FOlItUp!
of us oro lucky enough to hove oats that run. And
if we expect the* 46 keep on running we know we have to
take core of them. BUT. a posanger or two in that empty back
saat won't wear out the upholstering nor will you weor out
your tires when you st^ to give someone a lift into town.
If any of you soldiers are“starting to say« Ta» the civil*
gure are tight/* you oon stt^ right now. If anything you
are much more guilty of this than they. Not a day goes ^
thot we don't look out of the window only to see some GI
drive by a group of hU fellow soldiers waiting for a bus when
he eouJd have easily given a lift to four or five of them.
We are always talking about that “Great American
Sj^t." in fact we are ftghting a War right now becauM of
selfishness and lack of co-operation between nations. How
can notions be unselfish If its Individuals don't practice their
own sermons,
That gas you use going into town or coming out to the
field can furnish the transportation for two or three others—
So stop wasting gasoline and share a ride.

Life’s Center
Of Gravity
A center ot gravity is tost point
around which all objMts, unob
structed by otoer powers, tend to
assemble or cluster. A universe
without a center of gravity axnild
be a mulUverae of chaotic frag-
m nta Order le brought about onhr
as each fragment finds its attrac
tion In one central power.
Every Ufe must have a center
gravity. Something around
aMch it can move which will bold
It together end give K perman
ence, force and stability. The na
ture ef this center largely de
termines tbs character ol a per-
sob's life.
It Is becoming more and more
apparent that Ifie’s true center of
gravt^ is not to be found to any-
totog material er phsrstca! for hu
man exporienee bas taught us how
taadeqbele they are. We have all
either tried er seen otoers try to
build toeir Uves around every
kind flf activiUr. Seme have tried
boms. educatSem, work, play,
(risads or irtiat have you and found
that they were not strong enough
to fumlMt toe power ucLSusery to
tte alt of Ufe tether.
XJfe^ center can either be within
one's self or outside one’s self.
H tt to within, itfe tetxls to be
introspective and toe Indivldaal be
comes narrow, selflsb, hau^^ and
self Important. If the eentw to out
side the tendency to toward the
materfaUstic. If we think of things:
tounanltartott. If we think of pecH
pie; or spbrltual tf we think ot O^.
Experiince bas taught us toat
toe most adequate center of gravi
ty for Ufe to to be found to God.
H we can feel toat every thing we
do or think makes a differenee to
an Eternal Being we find our
Uvos rotating to an orbit determin
ed by the ml of that Bei^. We
fird that every experience « JUe
seems to 1m connected. Life takes
on new reason. Our work, our
play, our Joys, our swrows. our
successes, oue disappointments an
become Integrated end Ufe begins
to have meanlnx.
Many of the conflicts that we
faos here to tbe Army are doe to
the fact that we have not found
an adequate eenter ot gravity for
our Uves. We would do ourselves,
our country and our God a favor
b" taking time out and placing
ans llvm to toe Slvtoo pattern.
Many problems we once bad would
disappear and life would be much
more worthwhile.
