Though 76 per cent. describe them- selves as church members and 41 per cent. attend church regularly, only five per cent. think of God as Redeemer. Christianity is founded on Christ, the Redeemer and Saviour of the world, and yet, only 5 per cent, of so-called christians are redeemed from their sins through Christ. The time is ripe for redemptive teaching and preaching. People. have a heart hunger to know the answers to the deep longing in their hearts to be reconciled to God through Christ. People want to know what the scriptures teach about God and salvation. Ninety per cent. of people have yet to pass beyond the ele- mentarY Snuday School stage. They believe in God, but that alone will not bring salvation from sins. Even the Devil believes in God, • • • BAD NEWS OUT' OF THE EAST The Communist forces in China are on the march. They have captured all of Manchuria, China's richest in- dustrial area. The 'Nationalist forces of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Government are in retreat, at some places they have been routed or anni- hilated by the advancing, triumphant red Chinese armies. Several divisions of Nationalists troops have deserted to the enemy and the National Govern- ment can no longer rely on its armies to stop the Communist advance or even remain loyal. The situation in China is daily growing more desper- ate. One-fifth of mankind lives in China and at least another one-fifth, the peo- ple of India, Burma, Malaya, Indo- i China and other Asiatic lands, will be 'powerfully influenced by Chinese :events. The free nations face the pos- 'sibility that within a few years more than half the human rare will be under Communist rule. The Chinese National Government has apparently failed to retain control and provide efficient government in the 'whole of China, Lack of up-to-date communications, transport and a unified public opinion have weakened the central government of,r Generalissimo Chian, and allowed • "the Communist elements in the coon- 141 eq try, no doubt greatly helped by Rus- 4f3 sia, to grow in power and threaten to conquer the entire country. The Chinese war has become an urg- ent issue for the Western World, and especially for the United States, to solve what can be done to stein the Communist tide. At present the United States, through the Marshall Plan, is making an all-out effort to stein the westward march of Communism along the Stettin-Trieste line in Europe. It would be too much of a burden for the United States to set up a similar line in China against the eastward march of Communism, but something along that line seems urgently necess- ary. Once again the problem of prior- ities arises. very much like the 1942-3 PA question whether the Western Front • or the Oriental Front demands the CA first all-out effort. * * PARLEYS OPEN ON UNIFIED • WESTERN FORCE • Field Marshal Viscount Montgom- ery recently began the firstof a series 0.4 of military talks designed to weld the pi armies of Western Europe into a uni- ;lied force. Lord Montgomery is chair- man of the military committee of the OH Western European Union composed • of Britain, France, Belgium the Neth- lands and Luxembourg. fi I The talks he is conducting will be H :held in France, Belgium and the Neth- !erlands as well as in Western Ger- A 4• many. At the first talk in Melee the British and trench Military Gover- g hors, Gen. Sir Brian Robertson and 0, Gen. Pierre Koenig, were present, and the American Military Governor, Gen. Lucius D. Clay was expected to join pl the conference the following day. It is reliably understood that plans to for the interchangeability' of men as well as weapons will figure largely on ,,.Mweg !the agenda. The problem before the ,military leaders of 'Western Europe is how to make soldiers of different nat- ions work together down to the low- ' est command levels. * * I KNOW WINGHAM The main street of Lower Wingham of E.--Wawartosh.

So, it occasioned no surprise to us, when we read recently in an article in the Lad- ies' Home Journal that 95 per cent. of all United States citizens believe in God. We really believe that all man- kind know or feel in their souls that there is a God, because the soul is the spiritual, immaterial, and immortal part of man, that must know about God since it is spirit in nature and God is a spirit. The arch-angel Lucifer, now called the Devil or Satan, and his host of angel followers, rebelled against God and were cast out of Heaven. James, In the New Testament declares that "The Devils also believe", but didn't prevent them from allowing pride in -their own knowledge and power to cause them to sin against God. So, the fact that 95 per cent. of the people .1•411.11111•••1111110i11•11•101MNIMINV FIRST CLASS Watch Repairs Owing to lack of space I am compelled to confine my repairs to WATCHES ONLY for the present time. Satisfaction Guaranteed George Williams John St., Next to Masonic Hall in the U.S. believe in God, doesn't mean that all those men and w omen t • serve God in any way, or are real Christians. The first man, Adam, fell like the fallen angels and man's nature totlae :is naturally sinful. A few men. ;Wu- 'ists, agnostics anti mentally unbalanc- ed, about five per cent, claim they don't know, don't care or deny God. That is the utmost in rebellion, going even beyond the revolt of the fallen angels. The great majority of man- kind, at least in the U.S., about 90 per cent. believe that God is the Creator, but they don't pray to Him for fro- giveness of their sins. That perhaps means that the bulk of mankind be- lieve they have no sins to forgive. Only five per cent, pray for forgive- ness of their sins, believing that God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him, that He has done every- thing necessary for man's,,salvation and that He can and will bring our lives into line with out beliefs if we will submit to His plan for us. It is a sad reflection on the lack of definite teach- ing by the church that after so many centuries of opportunity for propogat- ing the Gospel so few people have any definite conception of God and His purpose and provision for the redemp- tion of mankind. It appears that to 29 per cent, of the people God suggests supreme power; 26 per cent. think of God in some kind of supervisory capacity; 17 per cent. think of Him as Creator; while 7 per cent. vaguely regard Him as a spirit. Seventy per cent. think of God as a judge who observes their actions and will reward and punish them for them. Forty per cent. think of God as a per- son; 52 per cent. befieve that life after HAMILTON OPTICAL CO. W. R. Hamilton, R. 0. Optometrist for Over 25 Years.
