Dear little flag in the window there.
Hung with a tear and a woman's
prayer;
Child of Old Glory, born with a star.
Oh, what a wonderful flag you are!
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.
I am the flag of a mothers son.
And won’t come down till the victory*
won.”

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-

1. Run like hell when bombs start
cropping. It don’t matter where, as
long as you run. 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

"Our latest batch of War Bonds is bringing almost imm*-
diate action."
We can not go wrong in choosing
the Bible.
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. •

DOMINICK WIRES ROOSEVELT
ABOUT FARM LABOR "
John J. Dominick, a farmer of
Newberry county, in Columbia yes

to President Roosevelt in Washing

an equality with union labor.
His telegram, he said, was as fol
lows: "Please fix prices on farm
products sufficiently high- to pot
farm labor on a n equality with QIO
and other organized and government
regulated groups of labor, and please
bear in mind farm labor works ten
to 14 hours a day without time and a
half for over eight hours a day, and
also please remember the enormous
increases m the wages of organized
labor since the so-called parity per
