BIBLE STUDY DAY
TO BE OBSERVED
The Wilmington Ministerial as
sociation has designated Sunday,
March 18, as a special day to urge
the study of the Bible in New
Hanover High School, it was an
nounced yesterday by the Rev. J.
F. Herbert, chairman of the as
sociation’s Bible study committee.
This is the sixth year for the
teaching of Bible as a credit course
in the city school system. At the
present time there are seven Bible
classes, five of which are for be
ginners. Two are advanced classes.
The first year course is a general
survey, in which the Bible is brief
ly studied. The second year study
takes up in detail sections of the
Bible that appear most practical
lor the particular group of students.
As the students are beginning to
plan now for the next school year’s
courses, the Ministerial association
is suggesting that in every city
church emphasis be laid by the
pastors upon the desirability
each child electing a Bible course
«s part of next year’s curriculum.
The Bible department at the
school sponsors, through the Bible
club, various activities that help
to create and maintain a Christian
atmosphere throughout the school,
he said. Among these activities are
* morning meditation period,
stimulation of interest in home
room devotionals; visiting those
students of the school who are in
sorrow or ill, guiding new students
of the school into churches of their
choice
, Two teachers are employed for
^♦ruction of Bible in this county.
They are Misses Louise Bashford
and Maude Webber. Each holds a
Raster's degree in religious educa
h°n and a certificate in teaching
bom the State of North Carolina.

CHURCHILL LAUDS
GEN. EISENHOWER
LONDON, March 10.—<A>>—Prime
Minister Churchill congratulated
Gen. Eisenhower today on “the
great victory won by the Allied
armies under your command by
which the defeat or destruction of
all the Germans west of the Rhine
will be achieved.”
He praised the “remarkable
speed and flexibility of the Ameri
can armies,’’ and expressed plea
sure that. British and Canadian ar
mies “should have played a part
in your far-reaching and trium
phant combinations.”
Text of the Churchill telegram:
“Let me offer you my warmest
congratulations on the great vic
tory won by the Allied armies un
der your command by which the
defeat or destruction of all the
Germans west of the Rhine will
be achieved. No one who studies
war can fail to be impressed by
the admirable speed and flexibility
of the American armies and
groups of armies and the adaptive
ness of the commanders and their
troops to the swiftly changing con
ditions of modern battles on the
greatest scale. I am glad that the
British and Canadian armies in
the north should have played a
part in your far-reaching and tri
umphant combinations.”
in reply Jtsisennower saia:
“On behalf of this Allied force
I thank you sincerely for the
warmth of your congratulations on
our latest advances. These suc
cesses have stemmed from the gal
lantry and devotion of all ranks
•of all services and from the pre
cision and power with which each
successive blow of ground and air
have been struck. The attraction
of sizeable enemy formations to
the north to meet the attack
launched by the 21st army group
on Feb 8, resulted as planned,
in increasing the vulnerability of
the enemy to the devastating la
ter attacks of the 9th, 1st and 3rd
every Allied unit of every service
has performed its allocated part
of its own further distinction and
to the dismay of the enemy.”
