PEACE IN THK WORLD I
FORMER BAPTIST
PASTOR CITED FOR
CHAPLAIN’S WORK
"Baptist Chaplain Lieut. Robert P.
Taylor of Texas gave the most recent
superb example of the /’Army) chap-
lains’ courage when, during an attack
and under machine gun and rifle fire,
he helped carry the wounded to the
Bataan jungles.”
Thus in one brief paragraph in the
Religion section of last week’s Time
magazine. Carrollton friends of Robert
Preston Taylor, a former pastor of the
First Baptist church, learn of his where-
abouts and his action and service to
Hie nation’s armed forces. This is the
most recent report which has been
obtained in Carrollton about the former
local minister.
A portion of the article which appear-
ed in last week’s “Time Magazine” fol-
lows:
(From Melville Jacoby. Time’s cor-
resuondent in beleagured Bataan, comes
the first report on how American soldiers
in World War II are reacting to religion,
under fire, and what the chaplains are
doing at the front:
“More than one soldier, hearing bombs
landing nearby and not hurting hm, or
having a bullet nich in his helmet, ad-
mitted that he never believed in God
before. Chaplains and others all agree
that many more soldiers believe in God
since the war has begun. The sight of
• soldier sitting by a machine gun read-
ing a Bble is not uncommon in Bataan
or corregidor. Soldiers and sailors pen
brief notes to the chaplains asking for
New Testaments, and several chaplains
have passed out over 2,000 copies since
Dec. 7.
“This week, Methodist Chaplain Ralph
D. Brown, recently awarded the Dis-
tinguished Service Cross for bravery in
carrying the wounded off Clark Field
during continual bombings, penciled tho
following words to Chaplain Perry L.
Wilcox on a crumpled sheet of his
field notebook: ‘Dear Chaplain—I will
sincerely appreciate the case of New
Testaments I spoke to you about when
we met in Bataan. I have hundreds of
boys begging for them each week. I am
now enroute to the -corps who
have suffered heavy casualties this
week. They need Scriptures badly—
any you don’t need will find service
here.’
“American and Filipino chaplains, both
Protestant and Catholic, are working
among the troops night and day, staying
at the firing lines and not just visiting
them. Of nearly 30 American Chap-
lains, every one has been near falling
bombs or whizzing bullets or found
what it means when the enemy has con-
tinual air superiority. Many is the Chap_
lain, dodging dive-bombers, who has
gotten up waving his fist at the un-
opposed Nip flyers. Chaplains are doing
everything from holding services in the
jungles right behind the lines to help-
ing men make out wills, insurance and
writing letters, from hearing confessions
and giving out Bibles to carrying dead
and wounded under fire. Baptist Chap-
lain Lieut Robert P. Taylor of Texa4
gave the most recent superb example
of the chaplaW courage when, during
an attack and under madilne-gun and
rifle fire, he helped carry the wounded
to the Bataan jungles.
“Mild-mannered Presbyterian U. S. A.
Chaplain Major John K. Bomeman, who
served in World War I as an ace flyer,
chats about a chaplain’s typical exper-
iences. Bomeman, from Niagara Falls,
carries cigarets, Bibles and toothbrushe
to the front and says the men ask for
all sorts of things from him, including
writing their letters home and confessing
about the past. On Christmas Day,
Bomeman, as all other chaplains, carr-
ied as many as 1,200 greetings and cable-
grams from the troops at the front
to Manila, having to brave bombings and
sfrafings en route.
“Chaplains, though shorthanded, are
doing tremendous service conducting
Christian burial services for every cas-
ualty. When they don’t know the de_
nomination of the dead, they conduct
both Protestant and Catholc services—
“Heading the Protestant chaplains is a
six-footer, light haired, blue eyed Lieut.
Coloned Alfred C. Oliver Jr. from New
Jersey, in the Service since 1917. En-
ergetic and hard-working, Oliver’s driver,
approaching a bridge, suddenly swerved
off the road. A few seconds later, the
bridge was blown up......”
And the report goes on, but because of
lack of space, The Chronicle is not re-
printing the balance.

AFTER...
The above before and after pictures
represent one phase of work the U. S.
Gypsum Conipany is endeavoring to
encourage on farms in America.
Establishment of one of the largest
eperimental farm laboratories has been
announced by the company, and a total
of 17,351 acres is to be included in the
laboratory, with 99 farms of various
types.
The announcement comes at a time
when the government is calling on far-
mers to increase production and keep
up farm repairs.And farming must be
done more efficiently to produce the
increase in food supply so vital toward
winning the war. Test projects will be
run on these typical farms to show how
production can be increased. These tests
will show the advantages of various
types of buildings and building im-
provements, fire protection, soil con-
servation home decoration, diversifi-
catio of crops, breeding and marketing,
j This information will be passed on to
j the farmers of the country to help make
' their farming more profitable, product-
. ive and more livable.
' The farms are being run by owners
and tenants who are continuing the'.r
normal, everyday farming operations.
The Doan Agricultural Service is being
retained as counsel.
The findings of this research program
will be made widely available through
publications, literature and building
i material dealers handling USG products.
| To stimulate the farmers’ interest in
the program, there will be national
blooded livestock contests, scholarships,
free building plans, special building and
redecorating education for 4-H boys
and girls and other features.

THE PARABLES BY THE SEA
LESSON TEXT—Mark V:»-S2: Mltihcw
13:44-30
GOLDEN TEXT—Never man spake Uke i
this man.—John 7:46.
Parables as a means of conveying!
truth reached perfection in the;
hands of the Master Teacher, Jesus. (
Taking short stories of well,known'
events or facts from daily life, He
presented profound truth in the
most simple and attractive form.
Except for the parable of the1
four kinds of seed which He inter-
preted (Matt. 13:18-23), He left it to';
His listeners to make their own ap-;
plication. This has led to some dif-
ference of opinion, but in general
the parables are received as excel-
lent and helpful portions of God’s
Word.
In the two passages of Scripture'
assigned for our lesson, we have five.
parables, each with a distinctive!
message, yet together pointing out
that there is a time of growth lead-'
ing to harvest and judgment, and
that our gracious God has at great
cost provided a way of redemption.
I. Normal Growth Is Blessed;
(Mark 4:26-29).
God is patient. He awaits the
normal, healthy, steady growth of'
the seed. Man is so impatient he,
must have forced growth, artificial
stimulation, and even artificial rip-|
ening of the fruit.
The same attitude enters into his
care of his children. They must get1
ahead in school beyond their years.'
They must get out and make a liv-'
ing long years before they have
learned to make a life. Why not let'
them mature in the orderly, God-
given way?
The same is true in the work of
the church. There must be tame-!
diate “tangible" results or he will
not give his support. Anyone with
judgment knows that spiritual life
takes time to develop, and that!
spiritual results cannot be judged
by physical or tangible standards.
Seedtime, growing time, normal
ripening, then harvest — that is
God’s order and it is a good one.
II. Abnormal Growth Is Danger-
ous (Mark 4:30-32).
Normally the mustard tree is a
small plant, and when it grew into a
great tree something abnormal had.
taken place. Birds (which always
denote something unclean in Scrip-'
ture) came to lodge in its branches. I
Just so, Christianity was never in-
tended to be made up of a nominally
Christian world empire in which un-
godly men (the dark birds of the
evil one. Matt. 13:19) should find
comfortable lodgment. Unfortunate-
ly, that is just what happened to
Christianity in the so-called conquest
of the Roman empire at the time of
Constantine. The results were din*
estrous. The seme principle is evi-
dent today in the oontrol of much
of the church by worldly men.
m. Redemption Is Costly (Matt.
11:4446).
While it Is true that our redemp-
tion is worth more than anything
else in all the world and that the
Christian would gladly set aside (or
would'he?) everything for Christ’s
sake, y«t that doe> not fulfill the
thought of this parable. After all,
what has a tinner (whose own right-
eousness is described in Scripture:
aa "filthy rags") to sell in order to,
obtain redemption? And is it for
sale? (See Eph. 2:8.)
Obviously we here have the- Sa-
viour with His all-seeing eye and
loving.heart noting in fallen human-
ity the pearl of great price, His own
Church. He then gives up all the
glory He had with the Father,
cornea to the earth, and even be-
comes sin for us that He may bring
us to God.
Salvation in Christ is no little
thing, not something which was pur-
chased with gold or stiver, but
with the precious blood of Christ
We ought to value it highly, and
because We are bought with a price
we ought always to glorify God <1
Cor. 6:28).
IV. Judgment Is Certain (Matt.'
13:47-50).
All kinds of fish were in the net,!
and until the cord was drawn an<t|
the net emptied they looked much!
alike and enjoyed much the same!
standing as "citizens" of the sea.
But when they faced the fisherman
there was a quick division, and a!
final judgment upon the bad ones.
It is true that in God's kingdom1
(as it is now manifested in “mys-
tery" in tiie Church) there are
many who have come in by false'
profession, through carelessness of:
pastors or church officials, etc. They
go through the motions, they look
and act much like Christians (al-
though even here they create ques-
tions in the minds of true followers !
of Christ). The day is coming.how-
ever, when they shall stahd In judg-
ment before the Christ' whom “they
profess to love and follow. How ter-
rible shall be their doom I
They need not wait in feat’ for
that day. 1 They may now, today,
make right their relationship with
God.
