 From the Bible: Thus saieth the Lord Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departcth from the Lord Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, an d whose hope the Lord is. (Jeremiah)
 From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy: When the illusion of sickness or sin tempts you, cling steadfastly to God and His idea. Allow nothing but His likeness to abide in your thoughts. Let Christi ian Science, instead of corporeal sense, support your understanding of being, and this understanding will supplant error with Truth, re- place mortality with immortality, and silence discord with harmony.

London, Oct. 26-(AP) - The
sDcctacle Of another battle OF Dram
with the British Mediterranean fleet
swooping down on Toulon to trap
French naval units there before they
could put to sea was enVisloned to-
day by informed quarters should
France agree 10 cooperate with the

Stratcgists also predicted that
units of the British navy would at
tempt to take over French island
bases in the Indian and Pacific
oceans. whi!o Martinique and other
French possessions in the western
hemisphere would be left to Pam

There was no doubt in British
minds that Hitlcr's principal pur-
Dose in his conferences with Marshal
Petaln, the aged leader Of defeated
France, was to get his hands on the
French fleet, which, even after the
battrring the British gave 1t July
at Oran, Algeria, is better than any
thing the axis powers have.
The government, of course, kept
official silence on Britain'S possible
course should the French alps pass
to Hitler, but experts cited d feed
ing which is general in informed
quarters that England's powerful
navy would Immediately try to botllc
