The piece reflects wartime revival of faith among Christians facing global conflict. It lauds renewed religious devotion among soldiers, calls for another $300,000 in war bonds to fund a Flying Fortress named The City of High Point, and credits citizens, merchants, and volunteers for supporting the war effort. It also critiques a sensational Hitler Mussolini report and ends with humor about public speaking in barber colleges.
