GUAM, June 8—(/P)—American
Marines cut off Oroku peninsula
yesterday, dividing the remnants
of a Jap garrison stubbornly de- i
fending Okinawa into two separate j
groups.
Tokyo began a propaganda
build-up to write off the island
about the time that Admiral Nim
i
itz reported 66,324 Nipponese had
been killed from the April first I
invasion through Wednesday. The J
Tokyo broadcast said “the Okin-1
awa fighting was never intended
to decide the fate of the nation—
only part of a decisive war on the
homeland," conceded “no one can
deny the fighting on Okinawa has
great effect on the entire war.”
One concentration of Japanese

mortars sealed them off when

CHILDRENS’ DAY
I CHURCH SERVICES
It is interesting to recall the or
j igin of Children’s Day. Rev.
Charles Leonard, pastor of the
Church of the Redeemer, of Chel
sea, Massachusetts, was very fond
of the younger members of his
j parish; he called them the “Roses
1 in God’s garden.” He gave them
an unusually prominent place in
all the activities of his church.
In June, the month of roses, he
set aside one Sunday as “Rose Sun
day.” The children took part in
the services, by singing their fav
orite songs and reciting scripture
| verses which they had been learn
! ing. This privilege gave the chil
j dren a deeper feeling of responsi
j bility in the church. The word of
j this happy occasion soon spread
and other churches began to ob
serve “Rose Sunday,” which was
later changed to “Children’s Day.”
Children play an important part j
all through the Bible. At various
I
times the history of events hung i
upon the fate of a single child— |
the boy Joseph, the baby Moses,
the infant John to Baptist, and
finally the Babe of Bethlehem.
When Jesus put His remarkable
emphasis upon the place of a child
in God’s kingdom, He was not i
merely dealing with the children
themselves and their parents but,
was breaking over the prejudice
of His disciples. To them and to
Christians of all times, He gave
the command, “Suffer little chil
dren, and forbid them not to come
