Labor Monopoly Drive

Inc conspicuous absence OF strikes
in the news since the German Russian
war began can hardly escape notice.
For weeks strikes had been the big
daily feature of the first pages; up
permost in the minds of everyone
concerned with the progress of the
defense program.
###
Abruptly the situation changed and
for two weeks there has been very
little in the papers about labor stop
pages. As a result there is tendency
to regard their threat, which seemed
very great, as having vanished But
that isn't so, and it will be a great
mistake to assume it. The truth is
that our labor troubles are not over;
strikes have not disappeared. And all
our labor leaders have not become
patriotic over night. Not by any man.
ner of means.
###
Actually there are still plenty of
strikes, but, for one reason and an
other, they are not at the moment as
newsworthy as before. There is, for
example, a big building-t trades strike
in progress in New York, in which
the transfers have joined. Also, there
: Ire numerous small strikes in differ
hU sections. And there will be more.
That is agreed even by those most
Puoyant about the present improved
Atate of affairs.
###
In this connection, various interest
ing ideas have been advanced. One is
that the new war has altered the
Communist party line and that, Hitler
now being the common enemy of Rus
Isia and the United States, it is no
longer Communist policy to foment
strikes and impede defense. This has
a plausible sound and there is some
truth In it. Certainly it is true so far
as concerns some of the Communists,
dominant in CLIO unions, who initiated
strikes such as that in the North

Message to the Prosecuted Chris.
tians, Revelation PILL, for Sun
day, September 7:
There are four generally accepted
interpretations of Revelation. The
futurist Interpreter believes it all
concerns events which will ;mmedi
ately precede the second advent and
the end of the world. The histori-
ial interpreter finds in the book a
revelation of events dotted over all
the time of history. The spiritual
interpreter sees in every figure a
symbol, a representation of some
good or evil principle common to
every age and to be understood
spiritually. The preterist school of
thought finds in much of this book
a reflection of the situation which
was either past or present at the
time of its writing, having to do
with the struggle of the early
and the Roman power.
V. l. Unto the angel of the
church at Ephesus write: These
things saith he that holdeth the sew
en- stars in his right hand who
walketh in the midst of the seven
golden candlesticks. Most exposi-
tors think the angel of the church
is conceived as in some sense the
heavenly counterpart of the church,
which may be practically identified
with the church. The churches are
represented by candlesticks because
they shed the light of truth.
v. 2. Il know thy works and thy
labor, and thy patience and how
thou canst bear them which are
evil; and thou hast tried them
which say they are apostles, and
are not, and hast found them
liars The praiseworthy facts of
the early Ephesian church "a type
of every ideal church, was witness
ing, spreading the faith, establish
ing new churches, being patient in
that they endured misunderstand-
ing, and when reviled reviled not
again. They had an acute sense OF
right and wrong as seen in their
testing raise dpOSIleS Last VI dll
(verse 81 this church did not faint
even though trials and prosecutions
were almost unbearable.
v. 4. Nevertheless l have some
what against thee because thou hast
left thy first love- They had lost
their early spiritual ardor.
v. 5. Remember therefore from
whence thou are fallen, and repent,
and do the first works: or else |
will come unto thee quickly, and /
will remove thy candlestick out of
his place, except thou repent In
spite of their first good record this
church lost it's spirituality and was
no longer worthy the appreciation OF
God. No one can live on his past

TAXES IN CANADA

The average American knows it is
necessary to pay more taxes if we
are to provide for western hemis-
phere defense. A married Canadian
with no dependents pays an income
tax of SIS out Of an income of ST.
500. The rates then go up sharply.
Canada is spending on the war 40%o
of her national income. Out of an
income Of $4,000 a married Canad-
ian with no dependents pays $1,000.
From an income of $4,000 a tax
of $3,0S0 is assessed. Therefore,
don't let any one tell you that un-
der the Lend-Lease law Uncle Sam
is doing more for Great Britain than
Canada. Furthermore, Canada has
nearly 100000 men under arms. In
proportion to her population that
would mean in this country at least
4,700,000 men under arms Of
course, Canada is in the war and we
hope to stay out Of it.-Stephen A.

Under date of August 20, Wayne

Dugan, high school teacher, writes
the editor of this paper, as follows:

it. We have two more coming up.
You probably have heard that the
morale of the army is none too
good. That is true to some extent.
Men over % have lost interest since
they have good possibilities of being

good record and good Christian ex-
perience; they must be up-to-date
V. 6. "But this thou hast, that
thou hatest the Nicolaitanes, which
also hate" 1t is evident from
verses IA, Is that the Nicolaitanes
were an antinomian sect and were
guilty of immoral practices.
V. Z. "He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith to
the churches; to him that over
cometh will give to eat of the tree
of life, which is in the midst Of the
paradise of God" John now ad-
dressed individuals. You have an
ear only when you have spiritual
hearing. We need to see and hear
through the eyes and ears of Christ.
1t is not the fact of persecution so
much as the fact of overcoming
that counts, for to such there is
promised Immortality.
V. 8. "And unto the angel of
the church in Smyrna write these
things saith the first and the last,
which was dead and is alive" Holy
martyrdom was a gate to a glorious
resurrection.
V. 8. Il know thy works and
tribulation and poverty, (but thou
art rich and l know the blasphemy
of them which say they are Jews,
and are not, but are the synagogue
of Satan" The poverty and death
of the church of Smyrna came as a
result of persecution but their
riches came as a result of the work
of the Holy Spirit
V. 10. "Fear none of those things
which thou shalt suffer; behold the
devil shall cast some of you into
prison, that ye may be tried; and
ye shall have tribulation ten days;
be thou faithful unto death and
thou shalt receive a crown of life"
Here the warning is not against in
fidelity but against fear; nothing is
so hard as to torture ones soul
with fear; the way to meet fear is
to be full of faith saying to ones
self all the time, "It is coming out
all right"
