Knew Who Wqs Boss

Every so often the following famous story goes the rounds of the press.

A reporter for one of the Hearst papers was sent to report a religious meeting conducted by a new and sensational evangelist. He was seated in the front row with his notebook and pencil in hand, when the evangelist, who was a woman, pointed straight at him and asked:

"Sir, don't you want to come to Jesus tonight?', "Madam," replied the reporter, ,,I am just here on business, reporting your meeting for my paper.', "Brother'," declared the evangelist, ,.there is no business half as important as God's !"

"Maybe not," reolied the reporter, .,but I'd hate to try and tell that to William Randolph Hearst."

Turn About

"Why don't you read to me, while f sew?" said the wife to her husband who was buried in the evening paper. "f have a hetter idea," replied the surly husband. ,,Why don't you sew to me, while f read?"

Blessed Are Good Friends

Young William James, who later won world fame as a psychologist, held a most devoted friendship for Oliver Wendell Ffclmes, Jr., and wrote him wonderful letters. One he wrote to Ffolmes, said in part:

"I should like to have you opposite me in any mood, whether the facetiously excursive, the metaphysically d.iscursive, the personally confidential, or the jadedly cursive and argumentative- so that the oyster shells which enclcse my being might slowly turn open on their rigid hinges under the radiation, and the critter within loll out his dried-up gills into the circumfused ichor of life, till they grow so fat as not to know themselves again."

If you don't think that's talking big time English, Brother, just read it over again. James wrote another time to Holmes in this fashion: "You are the one emergent peak to which I cling when all the rest of the world has sunk beneath the wave."

Why I Love You

"I love you, not only for what you are but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what 14ou have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. f love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me, and for laying firm hold of the possib.ilities of the good in me. f love you because you have done more than any creed r,r'ould have done, to make me happy. you have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign. You have done it just by being yourself, and perhaps after all that is what being a friend means."-F'-lizabeth Ferguson von Hesse.

Reveille In Hecrven

(Written by Corporal Dana A. Schnittkind, who was with Patton's Third Army.)

All the heroes of the nation will be gathered for the sight, When the Author of Creation sunders daylight from the night. When the final bugle summons they will gather from afar; He will read out their promotions, pin on each a morntng star. And the whirling of the planets will be music of the band When the Universe Commander takes the great reviewing stand.

Then the winds will play an anthem that will echo through the sky

And the banners of the sunrise will dip low as they go by. Why, there's Master Sergeant Johnny, with his crutches thrown away.

Eyes right ! Mrs. Miller's Joseph, he was killed at Buna Bay. Doughboys lost in grimy foxholes from Matruth to St. Nazaire, Booby-trapped in reeking cellars, every mother's son was there !

There're a thousand from Tarawa and the gang from Kwajalein; There the battle-scarred battalions rose from Hill Six Hundred Nine. Here are Merril's grim marauders, blood wounds washed There's the valiant st. Lo major, rlr;l.,ff;il"fl"li*' pass in review. Here the boys who held one acre in a skirmish without name,

Here is 90007-heaven knows him just the same !

Rank on rank of marching thousands, tramping over heaven's sod, Captains, privates, sergeants, colonels-all pass equal before God.

They wear ribbons from the sunset, they wear medals of the suns, And the thunder and the lightning fash salute from heaven's guns.

They go marching, marching, marching, Through the vistas of the skyThey go marching en felgyslYANKEE SOLDIERS NEVER DIE.
