East Sweden Tidings, Volume 1, Number 10, September 1945

An issue of the "East Sweden Tidings", a monthly church newsletter, discussing World War II's V-J Day, the return of McCulloch County area troops, and a brief retrospective of the start of the war. The writer states that "it was also in the Providence of God" that the allies won the war, and goes further to say that it is faith, not military power, that brings world peace. The end of the newsletter provides thanks on behalf of the church for the end of the war.
