NOTICE Call For Bridge Bids Jury Reports today Reach for This Source of Comfort Tonight . . . when you read and re-read his letters till you know every word in them; tonight . . . when he seems far away, turn for comfort and for courage to the Bible. Perhaps the Book Is an old friend; or perhaps the years have made it and you strangers. It doesn't matter the steadying, Eternal light of its message is there for you, ready to bring you the came confidence that it is bringing to millions tonight ail over the world. The amazing thing about Bible reading is that your reward will increase as the habit grows. Within its two covers it treats of every problem that the spirit of man has ever met or will ever meet. For countless generations, men and women have opened the Bible and have sought and found restoration of the spirit, whether torn with anxiety and loneliness, oppressed by doubt, crushed with futility or stunned by bereavement. The Bible is as old as Truth; as new as the latest newspaper. The patriots hiding in the hills of France, like our own soldiers of '76 at Valley Forge, may have doubted but they turned to Psalm 37 and were com forted," and already the promise of the Psalm has come to passl Many a timid boy in a foxhole tonight is reading Isaiah 41:10 and tomorrow his courage will flame anew. Or perhaps, like Stonewall Jackson, he repeats the words of . Deuteronomy 20:3-4 as he advances into battle. And so. tonight, open your Bible. Join with the millions of your fellow Americans at home and overseas in asking Divine help in the problems that face our country and all humanity in these crucial days. From now until Christmas our President has asked that all Americans join in Bible reading For your own comfort get acquainted with the habit that has helped countless men and women to live better lives.
