Devotion For The Week
(by Mrs. W. C. Fancher)
Daniel (i:20
And when he (king) came to
the den, he cried with a lamen-
table voice unto Daniel: and
the king, spake and said to
Daniel, 0 Daniel, servant of the
living God, is thy God, whom
thou servest continually, able to
deliver thee from the lions?
Daniel A Brave Man
Of all Biblical characters of
the old Testament, Daniel
stands as one of the bravest
We remember, as a youth, he
had courage to refuse the wines
and rich food of the palace, so
that he would not defile his
body.
lie ask the simple food that
he was used to and it took a
brave heart to refuse the King’s
food. Later when he was made
ruler, next to the King, a law
was passed by his enemies that
those who did not worship
King Darius would be
thrown in the lions den, but
that evening, as usual, Daniel
prayed to God. He had faith to
die for his religion if it was nec-
essary.
Tlie King in his conceit had
forgotten about Daniel and his
God when he passed this law
and everyone had to worship
him.
So when Daniel was thrown
in the den of lions the king
could not-sleep that night for
he had learned to love Daniel,
and he was up early and went
to the door of the den and when
he found Daniel alive he gave
the order that the whole king-
dom should worship Daniel’s
God. So we see what bravery
and faith can do, for Daniel’s
bravery brought a whole nation
to the worship of God.
PRAYER
Father in Heaven we thank
Thee for Thy word that we
might read of these Biblical
character, and the faith they
had, and may we with all our
freedom to worship Thee read
more and be inspired by their
lives to live closer to Thee.
We thank Thee for this vic-
tory over Japan and may those i
of us who have prayed so earn-
estly, not forget Thy power I
and love and continue to pray i
and carry on Thy work.
May those that have lost lov-
ed ones in this terrible war, or
seen their afflcetions have the
faith of Job and know Thou art
the same God that Job worship-
ed. In Christ name we ask.
Amen, j
Thought Of The Day
Do we staild up for what we

THIS BUSINESS OF LIVING
(By Susan Thayer)
MIRACLE
A friend of mine has had a
glimpse of the wonders of avia-
tion. Oh, she knew that air-
planes can circle the globe in
a few hours. Only il left her
cold because so many things
are wonderful now.
But this summer u local
plane service started that eould
take her to her summer home
in an hour. Any other way it’s
all day. Suddenly she sat up
and explaimed, “Why, isn’t it
just a miracle!”
Now she is actually saying
reflectively, “It would almost
be art economy to own one.”
1 suppose that’s the way au-
tomobiles hit people too. First
they were something novel
that you read ubout and some-
times saw. Then suddenly—
hang I—you wanted one.
And see what the auto indus-
try has done for this country.

prosperity—and pleasure for
millions,
Tt looks as if history may re-
peat itself in the aviation field.

Yes, an electric clock is a marvelous median’
ism Imt really the time il keeps can he no better
than the perfection of the electric service that
makes its hands go ’round.
lAeclric clocks run by Gulf States service keep
gain/ time because Gulf States furnishes good serv-
ire. Our ilower plant generators tick off the time
dependably.
GULF STATES UTILITIES CO.
YOU TAKE IT FROM HERE, BILE
Bill is just a name that stands for the 1,129 employees of the United Companies who are
serving in the nation’s armed forces. And scenes like the one above are being enacted in our
plants and offices, fi’om North Texas to the border. They will go on being enacted,
until the last employee has returned....
Innocently, these home-coming ex-service men and women are putting the test to American
industry. It is a test that will show whether our free enterprise system can provide the
returnees with jobs . ..not jobs made by releasing other employees who have carried on
on the home front, but additional jobs!
We believe that American industry will pass that test. We know that we will!
