to teach his followers how they too

he reminded his disciples (John

TT is EASY to be joyous when one
has learned to have faith in good.
The spiritually-minded are not
easily cast down; nor is their glad
ness superficial or frivolous. True
gaiety springs from the infinite
source Of all that is lovely, happy,
and enduring. God Himself supplies
it.
In delightful passage of Scrip
ture in which the prophet Zechariah
foretells the return Of bis people
from captivity into their home land.
we find this verse (Zechariah 8:5 /:
And the streets of the city shall be

It's Up TO The
Women
by Ruth Taylorl

This is just for the women
but it is a call to arms |,
Our men are going out to
fight-whether they go in
to the armed forces or into
the factories busy turning
out the weapons Of defense,
we women have work to do,
too--in the factories, or
the farm, freeing men for
the task of fighting.
There is one other job,
however, which is particu-
lar our own and which we
can do no matter how tied
down We are-and no mat
ter how little money or
time we have.
The most serious effect
Of war is never on the gene
ration fighting it but on the
generation following. The
tention, excitement, disrun-
ton of regular living falls
hardest on them-for them
have not had the back
ground, the bitter know
ledge with which to proper
ly evaluate happenings.
Even when they do not
show any immediate effect,
fears, inhibitions and ha-
treds can be started which
may well scar young minds
permanently. We all know
how childhood memories
endure. Remember that
Hitler's first followers were
the warped children Of the
last war. And those who
faltered and hampered and
hindered in other lands
We're children when the
guns roared before.
It is up to the women to
guard the minds Of the
children-not by shutting
them away from truth
but by teaching and train.

them
It is all too true that usu
ally it takes the cataclysm
of war to stir ancient voice.
Our Government recent
" has been compelled to
make more concession, and
to yield, on many fronts,
treatment and recognition
it seemed implacably set
against when our defense
efforts began 20 months
ago. :. -.
Concessions Being Forced
Little by little, these con-
cessions continue to be
made, but always under the
pressure of aroused indig-
nation. The spirit Of lib
erality is often tinctured
with apparent ill-will be-
tokening reluctance. It is
wholly lacking in spontane-
Gus generosity and recogni-
tion of the supreme ele-
ments of justice and fair
play.
The New World Order, to
be erected on the ruins of
the old, will call for a just

ing them TO see clearly and
without fear. The women
must keep the light Of faith
burning. They must never
be too occupied to scotch
the first signs Of subversive
propaganda. They mutt
teach those who look to
them for guidance the de-
structive influence of this
propaganda which advoca-
tes racial discrimination and
religious intolerance. They
must keep their children
from bitterness and hatred.
They must educate them in
understanding-to shun the
the evil act because it is
evil--not because it is a.
gainst them. They must
use the war as a clarion call
to noble ideals and high
standards Of neighborliness
But the three principal
gifts they must give to the
children are peace, love, an
happiness at home. This
requires rigid self-disciple-
inc it is not dependent upon
material things. It takes
SO little to make child
happy and a home where
there is peace, quiet, and
cheerful voices and unfall-
ing love will immunize a
child against fear.
We may be anxious, we
may b e afraid, we may be
sad---but we can keep Cnat
to ourselves and not shad
~ cur children's lives.
They are the ones fol
whom We are fighting and
sacrificing. They are the
ones who will rule that bet
ter world of tomorrow we
are fighting to give them.
It is not enough to send
them into the future with
strong, healthy bodiesWe
must send them with
strong, healthy unscarred
and unafraid and able to
think clearly and with un-
derstanding. This is the
war job of the women OF
America!
