The first attempt to under mine the people of Britain was the voice of ‘’Lord Haw Haw!” This hap pened daily and it was very upsetting at first to many, but the claims made and the statements issued through this medium got to be so distorted and pntruihiul that they lost their ef-i feet.

I firmly and absolutely believe that evil things are sent into the world to try us; they are sent deliberately by our Creator to test our mettle, because He knows what is good for us. The Bible is full of -cases where the easy way out has been discarded for moral principles. I count myself fortunate that I have seen the whole country and know men of every calling. But with the final test of war I consider my character fully developed. Thus at my early age, with my earthly mission already fulfilled,. I am prepared to die with just one regret and one only—that I could, not devote myself to making your declining years more happy by being with you; but you will live in peace and freedom; and I shall have directly contributed to that, so here again my life will not have been in vain. Your loving son, world has ever, seen, and I count my self lucky and. honored to be of the right age and fully trained to throw my full weight mto the scale. For, this I have to thank you. Yet then® fe more work for you to do. The hrsme front -will have* to stand united! for years after »the war is won. For all that caxnbe said to the cr*at- rary, I still maintain that this war Es a very good thing; every individual fo having a chance to give and to dhre all for his princple, like the martyrs of old.
