GOD HEJjPS THOSE WHO
LOVE AND OBEY HIM
Today as the mothers of Amarica
bow down their bawls and weep for
the sons that have gone to their
watery grave and try to fathom why
God brought this on, they cry oat
"Oh God, what have XI done to deserve
this?"
The people of the world have turned
away from God in their greed for
more money %nd power. In the beginning
when God created man, He
■aid to His Commanders "Thou shalt
have no other gods but Me." The
people of this world have tamed
from God as the Israelites did, seeking
their own way, thinking "I can
help myself," and as the result God
has turned from the people, bringing
His wrath upon them in the form of
war. Also in God's Commandments
He said "Thou shalt not covet," but
here comes Hitler and the Japanese
in ell their glory, seeking things that
belong to other nations, killing women
sod innocent children wfcfl^ever
harmed anyone God does not glory
in this for He is a just God. But the
people have turned from Him seeking
higher power and riches, and He will
show them that He is all-powerful.
I feel that if every man, woman
and child, and our soldiers on the
battlefield, would honestly come to
God and ask His help they would
get it.
So many times the Israelites turned
from God and each time their
. enemies overcame them;- bat when
they went to the Almighty God they
received His help. If people could
only toast and believe in - God, instead
of being afraid to mention His
name lest someone would lfiogh at
them, turn away from barrooms and
gambling d&is, and pray to God for
help, we would win this war.
If MacArthur and his men would
bow down in the dust and blood of
the battlefield and earnestly ask God
for help, they would get it, too. I
guess some people, especially the
Germans and Japanese, would think
this was the last thing that would
help, but God helps the ones who love
and obey him.
No matter how many men, 110 matter
how many planes, guns sod tanks
we have, if God is not with as we
cannot win. Let us think this over
and actually corns to Cod with submission
in our hearts sod ask for
the help that we need and save oar
homes mod loved ones. — "Carolina
Churchman,"
