FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1940 Dreadful August Days These last days of August recall the days of grave anxiety which brought last August to a close. Midnight of August 31st last year came with the bitterest promise ever offered to mankind--the assurance that nothing could stop Hitler from plunging into war the nations of Europe. Everyone recalls the reports of the intense activity of the chancelleries of Europe in the days before as it was at last realized that the peace of the world would be butchered by the nazi leader. A few short hours later Adolf Hitler sent his legions and air force over the Polish boundaries to "punish" the Poles as he said --really to crush them and wipe them from the face of the earth. Today Poland is divided between Germany and Russia and the Poles are either scattered abroad or living in lowest slavery under the merci- less rule of the Huns. One German tells other Germans that the Pole is the servant of the German. Mass shifting of popula- tion proved the Hitler lie. His aim was to crush Poland. In those last days of August 1939, man- kind read the writing on the sky of the world that Britain and France would battle the Germans on behalf of the Polish people. Man saw that the peoples which had been overrun or would be overrun would have as their champion the British Isles. So it was no surprise when Britain on Septem- ber third threw down the challenge to Adolf Hitler. It was no surprise when Canada and the rest of the Empire rallied to the Empire's cause in a chain of strength across the world. Last August the world finally realized that another era was to come, a dread era, that of war, which would change the rou- tine of the lives of the people and of in- dividuals, and in time would vastly change the future course of all the history of the world. For it was clear that the democra- cies had to fight against the spirit of evil and destruction, represented by the Ger- mans. It was also clear that Britain, hav- ing unsheathed the sword, would never sheathe it again until righteousness was dealt out to the world. Today, that Britain still stands the cita- del to which all the world, neutrals as well : as overrun peoples, look for deliverance from the horrible threat of the unspeak- able Hun. Today Hitler stands blockaded by British sea power, pounded and blasted by the greatest air force in the world for its achievement and bravery, he is defied by the people of the heroic little isles, who taunt the gross aggressor from Germany. This Hitler cannot see himself sadly and fatally behind his schedule marked out for - conquest of the world. He can see the danger to him of new movements, new mischiefs afoot which threaten him. Hitler as aggressor after a year is still the victim of the laws and fates that pursue all aggres- sors, the people and the world he would conquer are too big for him for that glori- ous company comprises not only the people fighting against him, but the spirit of jus- tice which animates humanity in the mass. It is nothing new to say that Adolf Hit- ler bears the curses of the world upon his infamous head. Human justice is such that he is doomed--he, that man, that would have doomed all, could he have upset the balance wheel of life. After a year of the most dastardly demonstrations of national degradation in the tactics and spirit of German nazism Hitler has got no farther than the channel. In fact with mighty British raids over the channel, his highways, communications, his plants, pre- paring death for the British and the rest of the world, are themselves consigned to ~ destruction by the heroic airmen of the Royal Air Force. It is the people from beyond the sea, the people in the British Isles, that will wash away Hitlerism and Nazism. The men from the tight isles of Britain will drive back the monstrous crea- tion of nazism. Britain plans an offensive when the time is rife. When will it come? Where will it come? No one knows. But it will come and then will come the revenge for the nations who now are bound by Hitler. They will rise and aid the great deliverer and emancipator nation, Britain, in striking the chains of slavery from every nation. Red Sky Over London "There has been no more terrible portent in this war than the blood-red sky that hung over Central London in the dark hours of a recent morning. A single Ger- man raider, flying five miles above the city's defences, dropped a load of incen- diary bombs. A shower of spark and flame shot up from a loft building near St. Paul's; the cathedral dome was silhouetted against the glare, and other fires soon were glowing around the black horizon. This was a night- mare coming true, for it was the first Ger- man attempt to start a conflagration in the heart of London, the first experiment of its kind in lighting the way for bombers over blacked-out England . . . As dawn broke over London, our correspondent cabled, 'the dome of St. Paul's swam on the sky, as always.' But if one plane with one load could paint the London sky red, one won- ders with a shudder what hundreds of such raiders could do. Will the dome of St. Paul's still be there? Will its Cross still stand as a benediction to the millions who live within sight of it? Will anything be left of Europe's monuments to the human spirit if this air warfare is carried to its suicidal 'conclusion ?"--New York Times Tennyson's Prophecy Modern literary lights regard Tennyson as a little old-fashioned as a poet. Never- theless he had the vision of a poet. A correspondent has asked us to repeat his famous prophecy in Locksley Hall. For I dipt into the future, far as human eye can see, Saw a Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be; Saw the heavens fill with commerce, ar- gosies of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales; Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue; Far along the world-wide whisper of the south wind rushing warm, With the standards of the peoples plunging thro' the thunderstorm; Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle-flags were furl'd In the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the World. This was written nearly 90 years ago. The ghastly dew is now falling. Will the Parliament of Man follow? An effort was made after the last war, through the League of Nations, to form a Parliament of Man, but the world was not ready for it. After this war the world surely will be ready to turn to the League of Nations or a Parliament of Man. Certainly the world cannot continue fighting such wars as this every 20 years, Editorial Notes An astrologer quotes the stars as author- ity for the statement that the war will be over by November 15 of this year, This can certainly be described as far-fetched evidence. To lessen the risk of being struck by lightning, "Don't leap into the bathtub," advises Deputy-Fire Marshal Ritchie: "the charge may follow the plumbing." Doesn't it always!--Toronto Star. It is pointed out that the fighting men of Canada and Australia are better paid in this war than any of the others. As for the men in the German and Italian ranks their remuneration is next to nothing. Canada's strategic highways are to be discussed by the country's road engineers and authorities, which brings to mind the fact that the Dominion has not too many roads adaptable to modern military move- ments. A United States newspaperman who was recently in Paris says that Goering took the largest and most impressive suite in the Ritz after the Germans marched into the city. That is just what might be ex- pected of him, A Bible Thought for Today EXPERIENCE HELPS OUR FAITH: For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and Praise to spring forth before all the nations,--Isaigh The Golden Text CHORISTER BOYS "Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and forget not all His benefits.--Ps, 103:2. The Sunday School Lesson (By NEWMAN CAMPBELL) (The International! Uniform Les- son on the above topic for Sept. 1 is Psalms 103, 107, the Golden Text being Psalm 103:2 -- "Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and forget not all His benefits.") THE LESSON today begins with a song of praise to the Almighty for His goodness to the psalinist. "Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, His holy name. Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits." Suppose we forget all the terri- ble things that are going on in the world for the moment, and con- | centrate on the things we have to be thankful for -- for which we | can "bless Jehovah." I sometimes think there very, very few people who are as happy as they might be, because | s0 few think seriously of their bless- | ings. How many of you stop and consider your homes, your father, mother, sisters and brothers and other relatives who make life happy for you? Just having a home with parents who love you, who provide you with a comfortable place to stay, with food and clothes and | playthings, should make one feel happy inside. Of course things go wrong occasionally in such homes, just as they do in the world which is such a beautiful place There are storms and disasters. But how few they are compared with the happy times. If we really seriously take time to think of these things, | joy wells up within us, and natural- | ly we say with the psalmist, "Bless | the Lord, Oh my soul and forget | not all His benefits" | How beautiful is the world we | live In, and especially our own dear | country, with its fertile fields, ite orchards and vineyards, its hills and valleys, mountains and streams, its | sunshine -- even its storms! What comforts we have; what diversity of products -- natural and manufac- tured. Count Your Blessings Next time you are unhappy for any reason, count up all these blessings, and your depression will roll away like mist before the sun The next lines of the psalm are: "Who forgiveth all thine iniqui- ties; Who healeth all thy diseases: Who redeemeth thy life from des- truction; Who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy desire with good things, 80 that thy youth is renewed like the eagle. He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Now rewardeth us after our iniq- uities." Each of us is aware of our faults, We wrestle with them and try to do what is right, only to fall again and again into sin, or at least into wrong doing. But our lives are not made ceaselessly unhappy because of these things. We "are not dealt with after our sins" but are for- given again and again, and loved, and our good points appreciated, "He remembereth that we are dust," that He created us so that it is bless are | | their return from exile, | to the sailors | rfeems they will be lost, they cry to easy for us to do wrong, and so we are forgiven. The psalmist then speaks of the shortness of man's life. "As for man, his days are as grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourish eth, For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place there. of shall know it no more. But the loving kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting." Surely with such love and for- bearance we should not only strive to what is right, but should give thanks unto Jehovah all our days. The 107th psalm continues the theme of God's goodness, with the refrain occurring throughout at in- tervals: "Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is goed: for His mercy en- Zureth forever." It refers to the banishment of the Jewish people from their own land and their captivity, and of It points out how Jehovah made that exile bearable, and at last showed them the way home, They wandered in | the desert, the psalmist says, but "He led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation." "He satisfieth and filleth the goodness." "They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters: "These see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep." He speaks of the storms that come and that when fit the longing soul, hungry soul with the Lord, and "He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still." "Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men." Maxwell's (Staff Corr.) MAXWELLS, Aug. 27--Mrs. E.
