Confidence Fear is the outcome of chaos and war: Confidence follows law and or- "lder. Confidence is the corner stone upon which our present civilization ig built. It is strange -but civiliza- tion as we know it was based on the advent of the Christian era. Wien that was ushered in the world was in a terrible shape, Wars and rumours of wars were all that men had known for centuries. One dynasty followed another in rapid succession until the Nazarene introduced His reign of Peace and Goodwill, The men who were most closely associated with Him felt that they had found someone Who would bestow upon them something that all men craved. After three years of unselfish devotion He was done to death: the hopes of His fol- lowers faded as rapidly as they had risen. Then His remarkable re-ap- pearance after death brought back that confidence with which He had in- spired them when He had first intro= duced His grand ideals. No matter what happened to His followers nothing could uproot the lofty principles which He had plant- ed in them, Loss of property, liber- ty, homes or position made no dif- ference to them. At first the authori- ties tried to beat it out of them by persecution, martyrdom and shame, but the germs had been instilled in them so successfully that eveh death itself could not separate them from the deep devotion to their Lord. ~ The Roman Empire was in full swing those days and Constahtine the Great in 313 had become impressed by the Sign of the Cross and he took it for his conquering slogan so that that despised symbol became' the bulwark of our civilization as we know it, 'What would we ever "do without confidence? - Without it our high state could not be carried on. A per- son makes a promise and because of your faith fn him, your confidence in his word, billions of people's money changes hands, If you feared your neighbor and did not honour his word, you would do little or no business with him, You-would revert to a state of barter once more, and our civilization would-go-back 1000 years, Our pre- "| always going to be on the scaffold, nor place because a certain' Man twenty | centuries ago made certain promises sent high state of existence has taken and those who followed Him have had no reason to doubt His wotd. Today all hell is let loose. You hear 80 much about the superman and what he will do with religion. Truth is not long lane that has no turning. This wrong forever on the throne. It is a world is not going back, it is going forward. . - When that superman - Napoleon learned 'that the Russian peasants were flocking to the churches seeking Divine protection as he invaded their country he disdainfully exclaimed: "God is on the side of the biggest bat- talions," As much as to say that heaven that could check his progress or prove a match for thg choicest army that he com we There was, h ever, ally that ep his enemies in their hour of need that he had failed to calculate. It was the intense cold and rigours of the Russian winter that caused him to return from Moscow. When he saw the devastation that the winter had created and surveyed the long trail of frozen corpses on his line of retreat, it is said that he mur- mured: "God Almighty has been too much for me'! None of us know what the end of this terrible conflict is going to be. as these gangsters are trying in in- augurate, these years of peace and progress pirates such as glorified Dillengers or Jessie James will be in contiol; such ness and under the control of the Heavens will laugh at their day of calamity. : : JOSEPH DENNY.
