the georgetown herald wednesday evening may 1 4th 1941 hat aocwt toe chaixkngg or perish sajfs dorothy thompson dorothy thompson was tendered one of the greatest ovations ever given a woman when she spoke in toronto recently she is fine tapranking woman journalist and lecturer on the continent and te internationally known for her keen insight into vorld affairs and the uncanny accuracy with which she predicts the totalitarian programme of ruthless aggression she is no less well known as a friend of britain and has used all her influence to stir opher fellow americans to a full realisation of their peril and their responsibilities tftdl greyhaired and very handtome mis thompson is now 7 but looks much younger perhaps because she has such a buoyant magnetic personality she is a powerful and eloquent speaker her platform man ner is delightful but though she uses efll the arts of the bora actress to dramatise her subject no one hearing her could douhfner sincerity or her belief m democracy as a living creed at a mn reception held afterwards in her honour the writer of this column nl the pleasure of being presented to miss thompson and will long remember her warm n and friendly smile the theme of her storing address was democracy in 1m1 we p are feeing she p not the test of arms but he test of whether we are worthy to survive hitler cannot destroy us he can only connive that we destroy ourselves in the anglo saxon world there are 300000000 people if we act as one people without regard to race or creed or economic conditions noth ing in this world can destroy us and whoever attempts to do so will be destroyed jf we desire isolation we shall have it the isolation of a prison puny penned up while hostile nations do their best their vicious ftot oxganhed sdadmned ruthless best to destroy us from inside by an internecine fight miss thompson understands the fundamental rehgious character of the present struggle she believes a world revolution is taking place she says we should abandon such false slogans as the one we are de fending our way of life a great wave of dissatisfaction and unrest has swept over the entire universe and there is a growing feeling there is ffpmffog wrong in a world that chokes to death on surplus commodities but in all the turmoil and discontent there is something divine the passionate desire of men and women for a better life a better we of body of mind and of soul a better world to live in if we try to oppose hitter with a defence of this way of life we shall certainly fail but the new order will not be nazism nor oommun ian the wave of the future will be democracy federation common wealtn freedom equality the exact amount of our effort today will ae- teimine in exact drooortion the world of tomorrow t t t t that dorothy thompson is held in equally high esteerr in her own country was amply shown at a testimonial dinner in her hoi our held at the hotel astor new york city last week it was sponsored by a com rtnlttee of prominent citizens in recognition of the distinguished and un forgettable service she has unfailingly rendered her own country and de mocracy messages were read from churchill roosevelt and mackenzie king mr sara delano roosevelt presented her with a bust by jo davidson in accepting it miss thompson said i have heard myself described on the german radio as enemy no 1 of hitlerism in america and looking at mr davidsons conception of me i can believe it he has chiselled into my features the wistful indignation that falters too often in my real heart a strength of purdose which i only sometimes feel and a vision at i very rarely glimpse in the address which fallowed miss thompson listed the 10 articles of her own personal and social faith her anwer to the search for a bet ter life the summing up of 18 years of gradual slow dawning expert race it is one of the finest statements of practical democratic ideals ever formulated and should be studied carefully by everyone who has the des tiny of the world at heart were all taxpayers now the new usley budget was a bit of a jolt to the canadian public but it would have rocked canada from ocean to ocean if it had been oug gested even two years ago passed at a time when our attention was fooussed on a series of swiftmoving worldetirrlng events lbs impu cations evoked but little comment from the average citizen the remark most often heard is this we do not mind scrimping to pay heavy taxes if we can be sure the money really goes for necessities of war but we should bate to have it wasted or spent on nonessentials or to nne the pockets of some chlseler there has been a certain dissatisfaction in some quarters with the governments war effort but mr ralston cleared up a lot of tmsunder standings when in a recent address he gave us a detailed account of what canada is doing her armed strength in the different services the pro gress of the air training plan the rapidly increasing production of ships transport equipment guns chemicals and ammunition mr menzies has said this war will not be won by the defeatist neither will it be won by the man who sits in easy and idle optimism who says we will win we always do it is useless to mlnlmlm the im minent peril in which britain beleaguered on all sides finds herself nor the desperate odds she is facing nor her great need for planes and ships and men and equipment but we cannot all be in the armed forces nel ther can we all be engaged in war industries we can however make the greatest contirbution possible in the sphere in which we find ourselves we can all be on the alert to do any war job that comes our way and we can fit ourselves for greater usefulness when needed on housewives largely will fall the burden of reshaping the house hold budget to fit in with the new tax levy economies will have to be practiced in some cases the whole standard of living altered but despite these necessary sacrifices the canadian people will still be much better off than most other peoples of the world in any case whatever the price of victory may be it is lower then the cost of defeat let me remind you let not thy creations be too expensive lest the pain of purchasing them exceed the pleasure thou hast in their enjoyment tibetan book review how america lives by j c pumas and the staff of the ladles home journal oxford press 3 00 haven t you always been curious about how the other half of the world lives in the little house across the tracks in the big house i up on the hill in how america lives you are given a true and intimate picture of the everyday life of 16 representative families in the united states you are told what they eat what they wear what they worry about their problems their joys their sorrows how they make their money how they spend it how they bring up their children you are told too how they love ftrf quarrel and what they dream about how they spend their lets ore what they read what their hobbles are there are families belonging to the privileged classes farmues of average means there is one family on relief and a sharecropper with 17 children trying to live on king cotton in every case their story is told without glossing over facts or resorting to false sentimentality one of the conclusions reached is that money seems to be the great est source of trouble in the american family jealousy infidelity and drinking au take second place but on the average americans are a good people surprisingly modest in their demands upon life and willing to work to achieve what they want it is no haphazard picture of american life based upon guesswork that you are presented with but authentic facts based upon careful in vesugauon and study over a year ago the staff of the ladles home oo the worlds news seen through the

as a pharisee he yma taught to think of himself as an hebrew of the hebrew his jewish nationalism was stressed and when he received roman citizen ship he took pride in that also his religious training did not make htm catholic in his sympathies but section al and nationalistic as the christian movement gathered strength he did not investigate it impatrtiaqly his mind was made up at once he would resist this innovation and seek to put it down he was so convinced that he was right that he was ready to use cruel methodnm persecution is it possible that modern methods of education should produce similar re sults of superiority and prejudice children who are taught to worship blood and soil will doubtless develop narrowness and bigotry the chris tian religion is a powerful force in teaching the practice of understand ing and sympathy christ convicts us of our sin and makes us much mare considerate towards other people a dramatic experience 35 the story of sauta conversion is brief but in a few sentences the tumul tuous experience is described saul set out from damascus as a resolute persecutor but when he entered the dty he was a meek disabled man led by the hand saul started out vindictive towards christ but after his experience on the damascus road he was a bond slave of christ saul was armed with authoritative official docu ments to persecute christians only to discover that he was actually persecut ing christ there are many modern examples of conversion in which there has been crisis and dramatic change similar to that of saul certain per sons who have been resisting religion and fighting cod have been trans- farmed in spite of themselves they give god the glory but their neigh bourn are soon aware of the change not everyone has a dramatic conver sion such as saul had many people grow into the christian life gradual ly yet their christian faith is real and their growth in christian spirit is evident asking for action 6 s sauls first question was lord what wilt thou have me to do evi dently saul was a man of such pro minence in the pharisaic society that he expected some responsible commls slon instead he was told to go into the dty of damascus on faith there to receive further marching orders the great scholar and leader of the pharisaic party was led into the dty by the hand fur three days he was blinded and could not eat or drink it was a deep humiliation for this proud and haughty man but he ut tered no word of complaint he had first of all to learn the lesson of humble obedience later he was to re gain great authority but only after he had won a victory through discip line and self surrender many of the great leaders of the church have pass ed througlta time of preparation and lowliness such as paul had to under go the man who trusts himself and wishes to manage his own life cannot give the fullest service to christ when christ enters the heart he comes to reign a heslunt helper 10 14 ananias had nothing of the genius of saul yet he served a useful pur pose at one stage in the career of the great apostle he was told to go to visit saul naturally enough he drew back from going to see a man who had earned a reputation of cruelty as a persecutor ananias feared that saul might be working a ruse upon the christians this hesitant helper finds a place among a number of men who were helpers of the great missionary barnabas befriended paul luke be came his travelling companion silas and timothy and john mark gave him great assistance it is seldom that ft4 cyu u3 fruc ftyjwj martinsenour 2 jituatl en

statesmen or scientists without the cooperation of humbler helpers one man may get the glory and publicity but in the background there are people who are willing to serve in a humbler place the work of a great leader is made possible only by the loyalty of his followers a man of destiny 15 16 at last ananias was convinced and he went bearing a message of hope and guidance to saul little did he know what a great destiny awaited the man he was helping he could not foresee the letters that saul would write the missionary journeys that he would take the inspiration that he would give to thinkers and saints the number of churches that would be named after him the spiritual influ ence that this blinded man would ex ert throughout the christian centur ies tjying back we can see clearly that saul was a man of destiny his thinking clarified the gospel for the jews but his greatestappeal was to the gentiles saul was specially chos en for a great task but he was never promised happiness his way was one of hardship and suffering facing pain and persecution shipwreck taprison- ment and martyrdom saul sought no glory for himself his whole purpose was to bring glory to the christ who
