Tho thought was out also that the churches of the community be kept open and warm on that day so that private devotions might be observed.

Christensen, president of tho association, quoted the following lines ns particularly appropriate to inaugurating 1944 spiritually: "God of our fathers, known of old, Liord of our far-flung battle line, Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine, Lord God of Hosts be with us yet, lest we forget, lest we forget! drunk with sight of power wo loose Wild tongues that, hold not Thee in awe. Such boastings as the Gentiles use Or lesser breeds without the. law, Lord of Hosts be with us yet, lest we forget, lest we forget!
