"entire city quarters as well as
factory areas were destroyed and
gutted;" that fires could be seen
on the French coast, ITS miles
away, and that dive bombing tao
tics were used on Birmingham for
the first time)
The attacks lasted from 7 O'Clock
yesterday evening until nearby 6
a. m. today. The planes came
from all directions, wave after
wave, at 10 minute intervals. The
city had been subjected to a fierce
pounding several nights ago.
The residential section suffered
fearful damage. Fire fighters and
civil defense workers toiled unceas-
ingly throughout the night, even
while the raid was at it's height
and bombs were raining down all
about them.
A heavy bomb struck the rear
OF an art gallery and hundred of
tons,. of masonry crashed into the
street, blocking it.
Masonry from the damaged post
office blocked other streets.
Many windows in municipal build

In the midst of the festivities of the
Christmas season, we might with pro-
fit turn our minds toward the meaning
of this worldwide celebration. We in
stinctively think of the angels song OF
Peace on earth, good will to men,,
when the birth of Jesus was announced.
But let us leap the span between the
birth of Jesus to his manhood.
When he had reached maturity, Jesus
was one day preaching in the syna-
gogue in the town Of Nazareth, where
he had been brought up. He was
handed the Book Of Isaiah, the great
Hebrew prophet: one of the LIST to reject
the doctrine that might makes right
and Jesus proceeded to read: THE
Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because
He hath anointed me to preach Che
gospel to the poor; He. hath sent me
to heal the brokenhearted; to preach
deliverance to the captives and recover
ing Of sight to the blind; to set al
liberty them that are bruised to preach
the acceptable year of the Lord"
The limits of space forbids giving
the details of all that this declaration
signifies, but it is clear that it implies
the redemption of the common people

History has proved that much progress
has been made in this direction, but
there are still those who are poor
broken-hearted, captives, blind anc
bruised. For these, too, this purpose
must be fulfilled-in every community
in every city, in every country.
At this Christmas season mankind
should reconsecrate itself to this higf
purpose. It is an Ideal which it ha:
long sought to have fulfilled. United
it may help usher in THE Day. q

this, too, is "the acceptable year g.

it is necessary to remove the barriers
that stand in its way, SO that this grea'
task may be speedily accomplished.
1t was Isaiah who declared many
years before that to this end lever!

TORS had developed that you did not

tbem and you could make your dis
5veries only through experience. And
many Of us learn through the mistakes
we have made. Experience is one of
Lies great teachers.
The world moves so fast that none
of us can keep ahead of it. There is
always so much to be learned, even by
the wisest of us.
This is what makes life a great adj

would be a very dull experience.
And SO, lets face the new year with

sible German sources warned the
of French ships and planes
in the service of England today that
they 'have no claim to treatment
as war prisoners"
The statement came in answer to
a British admiralty announcement
that French warships and planes
now in English possession will fly
the French national colors as we'll
as a blue flag with a red In
the centsr.
1.-THE blue flag with a red cross
is not a recognized state flag which
justifies war acts by vessels flying
it," these sources said. Therefore
warships and airplanes with the
French national colors and pretend
ing to fight for France are guilty
of a breach of the armistice treaty,
and put themselves outside apriica'
ton of the laws of war"
