Mother's Day
May 9, 1943
TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS IN THE ARMED FORCES FROM
COLLINS MEMORIAL METHODIST CHURCH:
On this Mother's Day, 1943, your Church is deeply concerned over your welfare. We are constantly
thinking of you and are grateful for the heroic sacrifice that you, and millions of others are making
that we might have a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. The flag on the wall with a star for
each of you is before us every time we meet, and may we assure you that we count it a privilege to always bear you to a Throne of grace. Your Church is proud of you and it is our earnest prayer that our Heavenly Father will keep, encourage and strengthen you and in His Providence return you safely to us soon.
Your servant in Christ,
J. C. Callaway, Pastor.
Dear Friend in Service:
We are constantly reminded of how small our part in the war effort is compared with the sacrifices you, in the service, are making. We are thankful that we have such fine boys and girls in our church, and although we miss you our hearts are filled with pride over the splendid job you are doing. We pray the Heavenly Father will protect you and that soon you will be back home again.
Yours very sincerely,
R. D. Webb, Chm. Board of Stewards,
Dear Friend,
It is a joy and privilege to try to convey to you how much we, at home, honor you for your cheerful answer to our Country's call, and our prayers and best wishes follow you in all you undertake, wherever you may be. We are doubly proud of your patriotism and influence which proclaims the worth - whileness of Christianity.
Sincerely,
Fannie Mae Webb, (Mrs.R.D.) Pres. W.S.C.S.
Dear Young Friends,
Great rewards are always bought by terrific effort. This effort you are making in each day's achievement
and in each tomorrow's project. Reward will surely come to you, both in a personal way because of that deep inward satisfaction which follows a job well done, and in a general way because of a better civilization which must result. You are doing just what I expected of you- your duty. My warm interest follows you. My constant prayer to Our Heavenly Father is that He may be with you and may bring you safely home again soon.
Affectionately,
"Miss Vera" (Mrs. Homer L. Wilson) Director Christian Education.
