Grewenow Chaplain Corps, USNR Spring! Resurgent life. Nature awakening. Grass struggling upward. Buds straining to burst their confining cells. Warm sunshine. Earth bathed in a benediction. Restless ex pectancy, eager anticipation. Winter reluctant to depart—struggling against the newcomer. Occasional, fitful at tacks. But the victory of Spring assured! Spring, 1944. Resurgent life in freedom’s cause. All the world waiting. Operations poised. Determination straining to be re leased. Over all the warmth of hope. Enemy unwilling to let go its grip on the world. But victory assured! Spring in the souls of men. Spring with its glorious festival of Easter. Commemoration of the resurrection of Christ. The battles of life reluctant to let us go. Death and the grave unwilling to release their claims. But—vic tory over them all assured! “This is the victory that overcometh the world, namely, our faith.” This is Spring eternal in the hearts of men! “I don’t think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.”—Lincoln Sunday Divine Services Protestant 1000 Memorial Hall Roman Catholic 0616 Gerrard Hall 1000 HiU Miuie Hall Jewish 1000 Graham Memorial * * • Chaplain’s Office Hours: Daily, 08S0-1700; Monday and Wednesday, 0830-1800.

Suddenly a fluttery hen, being chased by a big red rooster, ran across the busy street and was killed by a passing car. “Ah,” sighed one of the ancient vintages, “how wonderful! She chose death instead.” An ®ld Londoner was asked if he was not scared when a bad blitz was on. “No, guvner,” was the reply, “can’t say as I am. Yer see, I count me chances.

Then comes London—well, he can’t miss that; but then he’s got to find ’Ammer- smith, then Acacia Road, then No. 87, and then most likely, I’ll be at the club!” ^ ^ The Japanese Admiral reported to the “Son of Heaven”: “We blasted Pearl Harbor, mission not so successful.
