Speaking on the Ford Sunday Evening Hour at Christmas
time, W. J, Cameron referred to Christianity as something that,
considering the comparatively short time it had been in the world, and
the fact that few who profess it really practise it, that it was not a failure
and probably only ip the initial stages of its. progress, ; ...The admission that “few have really practised it” is something to
give us solemn thought. We have seen, to our cost and shame how
much a whole-hearted acceptance and enthusiastic practice of the horrid
Nazi ideology has accomplished in Germany. In Christianity we have
a far better way of life but we have taken it for granted and grown m-
1 dolent in practice and teaching. One wonders if every torpid Christian
were aflame with the certainty of those things he believes, how soon the
momentum of a New Crusade would carry the good news to every
creature in this discouraged and weary, world,

WOMAN WINS THE GEORGE *
CROSS
Miss Joan Pierson, an English
girl, is the first woman to receive
the George Cross. This decoration
was instituted by the -King, as a
mark of distinction for an out
standing act of civilian bravery,
since now we are all in the front
Tine. Miss Pierson pulled a pilot
from a burning- plane, and when
bombs began to burst, threw her
self over him and with her own
hody protected him from iflying
fragments. Such” acts of heroism
are the rule rather than the excep
tion, 'but only

YOU AND YOUR CHILD
Has it ever occurred to you that
as a child the people you liked least
were those who werq sarcastic?
Children are afraid of that. They
are naturally direct in their ap
proach, and lost when they can
not understand the mood of a
strange form of expression. No one
who is afraid is acting naturally
so it is obvious that we will never
get very close to our children if
they must hide behind a bewilder
ment that we ourselves have creat
ed. Sarcasm may be often clever
but it has no place in home or
school and could well be absent
from most other places as Well.

the war grows and our pre-As
sent difficulties seem td pile up, it
is comforting to know that we
have with ,us the well tried armies
of China. Recently, by radio, came
the message of General Chiang
Kai-Shek to the president of the
United States. “To our common
battle we offer all we have and
all we are.” And as our garrison
at Hong Kong began to be hard
pressed by the besiegers, the Chin-
| ese hurled themselves at the rear
of the ,attacking force,
long, patient, desperate
have put up. None of the
greatly deserves success
The following, quoted
Pear Buck, gives a hint of the
acteristics that make the Chinese
unconquerable:
“Most- of the people are every
day folk, closely rooted to their
land. Fluidity of Chinese society
which permits a man to rise from
a low to a high station induces a
spirit of hopefulness in the people.”
Closely knit family structures
give the people an extraordinary
amount of individual security.
Rich sense of humor is every
where evident.
Old people are not wasted in
China because they are
spected.
