Hitler has made anenemy of Him by destroying God's creation—man, nature, truth, love, faith, in fact, Hitler has brought destruction, on everybody and everything God creat- ed. His destructiveness was creel and needless and we Christiansmay be assured that God will make this would -be -god pay with his own life- blood,. Hitler shall pay for his des- truction, just for his own selfish gain of power, of those things God loves. • One of our greatest possessions is democracy. Democracy means gov- ernment by the people through their elected representatives, (We citizens of the British Empire, have not for centuries been under the oppression of another nation) means freedom of the press freedom of speech and thought, and freedom of action' in so far as one is within the law. Free - don of education is also a very im- portant asset of our democratic way of life. Germany and her colonies have none of these privileges, and, consequently} they would be taken from us x•' f we were conquered. Are we going to allow this to happen? The British Elmpire stands for eq- uality and international co-operation. Is there any equality or co-operaton between the nations of the world and the Nazi regime? Co-operation to Germany is not voluntary action but(', compulsion by military force. We do not call it equality when people are treated as slaves), Hitler and his Storm Troopers shall never obtain a chance to teach us, Canadians, this form of equality or co-operation! The men of the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force are giving their Yves to save us from death and sub- jugation. We, the civilians • must muster our full economic strength, our industrial production, the labour of all our people and the money that is needed. We can win the war and. we shall win it by co-operating faith- fully with our leaders, In order to give the utmost strength to our coun- try, buy Victory Bonds, You are loaning your money to the best cause there is, that is, to winning the war by providing money to buy arms for our brave lads to fight with. In mon- ey alone this war will cost Canada this year four million dollars a day. Canada shall not—flare not—sacrifice men for lack in quality or quantity of fighting machines.

REV. JAMES WILSON, B.A. D.D. Rev. James Wilson B.A. D.D., who for almost fifty years, was minister in the Presbyterian church in Canada, died suddenly at his hone in Toronto on Saturday last. Born near Dung- annon, in 1865 and receiving his high school education in Goderich, Dr. Wil - sot graduated from Knox College, Toronto in 1893. In the same year he was ordained to the ministery at Drummond Hill Presbyterian church, serving seven years. Subsequently he ministered to Glencoe, Dovereourt, Road, Brampton and Wychwood chur- ches. While at Dovercourt Road and Wychwood churches in Toronto he was responsible for the erection of both buildings. In 1923 he was hon- oured by the degree of Doctor of Divinity by Knox College. Although he officially retired in 1938, he continued the energetic in- terest on behalf of his church. His wise counsel was highly welcome by his colleagues in Toronto Presbytery and in General Assembly committees. More than once he declined the nom- ination for the moderatorship of the General Assembly, but was on sev- eral occasions moderatbr of Toronto Presbytery, and a past moderator of Synod of Toronto and Kingston. Surviving are his widow, Jessie Sands Wilson; one daughter Mise Ruth Wilson of Toronto; one brother Mr. Joseph Wilson of Clinton.
