British Urged
To Be Ready
For Invasion
Churchill Calls Or Nation
To Respond To Threat Of
German Offensive
VISITS KING GEORGE
British Leader Urges
France To Fight, To Sign
No Separate Peace

LONDON, June 18-R-Winston
Churchill called confidently tonight
upon the stout heart of Britain to
respond to the menace of invasion.
He told his people: Hitler knows
he will have to break us in this is
land or lose the war"
Before the house of commons, in
the hour of French military collapse,
the prime minister "cast up a dread
balance sheet"
Tonight, after visiting King George
VI, Churchill repeated the main
points of his speech in a broadcast
which was relayed to the United
States.
Beginning OF Battle
With supreme uren he pro-
claimed the beginning OF the battle
of England"
He counted off Britain's men I'M
der arms: More than 1,250,000 reg
ulars, 10000 local defense volun-
teers; Canadian armies on England's
soil.
He said the navy could drown an
invading force in the channel or blow
it to pieces as it tried to land.
He exulted in the remaining, if
outnumbered strength of the Brit
ish air force; disclosed the painful
decision" to withhold Britain's full
metropolitan fighting plane strength
from France and added:
I'VE are now assured of immense
continued and increased support in
munitions of all kinds from the Unit
ed States and especially of airplanes
and pilots from across the ocean,
Two Predictions
Churchill made two predictions.
eff we can stand up to him (Hit-
ler)," he said, "all Europe may be
freed and the life of the world may
move forward into broad, sunlit up
but if we fail, the whole world,
including the United States. . /.
will sink into the abyss of a new
dark age made more sinister and
perhaps more prolonged by the lights
of a perverted science"
Even while he admitted "the bat
tie of France" was lost, Churchill
urged the French to fight on, to
sign no separate peace.

age and valor, Premier Marshal
Henri Philippe Petain calmly told
the men in the field to carry on
against the Nazi invader.
Order Includes Fleet
The order went out by radio.
It included all the men of the
French air service and all the mer
of the fleet, which is under virtual
command of the British.
And while the weary poilus, in
weakened infantry regiments, ar.
tillery and tank sections, strove tc
keep the emmy back, the French
cabinet waited for word of the
fateful conference of Adolf Hitler
and Benito Mussolini at Munich
the conference which will probably
decide the fate of France and her
colonial empire.
The order to continue resistance
against Grmany went out in tn
name of Generalissimo M a m e
Weygand as we'll asPetain's.
"It is the duty of all to continue
resistance" they said.
White Flag Strategy
There had come to Bordeaux
various reports that the German
troops, making contact with the
fading French armies, had ad-
vanced carrying white flags - a
form of strategy designed to make
the French think an armistice al
ready was in effect.

ants on land, sea and in the air
are notified that no armistice and
no suspension of fighting have oc-

and they have not yet COM

Gethsemane: Triumph Through
Suffering, Matthew 26:36-46, for
Sunday, March 10:
In earthly terms he that sur
renders is defeated but not so in the
terms Of Christ, whose triumph was
complete because of complete sur
render to the will of God
". &c. ''Then cometh Jesus with
them to a place called Gethsemane,
and saith unto the disciples. Sit we
here while l go and pray" Luke
says that Christ requested them to
pray while sitting here; for himself,
he preferred secret prayer in his
greatest anguish.
V. 81. "And he took with him
Peter and the two sons of Zebedee,
and began to be sorrowful and very
heavy" Those dearest to him could
be a support in his sorrow. The
mental and spiritual distress of Je-
sus was beyond human expression.
He that loves most suffers most.
v. 38. '"Then saith he unto them,
My soul is exceeding sorrowful even
unto death: tarry ye here and watch
with me- A repetition of the fact
overwhelming grief entirely beyond
human comprehension. Jesus would
have his disciples unite with him in
seeking divine support and to pre-
pare themselves for approaching
danger.

ther and fell on his face. and pray

"IEAP YEAR" BIRTHDAYS

Last Thursdays GAINESVILLE Sig
nal, Feb. goth, featured the birth
days of ten persons who were born
on Feb 20. Among them was a Mrs
Adaline Bartlett. From the Sigma
we publish the following:
Mrs. Adaline Edgerton Bartlett
was born near Chesterhill in Nor.
gan county on Feb. 20, 1860. This
year she is observing her 10th
birthday, with a family dinner al
her home. Mrs. Bartlett's daugh-
ter, Mrs. c. B. Campbell. and fam
lily, live with her at the family
home on the Adamsville road, eight
miles from GAINESVILLE. Mrs. Bart
lett recalls the activities of the men
and boys in the neighborhood when
they thought Morgan was coming
during the Civil war. She and her
husband moved to Muskingum coun
ty in 1910.
Last year Mrs. Bartlett spent
some time with her eldest daugh-
ter, Mrs. w. E. Bull, of Westmore-
land, Kansas. She travelled there
alone. The other two daughters
are Mrs. Ida Foreman, of the Chest
nut hill fruit farm, Newark, and

thou wilt" Here is a prayer from
one having infinite love and infinite
purity SO that we are incapable of
understanding this prayer. That
cup was something more than HUI
man suffering for it it was his atom
ing love- This is prayer that
ought to melt every heart since we
We're included in that cup. ''Not as
l will, but as thou wilt we may
better understand in practical ex-
perience many times.
V. 40. "And he cometh to his
disciples and findeth them asleep,
and saith unto Peter, What, could
We not watch with me one hour?"
Peter and the other two disciples
were overcome by the weakness OF
their human nature; weary, worn
and full of grief Evidently Jesus
was disappointed. How many of us
have disappointed him too!
V. Al. watch and pray, that We
enter not into temptation; the spirit
indeed is willing but the flesh is
weak" Jesus knew that the great
temptation of the hour was to deny
him under the influence Of fear and
despair. Our Lord gives them and
us the secret of victory over tempta-
tion of every kind-watchfulnes
and prayer Watchfulness against
the craft and subtlety of Satan, and
man, and prayer for divine help to
overcome.
V. AZ. Gle went away again the
second time, and prayed, saying, o
my Father, if this cup may not pass
away from me except I drink it, thy
will be done" The great purpose
of Christ's prayer was that he
might do Gods will. His approach
ing suffering though untold and in
expressible was secondary to the
doing of the will of God. The place
of emphasis in the lives of his fol-
lowers is to let all sufferings be sec
ondary to the will of God.
V. 43. ''And he came and found
them asleep again; for their eyes
We're heavy" Note the love of
Christ Had he been only human,
he would have administered words
of criticism.
v. A. "And he left them and
went away again, and prayed the
third time, saying the same words"
Jesus trod the pathway of prayer;
he loved to commune with his Faith
er; he knew the source of strength
and comfort; he knew how to live
triumphantly because he knew how
to pray triumphantly.
V. As. "Then cometh he to his
disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep
on now and take your rest: behold
the hour is at hand, and the Son of
man is betrayed into the hands Of
sinners" The victory has been won
and the urgent need of watching
with Christ was over They might
sleep now as far as he was concern
ed, if sleep could be secured. There
was no shrinking by Jesus from the
coming mob; he was ready to go
through the pains of death.
" 49, "Rise, let us be going:
behold he is at hand that doth be-
tray me-" The sting in Christ's
death was in the word betrayed"
Judas approached Jesus with a kiss
as if he were still one of his dis
ciples. Our living "as if'' puts
sting in the heart of God today.

EXTREMELY EARLY EASTER

In those churches observing it
and all but few do-Easter is
| referred to as a movable feast, in
that, unlike Christmas, for instance,
| it does not fall on the same profane
calendar date year after year The
date of this important event is fixed
as being on the first Sunday after
the first full moon after the 21st of
, March, which this year makes Eas-
ter come March "a, one of the ear
liest Easter dates in history.
According to the ecclesiastical
calendar the earliest Easter is
March %, and the latest is April 25.
In 1761 and 1918 Easter fell on
March %, but not once in this cen
tury will it be on the earliest pos
sible date. Not again until zoos
will it be as early as this year,
March "a.
Nor. on the other hand, will
there be the latest Easter in this
century except in 1913, with the
date as April 25. Pastors and oft
cials of ritualistic churches especial
ly have. for consultation, tables
