WAR PROPAGANDA / Never in our history has there been such open propaganda for of fensive action that would make unavoid able our prompt in- volvement in war on i the other side of the ggjp world war indeed i • lpjjj|| over a range at least AM as wide as the vast f > ; stretch from the ® tra^s °f Malacca to the Straits of Dover, It might be wider. § if we en^er s war Gen. Johnson 0 n the side of Eng land, whatever we call ourselves we shall be her ally. We must fight wherever defeat threatens, or vic tory beckons. It now seems quite probable that the direction of the war has turned from westward to southeastward. New Theaters threaten in the Medi terranean, the Balkans, perhaps Persia, the Persian gulf and, even unto India. That is the British domain on which “the sun never sets.” Propa gandists now openly say that to pre serve democracy on earth we must preserve the British empire. Per haps the millions of conquered and exploited black people in Africa and brown people in Asia and Malaysia are their idea of democracy; but to try to push this great, powerful and peaceful nation into wars to protect such fo'reign possessions is hysteria that has broken all bonds of reason. These war-minded men advance measures which could take us into such remote and sterile fields as “defense of America.” They say that the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are no longer barriers of defense, but avenues of attack. Since Hitler can’t cross twenty-odd miles of the British channel to get at Britain with a land army, it is a safe bet that he doesn’t turn up his nose at the At lantic ocean, even if these potential architects of their country’s disaster do so every day in their war danc ing madness. If we push our belated defense preparations on land and seas as rapidly as possible, the chance of our involvement in bloody war, no matter what may come, is too re mote to consider. The catastrophe of our involve ment in war would not be merely the bloody loss and danger to life and limb. It would immediately ad journ our free democracy for a w ar dictatorship. It would permanently adjourn our free economic system of private ownership and liberty of en terprise by so burdening it with ad ditional debt and taxes that the gov ernment would control all private property and absorb all private in come in the United States. * * * ST. LAWRENCE WATERWAY The senate has twice refused to ratify the St. Lawrence waterway. It never was and never will be a waterway project. It is a power project. It was called a shipway to fool the Middle West. Actually a 10,000 cubic foot diversion into the Mississippi from Lake Michigan which was bargained for with Can ada in the boundary waters treaty for the Chicago Drainage canal has al ready been largely surrendered. That greatly helped low water navi gation in the Mississippi. Its sur render hurt every Mississippi valley state far more than the St. Law rence can ever help them. The plea was “Great Lakes navi gation.” The facts were that inex pensive works in the lake outlets could have raised their levels 10 times the amount that diversion low ered them. The motive was not navigation but power—and, in that particular case, private power at Niagara Falls. • • • SHADES OF TEXAS GUINAN “Hello, suckers!” So Texas Guinan used to greet her guests in her high-class honky-tonk, where she sold them champagne which they knew to be faked from apple cider, at prices which they knew to be multiplied. She fleeced them out rageously in many other obvious ways from the moment they gave their wraps to the hat girl to the in stant of their departure. She was rolling them, but made no effort to conceal that process of her methods of doing it. Texas Guinan was tops in invent ing and putting over attractive fakes. She gloried in being able to do that even while laughing openly at the weakness of their deception and the incredible gullibility of the suckers who swallowed them, paid through the nose for them, and clamored for more. • * * GOVERNMENT SPENDING Some time before the effort to pro tect ourselves at a cost of billions, Assistant Secretary of State Adolf Berle boldly told the Senate O’Ma honey business-baiting committee that increase in federal debt and taxes would inevitably result in final federal ownership and operation of ah private property. The job was ane-third complete before the “na tional defense” spending began. When the new “national defense” taxes and restrictions are fully ap plied it will be at least two-thirds. Household News , THE COVERED DISH CHURCH SUPPER |£ (See Recipes Below) As I sit here thinking about church suppers, my mind wanders back several years to the suppers I at tended in my old home town. There was always a feeling of congeniali ty, of hospitality and fellowship. The annual church supper was some thing that couldn’t be, and wouldn’t be, missed. Many times it was a covered dish supper. There was usually a great variety of food. The menu was di vided up into the main dish, the sal ad, the bread and butter, and the dessert. Each lady of the church was made responsible for one item of the menu; and she, no doubt, pre pared her own favorite recipe. Can you pass a table containing a tempting assortment of foods with out wanting at least a taste of everything? Can J you decide wheth er or not you yJr want the cocoanut / f (■wi/i cream pie which f is heaped with fluffy whipped cream, or the rich-looking chocolate cake with the thick fudge icing, when you know that you are entitled to only one des sert? Of course not! Instead of hav ing such a wide selection of food for a covered dish supper, why not plan a well-balanced menu so that every one gets exactly the same? Hot Water Cheese Pastry.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 3 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS DECLARES HIS MISSION LESSON TEXT—Luke 4:16-30. GOLDEN TEXT—For the Son of man Is come to seek and to save that which was lost.—Luke 10:10. Ready for service! It’s an excit ing and auspicious occasion when the one who has prepared for a life work is ready to set forth on his mission. Joy and sorrow mingle; encouragement and opposition both appear and become his constant companions. Recognizing God and following His Word is of greatest importance on such a day. The mission upon which Jesus en tered on the day of our lesson w T as important far beyond any service of man, for, while He set out upon an earthly ministry of doing good, it led to the cross where He wrought out deliverance for the captives of Satan. That day found Him back with His own people in the syna gogue in His home town. I. Prophecy Fulfilled (vv. 16-22). It is significant and appropriate that Jesus' declaration of Himself as the fulfillment of Isaiah 61:1, 2 was made in the synagogue on the Sab bath day. He met with the people in the house and at the time set apart for God’s worship. He op posed spiritual deadness, the misin terpretation of the truth, the distor tion of religious principles; but He was not, as some would have us be lieve, a religious free lance who despised the established worship of His people. Having been prepared by the years of silence, and more particu larly by the baptism and the tempta tion in the wilderness, He appeared at the synagogue in Nazareth to de clare Himself as the fulfillment of prophecy. Those who teach that Jesus was only a young Jewish teacher with a new philosophy of life have evidently not read the Scriptures. He knew Himself to be God’s Son come into the world to bring the good news of salvation by His own blood to poor, sin-captive, blinded and bruised humanity. He is the Sav iour! Look at Isaiah 61:1, 2 and note that Jesus stopped reading before the entj of the Sentence. “The day of vengeance of our God” will come when Christ returns. This is the day of grace. Sinners are urged to accept God’s love now, and thus to escape the terrible day of judg ment. 11. Faith Recognized (w. 23-27). The Jews gloried in the fact that they were the chosen people of God and insisted it was through the ex ercises of their formal worship that God’s blessing must be received. Now this one whom they erroneously call “Joseph’s son” (v. 22) comes to disturb them in their self-satisfac tion. Seeing their rising resent ment, He declares by striking words and example that the benefits and blessings of God come through faith and not because of any racial rela tionship. The glory of Christianity is that its grace and power are to be re ceived by faith and are fully and freely available to the simplest and poorest of men. Race, position, wealth, education, have nothing to do with it. All too often they are a hindrance, although they ought rather to be a help. Every reader of these notes, re gardless of age, education, wealth or any other condition or circum s.arce of life, stands on an equal footing before God and has a full and unlimited opportunity to take right now, by faith in Christ, all that God has for him—salvation, spiritual strength and usefulness, joy, peace, and all the other bless ing of God. Will you do it? 111. Truth Rejected (vv. 28-30). Like a torch cast into gunpowder, His words set off all the explosive power of narrow bigotry, national pride, jealousy, and they were all “filled with wrath” (v. 28). They rejected not only the truth of His words, but they rejected Him who is the Truth (John 14:6). Note it carefully—in rejecting or neglect ing His Word, you reject and neglect Him. Observe that until the time had come for Him to be “delivered” (Rom. 4:25) into the hands of wicked men to be crucified they could not touch Him. There is no more majestic scene than that in verse 30 where the Son of God turned at the brow of the hill and, walking through the midst of the crowd, went His way. What have I to fear at the hands of wicked and gainsaying men as long as I follow this all-powerful Son of God? He that is for us and in us is greater than he (the devil) that is in the world (I John 4:4). We follow the victorious Christ, who quietly but majestically walks through the ranks of His helpless enemies and goes “His way.” Will you join us—today? Be Temperate Woe to them that rise up early in the morning that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them.—lsa. 5:11.
