ed this desolate fortress on the bor- ders of Poland, by which time a new inscription written in German had appeared on the 1abel-"This parcel must not be opened until June 27th. It must be kept in a cool place"
 Had that announcement appeared on the label when the parcels went through the German frontier custom house they would have been opened and examined. The inscription, how ever, was written in vanishing ink, which takes four days o~fade up, and which did not make it's appearance until the parcels were well on their way into the interior of Germany. Those who sent them knew the con- dition of the camp, and they knew that the commandant's private store house was the only cool place in the fortress-it was the middle of June and a very hot summer.
 The parcels arrived, were examins ed by the commandant, considerably puzzled and, the conspirators guessed. were taken to his store. Had they been addressed to prisoner they would have been opened inn mediately and if the delaying inscrip- ton had appeared on any prisoner g parcel the commandant would have suspe cted, and would immediately have examined it.
 As it was. he was just puzzled, put the two parcels in his store, like the obedisnt soldier he was, and left

But something more was required than just getting clear of the camp There were vast tracts of moorland to negotiate. without maps anu cornnasses escape was almost impos- sible and 1t was for maps and com passes that he was constantly on the lookout
 Code messages went through to London giving a continuous record of failure, and 1t seemed impossible that the men could secure the neces- sary assistance to escape. The Com nittee took counsel together, and a scheme was evolved
 number of the best maps that could be secured and a dozen Of the finest small compasses that could be bought. together with a supply of pes dometers and small electric torches were purchased and packed into two so,a11 boxes These were addressed to the commandant of the camp, and were smuggled out of Britain into a neutral country
 In that country they were posted to Germany, and having been thou yhtfully labelled "On the Service of the Imperial Government-Ur- gent" GA label being printed for that purpose in London) they went through to their destination, two prisoners at the camp having been previously advised by code that the parcels were arriving.

One method of secret Cornmunfca- Jfon was to draw diagonal lines from one corner of the letter to its opposite and lower corner and from a point where the lines met describe a circle. every word which the circle passed through forming the secret mess age.
 Another method was 10 divide the sheet of paper in half and draw a diagonal line from the top left hand corner to the centre and from the centre to the bottom left-hand cor ner.
 Where the lines crossed a word that word was part of the message.
 Of the many brilliant exploits to the credit of the Committes I have always regarded the outwitting of the conmandant at a fortress camp on the Polish frontier as being one of the most brilliant. Here they were set a task which seemed impos- .sibie.
 The German officer in charge was d very shrewd, able ex-police official. who was up to every trick, who srnelt an escape before it could be brought to a successful issue and who Iknew. moreover. that in Britain there was a society which was help ing prisoners to escape from captiv- ity
 Certain apparatus, such as com passes, maps, etc. were necessary TO escape from this. wilderness. and tmany were the attempts which were made to get these articles through.

Files and compasses were forwarded only to be ruthlessIy discovered by the willy German.
 II did not matter what they did They could send their fine flexible hIes wound up inside chocolate creams. their maps written in inTisi- ble ink on pocket handkerchiefs, their compasses beautifully embedded fin oranges, he would detect them, and with good-humored smile would summon the chagrined young g man for whom they were intended, informing him that there was noth- ing doing (that was his favorite American expression), and the young man would have to accept the situa- ton philosophically.
 Ingenious and Plucky.
 The prisoners got desperate. Like all members of strafe camps, they were an ingenious and plucky lot, and clever as the commandant was, he could not prevent their having a great deal of their own way.
 For example. he knew that they had the run of the fort, and that if they could not get out there were precious few places within the fortress they could not get to. Locks. bolts. and bars literally flew asunder un- der their magic touch, and he had even found traces of their presence in his own office. They were. in fact, like all the {strafe prisoners expert burglars-and if it was only a question of breaking material h~s'.1S they would have Apade their escape long ago.

POWER OF THE GOSPEL"
 SERMON BY nR M,NEIII

From the fortieth chapter of Isaiah Dr, ,s John McNei1l, pastor of the South Highlands Presbyterian church. yester day morning preached verySable ser mon on the subject of the power of the gospel to comfort man and to make him strong through his weakness.
 I call this chapter a marvellous prose anthem of comfort" said Dr. McNeili. Tt is a comfort to all the people. A large part of the Christian ministry, and large part of the preaching, Sis warm ing, though sometimes it falls too much like shower of gravel upon our heads. But it brings the blessed words of com. fort and helpfulness. From it we learn that when we are forgiven it is not in a vague, unsatisfactory way, but a com fortng forgiveness
 ''Ycu get too much of the message out side of the pulpit, and eften that inside the pulpit Is too gloomy. It's a dreary world from the cradle to the grave God doesn't deny that there is weariness al the cradle. and He doesn't deny that there is weariuess ar the grave, but above it all there is the message, the eternal light that's shining for all; that well not be left at the mercy of the cross currents of this old world.
 'arhe word of God stands for all time statesmen and orators and scientists ano laborers have learned to love 1t and they bear witness to it's comforting m fluence
 we've come upon-a day when we think it's rude to speak Gods word. some times in the church we don't speak Goo ; word because We fear the people won like it. Lift up thy voice, open the wln- dows, let the bright, wholesome light In. Everything fails if the preacher falters in preaching the gospel.

her attitude toward it.. Another might receive a bundle and be extremely happy. Life is a series of attitudes and we are as happy as we chose to be, considering the trials we must face"
 In contrasting this season of thanks giving with that of last year. pr. Ed monds called attention to the great in- fluenza epidemic that swept the country at that time. We can be thankful that this year only few deaths have occurred from the dread disease" said Dr. Ed rnonds. Last year even the churches were closed and death was everywhere. We have many things to be thankful for at this season of. the year. What am I thapkful for? What are you thankful for? I am thankful that the war is over It was over last year. but then we had a big hackwash from it. The armistice was signed, but many of our soldier boys had not been heard from even while we were celebrating the armstice and many of us were in a fever of suspense I am thank ful for the physical condition of the world and the United States. There can never he famine in this country. because nature has so favored US that we can raise every necessity in the way of food. am thankful that we are not looking toward a change such as the kings of Ft1rope have witnessed. No king in America need look forward toward the end of his reign because in America the peonle are our king. And the people are strong enough 10 weather any storm over government It is impossible to dethrone a whole peo- pie, and for that reason we will weather the crisis of unrest we are now going through

sides of the Atlantic is in it's lack of a vision of God. You don't see God as an emperor, a president, a scientist or a laborer. He is the comforter, the helper.
 If that had been ringing out for :, years there would have been no war, and there will be wars as long as 1t does not ring out ! don't know of any place in the scriptures where that idea of God is brought out stronger than the idea of strength and gentleness. It is. correc- tive of national pride; it is corrective of individual pride All nations are be- fore God as nothing. z
 We talk of solving problems and never look to the great oracle; never name the name of God. If we could believe 1t was through modesty it would be all right. but it is not that
 The second sacred concert of the vest ed choir under the direction of Forrest Dabney Carr will be rendered at the South Highland Presbyterian church next Sunday night at 7:So o'clock, follow ing a sermon by Dr. McNeill The choir comprises over 90 voices and under the leadership of Mir. Carr has developed wonderfully in the three months since it was organized.

 Few stories of the times offer greater scope for such a work. In the matter of scenic beauty, the San Bernardino noun tains, the locale of so much of the TO- nance, could not but inspire the pro- ducers.
