Myrtle Station -Church service on Sunday velng was conducted by the pastor, Rev. G. S. Gervan, Mark 13 was chosen for the Scriipture lesson and his text was found in the last part of the 37th verse: And what I say unto you, I say unto all, Watch. Mr, Gervan said that it 'will be a good thing for each one of us to look back over the past year and think of the blessings that we have enjoyed, the opportunities that have come our way and whether we have made the most of them or not. Wé should ask ourselves whether the year was a self centered one or one spent in the kindly interest of others and take sufficient time to answer that question. What has the future for us?

Take for instance the rapid strides that have been made in the realms of electricity, surgery, engineering and even farming. ) There was a day when the' progress of man was controlled by the religious authorities. Galileo was convinced that the earth was round; the Church for centuries had said it was flat; and woe betide the luckless individual who had any other theory and dared to voice it. But for a century or so man has acted on his own initiative, morc or less, and notice his continued up- ward movement, Faith is the keynote of our civiliza- tion. Humanity has dreamed dreams and then striven to make these dreams come trué. This truth has been much more evident since man has been al- lowed to work untrammelled by out- side influences, and that accounts in a large measure for the progress of mankind. Cause and effect is an aneint truth, Sow oats and you will reap oats. Plant tares and tares will be your harvest. Euclid calls these axions, self-evident truths. - This old world because of its pro- gress, was enjoying unprecedented prosperity, "Poor people were revel- ling in luxuries that even royalty a century ago was denied. This all came about because thinkers and workers were using their inventive genius to the full, without let or hind- rance.. They took hold of barren lands and caused the wilderness to blossom as the rose. As is usually the case when one has acquired sub- stance there are always others who were not fortunate and we find in nations as well as in individuals the "haves" and the "have nots." On the American continent were the "Jesse James" and the "Dillin- gers". and in Britain were "Robin Hoods" and "Dick Turpins" all of whom because they "had not" were envious of the possessions of those who "had". There always have been and always will be those who are en- vious of the possessions of others. Men- have called these attempted seizures by various names, Some few years ago a Canadian Premier came to power on the wings of a pro- mise to give every one in that .Pro- vince a bonus of $26.00 per month, but some how or other his promise was wafted away on thin air, though erst- while inhabitants of that Province came from the uttermost parts of the earth because the outlook looked so good. Then a learned doctor in Cal- ifornia promissed $200.00 a month to : all who attained a certain age, but his wonderful prediction never took any tangible form. : Now we are confronted with a couple of gangsters, they have turn- ed the world upside down. They are after seizing from the "haves" be- cause they have not." Although other nations did offer to share the world's spoils with them-they were not satisfied because they could not grab the spoils fast enough and by all the underhanded 'tricks imaginable they are trying to get the upper hand of things in the establishment as they call it, a "new order." The devastation caused by thesé desperadoes in their attempt to crush all other nations is almost beyond be- lief. Those who have submitted with- out a struggle have had to endure un- believeable privations and those na- tions which had the courage to fight for their liberty are suffering in a manner fearful beyond belief. . But the fate of dictators is always the assassin's knife or sulclde. ~ No stability ean be hoped for on puch a foundation as these would-be rulers lay. The fear of those nations not + psubniitting - to. their will woul' be a worse fate than those nations which have given in to their demands. It must not be forgotten that those na- tions which are fighting for their very existence are acquiring a fury that is white hot, This is not out of fear, but because they possess an unprece- dented confidence and hope. Our Em. pire and the now awakened United Stales are rising up in their indig- nation and might." We have learned that the North West Mounted Police always get their man and even though the foe might slay an individual red- coat, then ten others (like Hercules giants) stand ready to replace the slain, . This is no time for fear; but for un- bounded hope and confidence, The de- cisive hour is approaching. The one who merely lives in fear and dread will likely end in chains and prison. This old world was founded in hope and confidence. Be sure you are right then go straight ghead. Did you ever see such a cause as we foster go down into blackness and night? Remember the faith of the Pilgrim Fathers; of those who left Europe for freedom of speech and religion; of old Abraham leaving his home and everything that was dear to him to seek a country dictated to him by an urge within; of those early Christian martyrs who be- lieved the justice of their cause and were ready to die for it. Is God dead? Everything you do in your home and business life is conducted on faith and just because we seek to intimidate us, shall some cut-throats who are not yet on the Isle of St. Helena, we fear and tremble? It stands 'to reason that we stand aghast at the terrible depredations they are making on pur loved ones across the seas; but as our Empire was saved from the Spanish Armada and the threats of Napoleon in the same manner will our Empire emerge from this Gethsemane of sor- row and bloodshed when the disaster that threatens humanity has become a thing of the past, and the dictators and their ilk will have received. their just desserts. Then the better day will become a glorious reality, the great Utopia for which all good people long and pray. too Myrtle. "Station (Continued - from column 2) family of Dagmar, Mr, and Mrs. L. L.
