ED TOMORROW

Tomorrow Sunday. October 26l
is Missionary Sunday throughout
the entire Methodist Denomina-
ton 90 100000 members This
day has been set apart by our
leaders as the day on which
each member IS to express MS
interest and loyalty 10 the Mis-
siOnary Program Of the Church,
his loyalty to the advancement
of the Kingdom of Righteousness
upon earth, by making a finan-
cial contribution TO World Serv-
ice
We live in days OF war hys-
terra and confusion Many peo-
pie are harried by fear and pOpu-
lar passions are beginning to run
rather high 1t is possible for
us to lose sight of the supreme
responsibility CT the church, its
missionary program Now, as
never before, the mission mes
sage is needed around the world
This is no time TO close up our
New Testaments and silence our
messages of peace and goodwill
No one can exaggerate the diff
ficulties that we face today as we
attempt to preach the gospel Of
Christ. Hatred. SelfishneSS. and
prejudice, has poisoned the lives
of whole nations; but, if We be
Iieve Christ, we believe that love
is the greatest force in the world,
and even while love is being nail
ed to the cross II IS triumphing
This message must be preached
in the teeth of those who advo-
cate hate. fury. retaliation. re-
venge, and ''annihilatiOn"
Christian fellowship must be
maintained throughout the world
The strong hands Of the Ameri-
can Church must reach across 10
China, India, Africa, and to the
uttermost parts Of the earth, to
keep alive the fire Of faith and
hope The faith of men in high
moral principles must be pre-
served The world must not be
allowed TO lose its confidence IN
the survival power Of goodness.
MethOdiSm must have and do its
part
In thousands Of mission sta
tons in faT-away places the fires
are lighted Little groups OF
Christians in the midst Of jun
giles, in small chapeIs on crowd
ed streets, are healing the sick,
training the ignorant; steadily
persuasively. and with out viO-
lence. they are spreading those
fundamental principles OF hu-
mainly. kindness. integrity and
courage upon which civilization
rest They are keeping hope
alive MethOdism must keep
them alive.
The calls that are being made
upon the American Churches are
numerous and insistent- The calls
that come TO you as individual
Methodists in KEY West are
growing as the days 60 by. But
OF all the claims that are made
upon the Christians dollar none
IS more sacred nor more urgent
than the call Of missions.

Steel and Arms Mills
To Pay 5eant Heed
To Christmas Holiday
Men Give Up Stuy
With Families to Keep
Plants Booming
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Many giant steel mills and arms
factories on the American industrial
front will pay scant heed this year
to the traditional Christmas holi-
day
A survey showed the largest Cow
ernment ordnance plants, producing
gun powder. INT, bombs and shells,
would dispense with the Yuletide
day of rest. Many private factories
turning out tanks. aircraft ana
naval steel will follow suit.
The number of holiday workers
could not be estimated Immediately
but it appeared that close to 500 600
would labor in the steel mills of
Pittsburgh, Youngstown and South
Chicago
The spirit of the men who were
passing up the day with their
families seemed to be typified by a
sign on the bulletin board at Car
negie- Illinois plants, which read:
1T is no longer question Of how
much steel we can produce, but how
quickly"
At independence, Mo, the Gov
ernment said its small arms plant
would operate Christmas on a vol
untary basis and virtually all en-
ployes have volunteered"
The Navy Department in Wash
ington said Government shipyards
generally would take a. holiday, but
work will go on as usual on ur-
gently needed equipment"
The Chicago ordnance distric'
headquarters, which oversees SOM
of the Army's largest tank con-
tracts. said every Midwest plan
producing armament items on which
! there Is a bottleneck will continue

and New Year.
Many aircraft factories planned
no letdoWn. At Baltimore full pro-
duction was scheduled in the Glenn
Martin aviation plant employing
$4,000. Curtis-Wright said it,
plants would likewise work straight
through, as will Goodyear Aircraft
in Ohio.
