British Pacifist Now Belligerent \ v Dr. A. Maude Royden Would Like to Fight If She Were a Man Dr. A. Maude 'Royden, England's famous woman preacher who was a fighting pacifist in the last war, 1s apacifist no longer. "Mind you I was not sent by the Government," she said, following her arrival in New York from Eng. 4 land for a TECIUTE tour in the United States, "1 was invited by the churches here. I say what 1 please. 1 am not trying to win over other pacifists, "I think war is $0 appalling 1 would not with the tip-of my finger push any natfon into it, "I worked hard for the pacifist is no wonder church attendance has fallen off, and it hag." She said she believed the war had increased spirituality in Eng- Aand if not church attendance, "lI imagine our churches and ca- thedrals will in the future continue to serve for acts of worship at great moments, as when we prayed for the men at Dunkirk, and for marriages and burials. But spiritu- ality will be cultivated "in little groups, with everyone taking part in discussions." s WALTER'S PIGEON Of course, that Tandsonis fellow is Screen Star Walter Pidgeon, His equally eye-catching partner is his daughter, - Edna, dancing with dad in New York. Not a Letter Lost Not one letter has been lost of the thirteen and a half million flown between England and Lis- ~--------------bon-in-the last year by the British TT Overseas Airways Corporation. Seaplanes and airplanes have safely covered 750,000 miles with 4,000 passengers, and neither war nor weather has caused the serv- ice to change its time table since it opened in 1939.

This time, it | were a man, I'd fight." Dr. Royden, who is 63, spoke her convictions in a firm voicp at a" pross conference, She abanoned her pacifist stand, sho sald, alter g long struggle with her conscience. . "1 concluded that gince" we had not faith enough to stop the march of evil, we'd have to resort to other means, even war," she said, Pr. Royden eriticized - churches freely and "so-called Christians" freely, saying they were not doing their part to lay pf to itinny / of a just and lasting peace. She is the only woman the Church of England ever licensed f to preach, yet today she said she VHA questioned the value of church ser: RIT vices as now conducted by all 0) 3 churches, including her own. "It is tiresome to hear a man lay down the law," she said." "It ! SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON 21 PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--~We do not know when Psalms 103 and 107 were written. The Sermon on the Mouit was delivered in the summer of A.D. 28, Our- Lord offered His great intercessory prayer on/ Thursday night, April 6, A.D. 30. The Epls tfés to the' Ephesians and Philip plans were. written in 64 A.D, the First Epistle to thq Thessalonians 'was "written in 54 "A.D, and the First Epistle of Johu approxims te: ly 95 A.D. Place. - The two Psalms of our lesson were probably written in or pear Jerusalem; the Sermon on 'the Mount was delivered uot far from the City of Capernaum. The intercessory prayer of our Lord was offered in Jerusalem. Ephesus was a great city of the province of Asia; Philippi and Thessalonica were cities of Mace- donia (northern Greece). The First Epistle of John may have been written from the city of Ephesus, Hypocrites Denounced "5. "And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may he seon of men. Verily 1 say unto you, they have received thelr reward." We "need not suppose that the Pharisees went out into the streets to say their prayers, but that, when they were in a public place at the hour of prayer, they were osten- tatious in performing their devo- tions. They were glad to be seen praying, and chose a conspicuous place. As in alms giving it is not the being seen, but the wish to be seen, as to be seen In order to be admired that is condemned. Of all hypocrisies, that of pretend. ing to have intercourse with God, and of making a parade of such intercourse' is one of the worst. Christ, of course, does not con- demn public worship; it is saying private prayers in needless pub- licity, in order to gain a repu- tation for special sancity, that is denounced. Pray In Secret 6. "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth -in_ secret shall recompense thee." They rea- son we are to be alone Is that we might pour out our heart without - the restraining influence that is bound to be present when others are near by. When we pray in secret, we are interested in noth ing but pleading with God. 7. "And in praying use not vain repetitions; as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8. Be not, therefore, like unto' them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, be- fore ye ask him." Just as Christ does not condemn public prayer, but praying in public in order to win esteem, so here he does not condemn all repitition in prayer. We repeat supplications, not:=in order to secure God's attention, but in order to secure our own attention. God is always ready to listen to his children's needs; but they are not always_ attending to what they say when they bring their needs_before him. The Lord's Prayer 9. "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name." In calling God our Father we imply that we are his children. There- fore, we have a relationship to him. In this relationship we" are to be ever sanctifying.hls name. We. do so by ever remembering God is holy, and then by so living that he himself is revealed as. a Holy God in our life. 10. "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, as In Heaven, so on earth." A 'Kingdom implies at least two Tfactors, -an area over which the Kingdom rules, and a _. King who is sovereign. The King: dom of God on earth fs the domain . In which God's holy wlll is done in and among men, We enter this Kingdom by -- repentenance, by faith, by new birth, 11, "Give us this day our dally bread." Bread: is an absolute ne- cessity -of life. We are not here asking for delicacies but for that -yvery elemental material by which we 'may live, in the simplest hut most vital way. 12. "And forgive us.our debts, as we also have forgiven our, deb tors." All transgressions of duty are debts to him, and we need his forgiveness for them not in order to escape the ponalties of "our wrong doing, but in order that the loving relationghip between Father and child may be restored, We must cultivate a spirit of forgive. ness towards those who seem to have wronged us, before we ven: ANTS nn 1 FIN ¥ Preis More than 600 pilots of the Royal Australian Air Force and the Rope] New Zealand Air Force arrived in San Francisco abogrd the SS. Mariposa on their way to a Canadian training' field, and eventually to the European air front. re Here a group of them cheerfully give good luck signs, ture to claim forgiveness for our selves. 12. "And bring us not into tem: tation, but deliver us from the evil one." Of course this prayer" would nover be prayed except by one who desired to do the will of God. People do not pray to be kept from - the evll one, when they have de liberately chosen to live a life of sin. ' 14. "For it ye forgive not men thelr trespasses neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." The facts that this alone of all the topics of the prayer is taken up a second time, ouglit to Impress upon us very deeply the import: ance of forgiving if we wish to be forgiven. Pray Without Ciasiig 16. "Rejoice always." Joy springs from the possession of present good. It is an intense delight in God's - presence_and in fellowship with him. ; 17. "Pray without ceasing; 18. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God an Christ Jesus to you-ward." Our true aim must not be to work much, and have prayer enough to keep the work right, but _té*pray mich and. then work en- ough for the power and blessing obtained in prayer to find its way through us to me. Christ is surety for our praying without ceasing. Christ teaches to pray by showing how he does it, by leading us to do it In him and like him. In the experience of our union with him, praying without ceasing becomes a possibility, the holiest part of --our fellowship with God. Italians Produce 'Ruins' to Order Italians are producing histori- cal monuments to order, judging by the published handbooks on air raid precautions in that coun- try' which have reached Britain. Here are some camouflage hints they contain: A line of power cable pylons can be made to re- semble the ruined arches of a Roman aqueduct. A small reser- voir can look like a country church, complete with campanile 'and "bells" visible from the air.

J. W. Jean has obtained final patents on the method he develop- ed In a machine shop laboratory. He says tests of his synthetic fuel have shown it has an octane rating of 98.7 comparable to aviation gas- oline, and that it has developed 26 per cent more mileage than the petroleum "fuel. 523 The raw material first is ferment- ed into alcohol and then converted into a synthetic hydrocarbon. To produce butyl alcohol cheaply, it was 'necessary to: develop an un- patented bacterian. He met the problem by isolating one from po- tato peelings. One hundred. end fifty tons of bagasse or sugar cane waste, he said, can be converted into 9,875 gallons of motor fuel, 66,160 pounds, -of -carbon dioxide for dry ice, 2,700 pounds of hydrogen gas from which synthetic alcohol can be produced, and 50 tons of humus for the soil. By-products include salts, which, when blended with fertilizer, provide a high nitrogen, content. When the fuel is produced from garbage, @ superior lubricant is developed, Among materials from which the fuel can be produced, Jean sald, are molasses, sawdust and shav- ings, waste from paper and sugar mills, old . newspapers, potatoes, fruit, nuts and nut shells, and sec. ond and third cotton crops, seldom harvested, including the entire cot: ton plant. : The Gentle Hun!
