It is an admoniâ€" tion to the Statesmen, leaders and citizens, whese job it is to prepare for and preserve a lasting peace. & The hour, day and place of my meeting this remarkable stranger I will not reveal, for they are inciâ€" dental and nonâ€"essential, but the stranger is important! His very presence suggested nol'yilit{l and his speech mental grandeur. His voice was deep and resonant, his eyes lustrous and penetrating and when he smiled there emanted from his forceful personality a radiance so compelling and charming that it drew one into a warm and intimate circle of fine friendship.

WESTON I wondered who this stranger might be, but hesitated to appear curious, but emboldened by his geniality said: "Sir, you are evidently a stranger here, would you mind telling me whence you came." To my astonishâ€" ment he replied: "Forsooth, I might describe myâ€" self as a neighbor, for I come from Mars, which you must know is the first planet outside the orbit of your earth!" "Mars" Ithought! How wonderâ€" ful it would be to hold converse with a visitor from that distant planet and perchance obtain the stranger‘s reaction to our civiliâ€" zation, so I said: "Would you mind telling me about Mars and its people and how our mode of life compares with yours." The stranger replied: "I have come to learn about your world and my allotted time is brief and fleeting." _ _ _ _ . Then I said: "Sir, you have come to this world at an unfortunate time for we are distraught and disâ€" organized after years og total war." "Tell me about it," he suggested. So I gave him sketchilly the saâ€" lient facts, starting with the ruthâ€" less attack by Japan on China. _ less attack by Japan on Uhina, "Ah! the Chinese," remarked the stranger. "A highly cultural peoâ€" ple whose roots of: refinement started in antiquity!" . _ "I suppose," he added, "that the peace loving nations of your world immediately went to the aid of China!" _ + Aes es "No Sir, I regret to say that, whilst many nations sympathised with China and made lofty deâ€" clarations of their feelings, others were most interested in disposing if their oil and scrap metal to Japan where it. was utilized to inâ€" tensify their war ‘ngginst"C}:ina." _ I felt humiliated as I was forced to reply. _ _ oc "About a decade later" I conâ€" tinued, "another covetqus country seeing the ease with which lands and wealth were stolen by war mongers from lovers of peace, decided to seize ETHOPIA." . I "Now, surely the noble nations of the world came to the assistance of this little eastern people of ancient lineage," exclaimed the stranger. I was really mortified as I replied, "Sir would that I could declare the Ethopia was saved from the rapacious : clutches of the vile aggressor but the truth is that the nations of the world gathered in solemn conclave and passed motions of sympathy with Ethiopia and severely censured the despoiler, then like the Pharisee, passed on the other side and watched Italian Troops ravage Ethiopia, kill its defenceless people and finally ‘(])c%uapy the Heritage of the Lion of uda." "Time Passes" I continued, "then noting how easily China and Ethiopia had been despoiled whilst pleading vainly for succor, Gerâ€" many planned to conquer the world, attacking one country at a time. The smaller countries were quickly overpowdered and finally France fell and Britain stood alone to thwart the onâ€"rushing hordes! BLOODY BUT UNBOWED!" "Ah," murmured the stranger "that precious stone set in the silver sea, whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege" That‘s England, never did nor ever shall lie at the proud foot of a conquerer." L "Yes indeed," he . answered, "Shakespeare was too great a man to belong exclusively to any one age or world. His. genius was immortal and his influence transcended your world and was shared by the citizens of Mars." "So Britain stood alone and bore the shock" I continued, ‘"and, whilst guarding her own ramparts, sent help to other peoples who had been wantonly attacked." _ "Then from Britain‘s far flung empire came its fighting sons to stem the Hunnish attack. Finally the United States joined the fray and fought side by side with Britain. Each nation had a doâ€" minent leader around whom the people rallied." _ _ “:;W}-IS("‘Sir, you quota Shake speare" I exclaimed in surprise. . "In England that mas was Winâ€" ston Churchill, a dynamic and fearâ€" less champion of freedom who inspired his rugged race with a valor and determinaton that enabled them to defy bombs and destruction and stand adamant and unconquered to the end." â€" "In the United States the illusâ€" trious leader was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a man as strong in heart and mind as he was handicapped of body. About a year before he died he grouped the hopes and aspirâ€" ations of our nations in a decalogue he ‘ormed "The Four Freedoms." These were, Freedom From Want .. crceaom rrom Fear. . Freedom of Speech. . Freedom of Worship." "A truly great foursome" sugâ€" gested the stranger, "and now that you have triumphed so glorâ€" iously I presume you possess and enjoy these freedoms". _ R "Sir" I replied remorsefully "I but wish that were the truth but the facts are otherwise and might thus be described." . "Freedom From Want". The fact is that never were so many million people in this world in such dire want for Food, clothes and shelter." "Freedom Of _ Speech." There seems too much freedom of areech in some lands and too little in others, _ Take â€" Spain, Portugal, Rumania, Bulgaria and all counâ€" tries under domination of Russia as well as that great country itself. Scarely none will say that these "If rm:y make an observation" said the Stranger, "I would point out that there need be neither chancel or alter, pew or pulpit for man to truly worship. Forms and ceremonies, cloisters and cathedrals all such may be as brass and tinkling cymbal if from the heart of peog}e know Freedom of Speech. "Freedom Of Worship". It seems that many, loudly demand freedom of Worship but when they have it how few exetcises this priceless priviler.“ #94 T mer make an nhasrrotion" man comes no urge to worship. . Was there not, a great teacher of your world who declared, God is a spirit and man must worship him in spirit and in truth. _ ., B M PROCetint P0 MOEICY 1 paused and ponderu{ on the Stranger‘s words, and continued, "As to Freedom From Fear, here we have a Pa.ndox! B CNCWALAII ME Bicchwes Was _ "Strangely and Ironically," I rel:narked‘," Xthe world to-‘lly is gripped in greater fear than it has ever known." "How comes so strange a result from such a triumphant victory?" asked the stranger in amazement, "The answer is involved and asked the stranger in amazement, "The answer is involved and quite fantastic.‘ I replied,. "Our irelben scientists devele?ed the tomic Bomb of so stupedous and destructive power that our tremenâ€" dous navies, our collossal armies, our mighty air force â€"and our pondorous equipment of guns and tanks, all these on wi:ich we formerly depended, are now outâ€" moded by the super destructiveness of this Atomic Bomb which we have â€" demonstrated can destroy great cities in the twinkling of an eye.‘ _.Ҥ;gl;"r7.i.a. Stranger, "As victors you must have triumphed over feat," ie wale "What then do you fear?" asked the stranger, "with this mighty destructive force to do your bidding ?" _ _ _ . I replied, ‘We fear that some other nation will discover the secret of the Atomic Bomb . and destroy our civilization." â€" The stranger smiled and remarkâ€" ed, "The scientific mind cannot be bound, gagged or controlled by arbitrary decrees! Centuries ago the inhabitants of Mars discovered how to utilize and control Atomic Energy. We harnessed its power to the betterment of man and not to his destruction." â€" â€" "Atomic energy in Mars is vitaâ€" lizing dynamic, stimulous to life. By it we light our cities, heat our homes, operate industry, energize agriculture and â€" provide speedy transportation â€" throughout . Mars and to other planets within our nebular system." . â€" I was amazed as the stranger revealed these facts. Then he utâ€" tered this solemn warning: No "Scientist should remember that all nature moves in perfect harâ€" mony, There is constant coâ€"operâ€" ation between its forces. The mighty power of the atom exists in conformity to laws of molecular attraction and universal rythmn. If you set one atom against another you align the :vho]e gto’rpic' system in conflict with itself. Originating with disrupton and dispersal of its latent energies within a definite orb, the resulting confusion extends itself into geometric progression until there is set in motion a calaâ€" matous disintigration, that may never be held in leash, and will eventually destroy those who exâ€" periment with such uncalculated pot,gmialities.” . 2. "Harmony in the forces of nature is the secret of the successful harâ€" nessing of Atomic Energy to the service of mankind. It was to bear this message to your world that I was sent as an emissary of good will from Mars. .‘ _ _ â€" "What is the solution?" I then asked the stranger.. 2 "Sir," I exclaimed, "Have you a final message. We are so close to our problems that we are inclined to be near sighted and get a wrong perspective, but you from a disfint planet would have a ‘long range and impartial view." _ 20L io mae dn ce ts t The stranger was silent, his brow knit in concentration as if caught in a clairvoyant spell. Then he spake as one certain of his facts and posstssed of great authority who gave voice to that which lay heavily upon his heart, These were his final words: We â€" "If the nations of this world which desire Peace, delight in Justice, demand Liberty and insist upon Freedom, do not dismiss their minor differences and become coâ€"operative in action, coâ€"hesive in amical relations and coâ€"ordinated in plans for security, the day will surely dawn when a war of comâ€" plete extermination will eradicate your civilization. "And finally," he warned "Watch well, ‘The Bear that walks like a man,‘ and see that it never emâ€" braces the multitudes of India and the Millions of China and then seeks to subdue the world!" As the stranger concluded I felt a thrill Fass through _ my whole frame. I was about to to thank him for his message but when I looked he had disappeared. The room was lit with a strange light and filled with electrical impulses. _ I found myself wide awake. I had, of course, been dreaming but still there lingered the memory of the voice and the moving message of the mysterious visitor from Mars. Death Toll Up Appeal to Drivers Toronto‘s traffic death toll for the year now stands at 75, with 3,522 accidents, in which 2,383 persons were injured. "Every posâ€" sible appeal has been made to these motorists to coâ€"operate with authorities and keep the death rate down h{')roho,\'ing traffic regulaâ€" tions," . Lawson said, "but apâ€" parently they do not take the apâ€" peals seriously," In rush hours, he said, many motoriste weave in and out of tratâ€" fice and travel at dangerous speeds. ‘"They are going nowhere in a hurry. It seems that one motorist is trying to beat another. As for courtesy on the road, it is almost becomins unknown. _ Additional traffic officers have been employed and they are now in training," he said. "I understand it is the intenâ€" tion of the &olice department . to ride hard on these erring motorists. It seems that only drastic action will stop them." Advocating drastic action h% police to reduce the toll of deat and injury in traffic accidents, Dr. Smirle Lawson, chief coroner, deâ€" clared there are ‘too many brainâ€" less wonders driving streamlined death cars in this city " Objective of next year‘s Canaâ€" dian Red Cross campaign will proâ€" bably be 80 per cent less than for 1945. Jackson Dodds, chairman of the central council of the Canaâ€" dian Red Oross, said at Montreal. TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON Mrs. Donald Warren was the eloquent and stimulating speaker at the November mmin{vot the Central United Church Women‘s Association, as she spoke on the place of the church in the postâ€"war world. Mrs. Warren struck an ogfimhuc note as she declared that the church was yet in its infancy but would ultimately attain its true stature. Social relationships offer problems which require maturity of mind, their abstractions being difâ€" ficult and obstruse. Througfi the centuries there have been occasionâ€" al examples of such maturity, notâ€" ably and supremely that of the mind and heart of Jesus. Yet criticisms can be and are being levelled at the present day Christian churchâ€"by our youth, our Workers, our business men, some of whom point at its 2,000â€" yearâ€"old existence, its palpable failures, its middleâ€"class limitaâ€" tions. A quicker solution for our social evils is demanded, an unâ€" iflvouuble comparison . with the efficiency of communism cited. Continued from page 2â€" lege, Toronto, whose sermon was most appropriate to the occasion. The St. Matthias choir, under the able leadership of Mr. E. Cathcart, rendered a very pleasing anthem, and a duet. The ‘"Last Post" and "Reveille", was well rendered by two trumpeters, and in the interval a Lament was played on the bagâ€" pipes. Altogether this was a notâ€" able service, and one enjoyed by all present, Next Sunday, sevrices will be held in all three churches at the usual hour, the Rector being the preacher. Harding Avenue Therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and Therefore will he be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you. Why waitâ€"why not give us at once? No, it cannot be; no blessâ€" ing would be really a blessing to us until we should be prepared to use it in a right and profitable way.

In the word of Jesus the answer comesâ€"to Eruch the gku- rl to the poor, to heal the broken earted, to bring deliverance to the captive, recovery of lifM to the blind, and to set at liberty those who are bruised. Christians then must take up the challenge, identify themselves with the church, thin{ in terms of a worldâ€"wide fellowship of believing hearts, practice what they preach, remembering that the Sermon on the Mount was Christ‘s nearest approach to a Creed, the Good Samaritan his example of love. Other highlights of a fine meetâ€" ing were found in Mrs. Stong‘s devotional exposition based on the verse from .Colossians "Let the peace of God rule in your hearts" and Mrs. White‘s beautiful solo "Just As I Am," accompanied by Mrs. McKelvey.
