"GLORY TO GOD IN TDK HIGHEST" By Ruth Taylor > "And behold there were she,> herds abiding in the fields b\ -night."

Glory to Goc is not a lip service?but a cry oi exaltation, a giving of homage, ur acknowledgement that that whi.h is right and just must prevail We will have to fight the evd r broad in the world tc/day. We will have to strive niightly for the right, ttrr at the end Is the prorri: ^ ^ ire, And on earth?peace?peace? not a peace of servile acquiescence not a peace of appeasement?bul a peace of. justice, a'peace of ho. nor, a peace of jcry, a peace of good will to ALL men. 4-U ~ 1 ~ ? j iitii tnr icssun wie aiiKti ?
