Spirit Led and Bible Fed, "Grace & Mercy"
By Joel Evers , Pastor Southside Baptist Church
President Franklin D. Roosevelt died unexpectedly in 1945. Harry S. Truman then became the 33rd President of the United States. He faced a difficult task, leading us through the ending of World War II, and the post-war recovery. Most of Europe was devastated. Bombs, rockets, and artillery shells had ruined crops, fields, and infrastructure. In 1947, Secretary of State George C. Marshall drew up a plan to assist Europe’s recovery from the war. The Marshall Plan, as it is known, included 13 billion dollars in economic aid.
