What Will [underlined] You [/underlined] Give?

“God loveth a cheerful giver.” – II Cor. 9. 7.

Give, and give not grudgingly, but with a ready hand – Urgent is the need of many – and the times demand – a sacrifice; and offering ; a cheery willingness – to help our nation in its hour of danger , strain and stress.
Help to buy a Spitfire or a bandage or a gun – for only by our selfless efforts can the War be won, . . . Night and day the R.A.F. our grateful praises earn. They give their lives to guard us. . . What will you give in return?
