days with Bonnie Bierschwale.
We pitched our pup tents in a
small draw fairly high in the
mountains from where we could
see a Jap road block across the
valley. Then the Air Corps sent
a squadron of P-38’s to drop
’ Cire bombs and straf the road
jlock and Japs behind it. This
was quite a sight to watch. The
second day, however, tragedy
struck. One. of the Lockheed
lightnings, having just made a
strafing drive, pulled out and
then suddenly nosed straight
down and crashed. Nothing
was found of the body and the
plane was scattered over an
area of several hundred yards
One of the interesting things
we ran across on this out-put,
was a tribe of Igorotes who
hadn’t seen a white man for five
years. They are known as Spear-
men. (Frankly, they are my
version of headhunters.) They
are armed with very sharp
spears and are very good at dis-
posing of the Niponese. One
day they brought us several
rusted-shut Jap rifles and asked
us to oil them up so they could
kill more Japs.
The Spearmen’s main purpose
in extinguishing our enemy
seems to be so they can harvest
their rice crop. It must have
taken centuries for them to fix
these little rice patches along
the hillsides. Each little patch
is lined with rocks to keep the
earth from washing away. They
make up one of the most beauti-
ful scenes a person will ever
see.
It’s surprising to hear so many
of these primitive people speak-
ing understandable English—
perhaps better than the average
Filipino. Their dress consists
of a small piece of cloth, wrap-
ped around them in diaper fa-
shion—appearing to us to be
very uncomfortable. They Wear
no shoes. Some of the women
don a sort of blouse, others do
without.
After two days of eating
nothing but “C” rations on the
outpost, we trudged to the bat-
talion area for a “hot meal”. The
next morning after breakfast of
fresh eggs, fried the way you
like them, we took off again,
wading through streams and
tramping uphill in rain and mud.
When we finally set up for the
night again, we were brought a
hot meal and MAIL. There’s
nothing that’ll help a G. I. more
after sleepless nights on the
ground and the rest of this Luzon
nightmare, than those swell let-
ters from home. Any news-
papers that are received are
read by everyone. For instance,
our own Radio Post is read by
boys from many states and really
enjoyed.
If anyone ever tells you these
Nips are “softies”, don’t believe
him. While on our outpost the
Igorotes brought us a Jap they

BY UI.tU.RCIO
The reading of the Bible is re-
quired in the public schools of
eleven states, prohibited in three,
and permitted but not required
in the other thirty-four, accord-
ing to a recent survey made by
the American Bible Society.
“Back in the days of the thir-
teen original colonies,” comments
the Society, “wherever there was
a church there was a school.
And everywhere the chief text-
book of the schools was the I United Nations Conference in
after World War I. Doubtless
their elders will again misunder-
stand them, fear them, seek to
repress them or to manipulate
and use them. Yet still they are
‘the spring of the year’ for the
race, ‘the motive power of the
world.”

eration, and recently adviser to

were horrible to look at with

that the public school systems
of our land originated as Bible
schools.”
The Nazi occupation of Hol-
land resulted in the destruction
of sixty Protestant churches, the
serious damaging of forty others,
damage or destruction of seven-
ty parsonages, the evacuation of
sixty entire congregations, the
inundation of thirty parishes by
the cutting of dykes, and the
death of twelve Protestant min-
isters (nine of them fathers of
young children), according to a
report received from the Nether-
lands by the World Council of
Churches in Geneva, Switzerland,
and New York City. Damage to
church property is assessed at
eighteen million florins, or about
$6,840,000.

“We need to remember the un-

youth, of which we have had
many illustrations even in the
midst of war,” says Bishop J.
C. Baker, of Los Angeles. “Young
people will be again manifesting
their sensitiveness to human
situations, their power to imagi;
nation, their faith in causes of
their own choosing, their dyna-
mic courage and daring, their
strong hopefulness and buoy-
ancy. They will get together
again just as they did in youth

church can supply the spiritual
foundation upon which interna-
tional security organization can
be built.”

Dr. George E. Sutherland,
treasurer of the Board of Mis-
sions and Church Extension of
the Methodist Church, recently
received a check of $1,325 from
Chaplain Ernest N. Haugse, the
chaplain of the 73rd Bombard-
ment Wing (APO 237), serving
somewhere in the South Pacific
area. The gift is for the mis-
sionary work overseas — work
which the men of the command
are seeing for themselves in the
South Pacific. “It is a token of
the faith that the men of our
Wing have in the future of the
church, and also a tribute to the
work that your missionaries have
done in the past,” says Chaplain
the Haugse. “Please accept this
gift to your missions with the
sincere prayers and best wishes
of the Protestant men of the
73rd Wing. They have been giv-
ing a monthly offering to vari-
ous church and church - related
bodies. Beginning this month
the men are donating to the mis-
sion boards of the various Pro-
testant churches.”

It’s a job trying to keep clean

Deploring the lawlessness, dis-
integration of family life, and
moral collapse evident today
throughout America, Dr. Chann-

thodist Board of Missions, says:
‘Tn^/general jthis moral break-

areas where missionary needs
are the greatest—both in urban

Put Off Thy Shoes . . .
It would be quite a shock to
turn a corner some day and
meet God. Some men have done
just that—have come face to face
with Almighty God in the or-
dinary routine of a working day.
Take Moses. He was watching
his father-in-law’s sheep on Mt.
Horeb when God called to him
from the center of a burning
bush.
“Draw not nigh hither,” the
Voice said, “put off thy shoes
from off they feet, for the place
whereon thou standest is

ground” (King
Exodus 3:5).
Then there was St. Peter, who
took a stranger into his boat
only to learn, through a miracle,
that he was entertaining God.
“When Simon Peter saw it, he
fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying,
Depart from me; for I am a sin-
ful man, O Lord” (King James
Version, Luke 5:8).
How do you suppose you would
have acted in such a situation?
We Catholics are faced with
that problem every time we en-
ter one of our churches.
Rev. Allen was informed this
week that an outstanding Evan-
gelist will be here on Monday
night to take over the services
for the remainder of the meet-
ing which is scheduled to begin
Aug. 19 and end Sunday Aug. 26.
