ORONO WARTIME MIRACLES IN BRITAIN (Another in a series of articles written by W. R. Legge and C. V. Charters, who rcpresentcd the Canadlian Weekly Newspapers As- sociations in a recent tour over- seas). (By Walter R. Legge) "There are miracles around us on cvery hand, but in this ma- terialistie age we do not recog- nize tbemn as such," was the re- mark passed during a conversation with an officer in England. The truth of this rcmark becomes more and more apparent when travel- ling in Britain today. In those dark days of 1940, how often was there the thought that God must have forsaken us, yet even in those darkest hours mir- acles were being performed. It was a miracle that the Ger- mans did not invade England im- mediately after Dunkirk; it was a miracle that Hitler attacked Rus- sia instead of England, the defence of the Battle of Britain was mir'- aculous. Probably the greatcst miracle of ail was the rescue of the nearly 400,000 from Dunkirk. Few peo- pie realize the miracle that made this rescue possible. When the editors visited Maidenhead one day, they saw a number of small MR&.J. H. LUBERTEnv ie pfeeling &te.

At the camp of the No. 1 General Canadian Rein- forcement Unit, they had a prize isplay of potatoes, tomatoes, car- rots, onions, beans, beets, and .irnips which thcy had grown Lere. Last year, they said, there r: a ti si si fi gi c il ei ni ai al oi Ns fi di rc tF tI NÉ à irWS boats that made many trips acros the Channel to bring back that army. Similar boats were shown tin the film, "Mrs. Miniver," wben that epic was portrayed. Thuse littie boats could not pas- sibly bave iived in a mough sea, and the English Channel is scîdom smootb. In fact, it is famous as ane of the mast turbulent stretcbes of watcr in the wvonld. Yet wher these littie boats made those trips ta Dunkirk and back, the water was smooth. We were told thal 1men who bave lived ail their lives beside the Channel say that they neyer saw it as smootb as it was then. Surely that was a miracle to equal the passage of the Israelites through the Red Sea. It is frequentiy remarkcd thal the way in which St. Paui's Cath- edral in London escaped total destruction is a miracle. There is no doubt that the Germans tried bard ta dcstmoy it. The bomb dam- age araund this cathedrai includes some of the worst in England. It is one of the first places visited by strangers looking for badiy damaged areas. Evenything is de- malished for many blocks ail araund. The cathedral now tow- ens up in plain view~ fromn angles, wbereas it fonmerly was closcly surroundcd by buildings. The climb up to the gallery out- side the dame is about 650 steps, but the effort is well wontb while. Fnom this elevation theme is the -most comprebensive view of the widcspmead damage in that part 0f London. It impresses anc more and more with the conviction that the way in wbicb St. Paul's bas escaped destruction is really a miracle. It did not escape entimcly, how- ever. Two bombs actualiy struck the building and anotner was mc- moved fromn the grounds just out- side befome it cxploded. The first bomb struck just aven the High Aitar and brought down blocks of masonmy weighing from aonc ta two tons. These entirely destroy- cd thc Altar and the pavement. The second bomb feul in the nortb transept and wcnt ight tbrough the roof and the floor into the cnypt; but again the damage was campamatively small, although the walls of the nortb transept are now four inches out of plumb, and beams have been placed ta prevent funther mavement. When tac area around the cath- edral is studied, and the bombs which feil on it taken into con- sideration, it is no wondcm that evcryanc remarks that it is a miracle that St. Paul's is still standing. Viscount Halifax bas said, speaking of St. .PauI's: "Two ycams ago it was hemmed in by offices, shops and commercial buildings of every kind. Ail these bave now crumbled ino dust and ashes under Nazi bombs, and today St. Paul's stands, as it shauld stand, clean, majestic, its great cross of gold above the city sharp-cut against thc sky. Surely there is something symbolic in taat. The confused mass of buildings bas gone, tac rubbish bas gone, but what meally matters memains." The viciaus raids on the peace- fui city of Bath where theme weme no war industries or anything of military value will neyer bc for- gotten. These raids which took place in April, 1942, destroycd many fine and historic buildings. Yet during those raids 92 bombs feli in gardens or open spaces wbere thcy did littie damage. We were told this whiie looking aven' the City fromn Beachen Cliff, and it did not semr possible taat 92 projectiles could have found open spaces. Surely this was another miracle. At Bristol, as in many othen Cities, there are numbers of mir- acles ta be seen. Bristol Catbed- raI stands practically unscathed, although buildings ail around have been damagcd. Our hotel, next doar ta it, lost 100 rooms. St. Mary Redcliffe cburch, of which Queen Elizabeth in 1574 ;aid, "The fairest, goodliest, and iiost famous panish cburch in England," bas also had a minacu- lous escape fromn serious damage whbile buildings aIl around it have been battered beyond recognition.
