SIX-INCH SERMON
REV. ROBERT H. HARPER.
THE CHURCH DURING WAR
Lesson for Nov. 12: Isaiah 2:2-4:
6:9. V; Matthew 5:23-4!;; Romans
13:1-7: Golden Text, Mathew 5:9.
Begir.ning with Isaiah's picture of
Christ's kingdom as one of righte
ousness and peace. and continuing
with a prophecy oi the- Prince of
Peace '.Isaiah 9:6-7). we come to the
teaching of J"sus concerning love to
enemio-o.
We find a contrast between love
to neighbors with hatred of enemies
and a Jove that includes enemies
In the iaiter *e have ibe example
of God Hitnseif. who sands Hi.? bles
sings on all alike.
From Paul's teachings oi the sri
j;in oi government. we ctinelude that
good citizenship is Christian duty.
During war the Christian's attitude j
should w determined by hia duty of ;
allegiance to constituted authority. ,
Violence done by ar. individual in i
defiance of law >s different from '
that done by the government in op- f
posing violence The church should j
support the government in war i
against aggression. wfciie urging i
tha- war b- waged without hatred i
and with ti;< - aim of bringing a ins! i
peace.
In time of peace, the church
should labor to inform, inspire and
support the government ii; putting
down the enemies that attack the f
country from within These enemies .
knew no truce, respect no rights, re- j
gard not the morals and welfare of j
our people, ana seize the opportu- i
nity to work their evil within the i
country while war is being waged j
upon enemies without. Eternal vigi- j
lance and determined opposition to j
cciistrous evils ;n our midst will be |
the price of safety And the people I
have the right io expect that thi-j
church shall lead m making our ;
country safe at home

NV>t only did the U. S victory
ymash this attempt and li'/us secure
General McArthur's lifelines to the
vital Pacific islands where American
honor has been more than restored,
but it also severely crimped the
Jap fleet's potential strength m
combatting t.;. S. operations close on
the China coast.
Following the loss of two battle
ships, four cruisers, six heavy crui
sers. three light cruisers, three small
cruisers or destroyers and six de
stroyers. and the possible sinking of
one battleship, three heavy cruisers,
two iight cruisers and seven destroy
ers;, the enemy was reported to have
left from seven to nine battleships,
from six to eight aircraft carriers,
from 11 to 16 cruisers, and from 104
to 126 destroyers. The list of re
maining enemy vessels , however,
does not include the number that
might be laid up for long periods for
repairs as a result of beatings taken
in the second Philippine battle.
Ships damaged in that action in
cluded six battleships, four heavy
cruisers, one light cruiser and ten
destroyers.
The second battle of ihe Philip
pines. combining not only a grand
sea action but also the protection of
a U. S. land army, will long rank
as on? of the epic encounters in
American history.
Playing a pivotal part in the bat
tle was Admiral William F. Halsey's
third fleet, which noi only joined
Vice-Admiral Titos. C. Kink aid's
seventh fleet in smashing the two
Jap forces about Lcyte island, but
also wheeled to the north to break
up still another enemy fleet sailing
southward to attack the U. S. units
in their exposed flank.
Even though two of their heavy
cruisers were sunk by U. S. subs
sighting their approach, two of the
Jap forces sailed onward toward
Leyte, with one coming up through
the maze of little islands to the
south, and the other moving on to
the north.
Although, all of the- ships making
up the two forces ran a gauntlet of
incessant bomb and torpedo fire
from U. S. carrier planes ar.d suf
fered heavy damage, they plowed
through to the east of Leyte, when.'
they met the full force of U. S.
surface warships as well as planes,
ana then, suffering severe casual
ties, turned tail and fled the same
way they had come, with American
pilots hot on their trail.
Meanwhile, U. S. scouting planes
had sighted the third Jap force bear
ing down on the fiank of the third
fleet from Formosa. Acting quickly,
Admiral Halsey concentrated sev
eral of his carrier-task groups and
started northward for a dawn at
tack. The maneuver caught the
enemy completely by surprise, and
before he could muster effective air
support, the Americans had struck
their full blow.
Admiral Chester W Nirnitz has
Officially announced that IJ. S. losses
were six ships, including one Aus
tralian cruiser, which was damaged.
