three poiets sons of God.
,1. "We are now the seas' of God".
2. "It doth not yet appear what we
shall be". 3. "Every man that hath
this hope in Him, purifieth him-
self", stressing -the purifying hope.

MASS SERVICE DELO
ON SUNDAY EVENING
Born and raised a Hindu in early
youth he became dissatisfied with
Hinduism. Being a student and a
seholar be began his study of eom-
parative religions which ultimately
led him to embrace Christianity.
Always a devoted student of the
Bible, he has latterly been the in-
strumental agent in the adventur-
ous story of the printing of the
Bible in the Tibetan language.
This, and the part he has played
as the thief translator of the Bible
in Sindi, have brought him world-
wide fame. Because of his first-
hand knowledge of the area, his
episcopal work chiefly lies in the
Sind area now in South Pakistan—
Mostly desert which reaches in
lahd from Karachi, the only port in
Pakistan,
Sixteen bishops of the Church of
India, Pakistan, Burma, and 'Cey-
lon were present at Bishop Chandu

Wingham is in for one of the most impressive
eients in its history. On Friday evening of this week
the local .Civil Defence group ,will stage Exercise
"Flame-Up", a mock war disaster situation which will
simulate conditions which 'very easily could exist in
the event of enemy action on this continent.
For the purpose of the exercise its is presumed
that the following conditions prevail.
A state of war exists. Two days ago thermo-
nuclear weapons were employed, with devastating
effect, against the Detroit-Windsor area.
Those persons who escaped, or survived, were
directed to Stratford, Ontario. During the past 24
hours the influx of evacuees has jammed -this last
city to overflowing. Consequently arrangements have
been ,made to re-allocate this ,overflow to Huron
County. Wingham is to expect approximately 50
persons who will travel from Stratford via No. 8 and
No. 4 Highways. Estimated time of arrival in Wing-
ham 2100 to 2130 hrs. (9.00 to 9.30 p.m.).
At 2000 hrs. (8.00 p.m.) warning is received from
Zone Jsio. 3 H.Q. at Kitchener, that a large force of
hostile aircraft has been detected, apparently proceed-
ing to points in the U.S. This force is expected to
pass over the VVingham area at approximately 2030
hrs. (8.30). At 2015 hrs. (8.15) Signal BLUE is
received and the public is alerted to the approaching
danger. At 2030 hrs. (8.30) Signal RED is.receiVed
and the Air Raid warning is sonnded.
On arrival over Wingham the dhostile force is
enkaged by -intefeeptors front Station Cen-
tralia. Several. hostile aircraft are destroyed and one
aircraft in distress jetlisons its cargo" of incendiary
bombs, which fall on the South end of Wingham. The
fire brigade and rescue teams go into action. .Cas-
ualties are removed to Wingham General Hospital by
the ambulance service. Hydro services operate spor-
adically and communications have to be made almost
entirely by radio.
At 2115 hrs. (9.15) the evacuees arrive from
Stratford. Because of the conditions existing here
they are taken to No. 1 Welfare Centre and fed com-
munally. After this blankets and necessary clothing
are issued. Evacuees are then directed to No. 1
Warden Post and placed in civilian billets. ,
Residents of this community are asked to take
particular note of the details which have been out-
lined above. During the period of the exercise thun-
derflashes, which are 'dummy bombs, without the
power to do any damage, will be exploded to .simu-
late the noise of battle. Incendiary bombs will be
dropped in the open area south of the town.
This will not be an occasion for alarm —
rather for serious consideration of the need for every
person in the community to realize that we must be
prepared for realities of this kind. ,
If an official emergency should arise, requiring
the services of a Doctor, Ambulance err the Fire De-
partment . . call must be made to the Wingham
Police Department, at 296.
Approximate timetable for' the various aspects
of the exercise is given below;
7.30 p.m. Communications staff man Control ane
check two way contact on Provincial and
Local nets.
