There never was a time in the history of the world

when people needed more the emotional outlet, the re-creation

of spiritual courage, than they do now, Some, like Lincoln,
will be sustained and helped by a sense of humor; others will
find their relief in getting acquainted all over again with great
books that have nothing to do with the war; still more will renew
their spiritual strength by playing games with the family, the
neighbors, and other Prieias, thereby getting better acquainted
with one another, But the best re-creation of all is music and
singing. A famous general once said that you couldn't lick &
singing army. We are all in the army now, and all of us need

to laugh and ,to play and to ote together. We need a never
before to re-create our tired and faltering spirits in order

that we may work together to create a better and happier world.
