While there have been many drives we believe this one is the most important one to be held in this county. China today holds a unique place in the history of the world. It is China and China alone which will event ually be the mainstay in our war with Japan. They are fighting our war in China and every Jap they kill is one less that our boys will have to kill eventually. We may as well look matters in the face and realize this war with Japan is to kill or be killed. They will never be satisfied until they fight to the very last man. They realize that if they lose this war their fate as a nation will be sealed. The Japanese heretofore have dominated to a large extent all the Far East and they realize that if they wish to keep this domination they must win this war at all cost. They are in a parallel with a big bully who has ruled a certain crowd for a while and know that when this rule is over there are many, many private scores which will have to be settled. j In dominating the Far East they have been merciless in every case. Merciless may be calling it mild, but for the sake of the facts in the case, we must call it ruthless, In being ruthless with all whom they comb ip contact they have indelibly impressed upon the minds of the citizens of Korea, Manchuria and China the fact that to survive they must remain free from the domination of Japan and when the final score is all added up it will be the sum total of the entire destruction of the Japanese people out side of their little islands which compose Japan proper. In assisting in this drive for China Relief we are as- ! sisting in the ultimate destroy a 1 of civilization’s greatest enemy and are at the same time immediately giving as sistance to millions of people who are entirely destitute. In giving generously to China Relief we are feeding the hungry and making strong bodies which will eventual ly assist us in destroying our mutual enemy. Hundreds and thousands of people are dying today in China from hunger who should shoulder a rifle and help repel the enemy. It takes years to rear a soldier from ! birth, yet only a few dollars will preserve that soldier to fight for us. By neglecting to feed these hundreds and thousands of Chinese ^ who are our able allies, we are assisting Japan to win this war. People cannot fight on empty stomachs and it matters not how many men we may send in the near future if we do not send aid to China today the lives of those soldiers whom we will have to send in the future will be sacrificed. China has been gallantly fighting for the last six years v hat has eventually turned out to be our war. We must take the responsibility and carry on from this point, We sold scrap iron to Japan against the pleadings of all Chinese patriots who foresaw this conflict. Now it is up to us to send our dollars over there to help repair an in significant portion of the damage we did in order to earn a few paltrv ' dollars Altei . all, Will be woith little OU1 money should China . fall into the hands of the Japanese.. A few dollars con tributed today may save hundreds and thousands of dollars in the future. Those of you who doubt w’hat China is doing today and those of you who would wish a first-hand description of the horrible things which are happening in that un fortunate land today are cordially invited to come to the First Methodist Church tonight at 8:30 and hear Mrs. Pope Branch as she tells of her experiences there. It will be educational as well as inspirational and we urge you to attend. When you have attended and heard this brilliant woman tell of the China of today we urge you to liberally give to the workers who will call on you in the interest of Chinese Relief. Remember that practically every penny you give goes direct to the Chinese people as only seven cents and less out of each dollar is spent in delivering your dollar direct to those in need. Remember the words of our Creator: “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same meas ure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” -- Some of the brightest and bravest pages in the his tory of this war are being written in the Balkans. Hitler’s brutal legions have overrun the little states—but they have not broken the spirit of the people. The Balkan peo ple, by the million, are fighting back. The saga of General Mikhailovich, the Yugoslavian leader, will make a magnificent book some day. When the Yugoslavian armies were crushed, a plane was ready to take him to safety. But he refused to go. He remained behind to organize the most remarkable guerrilla army in history—an army which has taken a toll of thousands of Germans and Italians. Some 23,000 square miles of rough and difficult country is still controlled by Mikhailovich’s hordes. Hit ler and Mussolini have no bitterer, braver, or more de termmed enemy. Colleges are now so comprehensive they teach young sters how to do almost anything except punctuate and spell. A land of equality is a place where you and the other fellow get equal breaks if you have equal bank rolls. Lite was simple in the old days.

Golden Text; God is our refuge and strength, A very present help ill trouble. Psalm 46:1. Jacob had been compelled to work for fourteen years for Rachel’s hand, and seven years more in the building of his fortune. At last Laban’s treatment became so intolerable that Jacob decided to take his flocks, his followers, and his family and go back to the ) land from which he had originally come. As he neared the border of the homeland, he heard that Esau was approaching with an army. He made quick provision to meet his angry brother, and this is the position in which we find him as our lesson opens. But suddenly as Jacob journeyed | along the road, he met a bright i company of angels. The heavenly host was wearing the accouter ments of war and marching in battle array. To the tired and worn-out Jacob, the sight of a celestial army, radiant with light, armed with weapons no man could withstand, walking with assured step just a few hundred yards awffy, and not only by their ap pearance but by their every move conveying the impression that they were his allies, must have changed his anxiety into calmness, his des pair into a sense of triumph. Said Jacob, “This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahaniam”—which means, “two camps.” The lesson for Jacob was, and the lesson for men and women ever will be, that there are always two camps in life, the earthly and the heavenly, the material and the spiritual, the camp which is seen and that camp which is unseen save to the eyes of faith, This incident occurred thous ailds of years a g°. but God meant to strengthen men and women with the disclosure that they arc never alone. The single verse teaches u: briefly these four lessons; first that Jacob had his vision as h went on his way. it was not i the ecstatic experience of praye or after hours of vigil that th divine assurance came to him. I was on a day when he pioddin along, weary of body and anxiou of mind, that the heavenly hof came to cheer and strengthen him The secor,d le9SOn is that Jac0 rec °g nized the heavenly host wne he saw it. Visions are never wast ed on people who cannot under stand their meaning. Becaus Jacob was a religious man, iv understood what God was tryinr to say to him. * In the third P} ace ’ the VI3i01 P romised what he most ’ nePded £oldiers ' Smging anRels clad in bri £ ht array would have been lltt,e use to Jacob. God’s gifts to us are always given just when we need them and in the form we need them. Last of ail, he met the heavenly host in an hour of crisis. The vision coll,d not have been £ iven at a,,y ° ,her time and have Deen s0 effec " tive-in establishing Jacob’s morale We can be sure that God’s bles sings will come to us, not only in the form we most need but at pre cisely the right moment, With full confidence in his abili ty to handle any difficult situa tion, Jacob attempted to overawe his simple-minded brother with a show of his wealth and power. The word he sent was, I have been so journing with our uncle Laban, and I am coming back home rich in flocks, herds, and servants. “I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in thy sight.” When the messengers return ed with the information that Esau and his armed forces were march ing steadily toward them, Jacob was thoroughly frightened. He divided his company into two groups, hoping that if one was de stroyed the other might escape. Here was a man whom God cou ld use as a leader, once his nature had been cleansed and his powers turned into the channel of righteous purpose. He was pre solving, shrewd, and brave to the 1 xtent that he would allow no dan s er to deter him from an un_ dertaking. If this man could be tescued from his meanness and f ayed to higher things, God could make conspicuous use of his tal ents. Because he believed in God, .incob was determined to see this alarming situation through to the trid - He was sti " ™»n and seif seeking, but the hand of God lay prophetically on his heart, and he knevv ’ himse,f to be a man set a ' " ^ woTnotT'turned back at the very entrance of the pro mised land, even by Esau and his four hundred men. He would di vide his company into two groups and wait to see what Esau would do. In the meantime, although he knew it not, God was preparing for him an ordeal in which his soul would be transformed. M this juncTire Jacob prayed as men can pray only when they ( are confronted with ruin. -It is well for us to note both the form and the content of this prayer, for therein are the real qualities of the man’s soul revealed. He began his prayer by acknow ledging the might and power of God. He called upon Jehovah as the God of Abraham and Isaac. Our Lord, when he taught his disciples to pray, made the open ing words of his famous prayer an j ascription of praise to God_“Our Father, who art in heaven, hal lowed be thy name—” All prayers which are mighty in spiritual pow er are filled with praise. A prayer which merely asks God to give us something may be too selfish a j prayer for God to answer in the i way we desire. We must make an | offering to God every time we pray, and one of the most accept able offerings is praise, Then Jacob called God’s atten tion to the promise. He had made, God had commanded him to return to his country and had promised to do him good. Furthermore, he would make his seed as the sand of the sea "which cannot be numbered for multitude.” God wants us always to remem ber his promises. The Bible is full of them. They are sincerely made, and God wants us to keep our selves keenly conscious of the fact j that He stands ready to fulfill them, every one. Then Jacob confessed his un worthiness. “I am not worthy of the least of all the loving-kind- ( ness,” he declared, "and of all the ; truth, unto thy which thou hast showed j servant . . .’’When the mean schemer who had lived so consistently for his own selfish ends said that and meant it, he was getting his soul ready to re ceive a great gift from God. Last of all, Jacob asked for de- j liverence. He feared Esau lest he | come and smite him, and he had good cause to fehr. “Deliver me, J pray thee,” he said. Our greatest prayer must al- j j ways be for deliverance. To be escued from evil is the greatest 'dessing we can ever exprience. ^his Jacob sought, and in so doing ic sought God’s highest good. But Jacob, even as he prayed. I vas far from being a true servant : T God. He still relied upon his own ! owers, and as he arose from his knees it was with the full confi- j dence that God would come in J and supplement his powers and j ’elp him to out wit his brotherI nd to take the promised land. j As he crossed the brook Jabbok, 'owever, he suddenly felt himself j 'aid hold on by mighty hands. It bad never occurred to him that he I j nould not enter the promised land until he had come face to face I with God and squared everything 1 with the Almighty. Jacob thought the land must be j j won by his own prowess; God bar red his way until he learned the j truth that he would possess it only when God saw fit to give it to him. In this wresting, Jacob felt his j carnal weapons become lamed and J useless. As the result of this struggle, he left his natural self j behind; and he rose from it an altered man. His lameness throughout life waa to be a memento of the fact that the power of God is every- j thing and the power of man is nothing. Henceforth he was to be not j Jacob the supplanter but Israel the j prince, the one who wrestled with i God, the one who persevered until character was achieved. The sun rose indeed upon him as ! he walked out a redeemed man in j the brightness of a new day. Newborn Mrs. W. P. Raymond, of Tam- | ; pa.
