In a world where men reckon even their friendship^ as something which must yield some financial return, it is good to stress the fact that kind­ ness and sacrifice are recognized and rewarded by God. Abram, after dwelling for a -time in Canaan, had gone down into Egypt because of a famine in his own land. After many trying ex­ periences^ he returned to his prom­ ised land and, there he prospered mightily under the good hand of God, "Unlike many who forget God ,when they, become rich, we find Abram I, Meeting Prosperity With Godli­ ness (w . 1-4). Abram “was very rich." That iwould be almost enough to consti­ tute a spiritual obituary notice for many a man's spiritual life. . But Abram did not let his, riches come, between him and God. He sought out the altar which he had first-built at Bethel, and there he called upon the name of the Lord ones again. ■■■■■' Note then, that riches m them­ selves need not destroy a man’s character or spirituality if they are held as a gift from God, arid for His glory. Meet growing prosperity with increased godliness and all will ljo well II: Meeting Problems With Kind­ ness (w . 5-9). . Abram’s riches, and those of Lot, were largely in flocks and herds- For them there had to be great areas of grazing land, and in the rocky see-' tion where they found themselves, grass was scarce. Result? A fight between the herdsmen. Lot, the younger, should have tak­ en the lead in meeting that situa­ tion, but his selfish heart w a r too small for that. But Abram,- eager for ,peace and brotherly love, indi­ cated a t once his willingness to do anything necessary,,, to . preserve peace! One could not ask a finer indica­ tion of true bigness in a man. “Big . men use their prestige to serve great ideals, Abram used his tremendous advantage to' do a beautifully gen­ erous thing to eliminate strife. Not many men are big enough to follow this course" (W. R. White). Only God can make a man that big, but God can do it for any one of us. If Christian people would lis­ ten to the .words of Abram, “we are brethren" (v. 8), and put them into practice, there would be an immedi- ' ate end to all the foolish strife - which divides God’s people. There is no call for'compromise with untruth, nor any occasion for softhearted generosity which will only spoil its recipients. We are talking about the honest and intelli­ gent use of kindness and tact be* tween brethren. When kindness, meets problems, the problems dis­ appear. Why not try it? ’ Hi. Meeting Selfishness With Love ( w . 10-12). Lot made the typical choice of the wordly-minded man, the one which would.give him the best returns in. dollars and cents. It seemed like a shrewd thing to do, but it resulted In disaster, for it meant pitching his tents over toward the wickedness of Sodom. i Abram had to rescue Lot again and again from the results of his decision; but thus in love he met the arrogant selfishness of his fdol- ish nephew. God rewarded Abram by a renew­ al of His covenant with him (Gen, 13:14-18). God' understands and' values the kind and thoughtful act, even though the world may ignore it or sneer a t it. Lot probably did not intend to go all the way into wicked Sodom to live, but having once started that way, it was easy to go on and on. Even so Christians in our day may not intend to slip off into worldli- ness, but if they continue to pitch their tents toward Sodom, they will find themselves there one sad day. This may be done by seeking wealth Or worldly advantage a t the expense of association with unbeliev­ ers, or by some manipulations or maneuvers which will involve coin- ' promise. I t may come about by reason of indulgence in worldly amusements which dull spiritual perceptions and kill an appetite for the Word of God and prayer, Abram is a - character who “wears" well, We see him meeting one situation after another, and making the right choice. Oh, he was not perfect! His mistakes are noted in Scripture, -and he suffered to t them, too. But because his heart was fundamentally right, and he had a constant desire to do the will of God, he found his way through, slid justified the name which God gave him—“Hie friend of God” (see JameB 2*23; Isa, 41:8), RHEUMATISM???

Operations Against Japs Used to Detect Presence o f *t_ - Enemy and Serue as Messenger§> * By Lee G. Miller WITH 25TH DIVISION, AT BALETE PASS, LUZON.-Jim Head used to hunt with falcons in Saudi Arabia. Now he hunts with war dogs on Luzon. And this time i t ’s not birds he’s hunting ^U\*was chewing the T&g with him here. A German shepherd named Captain lay under the cot on which Head sat. Somebody tossed a cigarette on the floor without putting it out. Head spoke softly! “Captain^ ’ The dog emerged and stood at­ tentively. , _ , “Pu t out the cigarette,” said Head. Captainmiiffed and looked around,: spotted the smoking butt, slapped a paw on it, and the deed was done. Captain has other tricks, bu t Head emp h a s i z e s t h a t this Stuff is extra­ curricular and has nothing to do with the war-dog. busi­ ness. • Head — First Lt. James • S. Head, Lee G. Miller Carlyle, 111. — ft commanding officer of the 26th Infantry Scout Dog Pla­ toon. His outfit came overseas in June of '44 and saw action at Biak, Aitape and Morotai before coming to Luzon, where it has been.work­ ing with the 25th or “Tropic Light* ntog” division around Balete pass. Jim brought 31 dogs to the Pa­ cific. Now there are .only 12. Three have been, killed—two of them by grenadesin the Baletefighting. Jtjost of the other losses havd been due to shellshock. “Dogs are very sensitive „to artil­ lery," Jim said. “Wc usually give a : shellshocked dog. to some outfit further, back, as a mascot." A war dog can detect enemy sol­ diers 'as fa r as 800•yards away if the wind is right, Jim said. The dogs are specialists—some serving as scouts with patrols, some as messengers. They have carried battle messages as fa r as three miles here. They are also used in sentry duty. “We’ve run more than 700 pa­ trols,” Jim said. “Until we came to Luzon we had never had a patrol that was accompanied by a dog fired on unexpectedly. Up here it has been tougher. The wind currents in these mountains are tricky. I ’ve had five men wounded, all in the Balete area.” Some infantry officers have a high regard for the war dogs’ work. Oth­ ers aren’t “believers,” Jim ex­ plained. Most of the dogs were donated to the army quartermaster corps. The dog corps is a quartermaster unit, but those elements sent,to this thea­ ter have been'transferred to the in­ fantry. So Head and his men were entitled to wear the combat infantry >■ badge—and are proud of it. Captain was donated by a resident of Oakland, Calif., who had given ' him that name. This platoon’s dogs are all German shepherds ot crosses‘of that strain except for one Norwegian elkhound. There used to be an Irish setter, but he was killed by a land mine on Morotai, Jim Head is 29. He has a wife and two children. He did petroleum exploration: work in Arabia in 1938- 40 for. the California Arabian Stand­ ard Oil company. That’s where he practiced falconry against the khur- wan and hobara birds of Ibn Saud’s realm. Laavet Way Opart to Ladiea , There I was, up at the tunneled command post, my edmbat boots plastered with wet clay, my poncho dripping, my tin hat carefully in place since we were within range of a Jap mortar. I was feeling, every inch the war correspondent, ■But this seemed far enough to ’go, Tomorrow would be another day. I might as well go on back with Colonel Johnson, And then some people came down the muddy steps to the entrance to the cave. .Officers and men, to say nothing of myself, gaped. For here in this Godforsaken muddy rain­ swept spot were two women! They were Chinese—newspaper women from the Chungking Times of Manila. They were just stopping in with Maj. Charlie Sun, on the way up a few hundred yards for­ ward, where a company of crack Chinese troops from Manila, at­ tached to this division, were bivouacked, . One Whs Miss Josefa Go, 40. The other, a cute, and tiny child whose short boots were inadequate against the thick ihud, was Miss Mei-lan C IRM M BHM O n* METHODIST CHURCH .Rev. H, H. Abels, D, D., Minister Sunday School-10 A.

Ovyyong. I asked how old she was. “What do you guess?” she asked. I guessed 20, and she said, “Some­ thing like that.” Well, losing face fast, the big strong newspaper man* went on down the hill and left it to the ladies to plow forward on foot. Colonel Johnson pointed to the big trees as we walked toward the jeep. “Mahogany,” he said. “Good red mahogany. See where a shell has split that one open? Now that we are getting a road up here some smart Filipino will come in logging and make a fortune.” It was raining harder still as our jeep started, and the slippery mud gave it poor footing. We hadn’t gone a hundred yards before it got stuck. We’ got out and pushed, the wheels throwing mud over us. We started again, but this time the jeep slid halfway off the. road and stopped a t a precarious'tilt. We gave up and walked. ■ . It was downhill, but no fun. Com­ bat boots have little traction after they’re smeared with wet clay. We passed a bulldozer trying to improve the road — mud doesn’t bother those babies. We passed sop­ ping linemen stringing wire. And a lone rifleman taking occasional, shots at something moving at the foot of the hill. ‘ “Probably a chicken,” he said. “But why take a chance?” “The bulldozers are winning the war up here,’’ said'Colonel Johnson. And it’s easy to believe. All over . this area you see new roads carved around the ridges. Without dozers to make roads the supply problem would be appalling. It’s bad enough now. ‘Major* Kept Jape on Run One of the most interesting sol­ diers in this veteran division is Staffs Sergeant—beg pardon, I mean Lt. Col. Jay D. Vanderpool, also known (to Japs) as Maj. Gen, Vanderfuru, He is short and wiry—there’s no suet in his 140 pounds. He used to. box and play'football, and although his job here is primarily a desk job he gets plenty of exercise plow­ ing around the front lines, Van is Regular Army. His par­ ents are dead and he is unmar­ ried. . He enlisted in 1936 at 19 and was assigned to the Field Artillery. It took him three years to make pfe and his permanent rank is still only staff sergeant. Van was commis-" sioned a second lieutenant eight months before Pearl Harbor. He was there on that fateful day. The 25th division lost a score of men to Jap strafing. The following October the division left for Guadalcanal, and Van began to show his stuff, ■In October of '44 he embarked from New Guinea in a submarine with 3 officers, 10 men, and 20 tons of radio equipment, ammunition, * et cetera. He landed on Luzon No­ vember 2 and proceeded to organize the bickering and feuding guerrillas of Cavite, Batangas and western La­ guna provinces. He moved,around boldly in full army uniform, establishing coast watcher stations and a courier net­ work—and discouraging the guerril­ la practice of killing couriers for their guns. He helped crashed avi­ ators escape. He personally sneaked into Nicholas airdrome at Maniia to estimate the Nips’ strength there. After the Lingayen invasion his guerrillas knocked out communica­ tions and blocked highways. In Feb-, ruary he commanded 10 guerrilla rifle companies which shared with paratroopers and .amphibious troops the spectacularly successful libera­ tion of internees at Los Banos. Dur­ ing those guerrilla, operations the Japs captured a letter signed "Van­ derpool Major General Staff Corps,” Apparently the Japs didn’t know what the General Staff Corps was. They decided this meddler was a blgshot, and hunted hard but vainly for “Major General Vanderfuru” which was as close as Nips could come to pronbuheing the name. Van has just received the Legion of Merit for those operations. THE CHURCH OF THE NAZARKNR Pastor, Raymond Strickland. Sunday Services Sunday School 10:00 to 11:00 A. VL Preaching 11:00 A.
