God Spared Atlanta
Without a doubt, God spared At-
lanta from much death and de-
struction last Sunday afternoon.
The terrific storm that swept in
from the south with such cyclone
velocity could easily have destroy-
ed much of |Our city and have taken
many lives within a very few min-
utes. It could have and would have
had it not been for the mercy and
love of God, and the prayers of
righteous people. All of us must
admit that some power greater
than that of man stepped in and
broke up the twister and caused it!
to pass over, causing paily slight I
damage and without the loss of |
life. Why not believe that this was
the hand of God? Why not give
Him credit for sparing our town
and protecting our lives? Why not
offer our humble thanks to Him
that we are priviledged to go about
our regular routine of work, en-
joying the blessedness of having
our homes almost untouched and
our children and loved ones un-
scratched and unharmed? Why not
accept this as an act and provid-
ence of God, and also as a definite
warning from God that people
ought to repent and turn back to
God, back to the church and back
to holy, righteous living?
Why don't you start this Sunday
morning to church and Sunday
school No, no, don't make those
flimsy excuses! The average ex-
cuse is, "The skin pf a reason,
stuffed with lies." Excuse and ali-
bis won't stand the test of man,
much less the test of God. Come
on to the services this Sunday and
bring the children. Do what you
know you ought to do. If I were
a church member, or not a church
member, and could but would not
attend Sunday school and church,
I would hang my head .in shame.
If you are in this class, your lazi-
ness, indifference and unconcern
is weakening the church; undermin
ing your home; prolonging the
war; grieving the Holy Spirit; dis-
pleasing God; crucifying the Son
of God a fresh; and perhaps bring
ing spiritual suicide t,0' those in
your own home. I pray you will
arise and "come back to Bethel."
With an humble and sincere pray-
er for you and your home.

Rabbits In
Scrimmage Game
Last Thursday night, March 22
the Atlanta Rabbits held one of
their finest intra-squad games of
the spring training. The squad was
divided into two well-balanced
teams: Kennamer and Johnson
leading one team, the other being
led by McDaniel and Thompson.
The first half was scoreless for
either side, with the lines of both
teams doing a bang-up job.
On the kick off starting the sec-
ond half Kennamer broke loose for
a touchdown. The try for extra
point failed.
In the fourth quarter, Draper
went around right end for his
team's second touchdown. Again
the extra point failed.
This was all pf the scoring, but
the end of the game saw McDan-
iel's team threatening. Time ran
short, however, and the game end-
ed 12-0.
Starting line-up:
Thompson (capt.) RE H. Jackson
Dean RT Whatley
Hall RG Hefner
King C Walker
Sparkman LG Bradford
Willis LT Johnson (capt.)
Holland LE Brown
McDaniel (Capt.) QB Smith
Fitts LH Draper
F. Jackson RH Kennamer (Capt.)

POEM FROM ALVIN GREEN
The following poem was sent to
Mrs. Emma Green by her son Pvt.
Alvin Green who is some where in
Germany.
To a Poor Civilian
What do you know of war.
Have you heard the 88-s
Come screaming through the air
With their song of death and
hate
Have you ducked when Mumies
scream
Have you heard the singing
laughter of the rifle's deadly
stream.

Soldiers of the
PULPW00D ARMY
they're vital to Victory!
The men who wield their axes and saws in
the Army of the Woods are playing a vital
part in winning the war. In fact, many of
them have been specifically draft deferred
because their boards felt they could render
a more valuable service cutting pulpwood
than in the front line. Great credit is also due
to the foresters and county agents and others
who have supplied the technical information
and helped organize the work.
A Great Responsibility
Pulpwood is a vital material with countless
war uses. The shortage of pulpwood is so
6erious that it is now on the war production
urgency list
Men whose war job is pulpwood produc-
tion are keenly aware of the importance of
their assignment and the necessity of getting
out every possible c«r&
