Affection of the congregation for the Rev. and Mrs. Crofoot and their family was expressed by a number the period of fellowship Sunday evening following worship. Basing his address on. the 16th chapter of 'St. Matthew's Gospel, subject of "The Church" Sunday morning. . "Forces of the Christian religion stand with thelr backs to the wall in this fearful hour of human des- tiny," Mr. Crofoot declared. "The challenge to adherents of the Christian Churches is that they be loyal and true since the world has perhaps never needed the Christian message more than now, and the Church must stand true if that mes- sage is not once more to become 'The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Measure of Failure "The Church must confess a measure of failure to influence the life of mankind. Indeed, earnest Christian people are those who are first to make that confession. How- ever, only those who put their lives into the church have the right to criticize it." In applying this statement local- ly and to the world of church ser- vice generally, Rey, Mr. Crofoot declared that the worst critics are those who fail to bear their share of the responsibility; and that these half-hearted or disinterested mem- bers are the greatest hindrance to the ministry of any pastor. "Our confidence is still in the power of God as {it 1s exerted through Christian forces," the de- parting pastor declared. "Jesus sald of His Church tha' 'The gates of Hell shall not prevail against it,' and we may place our utmost confidence in that Divine statement no matter how dark or threatening conditions may be. "In spite of all which some may cite to the contrary, God will still manifest His power," Rev, Mr. Cro- " |toot stated in conclusion, "and the church will come out of this dark- ness and terror, -as it always has emeged, puified, stronger and more effective. And then, believe it all who fix their hopes in Him who died on the Cross, the Kingdom of God will come." At the evening baptismal and communion service, Rev. Mr.. Cro- foot's final message was on "The appeal of Christ" from the tender call of the Gospel story of disciples followers deserting Him, It vas then that He turned to the 'weelve and said, "Will ye also go away?" Plea for the unqualified surrend- ler to the high and: lofty ideals of ithe Saviour's teaching featured the final message. Presentations were made to mem- bers of Rev. Mr. Crofoot's family by various Pirst Baptist Church ore ganizations, The junior classes of the Sunday School made presenta- 'tions to Mrs. Crofoot, their pianist; and to Joan Anne, seven, and Rob- ert Crofoot, Mrs. Crofoot's class of girls of- fered a token of their affection to thelr teacher. Sidney Parrott's class presented Robert Crofoot with a pen'and pencil set this past Thusday night... 'p peaceful picketers under the De- | of presentations made to them in' Rev.

Details of family and neighbor difficulties were submitted in evi- dence given in Oshawa Police Court today by James Nichols who was fined ten dollars and costs or ten days in jail on a charge laid Nov. 8, that he was intoxicated in a public place. Nichols told the court that he had been assaulted by a neighbor, whom he had not me! previously, shortly before police arrived at the corner of Bloor and Oshawa streets, where he waited for them, and was taken in custody. Walter Quigley, who has been on the wagon for a year, fell off re- cently and appeared b:fore Magis- trate Frank 8. Ebbs on a charge of being intoxicated in a public place. He was remanded for sentence on the charge and urged to keep up what seemed not altogether hope- less efforts in the direction of per- manent sobriety. William Wilson, previously con- victed of being intoxicated in a public place, appeared in police court today to face a charge of careless driving. J. P, Mangan, K.C, rep:esenting the accused, told the court that on Oct. 27, Wilson had allowed a man named Brown to drive his car on a trip which ended in an accident. Brown, it was alleged, ran away and left Wilson to face police. His con- dition at the time resulted in the intoxication charge and subse- quent conviction. Unable to find the unidentified Brown, accused was convicted and fined $10 and costs. Robert Willis, 16, Whitby, appear- ed on a charge of loaning his car to a person who had no driver's license. He was remanded for sen- tence after his worship advised that he sell his car. References were made to the youth having been in trouble be- fore, including a period at the Boys' Training School, Bowman- ville, He told the court, on question, that he had been watching his be- haviour and was now trying out for a place on a hockey team. Another defendant pleaded gullty to a first offence charge of being drunk and was fined $10 and costs. WUSSOLIN DENIES FLEET CRIPPLED BY BRITISH BLOWS (Continued from Page 1) In addition, Mr. Churchil! said, a third battleship "probably" was damaged severely, two cruisers were damaged badly, and two fleet auxiliaries were submerged.) The Italian premier prefaced his statement on the Taranto rald by saying: "A strong people like the Italians does not fear the truth--it de- mands it. For this reason, he claimed, Ital- fan military communiques record "not only the blows we give but also those we receive." He congratulated the Italians on the spiriy with which they bore war-imposed sacrifices, then warn- ed: "These sacrifices so far are tol- erable, but they may become more severe." Mussolinl told his party chiefs that Italian losses in Greece were 372 killed, 1,081 wounded and 650 missing. "They will be revenged * he shout- ed, "for whatever happens, 1 will never turn back." "We have 1,000,000 men under arms, and we could call 8,000,000 more." Mussolini began his speech with a furious attack on Britain which he claimed was exclusively to blame for the war. The preparation for war began when the League of Nations impos- ed economic sanctions on Italy five years ago for the Invasion of Ethio- pla, he said. The peace still could have been preserved, he declared, "if England had not rejected every one of Ger- many's attempts at rapproche- ment." It could have been saved, he add- ed, if Britain had not adopted a program of "encirclement" of Ger many and if Britain, in response to Mussolini's last-minute attempt to forestall war after the Polich inva- sion had begun, had not imposed "humiliating conditions thay Ger- man troops should withdraw from the Polish soil." Turning * to the war against Greece, Mussolini. said that the Greeks "hate Italy as no other peo- ple," although: the reason is a mystery." The Greek foreign poliey in re- cent years was based on this hatred, he charged, describing it as a policy of "absolute complicity with Great Britain." Papers allegedly found by the German general staff in France, he declared, showed that Greece had offered the Allies all its: air and naval bases since last May. "The rough mountaine of Epirus and its muddy valleys donot lend themselves to lightning war," he explained. "I do not believe 4t worth my trouble to deny all the news given by the Greek propaganda and its English loudsveake's. "That Julia Alpine Division which was Supposed to have suffered en- ormous losses, fled and been pul- verized by the Greeks, was seen by General Soddu, who after his visit, telegraphed me Nov. 12 . | . "I went this morning to visit the Julia Alpine Division and must re- port a magnificent impression was brought back from this superb unit stronger than ever in its Alpine "With absolute certainty I tell you we will break Greece's back. Whether in two months or 12 months, it little matters ; "The war has barely begun, We have men gnd means to annihilate all Greek resistance. The English otherwise, means not to know me, aid cannot prevent the accomplish- ment of this most firm proposal, "We have 1,000,000 men under arms but we can call 8,000,000 more if nec . Germans and Italians together, we are a bloe of 150,000,- 000, resolute, compact and firm from Norway to Libya. "This bloc already has victory in its grip." SPAIN JOINS AXIS PLOTTERS' MEET ATBERCHTESGADEN (Continued from Page 1) ed out, always have conferred im- mediately after conferences with third parties. Informed sources said that Ciano besides learning all about Moloto!f's visit at first hand also can bring first hand information to German leaders on Mussolini's talks last week with Rumanian chief of state General Ion Antonescu. Ribbentrop met both visitors, Serrano Suner n the Berchtesgaden staton and Cano at Salzburg. The No, 1 soldiers of Italy and Germany -- Marshal Badoglio and Genear] Keitel -- and their staffs were reported to have concluded talks in Innsbruck only recently and were said in diplomatic quart- ers to be waiting in Vienna with complete military plans. (There was no government con- firmation of the reports, of the meeting from Rome or Berlin, but the German commentary Dienst Aus Deutschland said Nazi leaders would confer shortly with Serrano Suner and referred to the recent visit to Berlin by Russia's Premier Molotoff, with the comment that "other political actions by Germany and Italy" would follow. Dispatches from Rome said it was likely Italy would be represent- ed at any such conference and hinted that Axis plans to counter- act any British efforts to gain a foothold in West Africa might be considered). Diplomats said they considered the scene was set for a move on Gibraltar, Travellers from Spain reported 'most Spanish motorized forces to be in Spanish Morocco, A five-car caravan of German of- ficial photo and press experts -- said to be the same who filmed and reported the Nazi drive througn the low countries and France--was reported to be installed at La Linea for developments. g Berne, Switzer] , Nov. 18 (AP). --Diplomatic q rs reported that Axis chieftains pnd Spain's foreign minister were expected to meet in Vienna today to put the final mili- taay and diplomatic touches on plans for an attempted squeeze play the Medterranean through Gib. Re and Greece. These sources asid they believed the plans called for an assault through Spain on the British fort- ress which guards the western en- trance to the Mediterranean andy for a German drive through Bul- garia to outflank and crush the Greeks. Marshal Goering was reported to be in Vienna already and Spanish Foreign Minister Ranon Serrano Suner was sald to be en route there from Paris after a conference with French Vice-Premier Pierre Laval. German Foreign Minister Ribben- trop was listed as another possible conferee and Rome announced the departure of Italian Foreign Mini- ster Ciano for Germany last night There was no clarification of the part Spain would play -- whether she would enter the fight actively or merely permit German troops to use Spanish soil. Germany for months has made little secret of troop concentra- tions in the Bordeaux-Blarritz ares Just north of the Spanish frontier, The scene also was set on the other end of the Mediterranean, where Italy's war on Greece, seen as one step in the axis effort to drive the British out of Italy's "mare nostrum," was meeting stub- born opposition. The Innsbruck conferences be. tween Badoglio and Keitel were believed in diplomatic quarters to concern not only German aiq to Itay against Greece but the whole Mediterranean campaign, Balkan reports published in the Italian press asserted Bulgaria was massing troops on the Thracian frontier. There lies the Aegean outlet which the Bulgars have wanted ever since they lost it at the end of the first great war, Ankara dispatches talked of ur. kish neutrality and led many ob. servers to believe that Turkey would not contest a joing German- Bulgarian drive into Greece, so long as Turkey herself were not attack. ed.
