A CELESTIAL PILGRIMAGE
By Robert Lee Berry
This is a book that inspires one to better living and at the same time
points out the pitfalls in modern life and shows how to avoid them.
The author has used the style that Bunyan did in his PILGRIM'S PROG-
RESS, but is wholly original in his manner of expressing his message. He
gets at the very heart of life problems of the present day.
The book is so intensely interesting that one does not want to stop
reading until he has finished it.

Christ, God came down. In Christ, God was mani-
fest in a human form. He who formed all things,
who created all things, came into his creation to
save the men of it.
That coming of Christ is the greatest miracle
of the ages. Nothing else can be compared to it.
It is simply beyond comparison.
This, reader, is reason enough for this book. It
contains in a brief compass the major features of
Christ's plan of redemption.
It should be remarked in passing that the re-

THE FIRST STEP
Redemption through Christ.
A
MAN was sitting in his parlor one day when
his six-year-old son came in with tears in his
eyes. The boy came to his father but seemed
unable to explain what was the matter. "What is
the matter, Son?" asked the father. "I do not feel
right, Father," he replied. "Have you hurt your-
self?" "No, sir," replied the boy. "Have you
done something wrong?" asked the father. "No,
not anything right now," he said. Then it dawned
on this father's mind that it was the work of the
Spirit of God.
"Do you feel that you are not right with God?"
asked the father.
"Yes, Father, that is what I feel. I feel that I
should be saved." Then they went to the Lord in
prayer, and the boy was saved.
The work of the Spirit of God in awakening
the soul is a miracle. It is mysterious. It is God
trying to bring a soul to know him.
How does God come to one's heart? This ques-
tion may need an answer. Dear reader, that ques-
tion may be in your mind. Perhaps you have tried
to find God. You may have prayed futilely, ap-
parently. You may have followed the advice of

Mr. John B. Kelly, of Philadelphia,
has written me of your desire to present
to the President a very lovely and unique
gift which you have made for him. May I,
in this connection, explain our policy in
matters of this kind?
For some months the President has been
working under such heavy pressure that he
has delegated me, in my capacity as appoint-
ment secretary, to receive all gifts on his
behalf. I will, therefore, be glad to see
you here at the Executive Offices whenever
you wish to bring the gift down, or if you
prefer, the gift can be mailed in my care.
In any event, I shall await your further
advice.
May I assure you of the President's
real appreciation of your thoughtfulness.
I am,
Very sincerely yours,

My dear General Watson:
In compliance with your request about the Artists for Victory,
the representatives of which Society you so cordially received at 11 a.m.
Saturday, January 16th.
This organization is composed of twenty-six of the principal art
societies of the United States. They include painters, sculptors, architects
and graphic artists. In peace time they hold exhibitions and in general
represent the best in our American art culture. Many of the most prominent
artists and architects of the country are among our members. We organized
a year ago into the Artists for Victory to assist in all possible ways in
the war effort. We were incorporated in Albany, N. Y. as a membership non
profit organization whose object is patriotism.
The proofs which we presented to you for President Roosevelt are
printed from prize winning designs of a National War Poster competition which
was inspired by the President's great message on the State of the Union of
January 6th, 1942 and out of a feeling of sentiment we hope the President
will be pleased to receive them.
As we are a non-profit federation, R. Hoe and Company gave us the
necessary financial support to conduct the Competition and has reproduced
these posters in quantity for us and for which it donated prizes in our
National War Poster Competition.
The Treasury Department has selected four others for reproduction
and the O.W.I. three more,
The Artists for Victory desires to thank you for your cordial
reception and is happy to present these reproductions to our Commander in
Chief as a symbol of the war contribution of the Artists of America. These
reproductions for the President are the first proofs off the press.

Dear Mr. Early:
From our cruise together to the Gallapages Islands on the HOUSTON
in 1938 I remember the President's keen interest in the Navy and
everything naval. Accordingly, I have taken the liberty of having
my publishers forward to you for the President under separate cover a
copy of my new book, The Naval Officer's Guide.
If you think the President would be interested in the Guide, I
would appreciate your bringing it to his attention at a convenient
time.
With kindest personal regards,
Sincerely,

Well, she came. The Creole ladies received a shock.
She was the backwoods incarnate. While her man had
been away at the wars her days had been filled with toil and
her nights with anxiety. Not merely had the house and dairy
known her, but the cotton fields, the corn field, the stables
and paddocks. Her hands had grown calloused, and her
figure had slumped into shapelessness.
Society, indulgent to an able man, is relentless to his wife.
The belles of New Orleans held inexcusable Rachel's failure
to acquire in a frontier town all the graces of Paris. But
there was nothing the matter with Rachel that the General
could see. She appeared with him at the grand ball, when
the delivered city of New Orleans paid its farewell tribute to
