Maybe you read in the newspapers
That the President asked the
reporters
To name the war.
Our President is a very great man.
Joe,
But he does not know very much
about whom to ask
To name wars.
Reporters, Joe. are men who
think with their heads.
No one could name this war out
of his head.
It had to be named out of the
heart and out of the soul.
And out of some Instinct that
reaches back
Thousands ai.d thousands of
years:
Back through all the struggle of
mankind
To establish the rights
That we are fighting to keep now
But you were right, Joe.
You named the war.
This is God’s War.

Saturday evening to the members

sweet course followed the game,
which was in play at two tables.
Miss Elolse Starr was winner of
the top score award and Mr.s.
Ralph Reins the honor prize.

being in five thousand yeers
'Who was not too conceited in
naming a war.
For in all 'he wars'that men
have fought in the past.

on our side.”

all history
Who ever said, “We are on
God’s side.”
