SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Abraham, a True Pioneer, Inspired
Those of Our Country's Early Days
Scripture: Genesis: Chapters 12 to 50; Acts 7:2-8; Hebrews 11:8-27
By William E. Gilroy, D. D. '
Here in our western world the
Dioriecr is near to our life today,
Great railroads cross the contin
ent where the oxen-drawn cover
ed. wagon once toiled slowly, and
broad splendid highways have
now been added to the railways.
The automobile traveler can
speed from coast to coast or
could when he could get gnso-
line.. across the great plains
and . prairies, and through the j
passes, and even over the sum-
mitsot the high mountains.
il was my privilege to make
the coast-to-coast auto trip three
times, there and back, in four
vearc- anrl T knnir hnuf HiffiniH '
it is,- even with the best inten
tion's, to visualize in the easy,
and even luxurious conditions of
today, the toils, and perils, and
sacrifices, and hardships of the
pioneers ' who went westward
end conquered the west so re
cently as to be within the mem
ory of many still living.
Now the point I wish to make
is that we are apt-also In take
the heritage of our religious faith
and freedom for granted! without
adequately realizing that here,
too, pioneers have blazed the
way, enduring, suffering and sac
rificing in obedience to that in- '
ncr urge that drove them for-I
ward, and in conscious purpose i
to fulfill their destiny in prcpar-
ing the way for the generations
that would follow them. j

Elgin Airman Is
Back From Patrol
Duty In Pacific
Walter T. Durham, 21, navy
seaman first class, Elgin, Oregon,
has returned from a tour of com
bat duty in the Pacific, where he
served as tail gunner of a navy
Liberator search plane in Patrol
Bombing Squadron 102. Durham
completed 43 combat missions.
Sweeping the seas of the west
ern Pacific ahead of and around
our Fast Carier Task Forces, his
plane flew many 2,000-mile un
escorted patrols to spot enemy
shipping and aircraft, thus facili
tating the navy s steady drive to
ward the Jap mainland.
On one occasion, while pound
ing enemy shipping and shore in
stallations in the Bonins, the
plane was .attacked by five Japj
llgllieib. nUWUVLT, II1L' IIIUL-11IML-
gun fire from the Liberator was
so accurate the Japs eventually
broke off the engagement and
fled.
On another search, the Libera
tor sighted a Jap Betty (twin
engine bomber) flying low over
the water west of the Marianas.
The navy plane closed the range,
and after a brief skirmish, the
Betty flamed, hit the waves and
exploded.
Durham is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Edward Durham of Elgin.
Before entering the navy, he at
tended Elgin high school, where
he was on the golf and basket
ball teams. His wife is the for
mer Eva McMillion of Elgin.
