BATTLE OF WORDS

Var flames rage in many
European countries and their
heat cause emotional blood
pressures of americans and
others, to rise ,Uhen they try to
discuss fault, effect and so on.
Miss Norris cautions women in
particular, to talk less and lis
ten more. To remember that no
amount Of argument can change
the others UieiU, no more than
their 0Wn. She sCarns that d.
uided opinions between families
and friends, tUhen expressed too
often and toith too much certain
ty causes trouble that could cas-
lily be avoided Nth a little re-
straint, to the great benefit Of all.
Var touches all homes and all
peoples, and she advises prayer
and work as the antidote Nth
great measure OF silence, when a
discussion grotos too tUarm. She
unites all the peoples Of the
tOOrld under a common banner
When she sUrites, "AU ,Oant peace
and security, security from hun
ger, enforced idLeness, social in
justices and security from sOar,
that is peace.

pie, want only these two good things.
Peace and security. Security from
hunger, enforced idleness, social in
justice, and the security from war
that is peace.
Work Instead of Talk.
There is great hope, there is a
glimpse of Gods eventual triumph
in the fact that we are all genuinely
and fundamentally in harmony on
these points. And since that is so,
will you not join that small but in
creasing group of women who
DON'T TALK?
They work. They help with food
and clothes and knitting and money.
And they pray, which is the realest
help of all. But they've stopped
talking. They've lifted themselves
into a zone of higher vision, trying to
see the world of tomorrow, and find
ing it a better world. A world in
which, whoever wins-and no nation
ever really wins a war!-there will
be fairer life for everyone; UNI
employment done away with for
ever, slums cleaned and changed,
and the earth and the air and the
seas dedicated only to the services
of peace.
We will live to see that world.
Dictators dead; nations gradually
regaining their old boundaries and
their old entities; and victors and
victims alike awakened to realize
that no good ever came of wars,
that there are fair and honest ways
of settling international differences
without war.
Wisdom in Being Silent.
We can actually hurry that day by
Withdrawing from violent and ex-
cited speech now. And as any talk
of public affairs is apt to grow vio-
lent and excited, the real wisdom
lies in retreating into a dignifed,
friendly silence. Listening, nodding
perhaps, permitting oneself some
what dubious expression perhaps,
but not entering into the word bat
ties which are only an echo of the
real battles overseas.
Try this plan anyway. Be the girl
in the Office, or the woman at the
club meeting, who listens. Even if
you know all the answers, refrain
from giving them. While you are
listening, lift your heart to God. If
you can't think of any longer pray
er, repeat in your soul the words Of
the one prayer given us by the
Prince of Peace himself. ''Thy king
dom come, Thy viii be DONE For
peacemakers are called the children
of God. ssa s4ansz sas4a ~

w THY not be one of the few,
M few women who are not
W talking too much these
days, and see how refreshing it
is to your soul just to be ST.
LENT?
We're all talking, arguing,
quarrelling too much just now;
reading too many newspaper
and magazine articles, quoting
too many things half-correctly,
listening much too often and too
long to the often valueless and
incorrect reports and opinions
which pour from our radios.
Some of us think that if Britain
loses this war the world will be
lost. Both sides have always
thought that in every war.
Some of us think that our best
way to help ourselves and eventu-
ally Britain is to maintain Ameri-
cas- traditional independence of Eu-
ropean politics.
Some of us believe that America
is strong enough to say she WILL
help the little starving democracies
with food, rather than meekly ask
ing if she may. Others feel that
temporary wrong must be done to
the innocent to hasten the day of
victory and peace for all.
Even Families Are Divided.
Some of us believe that practical
ly every person we know is Com
munist, Bundist, Nazi-ist, pacifist,
isolationist, interventionist, spy,
anti-Semite, appeaser, war-monger
or plain idiot. Families which have
been long united are divided now;
voices which have always been gen.
tie and good-natured are raised in
angry dispute.
This is the first-fruit of war, that
it shall penetrate even into the quiz
etest homes and bring the misery of
it's great hates and fears with it.
When a great war bursts it scatters
its fragments everywhere, and there
is no escaping them.
But if the members of your family
and your close friends and the as
sociates you see every day are hon.
est; if each one of them truly be-
lieves what he says, then try your
best to understand-or at least to
forgive without understanding the
difference of opinion which seems
to you so stupid and so perverse.
Workers Always Needed.
''Bill can do anything with his
hands," young wife said to me
the other day, "and I'm an expert
enced cook. You don't know how
safe it makes us feel! No matter
what happens, or how far down
America goes for awhile, they'll al
ways need carpenters and plumbers
and cooks. We lived once on SIS
a week, and we could do it again,
and raise the babies, too. Oh, I
don't mean that it would be all
easy!" said this little philosopher
courageously, ''but there'd be lots
of fun and excitement along the
way, and in country as big and
as rich as ours we know eventually
we're all going to emerge into
Golden Age"
with courage and youth and ca
pability like yours" thought, you
haven't anything to fearl"
America has nothing to fear.
She'll solve her own problems, and
presently be called upon to help
solve the problems of the world.
For we all want two things today:
peace and security for all the peo-
Piles of the world. This is an axio-
matte truth; there should be no need
to state it. And yet we lose sight of
it when we begin talking. The peo-
