He was here to visit his mother, who has been ill in the hospital. In the ih'st place Mr. Aberhart said: "I want to state that I am thoroughly convinced by the study of the prophecies that Germany is go- ing to lose this war. I am convinced of this not only because it was de- clared, but because they are break- ing a principle of life that could newer provide successful results. In the tenth chapter of Genesis we are told that the eldest s011 of Japheth was Gomer, which means a mass of people without any central- ized purpose. The encyclopedia, Mr. Aberhart stated, traces the descend- ants of Gomer as a barbaric horde who in the seventh century, 13.0„ left their abode in the south of Russia and went south then to the east Caucaucus mountains to western Asia and central Europe where they set- tled in Austria, Germany, and even farther north. These powerful Gom- ers were the ancestors of the Ger- man and more particularly the Nazis. Mr. Aberhart tools his text from the first chapteref F34seawitere the prophet was told to take as his wife tt woman named Gopher. Out of this' mafi'iage three children were born which represent the three stages In, the experience of the Gernlan people, The litst child was called Jezreel Which means, I will avenge, I will grasp, take by force, control by power. Tliis has long been exempla- fled in the experience of Germany on the three occasions in modern hist- ory, namely 1870, 1914 and 1939, The second child was called Lorulhamab, which means, will no one be sorry for me, will no one take pity upon me. This reveals a failure to recognize guilt in the wrongdoing which he has done, and to complain bitterly about any punishment which may be re- ceived. This is clearly shown in the speeches made by Hitler in the early days of his rise to power, The third child was called Loammi, which means I have lost nay identity as a people. The prophet goes on to show that only when Gomer reached tins state that she became repentant and took her proper place in life, "I am convinced," remarked Mr. Aberhart "that when' this war is over, the German nations should be decentralized into the various small- er states that have tinned to consti- tute that nighty empire. It is only thus that we can remove the tempta- tions from her of striving to gain her way by force. The lesson that we are being taught today by Germany is this: that it is impossible ,for any individual church or nation to secure or maintain peace and true freedom together with economic security by a mighty force centralized in one head." Continuing he added: "We must adopt the British idea of dem- ocracy, decentralize power so that the smaller states and provinces may be able to assert their sovereign rights." Private Jones had volunteered for a special job, and was being inter- viewed by the colonel. "Have you the firmness of character that enables a pian to go on and so do his duty in the face of ingratitude, criticisms and ridicule" asked .the colonel. "Well," said Billikins, "I was a cook all through the last war." .ThEATRE RE•'NT V:,/Seaforth NOW PLAYING --THURS. FRL SAT.
