l £ Resume Of War Overseas
The average reader, following the official war com
muniques from the belligerent powers, goes around in
,
‘' something of a daze. They simply don’t make sense. The
■ Germans, for instance, will claim the destruction of 50
British war planes with losses of but 15 of their own ships,
while the British, on the same day, will reverse the fig
i ures. And the dispatches of the war correspondents are
not a great deal more helpful for the most part. These
1 correspondents are able and honest reporters, but they are
1 subjected to an iron censorship and must necessarily couch
their comment in vague terms. And the warring govern
! ments make sure that the correspondents see only what
: them to see.
: Thus the confused reader must look largely to other
: sources of information if he seeks an approximation of the
truth. And such other sources exist in this country. The
War and Navy departments have channels of information
which have proven extremely accurate. They maintain
i naval and military attaches in countries with which we
have diplomatic relations, whose job it is to coldly discern
1 the facts, unaffected by sentiment. And, according to
I', late accounts, these observers are convinced that the Brit
ish reports of give-and-take in the great war now going on
I in the air are far more accurate than the German.
That comes as good news to most of the American
people, who believe that the defeat of England would
gravely endanger us. Apparently it is true that British
pilots and planes are better than the German. Further
I more, it is believed in some official circles that the British

The English one very this
war. Only a handful of British planes are sent over the
continent, while hundreds of German planes are sent over
England—the Nazis are on the offensive, and Britain’s
raids on Germany are largely of a retaliatory character.
] That means that when a German pilot bails out of a de
stroyed ship and lands safely he goes to a prison camp—
while a British pilot who saves himself with his parachute
lives to fight fo • the Crown another day. German planes
| crashing on the “tight little island’’ are of salvage value
to the British, as are their own planes.
1 This doesn’t mean that Germany has lost the balance
of air power, so far as the statistics are concerned. Best
I ,estimates place the German first-line force at 12,000 ships,
ias against 6,000 for England. And Germany probably has
more trained pilots. But it does mean that Britain is catch
ing up. And it is reported that some recently captured Ger
man pilots had only half the training that is given English
;pilots before they are sent into combat. Whether that is
the result of a shortage of pilots in Germany, or a policy of
holding her best men in reserve for a future attack of un
precedented severity, is a matter of question. American
military experts give Britain a far better chance of sur
viving now than they gave her two or three months back.

after the collapse of France.
1 , Britain, of course, is still in grave danger. If fog pre
vents flying, it also provides a screen for an invasion over
water. Hitler is known to have constructed armadas of
shallow draft boats, equipped to carry tanks and field
■ pieces as well as troops. That is one reason why Great
1 Britain needed the 50 over-age destroyers we recently

! sessions in this hemisphere. With the destroyers she has

f must be kept elsewhere, she probably had only 50 or 60 of
these ships of her own for Island defense. And destroyers
are far more effective in the narrow Channel than are
i larger, slower and less easily maneuvered ships. At any
i rate, the experts are becoming more hopeful over Britain’ j
chances daily. And they are also becoming convinced
i that air attacks cannot produce nearly the damage and the
terror the proponents of ruthless air warfare anticipated.

Sunday School Lesson
The Ever-Present God
Lesson: Psalm 139.
Golden Text: If a man love me,
he will keep my word, and my
Father will love him, and we will
come unto him. and make our
abode with him. John 14:23.
The 139th Psalm is a poetic des
cription of the all-knowing, ever
present God, whom to know and
worship is life eternal.
This psalm starts with the dec
laration that God searches r? " -
knows us. The word “search” in
the original means s boie o. u
as for water or metals.
How wewll this describes the
care and watchfulness of our
Heavenly Father! He is great and
powerful enough to create the
planets and hold them in their
course, yet loves us and takes
such interest in us that He knows
our natures to the smallest parti
cle of their being. God knows us
altogether. Looking into our
hearts, He sees what we have
made of his gifts. There is nothing
about us, either for good or evil,
that He does not fully understand
and appreciate.
Under certain conditions this
may alarm us. But it carries with
it just as great possibility to bless
us and make us glad. It is true
that god knows all the evil of our
hearts, but it is true also that He
knows all the good.
We can be sure that the God
who knows our every power looks
with infinite solicitude upon us
every moment and presses us to
use our power of free choice to
the upbuilding of our characters.
Furthermore, God understands a
man’s thoughts “afar off ” That
is. God, even in his high Heaven
knows what each individual wor
shiper is thinking about on earth
The declaration also may mean
that God anticipates a man’s
and the more God blesses us, the
more do we stand in awe before
his wisdom and goodness.

Rangers Ashe and Thornton, pa

thoughts, knowing them before
the man himself entertanis them
in his consciousness.
It may well arrest our attention,
and that with no little concern, as
we recall how God in his infinite
wisdom knows our every thought.
The mest man on earth woulld
hesitate to turn his thuoghts in
side out before the world. Often]
people employ every conceivable
subterfuge in order to keep a
knowledge of their thoughts from
others. Yet how much worse to
have God know some of our
thoughts.
It shlould shame us as we recall
the low impulses we have cher
ished; the uncleanness that has
swept over us; the hateful
thoughts which have furrowed
! our finds in bittreness.
“As a man thinketh in his
heart, so he is.” We can be right
with God only as we kekep our
thoughts right. There can be no
true worship until we praise God
with heart and mind as well as
with lips. The statement that God
searches out our path really means
“ winnow - s ” our path. That is, as
the farmer winnows the wheat
and all the chaff is cast out and I
only the good grain remains, so
God sifts the good from the evil
and turns our feet, if we will let
Him do so, into paths that are al
together righteous.
Our words are known of God
and carefully weighed. All loose
and profane talk, gossip, lies, and
the malicious tearing down of a
neighbor’s reputation and good
name are things hideous in the
sight of God. He is pleased by
nothing but praise, kindly speech,
encouraging words, good cheer.
Religious faith deals with truths
the nature of which are beyond
our comprehension. It was not
only the psalmist who could not
understand the wonderful knowl
edge and power of God. This has
