URING the war, so happily 'ended, the Canadian National
Railways, as Canada's greatest transportation system, had a
gigantic task to do.
Our ability to fulfill this duty to the credit and satisfaction of the Nation •
is due, not only to the skill, devotion and zeal of those who are our workers,
but in large measure to the Canadian Public who, by their generous
responses to appeals for help and their uncomplaining acceptances of
restrictiotas and controls, lightened our burden,
We wish to thank the Canadian Public sincerelyfor theirtelp the millions
of passengers who used our trains and steamships, the shippers of freight
and express, theguests in our hotels, the patrons of our telegraph and Other
services, and • the unnumbered citizens who refrained from travefljng
• needlessly as their contribution to the common cause.
The surrender of the last enemy has ended the fighting but it has not ended
the warjob of the Canadian National Railways. The men and women in the
Services haVe to be brought home vvithont delay and for that purpose we
shall Continue to employ all our available passenger equipment. Millions of
tons of materials must be transported for industrial reconversion.
So in saying "Thank You" we express the hope that in carrying out these
and 'other extensions of our war job, we may continue to enjoy the under.
standing 'of'the Canadian Public.

President would be needed to take
the highest executive position in
the limited States. In all probability
President Roosevelt knew before
his call came that plans were Made
for the defeat of Japan. President
Truman had been for many years in
training for just such a position.
One can just imagine what his
early home life was like. One of
the finest newspaper prints which
have come through about him is
• Whet% his dear old Mother is bidd-
ing hint farewell as he left bonne
recently. She is. saying to bitn, "Be
e good boy. Harry." What a memory
that brought back to many of us
How 'remarkably President Roose.
vela President Truman Ex Prime
Minister Churchill and Marshall
Stalin have worked •together. They
have made many dcisions, and the
result of them is that our world has
been saved at least for the present.
The Atomic benne, will do a great deal
to keep peace, for the men and even
women who have knowledge of the
power • of it declare that should
there be another war, not only
Canada, but in all probability the
whole world would be destroyed.
How true the Psalmist is when he
says in Psalm 124: 2, 2 "If it had
not been the Lord who was on elm
side, when men rose up against us:
Then they had swallowed us
quick, when their wrath was kind
led against us."
From the beginning of World
War II many people have felt that
the war could only go one way, that
the Allies must win, for God is a Gad
of right and they felt that the Allies
were on the side of right. We know
God is a God of right but the ques-
t ian still remains. Have we any right
to expeet Gd to save us from dese
traction? Now what do awe intend
to do? Ave wejust planning to V
on •in our old way of forgetting God.
Canada got through this with little
hardship, in fact many people have
bardly known there was a war. We
have wandered far feast]. God and
are stili wondering. Row long will
God have patience with us?
It may be one of the Brit real
decisions we have to make in life is
whether we are going to, continue our
schooling or not. Our parents are
often willing to sacrifice many
pleasures in order that we may have
an Education which Will start us
off in life, but we feel that we do not
want to go on to sehool. Young
people will say "I do not want any
longer to be dependent on our par..
entsa That is a brave gesture on
our part, that is if we are leaving
school with their consent, but they
know better than we do what an
education means. In these daysait is
absolutely necessary that we should
be able to calculate quickly, speaa
correct English and even should we
not be plannieg to go into a busi-
ness office yet there are btaineee
requirements in ail kinds of work,
and we do not want to be the one
who is standing On the bottom round
of the ladder and allowing 'someone
else to do the "head" work.
There will be many boys and girls
at this Sane who are facing this,
problem. Think it well over before
a decision is made for it may mean
a great deal to us especially now
that the war ja •over. Do not take a
definite stand on this matter of
Education until We have talked it
over with our parents and have
asked God to guide us in our plans.
Parents at times think they have
to accumulate money to leave to
their childeen, (very often to quar-
rel over and to be the meanof
breaking family love and friendship).
Has it ever occurred to parents that
it would be a better plan to put some
of that •money into the educatioe of
their children: The "Ball Ronne
should be a great help along this
line.
Perhaps the next great step in
life is when one is choosing a life
partner and this is really a serious
matter. In the past six years there
have •been hundreds of marriages
performed, their husbandhave
gone overseas. The couple hes not
known one another long enough to
have any idea whether they are
suited to each <>thee or not Very
often the bride has received the
money which the Mother of the man
in the service should have received.
In all probability when the men come
hofne the couple who were so madly
in love will never live together. The
husband may come home blamed and
the wife will not want to assume
the responsibility of him.
Then there are eases where hus-
band or wife have not been true to
one another. What a tragedy!
There are many instances, not in
connection with the war at all, when
very very foolish marriages have
been contracted. Does it ever occur
to young people that oftimes their
parents ate better judges of a life
partner for their son or daughter
than the youth is for himself or
herself. The majority of the youth
of today would never be guided by
their parents • in this matter but a
great many men and women have
said years after they were mai:tied,
"Well, Mother, I wish I had taken
your advice."
We pray to God that our Canadian
divorce laws may never be slackened.
In olden tines when one was married
thef stayed married but now in
many countries marriages take place
without God being cansuled at all
and little children are being brought
up in an sitmosprInere that God never
intended.
One might go, on and an .speaking
of ciretenetencee aunties:. which deci-
sions have to ba made. If we pray to
God for aclvioe, He will help us to
come to a right conclusion.
There is one great decision which
we have to make whether we want to
or not and that is what are we going
to do with Carat in our lives? There
is not one Christian who does not
feel that although we Ileac taken
Christ as our Leader y,et we are very
often following "afar off". Day by
day °eminencescome into our lives
which we do not seem able to stand
up against, it may be sickness, trial
or anxiety of some kind. We forget
that we cannot face these things
without Christ and the fist thing we
know we have fallen into the hands
of the temper and Can almost heay
hia satanee laugh as he recognizes
that he has for the time being at
least become victor over the lames -i-
ce of our Saviour. What a blessing
ib is for us, when we have the as-
surance that we ean come back to
Oiliest and He will forgive us and we
can start on the narrow way again.
Let us make that decision, if we are
distressed ever the thought that
temptation has got the better of us•
Then too have we made the all
important decision to accept Christ.
Pilate faced that • problem and we
must face it too.. Our Saviour stood
before Pilate for judgement. Pilate
was •afraid of the scam of the people
and sentenced Christ to a terrible
death. Christ died for our sins and
now Ile sits at the 'taint hand of
God to judge the world. Christ stood
before Pilate and WAS sentenced, and
let us not forget it Pilate will stand
before Christ Our Saviour, lad an
unjust trial and to the disgrace of
the people who • crucified Him 'as
well as ourselves who are daily
crying "Crucify He received
a punishment whieh was not merited
by Rim,. but at the final judgemeat
Pilate will etenal: before CHTiSt. Hi
