ON WAY TO OTTAWA
"Nations are today hastening to-
wards their armageddon," ' Premier
Wiidiam Aberhart, head of the Al-
berta's Social 'Credit Government,
Stinday night told a congregation
which filled First. Presbyterian Church..
"Great Britain has stood against
it and the British people throughout
the world afthould' pray that the Em-
pire be maintained to prevent growth
of the terrible movement in tthe,world.
You tahou1d 'be on your knees, for the
next 48 shouts that the tide which. is
` • sweeping Europe be held in check."
The minister of the church; Rev.
H. C. Feast, introduced the premier
as, "A. child of our own church in
•,• Seaforth, but now called to . a high
Position in. a Western province." 'Pier
minister went on to tell bow he shad
witnessed a ",'beautiful scene" Satur-
day,'Mrs.. William AberharC, who cele-
brates • her 86th birthday Monday,.
'surrounded by her sans. "We ,think
of this man as one who marchedfor-
ward, never •doubting that the clouds
will break."
. Premier Aberhert read the lesson,
from' the 24th chapter of the Book of
.St. Luke, verses 13 to 29. He was
preaeh4ng in the same pulpit which
lie oceupied a little over a • year ago
• • and lookedas robust. as ever; but his
voice and manner seemed to ' have
quietened, and to shave lost some of
, the positiveness which was so ,evident
• a year•.,,.
"I have not lost fntterest in the
'Word' of God as applied. to • the. Pres-
ent da:Y" he said. "It .hag been my
hobby for many years • In spite of a
etrennotte public :life during the past
two years I rave loved • to.. snatch a
few precious .moments to learn what
