A SYMBOL OF SAFETY
When the ship is in danger, we can depend on the life boats to take us over
the seas to safety. It is comforting to glance at the life-boat when the seas
are r° u gh-
Our Armed Services are a symbol of safety when our country is in trouble. ;
when war threatens to raise its ugly head. In the past, when war has come. g
our servicemen have not hesitated to give their lives to protect and defend us.
There is a special Day each year when we remember and honor our service- XXj?
men who have died in the defense of our blessed country. Let us not forget, as /. J
individuals, to honor these dead and give thanks to God for those who protect
us even now. Remember them as you attend church this week. g

The Church it God t appointed agency in this world for spreading the knowledge of His love
for man and of His demand for mon to respond to that love by loving his neighbor. Without
this grounding in the love of God, no government or society or way of life will long
persevere and the freedoms which we hold so dear will inevitably perish. Therefore, even :
from a selfish point of view, one should support the Church for the sake of the welfare
of himself ond his family. Beyond that, however, every person should uphold and par
ticipote in the Church because it tells the truth about man’s life, death and destiny; the
truth which alone will set him free to live as a child of God. 115 S
