American Aid Needed
 By Stricken Nations
Millions of Innocent Children Facing Starvation
 Warns Rev. Dr. John C. Walker in Sermon

q take some pride in remem- beriog that our charity in connec- ton with this war did not begin at home but in lands far away" said Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, Second Congregational Church pastor, yes terday morning in his sermon, He That Showed Mercy on Him.
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 Surely even now when our coun- try is involved the larger measure of our gifts should be given where the reed is greatest. We must think in terms of little English and Scot- tish children bombed out of their homes and churches, of French children wasting away for want of nourishnig food, of millions of bearded men behind the barbed wire of prison camps, of a land like Greece where proud nation faces starvation, of the agonies of the common people of Russia and China, of the 2000o0,0o0 refugees, one tenth part of the total popula- tion of the world.
 Some of the money you have given in the past, and I suspect an increasing proportion of what is given in the future, will be spent on American soil or with the American forces. As millions upon millions of men are mustered into the army and navy and other millions upon millions are enrolled among the de- fense workers, the church of Christ must vary and expand its ministry. The policy of your committee has been to strengthen the hands of churches. ministers, chaplains where a good work is being done but many Christian workers are being over whelmed by the magnitude of the

 Surely I need say very little on behalf of our own boys who are in the ranks. Of course we want to re- member and hearten them from time to time with cards, letters, magazines, a gift at Christmas time. They are part of our church family and we would as soon forget them as we would forget to visit the friend in the hospital or the family in trouble. These men are counting on Us for their moral and spiritual support. We will not, we cannot fail them.
 This is World Communion Sum- day. We have on our communion table the elements which are the sacred symbols of our Masters death and sacrifice. This is a sacred ceremony hallowed by great spirit. ual experiences and associations. But we are not far removed from things sacred when we ask for pledges of sacrifice just before a communion service. Perhaps you know that the very word sacrifice" comes from two Latin words which mean quite literally, ito make sac- red"

,ditor, Waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 As everyone realizes, we are en- gagged in war which is world wide in it's scope, the magnitude and i'm portance of which should not be underestimated by any one regard less of his station in life.
 The greatest problem today is the winning of the war and all of us should be prepared to submit to all of the sacrifices necessary to- ward that end.
 Winning the war is of primary importance, but we must not lose the benefits of peace together with the domestic security and freedom that we have known in the past.
 When the war is over, the entire nation will once more turn all of its energy to the pursuits of peace time production which we all hope will bring prosperity and happiness To accomplish this, it will be nec- essary for all of us, especially our leaders to retain the fiexibility of their minds and brains in order to adopt themselves quickly to the new conditions that will arise there by making it extremely difficult fl not impossible for any foreign ism or idealogy to take root here in America.
 Now. seems to be the proper time to begin to take an. intense inter- est in the leaders of the future as we have yet time to study these men who are desirious of becoming our legislators.
 Flexibility of the mind Is not only adaptable to business and the pro- fessions, but also the average citi. zen must develop his ability to adapt his political thinking and keep up with the changing eventa that are of the utmost importance to each and every one Of us.
 The average man who asplres Co be Q congressman or c senator is q politician who represents himself first, and some special interest see- ofid. and everybody else ia general Inst and not too ccnnclentl0usly.

 This proposed platform of a liv- ing annual wage raises each indi- vidual worker above the level of the automatic machine, raises him ur to the dignity of 8 child of God which he is, not to be discarded to suffer hunger and cold when out oi work, while the machine he used tc operate is cared for, protected from cold and rust. snow and rain until some freak boom or artificial prosperity brings the discouraged worker back for a few more months of feverish anxious employment.

forget the ticket, forget the man, but study his principles and if he is honest and sincere elect him to office regardless of his party and vote for rule by law and principle and not rule by man.
 The people of Germany and Italy have voted for rule by man in- stead of by law and principle and today they are Saddled with ruth less dictatorship which holds them in subjection which is no less ignominous than that suffered by the people of the occupied countries.
 Any one who will read the Holy Bible. St. Matthew, Chapter xxx, will see the justice of the first at- tempt to establish a living annual wage which is to be paid to workers and is based on the requirements of the worker and not on the number of hours he works. Following Is the parable of the laborers in the vine- yard.
 "The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder. who went out early in the morning to hire la borers into his vineyard. And hav- ing agreed with the laborers for a penny day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour. he saw others standing in the marketplace idle. And he said to them "Go you also into my vine- yard. and will give you what shall be just. And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour and dld in like manner. But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing and he saith to them. Why stand you here all the day Idle? They say to him: Be- cause no man hath hired us. Tie saith to them: Go ye also into my vineyard. And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labs ouFers and pay them their hire.
