THURSDAY, JUNE 6TH, 1940 The Cail of the Hour A statement has been issued by the heads of The Church of England iin Canada. The Baptist Convention of Ontario andi Quebete. The Fresbyterian Churcl ini Canada and The United Church of Canada. The state- ment reads as follows: "In this hour of stress we urge ail Christ- ian people in Canada wit1î whorn our voice has influence to hold fast their confidence in God, 10 wait patientiy for Himi, and ini thec armour of that faith and patience to face courageousiv the struggle before oir' Empire and its Allies. We believe that our cause is the cause of Christian civilization. and that Divine power and guidance will be given to us to ivin victory for it, however hard the road w-e must first travel. And we cali upon ail to whom God and Righteous- ness are the supreme realities of life 10 give themselves to this sacred cause with single- ness of purposle, dedicating to it ail their powers, and grudgîng no sacrifice', whether of comfort, wealth, or life îtself, whicli vil secure for us and our children the precious things won for us by the sacrifices of oui' Fathers." Each I-as Two Responsibilities What do Canada and Democracv reallv mean to yout asks I. D. WiIlis of Port Hope, in a bookiet which has corne to te editor's desk. Opening with this statement, "Canada, as a member of a great demo- cratic Commonwealth, has accepted its re- sponsibility to support democracy in its struggle with totaliarianisrn. -We, therefore, as individual Canadians, are participants in this war, " and with this " each one of us lias two responsbilitîes. First, w-c must do ail we can to win the war, so as 10 ensure continuance of our democratie system of government. Secondly, we must see to it that our system of government is truly de- mocratic and that freedom and integrrity uphold justice for ail," the wniter urges co- operation with the government in ils efforts to make Canada's war effort fully effectuai. Continuing, he says, the sludy of the evils and abuses of our system miay help to lead to a cure. In the meantime this bit of good adviece is passed out.,"if you really want to learn about Canada, study conditions in your own viinity; study Canadian history. problems and conditions." And, as he con- cludes, there must be work toward the de- sired end as there is "no magical formula which will bing prosperity, peace and secuity." It sounds reasonable.
