Uncle Sam Toymaker
Harriet V. Heald, Staff Writer, CVVaterbury Democrats Washington Service Bureau

Christmas, 194O, finds the United States displacing her warning com petitors, Germany and Japan, as the supplier of toys for the stock ings of the small citizens of Latin American and Canada. American salesman are bringing to these coun- tries toys that create for the child a play world patterned after Ameri- can life.
 The United States is now by far the largest toy manufacturer in the world. The inventiveness of Ameri- cans is directed to the production of ingenious and fascinating play things. It was the quality" Ameri- can top that formerly sold best in export markets, because the cheaper products could not compete with the lower prices quoted by Germany and Japan. Tn recent years, how ever, there has been an increasing foreign demand for all kinds of United States toys, as Germany and Japan have been unable to make satisfactory deliveries.
 In 1899, the export toy trade of the United States continued an up- ward trend that had started in
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-23

1888. American toys went to 97 countries of the world. Canada, the United Kingdom, the Union of South Africa, Cuba, Mexico, and Australia were the best customers. English purchases were cut of in the latter part of 1899, however, when the United Kingdom was forced by the war to place a temporary re- striction on toy imports.
 In 1940, 8 significant change has taken place. The number of coun- tries to which toys have been ship- ped has been considerably reduced by the war and the bulk of the shipments from the United States has gone to Canada and Latin America. These two markets took 87 per cent of all the United States toy exports to foreign countries in October, 1940, the month of largest shipments. In Latin Aperica, where German manufacturers formerly were the principal source for toys, the United States sold 84 per cent more toys in October, 1940, than in the same month of 1889. All kinds of toys, except mechanical types and rubber balloons, shared in the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-23

upward trend. Sales of children's wheel goods were up over 50 per cent; dolls and parts gained 47 per cent; metal toys, A per cent; and the exports of rubber toys and balls were 29 per cent larger.
 For the first ten months of 1940 total exports of AKnerican-made toys are but slightly below the same period for 1899, indicating the ex- tent to which Latin American trade has supplanted that of countries now cut of by war. American toy manufacturers have found the time propitious to make i11roads into the Western Hemisphere markets that formerly were among Germany's best toy customers.

vision of spiritual good is cherished in individual consciousness, it serves as a beacon light to brighten our pathway n our ascent above mortal, material sense testimony. As 'every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation" Revelation 5:0 learns to turn to God, Spirit, as all-power, universal peace will be demonstrated in human experience. May our pray CT be that peace be not only talked, but so lived that the passerby will feel its holy influence. Mrs. Eddy says in 'sThe First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 279), 'The First Commandment in the He- brew Decalogue-'Thou shalt have no other gods before me'-obeyed, is sufficient to still all strife. God is the divine Mind. Hence the sequence: Had all peoples one Mind, peace would reign" When the world has learned to obey the one Mind, God, then we shall be able to sing with the angels, "On earth peace, good will toward men," in perfect confi- dence that permanent peace has ben established.-The Christian Sci- ence Monitor.

Song Of The Angels
 Sweetest Ever Heard
Prophecy of Peace Made at Birth of Jesus at Bethe-
 hem Some Day to Be Fulfilled Universally

we read in the second chapter of Genesis, presents the falsity that men is mortal and material, created out of dust and governed by various so-called powers, clamiing to be both good and evil. From this false premise arise the claims of misun- derstanding. rivalry, greed. strife, sickness, chaos and war. This false premise implies also that man can be the football of chance and change, which is of course lie.
 God, the divine Principle of man, prepetuates man as His reflection. It is not true that the child of God is both good and evil, peaceful and discordant, loving and hateful. These are but false beliefs fo mortals which are dispelled when we realize that man is what the Scriptures declare him to be, the image of his creator. Our freedom comes, then, as we rec ognize and acknowledge our true relationship to the Father, gratefully perceiving that now are we the sons of God" q John 3:2)-now, not sometime in a vague future, in far- away place, but here and now. As children of God we dwell always in unity and peace.
 Peace Quality of Mind
 All will agree that peace is a quality of divine Mind. Then 1t log ically follows that peace is inherent in man, the representative of God. Peace cannot be lessened or de- stroyed, for it is now and forever established. And Love is awakening human consciousness to this great spiritual fact.
 In the proportion that they under stand the truth about God and man, men learn to trust in God more full ly, and fear, suspicion, self1shneSs, and hatred correspondingly de- crease. This Christlike understand ing is expressed in the love which knows no destructive criticism, no greed, no resentment; in the joy which knows no gloom; in the grati- tude which knows no fear. As the

One of the sweetest songs ever heard on earth is surely that one sung by the heavenly host of angels duke 2:15), "On earth peace, good will toward men," The occasion of the song was the birth at Bethlehem of the babe Jesus.
 The prophecy of peace made on that brilliant starlit night will some day be fulfilled universally, since a desire for peace has ever been cher ished in the hearts of men. We may ask why it is, then, that this desire is not being more speedily realized. The reason undoubtedly is that men have looked for peace where no peace is to be found. No merely ma terial system, supported by physical force, can offer lasting peace.
 Eliminating Evils
 Today, many earnest e1ldeavors are being made to reconcile men and nations, and to bring to all a fairer share of the earth's goods, thus eliminating, in some degree, the evils that tend to foment the worst passions in men, which often reach their climax in war. But material methods, even those motivated by slnselfish desires, cannot bring about permanent peace, for this peace IS found only is the realm of Spirit.
 To reach a scientific, right con- elusion we must of necessity start with e correct premise. In Science and Health with Key to the Scrip sures," Mary Baker Eddy writes (p, a92): "For right reasoning there should be but one fact before the thought, namely, spiritual existence. in reality there is no other existence since Life cannot be united to its un- likeness, mortality" We learn from the Scriptures that God created all, 'and, behold it was very good" (Gen- esis l:31). The universe and the in- hahltants thereof, then, are perfect, like their creator, and Gods law of peace and harmony reigns supreme. This is spiritual fact.
