We do not pray that we may have good things;but rather that we nay be good.The perfect prayer is not one in which we tell God what v/e wivsh from him, but rather one in which' we ask God v;hat he wishes of us Do not pray to God only in an emergency. The pica of strangers is never as effective as the plea of friends, so do not think of God on''?^ when you are in distress or danger. Heaven I, not a ‘firehouse, and God docs not put out al'. the fires. God the loving Father, often den;:;v; us those things which in the- end would pr * v : harmful to ,us. Every boy wrjite a revolver tiC nnd no father yet has ever granted this requeL'-. VJhy should we think God less wise ? Some d^..' we will thank God not only for what He gave ur: but also for that which He refused. EDITORSS'CORNER: Thanks G. I. Joe for that you*r doing. don»t alway s spread it on thick like we really feel but r^> member you Navy-Boot, you Sweating, Cursing 'SoaBees, the folks on . the* Main-Drag, round Lawrence*s Store and Crisp Cross Roads think a lot -of what your doing. And them that don't Well my uncle got scared when a whole pack of dogs came yapping & barking.round him but Bud told him not to be Afraid cause they were only peaceful houn dogs.But my uncle said when th£t? many of anything got pfter him he was scared because there was bound to be at least one SOB In the crowd, so you G.I* Janes, you Floronce- Nightingales remember there/”are a lot of folks in old Edgecombe and we don't guarantee not to h.nve any Ham pishes or John L. Lewises in our midst cause thats what freedom brings forth — that is the right to be the back end of a horse if you want tp be; but wo do guarantee that the freedom your preserving will bring forth a hundred Patrick Henrys» for every Benedict Arnold. Oh yes you cocky Marine, you hard boil ed para-shutest, we know what your doing £: by the grpce of God we're going to bo able to look you square in the eye when you come hone and say we did what there was to be done on the Home Front, Listen here you grease monkeys, you muddy, bloody dirty footsoldiers, don't believe any letters that tell you things are bad at home. What wc h.^vo to stand barely comes in the class of inconven ienoes much less hardships. The hardest thing we have to bear is the realization that your catching hell and that what we do to help is so little. Oh all you fighting men & women of Ed^acombe harkc)n.,to this printed word - don't let the strikers, the draft dodgers, the corner clipping, selfish can hop^rder give you the idea they are rny- more than the smallest part of this our beloved country A knew ye and remember well there will not always be a war and when its over, over there, come home with your blood won democracy and your battle given ballot and get rid of the minority spongers you saved along with the real Americans. We'll be some kinda glad when your back fellows- Main Street is lonsecmo without*you ^—, but we remember the face that isn*t Jiere with more pride than those that now grace our walkway for 1 repeat - we know what you'r doing and we^ro proud your some of our folks.
