He said these dangers are rap
idly increasing impoverishment,
with hunger and starvation in some
countries, oppression and persecu-
ton in others and the temptation
Ito enter into a compromise be-
tween the spirit of the gospel and
the spirit of this world"
The faith and life of the fol-
lowers Of Christ in Europe are char
acterized by utmost uncertainty
about life and fate, and utmost GER
tainty that we are in Gods hands
and that He alone is the builder of
a better world" DR.. Keller told a
large gathering.
Switzerland. he said. is placed
! like a Watch-tower in the midst
of belligerent European countries. -
Although she is not in the war,
Switzerland is frightened. a men
! aced, an isolated country. and like
the rest of Europe. she is facing a
coal and food shortage this winter,
he said
How can a Christian live under
these conditions?" he asked. We
have to give up the old comfortable
life. The prayer for daily bread
becomes very serious. Former
security and self assurance has had
to go. Gods love becomes mystery
to people whose families are torn
asunder. who are starving and ask
ing, rs This Gods will?'"
And yet, DR.. Keller added. there
is no flight from God, but a move
ment toward Him In this uncer-
tainty about life and death, the
last and only trust is that which
is put in God alone"

Nine Well-behaved youngsters
played in sandpile at Calvary
Baptist Church yesterday while
their mothers attended seminars of
the National Christian Mission.
The idea to operate a nursery
where mothers could leave their
children was proposed by the min
lister of a Southeast church who
said a member of his congregation
would like TO attend the mission
sessions but didn't want to leave her
child alone.
The nursery idea caught on so
we'll that now the other churches
where mission forums are sChed-
uled are considering arranging play
space and supervision for young
sters. At Calvary Baptist Church
the nursery will be open each after
noon and all day Friday of this

EVACUATED CITY FOLK LEARN WAYS .OF RUSTIC HOSTS
BY ROsETTE HARGROVE

NEA Service Stan Correspondent London, July % - When King George suggested that the Dean of Westminster and Mrs. de Labrilliere move into Buckingham Palace when they were bombed out of their his- toric home, he was only doing what countless hundreds of his loyal sub- jects have been doing ever since the Germans started their blitzkrieg.
 British hospitality is no longer matter of formal invitations which require getting out the best linen and silver. Friends and even strangers are put up for night, a week, even longer, on the spur of the moment. Housewives don't and carl- not go into tailspin because some body has dropped in unexpectedly for dinner or a bed They are learning to take things as they come and often wonder how they managed to complicate life so before the blitz.
 This new hospitality is evident on grand, collective scale. Evac- uation from urban areas is becorn- in gbetter organized with country towns and villages in "safe areas" rapidly changing with the influx of city folk.
 The mixing of country ''hosts" and city guests" has benefited both, and social amenities between the two are being encourage by the gov- ernment in the development of wartime social centers.
 POORER FAMILIES
 WERE SUFFERERS
 Evacuation for the less fortunate classes has been the one sore point, with mothers separated from their children or families billeted on grudging householders. The lack of companionship, too, made matters worse. Literally hundreds of mo- thers returned to London and other

THE LIFE or THE PARITY

Elsie has gone serious,
 She says-no more clowning,( She's gone literary on the crowd,
 Says she AZORES Browning. Last summer Elsie
 Wasn't queer and slow, She was known as a cute trick,
 Now she raves about Poe. When most of the crowd are busy
 With the usual summer fun, Elsie's buried in pnilosophic stuff,
 Or the history of the ancient Hun. She says life is too serious, .. Too full of complications, There are SO many questions to solve
 She has no time for recreations. While we talk of Bette Davis and Gable, She's deep in Ibsen Shaw, Honest and true that Elsie
 Is the queerest you ever saw. Yes, Elsie has gone heavy on us,
 She has lost her laugh so hearty, Everybody says, what's hit Elsie?
 She used to be the life of the party.
