“/ know in whom I have believed, and am
persvuded that He is able to keep that which
I have committed unto Him.” II Timothy 1:12.
There is a time for humility and a time for
assertion—not self-assertion but assertion of
the truth and of our convictions. Paul was not
afraid to say, “I know.” It is always refresh
ing to hear a note of confidence in Christian
witness.
Let us mention some things which we know
as Christians. We know that God is faithful,
is powerful, and responsive to our prayer. We
know that Christ lives and reigns. We know
that the Holy Spirit casts out fear and instills
power and love. We know that the Word of
God is also the Word of Life. We know that
the grace of God is greater than our sins. We
know that love is stronger than hate and faith
is greater than doubt. We know that the dis
ciplined life is bound to win. We know that the
Lord gives a crown of righteousness to all who
have fought a good fight and kept the faith.
We know these things because we know Him
and are persuaded that He is able to keep that
which we have committeed unto Him.

“PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE
AMMUNITION.” This phrase has caught
fire and we hear it wherever we go. We would
not belittle its content or appropriateness,
however, let us not, “pass the Lord and praise
the ammunition.”
On The Lighter Side
A beautiful young lady went for a swim in a
secluded spot but forgot to take a towel. She
had a swell swim, then came out on the bank
and was allowing nature’s balmy breezes to
dry her when she heard a rustling in some
nearby bushes. “Who’s there?” she cried in
alarm.
“It’s Willie,” answered a rather high pitch
ed voice.
“How old are you Willie?” asked the girl.
The answer came quickly: “Seventy-nine,
darn it."
*****
A fool is a man who argues about whether
a woman has brains or not ... a wise man
busies himself with the things she has.

Said Billy Rose to Sally Rand;
“Will you dance without your fan?”
Sally danced without her fan.
Billy Rose—Sally ran.

An authentic V Mail letter written by a
Tennessee lad reads as follows:
“Dear Pa: I’m in a tight spot, cooped up
here in this ship with guns and ammunition,
submarines and bombers and Yankees all
around me. Tell Ma not to worry.”
There are certain optimists who hope the
painted-stocking fad will extend to bathing
suits this summer.
*****
A bluejacket was going home on leave and
was lucky enough to have Pullman reserva
tions. When he got ready to retire and pulled
back the curtains to climb into his berth, he
was astonished to find two luscious blondes re
posing there.
He carefully checked his ticket, reservation,
and berth, number to make sure he wasn’t
wrong, then said:
“I’m deeply sorry, ladies. I’m a married
man—a man of respect and standing in my
community. I cannot afford to have a breath
of scandal touch me. I’m sorry—one of you
girls will have to leave.”
