M. Hooper went back to that first
blackout. of September 1st, 1939, in
Britain ;when. they knew war. was
inevitable. , .One :must ujiderstand
what had gone before to realize that
'among the mingled feelings of that
night was one Of profound relief.. •
Since 1918• they had lived in' a
world of. fantasy, pursuing a dis-
armament program, and .pinning'
their hopes -for •continued ' peace on
a League of- Nations which in act-
uality . never existed. The democ-
• racies thus permitted the chance to
practise' 'international gangsterism
and we saw the Japs invade China,
and Italy fall on Abyssinia with...all'
its modern means of murder.
Again. the politicians stood by
• with feeble incompitence: The.
came Munich, "the crowning harm);
iation of all", said Mr. Hooper, but
on that night • of September 1st, we
knew the polity' of appeasement'wa•e
at an end• and' the 'forces of evil
were to be challenged and with the
realization' came a feeling of . relief
Spirit' Of Sacrifice Born •
But that first blackout brought
also a feeling of solemn sadness: It
• symbolized the failure' of human
hands to preserve world•peace ..and -as
one speaker said, "the lights of pro-
gress . have ' gone, (out all over
Europe". •
A great and amazing.metaininorpho-
sis began however, the speaker said
and a spiritual -light of self sacri-
fice was born as other lights went
• out.
•' Men and women of Britain were
' united as never before' in self-
sac-rifice and service, as was witnessed
the i greatest. change .ever made in
a' gileat Christian nation. Think what
this will mean after the war, Mr.
• Hooper_ added.
• We kilo* that the people -of Can-
ada love. thein country and uphold
the principals; which ate principals
of God. We know what. your answer
has been and will be in adopting the-
• policy of self-sacrifice. 'The lamps
• of progress can be' lit once more,
by those who sacrifice for righteous-
ness, love and truth and in so doing
a e following in the footsteps .of
Christ.
