Cecil Brown, the well known foreign correspondent
recently made a speaking tour of this country. In a radio
broadcast from Los Angeles, he said that he had been
enormously impressed by the incredible strides American
industry is making in producing for war. At the same
time, he added, he was disturbed by the excessive degree
of optimism hold by many of us. In shoit, too large a
proportion of the American people are not yet convinced
that this will be a long and hard war.
That kind of optimism is not held in informed circles,
Most of the experts still think that another New' Year’s
day will come before the United Nations will be able to
engage in major, continued offensive drives against the
pnemy. in 1943, they forecast, a gigantic effort to knock
Hitler out of the war will be made. Then, in 1944, the
United Nations will be able to turn their full and undivid
ed attention to Japan. And so, by that year’s end, the
war may be over.
Other experts consider that time-table too optimistic.
They argue that both Germany and Japan have immense
armies and resources, and that it will take another year
or two to wear them down and bring them to their knees.
In any event, no informed commentator subscribes to the
current rumors that the war is likely to be ended before
1942 passes. And none of them make the popular mis
take of thinking that minor United Nations’ victories con
stitute major disasters for the enemy.
In the meantime, this country has reason to be im
mensely proud of the quality and character of its fighting
forces. After the debacle at Pearl Harbor, it took
us months to get organized. For a long time there was
lack of accurate coordination between the various branch
eg of the military services. Now, apparently, conditions
have na\e undercone undergone a a great ereat chance cnange for ior the me better neiier. The me gi $ri
gantic Japanese-American sea engagement around Mid
way island is an example. The Japanese, after making
their feint at Dutch Harbor with a few bombers and pur
suit planes, apparently expected that American command
ers would hysterically disperse their forces. In all proba
bility, they definitely expected to take both Midway and
Oahu. But the American commanders, working on ex
tremely accurate information provided by the Intelligence
services, were ready. The Navy, the Army and the Ma
rines worked in perfect harmony. The result was the
most serious setback Japan has yet taken in the
war. That battle, coming on top of the Coral Sea en
gagement, must be causing plenty of headaches among
the moguls in Tokyo. They caught our forces asleep at
Pearl Harbor. But our forces are 100 per cent awake
and on their toes now.
This latest Pacific battle is important for the
ing handed Japanese military power. Its greatest
portance lies in the fact that it may have tipped
scales of Pacific naval power in our favor. After Pearl
Harbor, the Japanese fleet was supreme in the
Japan also had air supremacy. Now American war
sels which were damaged at Pearl Harbor are back
service, new ships have been sent to join the fleet,
our air power has been tremendously increased.
production capacity is many times that of Japan in
fields. The Mikado, in brief, doesn t look as-big and
as. he once did.
When we finally take the offensive in the
we may expect hard going for a considerable time. It
obvious that Japan has developed the mandated
as well as her own islands, to a very high degree so
as military power is concerned. She may have
hundreds of air, naval and submarine bases and her
has been to create a ring of steel about her own part
the Pacific. It will be a real job to destroy these
tions—and we can’t do it overnight. We must
losses as well as victories. But no one with any
of American war production and American fighting
can doubt that the job will be done. The United
tions’ commanders will not be satisfied with a partial
torv this time. They intend to take the war straight
Berlin and Tokyo, and give the Axis powers a full
of the kind of treatment dealt out to the countries
have subjugated.

For sheer unnecessary cruelty, the Axis leaders
bear comparison with the blood-loving conquerors of

Additional evidence has been produced to
substantiate Anthony Eden’s almost unbelievable

The Task Committed to
the Disciples
Lesson: Matthew 28:16-20:
Mark 16:14-20: Luke 24:40-53.
Goldent Text: Go ye into all
the world, and preach the gospel
to the whole creation. Mark 16:15.
So much emphasis is laid upon
the earthly ministry of our Lord,
especially on his teachings and
healings, that Bible readers fre
quently miss the significances of
those forty days during which, in
his resurrected state, our Lord
appeared to his disciples and
taught them.
Some of the most important
lessons the disciples leari.ed were
taught them during this post
resurrection period. They could
understand certain mysteries of
the faith only when they viewed
them in the light of the cruci
fixion and resurrection.
"But go, tell his disciples and
Peter, He goeth before you into
Galilee: there shall ye see him, as
he said unto you” 'Mark
rt ] ese ' v * re ^ e wo ^ 1 v ' hlch the
heard uttered by the an^el at the
open door of the tomb. Jesus had
p,ann * d *° me et h [ s d ’ sci P le s and
give them final , instructions before u
his ascension. The meeting in
Galilee was by divine appoint
ment.
We are told that when the dis
eiples saw him, they worshiped
him. The joyful realization swept
over them that not in a blaze of
glory, but through the trials of
crucifixion God's Messiah was to
come to his kingdom.
But there were some there who
did not share the faith of the
eleven apostles. As they now saw
Jesus, he resembled so much the
figure they had known in Galilee
that they could see no glory in
him. They may have suspected
that a trick was being played up
on them and a man who looked
like their friend had been sub
stituted. At any rate we are told
that some doubted.
When the apostles and other
disciples were gathered before
him, our Lord announced that all
auhority had been given him in
heaven and on earth. Every word
in this sentence is significant. He
had been given not only power,
but authority. This means the
light to command or act, a power
exercised by a person by virtue
of hi * offic€ ' 11 is stated several
Kmes in the New Testament that
this authority was conferred upon
j him Furthermore, when he rose from given the dead.
he was all an
thority, and this means exactly
what it says.
He has all authority in heaven,
which means that in that unseen
world the spiritual being whom
we knew in the flesh as Jesus of
Nazareth has been crowned King,
Rut he has been given all authori
ty on the earth also. We are told
> n the Gospel of John (1:3) that
all things were made by him. To
day every event in life takes
place either at his command or as
the result of his sufferance. We
are given assurance that in the
end. even though man by the ex
ercise of his free will flouts the
will of Christ, nevertheless all
things will be brought at last un
der his eternal power.
Jesus made these things so plain
that we disregard them at our
peril,

The second command is, “make
disciples of a n the nations.” The
literal translation is, “disciple the
nations.” Their attempt must be
to make nations as well
uals Christian. Furthermore.

nations.
The disciples were instructed
to baptize their converts. This
rite has always been a sign and
symbol of repentance on the sin
ner's part, and forgiveness on the
part of God. They were to be
baptized into the fulness of divine
life—"into the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit.”
I-ast of all they were to teach
the helpful customs and impart
the principles of life which their
Lord had set forth during
ministry. They were constantly
to remind theiF hearers that a
certain type of conduct must ac

end of the world.” Centuries be
fore, it had been prophesied that
the Messiah could be named Im~
manuel, "which is, being inter
preted, God with us.”
Many of the details of the resur
rection and post-resurrection ac
counts are confusing to our minds
today. This is because we often
connect events which the New
Testament writers did not intend
us to regard as following one up
on the other, or perhaps separate
events which are intended to be
regarded as one.
We are told that they went
forth and preached everywhere.
They matched the Great Com
mission with prompt action. The
lesson to us and to all ages of be
lievers in this: match Christ's
challenge with prompt action. By
word and deed preach Christ
everywhere.
But we are told not only that
the disciples responded, but that
our Lord’s promise was also glori
ously fulfilled. The Lord worked
with them and confirmed their
words by many signs.
Luke gives us an interesting de
tail when he relates that our Lord
commanded his disciples to tarry
in Jerusalem until they were
clothed with power from on high.
They were not to rush into their
Lord’s work. Success depended
; not pimarily upon their efforts,
important as these were, but upon
the divine power which would be
given them for their tasks.
But the disciples did not tarry
in idleness until the gift was giv
en. Had they done so, the gift
of power would never have been
theirs. They were
in prayer, and it was while they
were thus engaged that the Holy
j Spirit came upon them,
We are to tarry until we are
clothed with power. But to tarry
does not mean that we are to go
into the tasks of life unprepared.
We are to take time to prepare
ourselves in prayer and medi
tation, conscious that when we are
ready to receive the spiritual gifts
which will make us adequate to
every task, God will bestow them
upon us .
When he had led his disciples
out until they were over against
Bethany, our Lord lifted up his
hands and blessed them; and as
they were watching him, he ls
cended up into heaven. They
prostra,ed themselves upon the
ground as he disappeared from
their sight, and then returned to
Jerusalem with great joy. This
was the last of the resurrection
appearances, and they knew it.
But still they returned to the city
with great joy. Why? Because
they knew that while he had van
ished from their sight, he had not
departed from their world. He
was with them now, spiritually, in
a far more significant way than
he had ever been with them be
foe.
