^/ First of all, j^'ou notice, we believe
iTTTTT^ t could not spealc effectively, if we
I i *» I M 1 * “''% ■" believe in God. The millions

T/f L'h' J i //If. ^ all paiiis of the world are speaking in
' ' ‘ the only way left for us to speak, isince
Pearl Harbor, Tojo’s men in the State
Department in l^ashin/^on could not hear
us throuph Hon. Cordell Hull and other
officials. Hitler and I-iussolini, as well, have failed to hear us speak through our
president. V/e, as a democracy, would much prefer to speak in a more Christ-like
manner, but we have been forccd to speak in a little clearer and more distinct tone,
and we ai’e doing just thct. Major Jimmy DooLittle made a nice little speech over
Tokyo and from all reports, he is at present on an impressive speaking engagement
in North Africa. Gen, IvlacArthur and his men have been spcal'.ing over a3.1 the f'lr
east and south west Pacific vxid in a language the axis do understand, Colin Kelly,
Gen. Ike Eisenhov^cr and thousands of others, too nuiiierous to mention, are speaking
in defense of our right to live as free men fnd worship Crod, according to the
dictates of our individual conscience.
We trust and pray to God, that the way wo arc speaking now, will result in the
right of all humanity to live free and happy under God. Boys, have faith and try
to be soldiers like Gideons soldiers, after his army could only boast of throe
hundred men.
In closing, may I extend sincere wishes for a joyous Christmas Season, and through
out the Kew Year, mn.y you be blessed with every happiness,

As wo arc approacliing another Christmfis season, wc \v'ill hoar again the carols and
the story that never grows old...Of Jesus and his birth. Lany may ask questions
as to why God having loved the world so much to send His onl^^ Son into the world
to save it; and then allows wars to come to destroy his people.
The CHURCH...Gods, only Son the HE/D...with all its high ideals is worth fifhting
for. Tho’ the world is overshadowed with v/ar clouds, v-/e can have pea.ce.. .Peace in
our hearts...A lasting pcace.
Here at home, v/e arc planning a prograra to be given along with the Christmas tree
service for the little folk of the Sunday School. l:r. Leo Chrjnpion or Mr, Smawley
vjill lead in the song service; the pastors vjill be \;ith us j-jnd say s: word or two;
and the grovjn ups as v^cll as the children v;ill be locking for Santa.
We rre hoping to have the glee club from Piedmont vjith us for the re^iular
service on the 3rd Sunday night,
Vi/’c have lost this month...by death..,ohe of our most loyal members, Mrs, ’’Gent"
v/illic'3jns.
And now, until v/e slor.ll have another visit \;ith you,,..,
"Looking back upon the year you’ve spent since last December,
May you have a lot of cheer and ]^3.essings to remember.
And looking forward may j^’ou feel that this year vdll increase
The bright hopes all are cherishing for true r.nd lasting PEACE,"
