THERE ALWAYS WILL BE GOD They cannot shell His temple, Nor dynamite His throne; They cannot bomb His city, Nor rob Him of His own. They cannot take Him captde, Nor strike Him deaf and blind. Nor starve Him to surrender, Nor make Him change His mind. Though ali the world be shattered, His truth remains the same, His righteous law's still potent, And “Father” still His name. Though we face war and struggle And feel their goad and rod, We know above confusion There always will be God. —“Now”’ - The goal of the Second War Loan drive is 13 billion dol- EV4 lars.

The detector does the same work on land as the mine sweeper does at sea. Like buying War Bonds, the sol dier operating the detectors will never know just how much they have aided in the success of their campaign, but he knows his work is necessary and must be accom plished. If more Americans on the home front will come to realize this, the success of our War Bond cam paigns will be assured. V. S. Trtonri Dtttrlmert WHAT AMERICA MENAS TO ME (By Fahh Baldwin) 1 have never thought about what my country means to me until re cently. I always took it for granted, like breathing. But when something happens which threatens to cut off vour supply of air you realize how irecious it is. Being an American means life. America means my home. It means he beauty of the land and the peace ■T the skies. It means the right to am a living for myself and children, md to bring up my children a s I see *it. It means* my children’s right to -boose their means of livelihood heir homes, their church, and their rolitics. It means my right to walk i free woman upon free roads, under a free heaven. I have not earned this right to be in American. I was born^|i*re. and had no choice in the matter. But now I know that I must earn the right which was given me. I must stop and think what it means to be an American today. I must act like an American—I must think like an American. In short, it is not enough to have been born in America. I must be an American every moment of my waking life. A British bachelor with a yea.rly income of $400,000 now pays $377,- 000 in income tax.
