We need the same characteristics
that distinguish a great general
the plus of character, the plus
that will change the world. We
all agree on one thing-that we
ought to be different, and that
the world ought to be different.
If people were different and had
the power to change the men and
the nations, that would be the
answer to all our problems. And
that is what the Oxford Group
believes. 1t is just as simple and
natural and normal as that, and
it is just what everybody is wait
ing for. It is a national necessity.
Why don't we reach the age of
sanity and do it
Events are focusing us to the
only program of sane control
God control. I was called into
conference with one of the great
world statesmen. He simply said
that he was living in an insane
world-a world that had not yet
grasped the great truth that the
only sane people in an insane
world are those who are guided
by God. He was perplexed and
dumbfounded by the colossal ex-
penditure on ornaments. He saw
the taxes mounting before his
eyes which someone ultimately
would have to pay. We will find
our national security only in
Moral Re-Armainent. The choice
is guidance or guns. We must
listen to guidance or we will
listen to guns. The choice is be-
tween a vortex of fear and a
pageant of triumph.
Program From God
Del Monte demonstrates that
every man in every land should
listen to guidance. For every
home in every land the natural
and normal thing is to get their
program from God. In industry,
IN the workshop, in the nations
life, in Parliament the normal
thing is to listen to God. Each
nation expresses it in its own
way. one nation in one way, and
another in another, but all God
controlled and Cooled. Thus
with God leading, all will under
stand each other.
Here in this philosophy is last
ing peace, and only here. You
will not find it in any other
quarter. It is the peace that is
born in God control God control
means asking for guidance. It is
a forgotten factor in world poll
tics today-listening to guidance.
Yet in certain countries all the
laws of the land are still made
at least according to the Statute
Book Under Divine Guidance"
But suppose every individual had
the Moral Re-Armament of God
control. Think what a strength
that would be throughout the
world. It would call into action
those latent powers which we
oftentimes hide under a cover of
false reserve and call it national
character. If those latent powers
were released and modified UNI
der God they could generate
enough power to change the
thinking and living of the
world.

aircraft were driven back from Eng
land again today after air raid
alarms had sounded in London
by error-and in towns along the
east coast. Observers believed at
least one German plane may have
been forced down at sea by Royal
air force fighters.
Enemy aircraft were observed off

morning" the air ministry an
nounced.

made off in an easterly direction

The ministry announced that an

area, in the south. was due to an
unidentified aircraft flying off the
Essex coast in a southerly direction.
British fighters went up to inves-

tigate.
The air alarms extended from the
southern tip of England to the
Firth of Forth. where German air
craft have frequently made recon-
Nuisance or bombing flights. From
one KentiSh town Raj. fighters
were seen pursuing a twin-engined
craft believed to be German. Alarms
also were sounded in Essex, just
north OF Kent
The Nazi naval war continued at
a fast pace, three more British
ships being sunk by U-boats One
was the 7976-ton steamer Malabar
which went down in the Atlantic
with a loss of five out of rs men OF
her crew. Another was the trawler
Saint Nidan, out of Hull, and a
third was the traWler Lynx Both
trawler crews were saved.
The sinkings raised the total of
British losses in the last seven
days to more than 10000 tons.
The air raid alarm was not
sounded in all parts of London, but
the siren on the ministry of infor-
nation building went into action
for the fourth time since the war
started. The ministry employees filed
to an underground shelter without
excitement, and neWspapermen were
forced TO evacuate their quarters
in the building and take shelter
The buildings siren had sounded
three times in the first week OF
the war and today was the first
time since.
The alarm lasted only about five
minutes in London and it was un-
derstood that it had been given by
mistake. 1t caused a brief furry
in the heavy morning traffic but
little excitement.
At the shelter under the building.
ministry executives, clerks and
oyeralled workmen rubbed shoul-
ders. All were cheerful. Girl secre-
taries served coffee and hot choco-
late from thermos bottles.
Executives quickly put their brief
cases containing important docu-
ments into specially provided steel
lockers before retiring to the shell
ters. The crowd barely had settled
down to the shelter when the all
clear signal came and everybody
filed back to work.
