going to the battlefields within a few days and I want to have everything right between me and God befote I go. Preacher, I have never seen you and do not know you personally, but I wish you would write me and tell me exactly what to do to be saved and ready to meet the Lord it this should be my time to go. Also, if you wish to read this letter over the air you may do so, for it may help some mother or father to wake ap to what is going on. Pet haps it may reach my own mother and help het

to see what she should do.

Now, here is the story: When I went home the other week, I went , with a feeling of joy, and yet there J was a burden on my heart. I knew j that perhaps it would be my last furJ lough home, and that maybe I would never see my folks again. For 1 ' know that not all of us are coming I back, and as yet I am not ready to Idle. So as I went home, I went hopI ing that mother and dad would help me to get right with the Lord. I knew that they had never been very religious, but they belonged to thi church and claimed to be Christians. They never had family prayers and did not seem to care much about the real spiritual work of the church.

But I had the idea that that would! have. Preacher. I could not stand it

and anyone who was really interest-

. (1 could walk.

Dad is all wrapped up in his job. Ol course, it is a defense job

does not seem to care the defense end of it.

talk about was the big salary he was getting, and the fact that their local union was pressing for more money. One day when I said something about it being the biggest salary he nad ever gotten, he said, ‘‘O well, I just might as well get my part out that he is actually glad that the war is goirg on. He did not seem a bit interested in the fact that the longer the war goes on the more people will lose their lives. All he seemed to

cate about was his pay.

So I spent my entire furlough at home. Time and again I would bring up the subject of religion hoping that Mother or Dad would talk to me about my soul. O how I wanted Mother to pray for me and how 1 wanted Dad to talk to me. Of course I had never heard Mother pray, and Dad had never said a word to me in all my life about my soul, but I thought that surely this year would make people turn to God. But the full time of my furlough passed and they had not said one word. Then came the day when I had to

the Lord.

So I went home hoping that they would talk to me about being a Christian, and that they would try to help me get saved and ready to meet the Lord. I went home thinking that surely my Mother was interested in t the spiritual condition of her son. I

I knew that I might nevet see them again. But that was not what worried me. I just had to cry to think tnat my own Mother and Dad were not in the least interestec

I told myself that Mothei’ was praying for me and that she was interested in seeing her boy saved, whether

anyone else was or not.

i But, things at home were not what 11 had expected to find them. I think 11 came back to camp the most discouraged boy that there has ever been. For when I got home everything seemed to be just about as usual. About the only difference that I could see was that they fussed a lot about having to put up with rationing and because they could not buy just anything they wanted to nave. As far as their religious life is concerned, I think they must be farther from God than they have ever been. Precaher, they seem to be asleep to what this war is doing, tpid instead of waking up and getting right with God, they seem to be getting deeper In sin. The Mother that I thought would pray with me and help me to be saved, never once mentioned religion to me. She has even quit going to Church with the excuse that they do not have enough gas to drive to Church. I noticed I-IL—LI--- ■' 1 ""—

and Dad if God should call them into the judgment. I am not very proud of Mother now. I see that she is more interested in her clubs and visits and clothes than she is in the salvation of her own son. And one day when I smelled cigarette smoke on her breath, I knew that Mothei was just as badly in need of some-

one piaying for her is i am. Now, I know that Dad isn’t inter-

ested in his son’s salvation. Oh. he got a kick out of taking me around and showing the men of the community what a fine-looking boy he had, and all of that. But, preacher, Dad does not care about my salvation. He is too much interested in making a dollar. I even caught him

drinking one day in a beer joint. I know this is a long letter and

will take some of your precious time, but I write it in the hope that you may be able to say or do something that will wake the Godless Fathers and Mothers of America up to see that they have boys and girls who need to be saved and that they should help them. Tell the Mothers
