He could have stayed at home
and worked in the factory. Worked
well, too. Except for his father.
And something inside himself that
made him know he had to be one
of the men who tramped in the
mud and faced guns.
But there was nothing in
Trudy that made her feel as he
did. And so he had lost her.

and unhappiness rose in him,

small. And then, too, my father
needed me. He made war ma
terials, too"
Scott walked out into the night.
He walked fast, and he breathed
the crisping air in deeply. He
turned in at Trudy's gate. He rang
the bell and Trudy's mother an
SWered.

This Is important" Scott
said. ~ know Trudy wouldn't
want me to wait to tell her."
Mrs. Benton looked at him
closely. The laughter left her eyes
and for moment she looked tired
and almost sad.
But there was something else in
her face. Something that drew
SCOTS shoulders straight and
made his head go high.
He thought that for the first
time he detected admiration in his
future mother-in-law's face.
Mrs. Benton called Trudy and
then she left the two of them
alone.

"Well really, Scott" Trudy
said. 81 knew 1 fascinated you,

Scott looked at her. Al this
lovely little Trudy who wasn't
enough of an excuse for staying
out of the thick of the fight.
There was nothing frail about
Trudy. She was strong. She
could let man go TO war know
ing that she was taking care Of
herself.

going TO do with all those
presents" he said.

voice trailed off and when she
spoke again the lit had left it.

she stated, and in sentence she
had lost her sureness.

more. And, he guessed, that
was enough. II was enough TO
let Trudy know that they
weren't rich any more.
Now they had no more, no less,
than any one else. Their beauti-
full security was gone.
How could you do II, Scott?
How could you let what people

WHY THEY SAID 1T

And the reason they didn't sound
more bitter was that they liked
Scott and Trudy. They liked them
very much and respected them
very little.
But Trudy and Scott neither
knew nor cared what other people
thought of them. They went on
with plans for their marriage as
II II had been a time Of peace and
goodwill. Only occasionally did
they even mention the war.

day." Scott might say, "and
hated TO see him 60. Going to
miss him."
Or during a lull in the conserva-
ton Trudy might contribute:
"Jane simpsons wreck.
She hoped so that Bill. would he
stationed reasonably near for a
while"
They talked that way 10 each
other-casually. almost as II the
war was happening TO every one
else and leaving them untouched.
But once Scott noticed that
Trudy's fingers were crossed as
she spoke and his mouth frightened
for an instant.
II wasn't as if. he told himself,
he was doing nothing for his coun-
try. He worked in a vital indus
try. His father needed him 10
help keep the business going. His
father was getting old. He looked
tired and haggard these days.
TIN certainly not afraid to
CO." he told himself. And II was
true. He wasn't afraid Of any,
thing except losing Trudy and
the happiness he could know
with her.
He has always been close TO
his father, but now suddenly he
couldn't talk to him. He tried one
night when they were sitting in
the library after dinner.
'The news isn't too good" he
started, nodding down at the
newspaper on his knees.

moment and then he blew smoke
up at the ceiling.

to stay in this room any longer.

RADIANT LIVING
WHEN UNDER ATfACK
BY REV., O.. NJ. GRIFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church, 'CeciIton, Md.

1t is hard to keep your mouth
shut when somebody is hurhne
false accusations thick and fast
at you.
Yet this is just what Jesus was
able to do.
When false charges, supported
by lying witnesses, were made
against Him before the High
Priest, He remained perfectly
calm, and maintained such a mas
terly poise that the High Priest
was astonished.
"Answerest thou nothing?" he
thundered at Jesus.
But, as the Scripture declares: /:
HE held His peace and answered
nothing"
The reason why Jesus was able
to maintain such a mastery poise
was because He was in vital touch
with God.
BY an agonizing prayer in the
Garden of Gethsemane the night
before. He had won a complete vic
tory over all the satanic forces
which were brought to bear against
Him.
He won that decisive victory
when He sincerely and decisively
prayed: mot my will, but thine be
DONE"
From that moment on the bat
tie was no longer His. 1t was
Gods. In the place of that tortu-
GUS inner conflict, Jesus was now
pervaded by a divine peacefulness
which even the wild bowling of the
satanic crazed mob could not
ruffie.
There is much in today's life to
destroy your peace of mind. your
poise of spirit, your tranquility of
soul. The only adequate way to
meet the unrest, the insecurity,
the breads, and the fears of today's
life is to get in vital touch with
the all-masterful God.
Place everything into the hands !
of God. His grace is sufficient to
meet even the worse kind of a sit
uation.
A man fully yielded to God can,
with the poise of the Rock of Glib
ralter, stand up against the Sc
Verest storms of life.

Douglas Macarthur has arrived in
Australia, and Immediately the
United Nations have taken heart

the Bataan Peninsula, which was
really a restricted offensive ire
stricted only because air support
was limited) has placed the doughty
Macarthur in a class alone. With
the arrival of General Macarthur,
comes the official announcement
that the United States has sent sub
stantial help to their brothers-in-
arms down under" While we do
not, naturally, know how much as
sistance has been sent the Aus

AdOlph Shicklegruber, alias Hit
Ter, mass destroyer of virtue, re-
1igion and life, is, if the recent
speech he made to the German peo-
pie, any sign, scared to death. This
monster, who thought he could ar
range the world to suit his fiendish
Teuton tastes, is bedeviled night
and day by the ghosts of the more
than a million German boys whom
he sent to death with the wave of
a hand, by the tens of thousands of
people whom he had slaughtered
on the battlefields, in the towns,
and ON the roads of Europe, the
other tens of thousands who died
slowly and horribly from starva-
ton and disease. His waking hours
are tormented by reports that each
hour bring that horrible spectre of
defeat closer and closer. Hours
when he would sleep, he has to
wrestle with Ernest Rohem, the
friend he slew; Molders, the great
ace, who tired of accepting the iron
cross, told Hitler so and in turn
received the double cross. Hated, |
friendless, he bears the knell of |
doom, and the voice of the Master
of men, saying "Thy sins will find
thee out, the blood of the innocent |
will not go unavenged.
