He had been interned since, Jjf 0 Question Where can I find some good prayers? I don't know how to pray properly. ' Answer Read the Psalms. There you will find prayers appropriate almost every human experience. Q. My beat friends do not under stand my .trouble. What can I do? A. Pray to God. Psalm 103:13, 14: "Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him. For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust." . Q. I thought the word "meat" in the Bible always means 1 "flesh." Am I wrong? A. In Genesis 1:29 it refers to fruits, grains, and nuts, and has the meaning of food. And God said, Be' hold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." The word "meat" is used in this sense in other places also. Q. Do you believe in marriage? A.-r-The Bible says it is honorable. Hebrews 13:4. When God instituted marriage, He said, "It is not good that the man should be alone." Gene sis 2:18. Christ honored a wedding with His first miracle at Cana in Galilee. John 2:11. Q. Isn't any preaching that dis turbs oirn peace of mind wrong? A. One day Jesus preached at Nazareth, "and all they in the syna gogue, when-they heard these things, were filled with wrath." Luke 4:23. Was His preaching wrong or right ? Read Acts 2:37: "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the re3t of the apostles. Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Was the preaching of the apostles wrong or right? Stephen preached before the Council, and "when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth." Acts 7:54. The apostle Paul preached on the castle stairs and declared that God had commis sioned him to preach to the Gentiles. "And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live." Acts 22:22. Was Paul's preaching wrong, or right? ONE STEP WONT GET YOU THERE And One A D Won't Bring Success-You Must Keep On Advertising ; ; u WIN YOUR RACE For Business Supremacy By Advertising On Their Birthday On Saturday a 7:30 dinner was THURSDAY, MAY 31. 1945. Lizzie Mill vs. Boy Scouts Chamber of Commerce vs. Old Mill Farmers Pian Greater Buys In War Bonds In spite of an "off" season so far ;as income is concerned, farm War Bond leaders are now making prepa rations for selling more bonds to farmers during the Se enth War Loan than in any previous Drive, -according to M. L. Predmoie, Chief ot the Agricultural Section, War Finance Division, Treasury Depart ment. With the help of country bank ers they're out to convince the men who till the soil that they should convert their expanded bank ac counts into bonds. "Farmers, like all Americans, have been building up bank deposits and currency holdings ever since the war started," Predmore said. "On January 1. 1920, agriculture held cur rency and bank deposits totaling slightly over 4 billion dollars; The '1&45 figure is not available, but it is Expected to be in excess of 10 bil lion." ' With larger operations and in creased costs farmers must have jnore operating capital than in 1940, jfeut they don't need 10 billion, in Predmore' opinion. He believes farmers can and will put a substan tial portion of these cash reserves into War Bonds. When they go out to sell War Bonds to farmers in the Seventh, War Finance Committees through out the nation will stress personal solicitation. A survey made follow ing the Sixth War Loan showed that 37 percent of the farmers who were personally solicited bought bonds. we'ners.

Sundav Afternoon May 13, 1945. Germany . Dear Mama, Well today is Sunday - Mother's Day. I do hope you have had a very happy one. At least you know that this part of the war is over. I know I'll be home next year to be with you on M-other's Pav. I went to church in a German Lutherpn Churrh todav. It was truly a wonderful and beautiful church. I enioved the churrh service, very much. Only w'shed it was back home. It seems miorhtv funnv to be walk ing in the streets that I know Hitler has walked in. It also seems funny to be in his own backvard. The people try to be friendly, but the bovs who have fought and lost buddies over here know the kind of people they are so we let them' alone. ;. Guess V-E Day was riuite a cele bration in the States. Everyone over here (the ones who have been on the front) have lost too many friends and buddies to celebrate too much. Again I hope you are well and have had a wonderful Mother's Day. Love Always, SHELTON.
