Norman Elliott Rodger, of Ottawa, a mem- ber of the General Staff, said in London recently. Al that stood between the Ger- man "and - yictory provided they succeeded in landing on Britain in force was the fully-equipped -Canadian 1st Division and the bat- tered remnants of the Hritish troops brought back home over the Channel. Instead, Rodger sald, the Nazis struck southward into France and lost their, chance. - All the while, the Canadians, shufilled out of most actions by accident, were anxious to get at the enemy. Ready for Invasion The British saved 335,000 men in the Dunkirk evacuation which ended on June 4, 1940, but failed . to get their equipment home. Tho Canadians, only mobile division left on the island, was fanned out next to the coast to be ready for an expected invasion that didn't come. By September, four months later,! the Germans couldn't have made it through the British Navy and the British land defences, Rodger sald. - This ¥anadian division has be- come the Empire's "waiting army." Long-trained, the soldiers were sent to France once to defend Paris but were withdrawn when the fall of France became appar- ent. Rodger said their part may come in the "big push"--invasion or its + equivalent. "We have been saying we'll be fn action next month, they felt the same way the next month and the next," said Jack Huffman, of Calgary, an artillery Yombardier, "Now we feel it is close upon us." More than 6,000 ot the Canadians have married since coming here. None of them has seen home for ° three years. The Canadian group has grown constantly, corps ex- panding into divisions. And they're clamoring for action, Men From Down Under Come Home Australia's Name Written Into Role of Honor of Both World Wars Except for small air and ground units still operating with the Brit- ish Eighth Army in Tunisia, the last of "the 'ard men from Down Under" have left their sand-blown graves in North Africa and have taken their glory back with them to Australia, says The New York Times. Of the Com- monwealth"s- four overseas divl- sions, the Eighth fought bilterly in Malaya, was cut off when Sin- gapore fell and had to surrender. The Sixth and Seventh served with the Eighth Army in "North Africa and were brought home to meet the Japanese threat in' New Guinea. The Ninth stayed for the hard campaigns in Egypt and Libya last autumn,' Men of the Ninth In more than three yeprs of war these big, free-striding sol- diers have added new chapters to the legend of the Australian sol- dier--dlistinguished for his cour- age and the unorthodoxy of his personal conduct. Democratic to the point of impudénce, a group lined up for formal inspection was once told by their company com- mander: "Try and look as smart as possible and, for God's sake, don't call me Alf!" The first Aus- sles to arrive in Egypt hilarlously pitched pennies at General Wavell as he waited for their transport to dock. 1 But their bravery ngs always belied their easy ways. ; In World War I they wrote Australia's name _ into the roll of honor by their gal- lantry on the, beaches at Galli- poli. In Worldswar Il they pro- _ fanely and doggedly chased Mar- ~ shal Rommel out of El Alamein. Ot such men is the Ninth Division Too Much Gas Is Big Problem A moron drove up to a service station to have his windshleld washed. The attendant asked the moron if he would like some gas for the car. - "lI don't even have a ration- book," the moron replied. "How do you keep going?" ask. ed the attendant, "Well," replled the moron, "I've leaned the carburetor down, sav- ing 20 per cent. I don't make any fast starts, that saves 80 per cent, I don't go over 25 miles an hour, that saves another 30 per cent. And I grease the wheel hearings with a special stuff that saves still | another 30 per cent. on gas." The attendant did some : ligh ning calculations. "But that makes a saving of 110 per cent," he remonstrated. "Yes, I know; that's my trou, ble," replied the moron, "My gas fank keeps overflowing all the time." dead in - British anti-tank gunners chalked up a tidy score against Rommel's forces on the southern Tunisia "front, knocking out this trio of Mark III tanks and another pair not shown.

The incid- ent however, revealed one intér- esting point. That many people when faced with what they be. lieved was a national emergency, rushed to their telephones; they did the very thing they had been to do. In any real emergency it would be imperative that civili- ans leave all possible telephone facilities for use by those organ- izing the defense mechaniem. - . . 1 humour is a much needed tonic these days and offers welcome re- of world news and discussion. One radio comedian whose Sunday evening variety half hour holds _a stellar place in entertainment circles, has apparently issued a disturbing statement. Fred Allen his let it be known in radio circles that he is contemplafing leaving the air for at least 6 months and js not prepared to say when he will return. {mpd In his own words Fred Alien says . . . "I am going to take a rest. I've been in radio for eleven years and now I'm going to sit back and relax for a while" . . . . To the average radio listener a | half hour variety show such as Fred" Allen presents every Sun- .| day evening may sound a pretty entertainment once a week, but it would be an eye opener to know how many strenuous hours of work go into the preparation of such a programme. = Each week there must be new jokes, music, dramatic incidents and the fram- ing of programme styling to suit + guest stars. Such "things are simply not just drawn out of & hat. A half hour show of this sometimes up to five or six full working days of writing and pre- paration. Then come hours of rehearsal, From one Sunday pro- gramme to another it's a steady grind into which must be sand- wiched many other personal ap- pearance shows. ft is rumoured that Fred Allen may switch to Hollywood for a while, Here's hoping the lure of the screen will not prevent his return to the air- waves next fall. We need all the good clicer that's possible these otherwise drab wartime days. L Ll .

John 15:13. Memory Verse: unto Jehovah; for Psalm 136:1, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.-- April, A.D. 30. 2 - Place.----The Sea of Galilee. Jesus Questions Peter "So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to" Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, yea, Lord; thou know- est that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs." There was a time, not many days be- fort this, when Peter was boast. ing of how loyal he was to the Lord Jesus, but all of his boast. ing proved vain and cimapty, Christ wants fo know from Peter's own lips whether Peter really and truly now loves the Lord and Master. 0 give thanks he is good. Peter's Grief "He saith to him again tho second tiwe; Simon, son of John, lovest thon me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. Me saith unto him, tend my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Sinion, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thon me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest alt things; thop knowest that I love: thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep." The address of the Lord, throes repeated, veealls the fret words addressed to St. Peter received they sarname Ce (Petey. The three questions could not but yeeall the three denials; and the form of this last question could net bat vividly bring back the thought of the failure of personal devotion at the moment of rind. So Peter was grieved not only that the guess tion was put again, but that this third time the- ed; that the only put once same time put doubt whether he could indeed rightly claim that modified love which he had professed. His grief lay=in the decp:sonse that such a doubt might well be suggested by the past, even if it were at the same time ungrounded. Men might reasonably distrust his pro- fession of sincerity after his fall, but he appealed to the Lord using the words 'thou knowest." _-_Pfophecy of Suffering "Verily, verily, 1 say unto thee, when thou wast young, thou girvd- est thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldst not. Now this he spake, signifying by what man- ner of death he should glorify God: And when he had spoken this, he, saith unto him, follow me.' This solemn prophecy of retin is closely connected with the joy of love and restora- tion. In one way or another it will surely be thus with every true disciple of our Saviour. To each of us without exception He will assign some cross to bear for Him; to each He-will" say, in one way or another, 'If vou love Me, serve Me; and you shall suf- phrase question again, but at was chang not the was SO as fer for Me. Peter's Responsibility "Peter, turning about, secth lowing; who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, lord, who is he that betrayeth thee? Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me." .. What needs to be emphasized in our Lord's answer is that He tells Peter that John's course of life and his destiny are matters with which Peter has no need to concern himself. If God has a different carcer for John that is 'not Peter's concern. Peter him- self is an individual with a direct responsibility to God, -and he must decide his course of action as a personal matter between God and when he the disciple whom Jesus loved fol- | to raise a © itself to us must be decided upon directly by ourselves, science and God. Jesus' Will Made Clear "This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that ign should not die; yet our con- Jesus saiddnot unto him, that he hsould ndt die; but, If T will that he' tarry till I come, to thee?' ~ Only when Peter was actually crucified in the year 61, was the pfophecy spoken by Jesus con- cerning his martyrdom fully and positively understood. So with John -- the event would finally make clear just what the Lord's will concerning him was, The statement here made, therefore, means only one thing: it calls upon all to wait till such time as the Lord Himself will make plain what His will concerning John is. In Peter's case, Jesus pronounced an actual prophecy; in John's he declined a' prophecy, and left John's career and cnd wholly in the secrecy of His will. A Courageous Peter "This is the disciple that bear- eth witness of these things, and wrote these things: an! we know that his witness is true." Peter did not know that he had come to one of the great crises of his life, and that from this time on he would be an altogether dif- ferent man. He had leard the Lord entrust to him a nore sols emn task than ever the Lord had previously designated as Ios life work. He had even neard that day thathe was to die a martyr, crucified as the Lord hud been crucified for him.
