Do unto others as ye would that they
would do unto you." The Golden Rule says
"do" first. It does not say, "see what
others will do for you."
This includes: "Speak about othersas
you would that they speak about you."
"Pray for others as you would that
they would pray for you."
"Think the best of others as you
would that they think of you,"
"Help others as you would that that
would help you."
This simple formula is the sum total
of Christian service. It is completely
unselfish. It does not ask something
for self first. It "does" in spite of
self, not for self.
The Golden Rule does not ask if he
is civilian or military. It does not
ask what department he comes from. It
does not ask rank or rate. It does not
ask, "who's responsibility is it?" It
says, "Do, as ye would that others -
would do unto you."
This leaves no room to shirk respon
sibility. It makes right laws and rules
laid down that require us all to do our
duty. It makes them right because they
require even the lawmakers and rulemakers
to abide by the same laws and rules. It
is what they want for themselves & others
(Continued next column)
It is the only way there will be a
’’peace on earth" for there will be no
peace on earth as long as we exercise
our selfishnessf as long as we are un
willing to help as we would like to be
helped. There will be peace on earth
when all will do as they would like to
have done for them. There will be a
peace on earth when we speak as . we
would like to be spoken to. There will
be greater inner peace as well when we
pray for others as we would like them v
to pray for us. There will be a marks
ed difference in ourselves and other
people when we excuse them and think
the best of them as we do for ourselves.
It is not easy. It was not easy fo^
Christ to go to the Cross, but he did,^
He did it for others. We are those oth*
ers. He did it so we could be forgiven,
and appear clean before God.
We owe to others what God has done
for us.

A native of Savanna, Oklahoma, his
parents Mr. and Mrs. D.T. Holt reside

resides in San Diego awaiting his ret
urn from his Adak tour of duty.
Bill hopes to get some shore duty or
a ship homeported in San Diego when he„
leaves Adak.
His duties at Birchwood have been
many and varied. At the present time
he is a night cook.
Chief HOLMES is well pleased with the
work that HOLT has been doing and the
men at Birchwood are fortunate in having
his services when it comes to night rat
ions.
