Salvation Army Bells Through a Century of Service
The Salvation Army marks over a century of outreach in downtown and mall kettles as volunteers fund local aid. Capt. Donald Hickey notes the bell date traces to General Booth who sought food, shelter, and gospel reach for the hungry. The article covers history, methods, and current reach with 71 countries, 153 languages, and 19,198 centers.

Noon Prayer Call Key 73 mobilizes continent for two weeks
A Noon Prayer Call runs daily at noon from Christmas 1972 to early 1973 inviting Christians to pause and pray for millions to be led to Christ through Key 73. Over 140 denominations and Christian groups back the effort aimed at North America. Prayer cards are distributed at local eateries by the Noon Optimist Club to aid participation. The weekly prayer group at Bethany Christian Church plans a December 9 gathering with minister Lanis Kineman to pray for the launch of Key 73.

Bonhoeffer and Jeremiah Ask What It Means To Stand for Faith
Dietrich Bonhoeffer urged resisting tyranny even at cost while Jeremiah warned surrender to save lives. A Cushite slave Ebedmelech rescued the prophet, showing integrity over risk. Modern Christians face pressures to conform and seek wealth rather than spiritual values, and Americans are urged to persevere in faith and service.
