men’s wives. “I am the flag of the sweethearts true, i ’’fl The often unthought of—the sisters, too.

Griffin Writes Parents From India Dear Mother and Daddy, We have finally reached our desti nation. We arrived in India July 27. We were on the water 56 days. The voyege was uneventful and rather dull. How are all of the folks getting along? Hope they are well. How are the other boys in the service? Sure hope they are O. K. Well I’ll tell you a little about In dia. The natives try to be friendly, but they don’t know how. Most that we see are lousy and have leprosy. You have to be very careful and not touch any of them. They worship cows, snakes, rocks and so forth. Cows roam the streets just as people. They wouldn’t dare hurt them. We have been told that more people die in India of snake bites than do people in the states from automobile acci dents. There are things here that you just couldn’t believe unless you saw them for yourself. We are located on the edge of a desert. That is all I can say about what we are doing. We had a rain storm one day since we have been here. Mother, we haven’t been paid in three months, so I wish you would send me some cigarettes. They are hard to get over here. I guess we will be paid in Indian money. I’m sending some cards, I hope you get them OK. I’ll try to write once a week and you all write as often as possible. Send it Air Mail as it is safer and I’ll get it much quicker. Tell everybody “hello” and to write. Don’t worry about me as I am al- ri * ht - .... i With all my love, Kenneth Pvt. Kenneth R.

If the people ahead of you are slower and fall down, you can either pass them or jump over them with no trouble at all. 2. Don’t, under any circumstances stop to help someone else. 3. Take advantage of the oppor tunities afforded you when the air raid sirens sound the warning of attack or blackout. a. If in a bakery, grab a pie. b. If in a tavern, grab a beer. c. If in a movie, grab a blonde. 4. If you find an unexploded bomb, pick it up and shakt it; maybe 5. If an incendiary bomb is found the firing pen is stuck, burning in a building, throw gasoline on it. You can’t put it out anyway, so you might just as well have a lit tle fun. 6. When the first bomb falls, hol ler bloody murder. It will add to the fun and confusion and scare hell out of the kids. 7. It is well to have onions or limburger handy as a snack before entering a crowded air raid shelter. It may make you very unpopuler but you’ll have lots of room for yourself. 8. If an air raid warden starts to tell you what to do, knock him down and kick his teeth in. 9. If you find you are a victim of a direct hit, don’t go to pieces, just lie still and the sanitation squad will tae care of you. 10. Get friendly with some war den; they always have the best seats for themselves and their friends. Influence of The Bible By PAUL STEWART Pastor First Baptist Church Pelzer, S. C.\ The world’s greatest Teacher said that we must be made over, that is “be born again.” The greatest ex ponent of Christianity, the Apostle Paul, said that the gospel is “the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth” (Rom. 1:16). ‘ It is the transforming power in the lives of people. Some one has said, “I am influenc ed by the things that I come in con tact with.’’ Books influence the young and the old, either for good or bad. For that reason we should be very careful what we read and what our children read. We do not have the time to read all the books, therefore we should choose wisely what we do MISS HARMON WITH D. P. W. OFFICE Miss Harriet Harmon, of Silver- stret, has accepted a position with the Dept, of Public Welfare Office on College street, filling the vacancy made by Miss Floride Rothrock when she resigned to accept a position with the South Carolina Employment office in Anderson last week.

No book of any kind ever written has so affected the whole life of a people as the Bible. John Henry Green, in his book, ’’A Story Of The English People”, refers to the trans formation which came over England when the Bible was translated i»to the English language. From his book we learn: No greater moral change ever passed over a nation. England became the people of a book and that book was the Bible. As a mere ly literary monuntefct the English version of the Bible remains the noblest example of the English ton gue. But its literary effect wa> much less than its social efect. By iar the greatest of all was what'it did for the character of the people. The whole temper of the nation felt the change and a new conception of life, a new moral and religious impulse spread through every class. Regarding what the Bible would do, President John Adams wrote: “Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, every member should regulate his conduct by its precepts there exhibited. Every member would be obliged in con science to temperance and fugality and industry, to justice and kindness and charity toward ’his fellowmen, and to pjety,love and reverence to ward jUmighty God. In this com monwealth' no rrta?i~\</ou!d impair his health by gluttony, drunkenness or lust; no man would sacrifice his precious time to cards, or other trip ling or mean amusement; no man ! would steal or lie, or in any way de fraud his neighbor, but would live in peace and good will with all men; no man would blaspheme his Maker or profane his worship; but a rational, manly .sincere and unafected piety and devotion would reign in all hearts.” Robert Hall said: “The Bible is the treasure of the poor, the solace' of the sick and the support of the dy ing; and while other books may arouse and instruct in the pleasure hour, it is the peculiar triumph of the Book to create light in the midst of darkness, to alleviate the sorrow which admits of. no other alleviation, to dierct a beam of hope to the heart which no other topic of consolation can reach; while guilt, dispair, and death vanish at the touch of its holy inspiration,” A New Hebrides chieftain sat ■peacefully reading his Bible, when he was interrupted by a French trad er. “Bah,” he said, in French, “why are you reading the Bible? I sup pose the missionaries have got hold of you,you fool. Throw it away! The Bible never did anybody any good, in my opinion.’ “Let me tell you,” said the chieftain calmly, “that if it wasn’t for this Bible, you’d be in my kettle by now!” Books greatly influence—even the course of one’s life has been changed through the reading of one book. Ruskin said: “All that I have taught of art, everything that I have writ ten, every greatness that there has been in any thought of mine, what ever I have done in my life, has been simply due to the fact that when I was a child my mother daily would read to me a part of the Bible, and daily made me learn a part of it by heart.’’ So many read for the cultivation of their minds, but so few read for the cultivation of their lives, that is the inner-man. They seem to think it is all right for some old men and women, or some “sissy” boy, or a girl who is considered “out of date’, but as for them they have no time or love for reading of the greatest of all books, the Bible. As a young lady rode on a Pullman some time ago, she used her time to read her Bible. The venerable por ter was almost overcome as he pass ed her seat and saw her reading what he thought was the Bible. Finally, he stopped and asked her if she was reading the Bible,and when she re plied she was, he said, “Well, Miss, I ain’t never seen nobody as pretty as you readin’ the Bible on this train.” Rich, cultured and powerful Amer ica has many needs today. There are many things that bring tears to our eyes and sorrow to our hearts. Surely the great Father heart of Qod must ache when He ses how care less people are concerning Him, His Church and His Book. We need the Bible in all our experiences of life. When the Bible becomes a textbook of our lives, our lives will be made over. The world’s greatest need is and Friday mornings; and from 2 to 6 on Wednesday afternoon. All who will volunteer to help are asked to call the Red Cross office, phone 78 to be signed up for the hours convenient for each. • KENDALL MILLS LUTHERAN PARISH Rev. J. B. Harmap, pastor.

Lovely Birthday Party For Little Girl On Monday afternon, September 25th, at her home in Main street, Little Miss Martha Newell Summer entertained her friends at a party in honor of her seventh birthday.

The Bible is a book for such a time as this. In the time of trouble and need the Bible has never failed'to give help and light.

The Bible, if its teachings are carried out, will transform the whole life, make a new expression on the face,a new light in the eye, and "a new life in the individual.
