Howey said that aftei’ the bombs hit he saw bright orange flashes and flame, “ ‘The ship blazed up quickly,” he related. ‘I don’t think it could remain afloat.’ “Wireless-Operator R. Larkins, of Barrhead, Alta., said, *We could see the glare of the flames when the aircraft was 30 miles fro-nn the scene of the attack on the way home.’ “Other crew members werea Sgt. F. L.

A parallel might be drawn in our church and Sunday School work for here we find too few bearing the whole burden. If all would share the task the church would prosper and the coming of the kingdom would be hastened. Mr. Aidworth illustrated his ser mon by telling of a bystander who asked a workman what he was do ing. The labourer replied that he was cutting stone for a cathedral. He did not know -where the stone would be placed, but it was his intention to keep “clipping away” and vic tory would come. “In What Kind of a God do You Believe?” was Mr. Aidworth’s even ing subject. Do you believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth—one who is an intelligent designer? It makes a great deal of difference what we believe and particularly what we believe about God. Do you believe in a and God who who man do believe in the 'Christian God, in one who didn’t abdicate after He created the world, but who remain ed to teach and bring up his unruly cerature, man.
