Secretary Praises Work
Of Former Envoy in
Accepting His Letter

Joseph E. Davies. who has served
as Ambassador to Russia and Bel
GUM, has resigned as special assist
ant to the Secretary of State and
will serve as chairman of the Ar.
rangements Committee for President
Roosevelts third Inauguration jan
uary 20.
This was disclosed at Mr.. Roose-
vents press conference yesterday
afternoon The President said it
was not necessary for Mr.. Davies to
resign to accept the inaugural post,
but Mr.. Davies wanted to retire from
the Government service.
It was announced at the State
Department that Secretary Hull had
reluctantly accepted Mr.. Davies
resignation.
In his letter of resignation, Mr..
Davies said: 1T is with regret that
I contemplate retiring from serv-
ice under your distinguished lead
ership. but my inability during
the four years in which I have
served under you to devote my at
tention to my personal affairs now
makes 1t necessary for me to ask to
be relieved of further public service
at this time. Should, however, the
present emergency become more
acute at any time, I want you to
know that I shall be standing by
available to your call"
In reply, Secretary Hull wrote that
Mr.. Davies contributions to the
foreign service had been "charac-
terized by the highest order Of
ability"
President Roosevelt declined at
his press conference to discuss a
possible successor to Joseph P. Ken
nedy. Ambassador to England. who
is home on leave and is not ex-
pected to return to London.
The President was asked whether
Marshall Field, Chicago business
man, was slated for the post and
whether Ray Atherson would sue
ceed William c. Bullitt, who has
resigned as Ambassador to France.
He said both reports were new ones.
Mr.. Field has had a prominent part
in bringing child refugees from Eng
land to the United States. Mr..
Roosevelt would not comment on
whether he intended to accept the
resignation of Ambassador Bullitt.

any such devastation as was visited
upon Coventry.
All areas in a west Midlands town
were severely attacked, but the main
damage was done to residential and
business property. A large group Of
buildings and another of shops were
reported in ruins, with huge fires
brought under control.
Daylight raider activity following
the night attacks was on a small
scale. One Dornier dropped about
20 bombs over shopping and resi-
dental area on the southeast coast
this afternoon, however. There were
a few casualties and considerable
damage.
London Damage Slight.
A government communique said
that while the Midlands bore the
brunt of the night onslaught Lon
den escaped with slight damage
and declared that although many
had been killed preliminary re.
ports indicated "the number of
casualties is comparatively small,
having regard to the scale of the
attack"
The attack on the Midlands,
which was on very heavy scale,
began soon after darkness and con-
tinued for about nine hours" the
communiique said. Many incen-
diary and high-explosive bombs
were dropped, and extensive dam
age was done in lseveral areas"
Liverpool Port Raided.
Besides the tremendous blows at
communities of the great industrial
belt across Middle England, the
big port of Liverpool was raided
three times after dusk; bombs were
dropped on another city in North
western England, and raids were
reported on sections of the SOUTH
east, northeast, Scotland and Wales.
Other than in the Midlands, the
communique said, damage and cas-
ualtieS were expected to be small.
The industrial towns were hit soon
after nightfall by the first waves of
the Nazi assault which swept across
England from the east, 80 to 100
planes at time. through a cold
southwest wind which increased by
dawn to almost half-gale force.
Some of the attacking planes
veered from a straight course for a
crack at London on the way to the
industrial Midlands, but most of
them streaked straight to their goal.
They dived to the attack, one
after. another, hour after hour,
through the most thunderous anti
aircraft barrage yet fired over most
of tho Midlands towns.

That was fate working. She had

glancing, as was his habit, down

Gliding to walk to the fiat, he

SIG, Confess therefore your sis one
to another, and pray one for another
that we may be healed.")
I .,s @ 3 T!.5- s;. .,s u
Each one Of us knows" What
weight is on the soul when we have
committed 4 sin-small or large. We
know, too, the blessed relief of con-
fession and the JOY of being forgiven,
This lesson is the story of David's
sin-a great and grievous sin, indeed,
which, being at last confessed, sim
cerely repented, and partly atoned,
brought him measure of relief.
DaVid'S sin was SO great that one
can hardly condone it. We can only
say that in his day, kings were very
powerful, and their ideas of right and
wrong were not those we hold today
David was on Oriental king, and as
such his people could not punish him
as he would be punished now for
such a crime, but he was punished,
nevertheless, and suffered bitterly
because of what he had done.
Briefly told, David, walking one
night on the flat roof o. his palace,
saw very beautiful woman and fell
in love with her. He Immediately
wanted her, but she was married.
Her husband was Uriah, faithful
soldier in his army under Joab. So
David sent word to JOab that he
should put Uriah into the very thick
est of the battle, where he would
surely be killed. This Joab did, and
after Uriah's death, David married
his widow and they had son.
Nathan Tells a Parable.
We do not know how many people
besides Joab knew of this crime, and
how much David suffered in his con-
science because Of it, but the prophet
Nathan knew it, for the Bible says
"the Lord sent Nathan unto David"
Coming to David he told him a par
able There were two men, he said,
one rich and the other poor. The rich
man had many flocks and herds, but
the poor man had only one little eve
lamb which he brought up with his
own children, and of which he was
very fond. A traveller came to the
rich man and instead of taking one
of his numerous flock to set be-
fore the Wanderer, he took the one
lamb belonging to the poor man, kill
ed, dressed it and made a feast for
the traveller.
David was very angry at the rich
