RETURNED SOLDIERS.
Two soldiers came back to Fort Worth last week.
One was Corp. dames E. Xewmun, pitifully wasted bv
thn-e years in a .Japanese prison camp, driven up for dead
all the way across the Pacific hut fighting a spiritual bat-
tle for life which has caught the imagination of the coun-
try. The other was Ft. Eli E. Wliiteley, who has been re-
commended for the Congressional Medal of Honor, t lie
highest award possible to an American fighting man, for
bis single-handed capture of 2rt German soldiers and
death of seve n in bitter fighting.
Both have come hack heroes in the Texas tradition.
Both have* one mighty thing in common— tremendous
humility. Xo bitterness em th<* part of one, no arrogance*
on the* part of the; other.
Wliiteley was almost embarassed at the size of the
honor recommended for him. Friendly, quiet, soft-spoken,
his lirst thought “was of the* men I fought with”— “and
then you wonder if you re-ally deserve it.” His right eye
was hadlv cut by sniper fire, but he barely mentioned
that. He Intel stood very close to death.
( orporal Newman also has traveled eleep into the
\ alley. An almost supernatural strength of will may be
pulling him through. It is an induction of his character
inat, in a clean white* bed in his mother’s home, lie is puz-
zled that “so many people would care."" He**lias received
hunelreds of le*tte*i>. countless offers of aid ami gifts. The
things he linds good — the presence of friends, chilelren’s
voices, the s.mple* fact that Hod let him return —should
prompt us all to examine our own lives.
Two soldiers came back last week. Goth of them had
what it takes.—Fort Worth Star Telegram.

GOD'S PURPOSE FOR ABRAHAM
LKSSON TEX? OtriMU 1* I-*.
GOLDEN TEXT -In Uj** kftJill all
- „l tli« faith L* Mw-td.—Gen*-
■til 12 .V
Separation, which mean* release
from the influence of those things
which hinder full development, is a
hlcMirig even though it may be dif-
ficult. God had a great purpose in
mind for Abram, but to accomplish
it lie had to get him out of his own
cmintry, away from the downward
pull of heathendom, and out into a
new adventure of faith with Him.
Down in the midst of those who
worshiped the heavenly bodi‘" is
a man who had found that uere
was no satisfaction for his soul in
such worship. He had found the
true God, and was ready to re-
spond to His call. We find Abram
I. Hearing God’s Call •'vv. 1-3).
Men win, have been used to ac-
complishing great and good things
In the world have, like Abruhlrrn,
been willing to step out into the
dark. They have not foreseen great-
ness nor even striven for it, but huve
gone out at God's call, obeying Him
day by day, and He has been re-
sponsible for tho outworking of their
destiny. ' - "' ■
How important it is to have the
listening car, and the obedient
heart. He was attentive to God’s
word, and willing to lake Him at
His word.
Abram was strongly attached to
his homeland. He was a man of such
strength of character and obvious
ability, that he undoubtedly held a
place of real importance in his own
country. To leave that and go out
to an unknown destination (Ileb.
11:8) called for real faith—and
Abram had it!
God had a purpose in calling him
out—tire establishment of a great na-
tion. Through Abram all the nations
of the earth were to be blessed. That
stupendous eventuality hung In the
balance until he decided to obey
God, and we are glad he did.
When God takes anything from us,
we can be sure that He is planning
a greater blessing to take its place.
Material loss often brings spiritual
blessing. Separation from family
may give a broader relationship to
others. Sacrifice for the Lord’s serv-
ice brings hundredfold returns
(Matt. 19:29).
II. Responding to God’s Command
(vv. 4-6).
As the Lord spoke, so Abram de-
parted. He was to be the channel
of God’s blessing, and he put him-
self in God’s hand for His use. The
lives of each of us may, in our own
way, be the channels of God’s bless-
ings to those round about us; but
only if we, like Abram, respond to
His call.
The migration of Abram from
Chaldea to Canaan is one of the most
important events in all history It
was one of the grand turning points
in the story of the human race.
The fact that Abram took with him
his entire family into the prom-
ised land, reminds us that we are
not to go alone into the Lord's heav-
enly kingdom. We are to take our
families with us.
Note also that Abram brought his
substance, his riches, with him.
That tells us anew that when a man
comes into the household of God
through Jesus Christ, he is to bring
his purse with him. Consecrate
your substance as well as yourself
and your service to God
The journey of Abram ended (v.
6) in what is said to be the most
beautiful spot in ad of Palestine—
but even here difficulty faced him,
for "the Canaanite was then in the
land ”
Even so, the Christian life is not
one of ease and idleness, but of
heroic endeavor and victory. The
Promised Land is a type, not of
heaven, but of the Christian's life
and experience. We, too, find the
Canaanite in the lana. Ther1! is a
constant struggle with the world,
the flesh and the devil; but there is
victory in Christ
III. Receiving God's Blessing (w.
7 S
God kept His promise to Abram.
True he did no. see the entire ful-
fillment of it, but is that necessary
to the man of faith? God says it,
we believe it: it becomes our pres-
ent possession by faith, though the
eHjoymer.t jf it may be yet to come.
Note that wherever Abram pitched
his tent he built an altar. He was
not too hurried or busy* to remem-
ber God. We, too, are pilgrims and
strangers in this world. Let us not
fail to raise an altar to God. Wher-
ever we may be, let us leave a tes-
timony for Him.
For such a man, God could well
have a tvgh purpose. He was among
that noble company who In all agea
have “simply obeyed each day the
divine orders which were given
them, took each day the way of
prayer, of righteousness, of duty;
content if they had light enough for
that and the next step, leaving to
a higher will all that should eorna
after. And God charged Himself
with their destiny" (J. G. Green-
hough).

for repayment .... 32.192 pat-
ents were issued last year, which
is the lowest figure for any year
since 1906 .... Fourteen mem-
bers of the Women’s Army Corps
have received Purple Hearts for
wounds suffered from enemy at
tack .... As a result of an ur-
gent request from the railroads
to avert a breakdown and keep
the mounting load of troops and
supplies rolling to the Pacific,
furloughs for 4,000 soldiers ex-
perienced in railroad work for
30 days have been authorised . . .
Production quota limitations on
farm machinery and equipment
and related parts have been re-
moved by WPB .... The supply
of rayon fabrics for civilian use
is expected to increase soon.
THE WAR FRONT
Airpower that smashed Ger-
many and reduced millions of
ground troops to impotence by
destruction of their transport
and supply will be at least doub-
led against Japan. An island em-
pire trying to exist without a
Navy or airpower is a suicidal
conception .... The most suc-
cessful of the incendiaries used
against Japan is the “goop”
bomb the gasoline jelly flame
spreader . . . .Major General
Kopnor, who will take over com-
mand of the Eighth Air Force
in the Pacific, said that if Hiro
hito could see what Germany
looks like as a result of Ameri-
can air attacks, he would stop
the war now . . . .The possibility
of Russian entry into the war
against Japan acts to pin down in
Northern Manchuria large num-
bers of Jap troops, who might
otherwise be diverted against Al-
lied forces .... The Jap Am-
bassador to Berlin and his staff
are being flown to the United
States and their quick exchange
will enable them to give their
home Government a vivid pic-
ture of the shambles Germany
became and of the power of the
Allied armies. They may advise
more direct peace tenders.
UNITED STATES SERVICE
DISCHARGE PIN
Thousands of young men and
women, who left their homes and
their jobs to join the armed for-
ces, are now wearing a lapel but-
ton known as the United States
Service Discharge Pin. They have
been honorably discharged from
the service for various reasons.
The button depicts an American
eagle’s spread wings inside a
circle. Everyone should become
thoroughly familiar with the but-
ton, because it as a badge of
honor. The wearers of the em-
blem were ready and willing to
give their all, if necessary, for
the preservation of their country.
Let us hope that it will not be
long before there will be millions
of these buttons in sight wher-
ever we go and wherever we

zone of occupied Germany These
properties played a great part
in building up and maintaining

The sudden acting was aimed
at smashing Farbenindustrie’s

2 EXTRA YEARS
Surveys show that the average farm tractor will
last two extra years if it is operated carefully and
lubricated properly. Moreover, ir will do more
work with fewer breakdowns.
To help you get those extra years of good work
from your tractor, use Sinclair Pennsylvania or
Opaline Motor Oil to save wear on the motor.
These famous oils lubricate better and last longer
because they are expertly refined from oldest, mel-
lowest crudes, then de-waxed and de-jellied by an
extra refilling process. Phone or write us today.
