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.
