Mac McDowell cabled his parents
telling of his safe arrival in England.
This week in the British House of
Commons, Prime Minister Winston
Churchill was asked if he would con-
sider appealing for a 48 hoar
armistice for Christmas, The
answer was a direct NO.
Nineteen hundred and forty years
ago, "While Shepherds watched
their,flocks by night," a Babe •was
born in a manger in the stable be-
hind a hotel, in Bethlehem.. Thin
Babe was tine Son of God, born into
a world of sin', to preach the Gospel
of salvation. No more lowly or
humble entry into the world can 1,9
imagined, and for the next 83 years
the whole future of the world wee
to be moulded. His teachings and
preaching have been banded down
to each succeeding generation, as a
guide for right against wrong.
Every year December 35th anni-
versary of that birth is more widely
and universally celebrated than any
other anniversary. The Wise Men
brought gifts to this Babe in Bethle-
hem, and to this day we still give
gifts at Christmas, symbolizing not
only the. gifts of the Wise Men but
the' life of Christ 'who went about,
healing the sick, raising the dead
and saying: "Suffer the little child-
ren to come unto me."
Throughout the5 ages many wars
have been waged, many men and
nations have fallen in the endeavor
to stifle 'Cristianity, and to stay
out the teachings of that Babe.
Until the end of the world these
attempts will continue, but with the
same result.
The present conflict will go down
in history as another attempt that
was foiled.
One man rising up against the
world shouting and howling like e
maniac, discarding all ethics 03
Christianity, claiming to be the
saviour of the world. No man can
ever claim the title of saviour

through domination 'by force bY'
trampling humanity beneath h $
.feet. His doom is sealed, History
willtr'epeet itself once age1n ,Right,
Wilt prevail, and'the 'awn of a newv
era will be hailed, Until that
time, the defenders of 'Christianity
cannot cease fire for any purpose,
until victory has been, achieved.
,Flow much reliance could be plac-
ed in the word of Hitler, even tho'
such an arrangement were made. He
has been consistent in breaking all
pledges and would no doubt wel-
come the chance to take advantage
of any good faith shown by us. It
,would be an ideal opportunity La
strike hard, , So long as Hitler
'continues to dominate we must fight
on.
