If this war lasts very long, some
persons are saying, a new Dark Age
noay descend upon the earth. Civili
zation as it is known today will be
destroyed, they predict, and prog
ress will be set back several gene
rations. It isa gloomy picture, we
must admit. It is not safe to pre
dict that it will not come into be-
sunk by the enemy. That, of course
will cause disappointment. Many
a boy in foreign service will not
receive the expected letter or par
cel, perhaps a Christmas package.
This does not happen often, and
while mail may be delayed for one
reason or another it usually gets
through and the recipient may re
ceive a batch of cards and letters,
papers and parcels at the . same
time. Thesame thing applies to the
folks at home. Letters often come
in bunches. Don’t worry over the
delay, or complain at the postal
service should you fail to hear as
promptly as you think you should
from loved ones in the service. With
good mailing practices at the point
of origin, all can help to have sol
Ing. Civilization now is living on its
capital in one of the bloodiest and diers "and civilian mail delivered
most desperate of wars. It may be more promptly. Always timely, this
that one of the penalties of the war is especially so now since the vol-
will be an involuntary spiritual and ume of Christmas mail for overseas
intellectual bankruptcy. I delivery is the heaviest on record.
We are advised that after Nov. 15
no commercial vehicle will be per
mitted without having obtained a
certificate of war necessity from the
Office of War Transportation. Ap
plication blanks have been mailed
out to all truck owners whose ve
hicles are registered with the state
and each owner is instructed to fill
in the application and return it at
once to the central mailing office.
But, it is reported, a large percent
of the truck owners have not re
turned their applications. In order
to be able to use their trucks and
also to prevent a “bottle-neck” in
the last few days of the period be
tween now and Nov. 15, truck own
ers should fill out their applica
tions and return them at once.

The following impressive prayer
is from the “Bookof Common Wor
ship” of the Presbyterian Church in
the U. S. A. It is called "A Prayer
in Time of War," and is as follows:
"O Lord God of infinite mercy, we
humbly beseech Thee to look down
upon the nations now engaged in
war. Reckon not against Thy peo
pie their many iniquities, for from
the lusts of our own hearts come
war and fightings amongst us. Look
in mercy on those immediately ex
posed to peril, conflict, sickness,
and death; comfort the prisoners,
relieve the sufferings of the wound
ed, and show mercy to the dying.
Remove in Thy good providence all
causes and occasions of war, re
strian those engaged therein from
needless cruelty and frightfulnes^;
and of Thy great goodness restore
a just peace among the nations;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen."
