The book, written longhand and completed in 1851, predicted later church mergers and reduced sectarian conflict.

Ghost Bomber Propeller On Display At AF Museum
The Lady Be Good propeller is now exhibited at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Museum in Fairborn. Discovered after a 1959 report by British prospectors, the B-24 Lib bomber vanished in 1943 over the Libyan desert with nine crew, later yielding five more remains as the search continued. The display honors a doomed mission and airmen who faced desert death rather than enemy fire. The museum sits 11 miles east of Dayton, open 9 to 4 weekdays and 1 to 5 weekends and holidays.
