Borrowed Cominent
Hitler Described Poetically
Included in remarks in the Congres
sional Record is the following poem writ
ten by Webster P. Huntington, which was
placed in the Eecord by Representative
Clarence J. Brown, of Ohio:
HITLER
Maker of autocrats and slaves.
Chief of red-handed, blinded knaves.
Dictator of the law of force.
Devoid of feeling or remorse;
Usurper of each right divine.
Pretender that “the world is mine,”
If that philosophy be right,
That justice rests alone with might.
Then Heaven is Hell and virtue vice,
Then hate for love may well suffice;
Then honesty is so uncouth
That foul corruption mocks at truth!
Were tortured Europe’s bloody soil
In travail with maternal toil,
' Like some huge monster giving birth
To monsters, from the depths of earth
Each long drawn out and labored groan
i Would find an echo in thine own,
Thou perjurer! From filthy mines
Where imps erect their grimy shrines
To worship Satan from afar;
In dungeon cells that jpeep
Or ray of sun
Thy vict
snare!
Mid depths remote
ThisHS^^ji of those thy anger smote—
To such misshapen forms restored
.As most to fight thee—would arise
To rend thy heart, to blast thine eyes!
O evil mockery! O shame
Of all mankind! _A fueher’s name
Is greater than all human life!
An armed host prepared for strife,
A name by slavery upheld
The forces of Damnation weld,
And over all thou seek’st to rule,
O ruthless tryant, gibbering fool!
Speed, tardy Justice, speed the hour
When Vengeance may his prey devour!
Let tyrants' blood in torrents pour.
So Hitlerism reign no more!
■ -Webster P. Huntinston.

EXIT THE HOT DOG?
(Twin City Sentinel)
The traditional American hot dog, we
hear, may soon be gone with the draft, er,
beg pardon, meat rationing.
OPA hints rad:her darkly that a new
“victory sausage” will replace the hot dog.
It will contain some meat (what kind of
meat?) and ah unspecified quantity of
edible substitute material.
Alas and Alack! We have fallen upon
grievous times indeed if the hot dog must
bow (wow) out of the picture. Will the
good old U. S. A. be the U. S. A. without
the hot dog stands at county fairs and by
the r( 'dside, the sizzling wieners in quick
lunch cafes? No matter how good or free
of horse meat the “victory sausage” may
be, can it ever really take the place of the
delectable wiener?
Certainly, the passing of the hot dog
ought to wake up all complacent Ameri
cans, if there are any left, now that the
new tax levies are coming home to roost
on pay envelopes and checks, while the “no
pleasure driving” gasoline ban keeps mil
lions of cars parked in the family garage,
to the fact that this is war. Nothing less
than a great war could put a crimp in the
great American family’s yen for the warm
puppies

GIVING DOESN’T HURT
Imps Of the Devil
A war correspondent who witnessed the
naval battle off the shores of Guadalcanal
island in the Solomons in mid-November
tells of some instances which cannot help
but convince the most skeptical that the
Japanese are the most unholy beasts yet.
Ot the morning after the big naval en
gagement,'small American vessels patroll
ed the spa off the coast picking up survi
vors from ships which had been sunk.
There were American survivors num
bering about 800 and an undisclosed num
ber of live Japs floating aroilnd by various
means.
The Japs we\*e so low down mean that
they would shoot with revolvers American
seamen who were trying to rescue them
from drowning. In addition, many Japs
deliberately plunged themselves into Davy
Jones locker rather than ► be rescued and
taken prisoner, to which we enter no objec
tions if that is what they wanted to do.
But we cannot conceive of anything
nwre hellish than to try to kill those who
are trying- to save your life.
The writer told of one instance where
three Japs, one of which, was an officer,
in water. An American seaman

It doesn’t hurt anyone to give liberally
to the cause of God. If you will read and
study the Bible you- will find that God
strongly upholds the idea of giving to Hi.s
cause, but never teaches anywhere that
we should be stingy, close and selfish.
This is how multitudes of people, many of
whom claim to be Christians, go through
life, but such is out of the will of God. He
never approves of, getting all we can and
keeping it‘.
No, it never hurts us to give to God for
the support of His holy Word. He always
blessed those who are liberal in their
hearts and souls. You will find that all
spiritual people are liberal with their
means toward the cause of God, and for
the good of others. Even though they may
give ail they have, yet God will give them
more. He will double it, yes, and more
oftentimes.
No man ever regrets giving liberally
with their means toward the cause of God,
and righteousness when he comes to ex
change worlds. What he has given away
will be what he had laid up in the heaven
ly world, to an extent. It is wonderful to
lay up treasures in heaven by giving to the
support of the Gospel here on earth. It is
true that some stingy neople may accu
mulate quite a little property on earth, but
they can’t take it with them when they
die. On the other hand, many people may
give away about all they have here, but
they have a rich treasure awaiting them in
heaven, if they have lived a faithful,
Christian life. , [
Giving doesn’t hurt, but withholding'
does. Many people who are spiritual pau
pers on earth will be far worse off in the
next world, although they might have ac
cumulated much earthly property during
life. We believe a man with little means,
who gives liberally and cheerfully to the
cause of God, enjoys life far better than
the rich man who gives nothing.
Don’t think you’ll be hurt by giving to
the right cause. However, you’ll be hurt
if you don’t give. God’s plan for you and
roe i^ to give,'give, give, and not with
hold. He teackf s us to give, but never ad
vises us to withhold. -Godly and holy men
are alwi^B liberal givers. They may tome-
