PERSUASIVE TESTIMONY
BIZ the Right Reu JAMES E. FREEMAN D. d. ILL., d. S. T. D.,
Bishop OF Washington.

Opinions and ultimately judgments.
are largely determined by the persuasive
testimony of those who are moved by
some overmastering conviction. Great
movements are set forward. great causes
given impulse, because of the living wit
ness of those who, by word and act,
embody their ideals and principles.
Ideals and principles live, not of them
selves, but because of their high-minded
eXponents and eXemplars.
This is as true today as in former
periods. Any appraisal of the epochal
movements that have shaped the course
of human events, discloses the power
of those whose testimony and example
made the events possible. The high
points in the history of men have been
marked by the consecrated zeal, often
of few, the few who overcame all OPP
position and all obstacles because Of
the word of their testimony. Conflrma-
ton of this is found in striking pas
sage In Scripture. In the twelfth chap
ter of the Book of Revelation, a graphic
picture is presented Of the eternal con-
flict between Righteousness and evil, be-
tween the forces of darkness and the
forces of light The passage begins with
the striking words: There was war in
heaven" 1t portrays an uprising OF re-
bellio1s powers bent upon supremacy
and the overthrow Of Gods rule. In
majestic language, Milton thus de-
scribes the scene:
Him, the Almighty power
Hurled headlong flaming from the
ethereal sky,
With hideous ruin and combustion,
down
TIC bottomless perdition; there to
dwell
In adamantine chains and penal fire
Who burst. defy the Omnipotent to
arms"
Figurative as the Scripture language
is, it has deep Significance it is the
counterpart of the unceasing struggle
ever present in the world, the struggle
between good and evil. AS the passage
reaches its climax and the triumph of
righteousness is declared, the reason for

Roam, Sweet Home

The war has hit the automobile
salesman a stunning blow. What
can he do? He has spent years de-
veloping a highly technical sales
mechanism, with methods particu-
larly adapted to his own industry
and apparently useless anywhere
else. In Los Angeles, however, there
may be an opportunity for him to
carry on. A wrcc'sing comrany
there, which used to tear down
houses for salvage, now reconditions
them, sells them and delivers them
fob. and cod. right to the pur-
chaser's lot.
The former car salesman should
shine at this job. Now here's a
model" he will say, that is a real
bargain. The owner had to leave
town and decided not to take it with
him. It has not been driven single
mile. You won't need a garage to
house it; the open air will do. No
one will give you ticket, ever: we
will park it for you. 1t has an ample
fifty-foot wheelbase, but no wheels
to need tires. You operate it en- coal
and electricity; no gasoline is needed.
Do not worry about the payments;
they are on the house. When you
want to trade it in next year, on one
of our newer models, you will get the
best price. Sign here"
What a cinch the house salesman
would have in Washington-until his
customers ran out Of vacant lots.

the victory is given in these words:
They overcame by the word of their
testimony"
In every sphere of activity it is demon
strably true that, those who express their
convictions in terms of life WELD an
influence incalculably great. Patriotism,
love of country, has its high expression
in such noble passage as that uttered
by Patrick Henry, Give me liberty or
give me death" Again, it has it's en-
phasis in the words of another patriot,
where he affirms that his one regret
was that he had but one life to give for
his country. Such men affirm by their
lips and by their lives their belief in
the cause they represent. Today we are
to those basic ideals for which the Repu-
lie stands. We have abundant evidence
that our ideals as a people will be sus-
tanned, no matter what the cost, because
we fight for great cause.
In the sphere of religion, witnessing
to its deep principles is indispensable to
its very life. Religion does not survive
because of its creeds, nor because of its
vast organization. Its great cathedrals
and churches give mute and eloquent
testimony to its eternal worth, but these
of themselves are inadequate. The Chris
tian religion in particular has survived
through the long centuries in the face
Of violent opposition and conflict be-
cause of the heroic faith of those who
pledged their unfailing loyalty to Jesus
Christ. The history of the Christian
Church reveals type of heroic service
quite unequaled in the annals of history
1t is the record of those who counted
not their lives dear unto themselves
There is an urgent appeal in the world
today for fresh demonstration OF the
kind of faith that overcomes and ulti-
mately triumphs. The testimony of the
lips must be confirmed by the testimony
Of the life. Nothing is so irresistible as
living demonstration of Christ's way
of life, exemplified by those who see in
Him and His teachings the solvent of the
worlds complex problems.

AS to the immediate outlook, there
remain between 100000 and 100000
single, men without dependents, and
physically fit, who are not classified as
necessary men, in industry from whom
draft calls might be filed if there was
uniform national policy of applying
present standards. That uniform policy
is not being applied. however, and many
OF these men will continue to be outside
the calls.
Next, it is to take time to classify the
1919 year olds and to start including
them in large numbers in the groups of
men being indicted into the Army A
rush of enlistments in the Navy from
among this group is going to cut down
the number available to the Army.
This means that very heavy call Of
single men with collateral dependents
is having to be made. It means as we'll
that many boards will be forced to take
married men without children. The Off
cial estimate is that there are 4,O0o,00O
married men without children, of whom
100000 will be found physically fit.
The fact that 1919 year olds will be
available for call by the end of the school
year in July, 1s43, in sizeable numbers.
the further fact that 17-year-olds be-
coming Is probably will be registered
early in 1943, plus the fact that many
single men still are not called, should
make the drain on the married man
group rather light.
Certainly, on the basis Of present
standards, 1t Is not to be necessary to

call married men with children during
1943. It even is probable that any
change in draft standards will give spe-
cial consideration to married men with
children on the grounds that the support
of children Is . vital factor In the war

HEDY LAMAR, ROBERT YOUNG
 STAR, CAPITOL
HI. M. Pullman, Esq." l. Three day Attraction
 Starting Sunday.

HI. M. Putnam, Esq" based on J. P. Marquand's best-selling novel, should prove front-rank screen en- tertainment at the Capitol Theatre, where its principal characters are enacted by Heda Lamar, Robert Young and Ruth Hussey. This fea- ture opens Sunday
 The M-G-M picture follows the book with fidelity, recounting the life of Putnam, young Bostonian, who, after Harvard and the World War, plunges into business activity in a New York advertising agency and meets the love of his life in an ambitious "career-girl." Then, unable to escape his destiny, he returns to his home town to marry the girl of his family's choice, and, twenty years later, finds that when the opportunity comes he cannot recapture the romance of his youth.
 Hedy Lamar gives a crisp, in cisive portrayal of Marvin Myles, the straightforward, young business woman; Young is excellent in the role of Harry Pullman, role which sees him first as a college boy and finally as settled business man of midle age; and Ruth Husey is effective as the woman he marries, typically conservative Boston aris- tocrat.

 30-26

In the first game of a double header played in the Douglas gym last night, the St. Louis Blues scored a 30-26 victory over the hap less Bruins, The Bruins scored l3 field goals to the Blues II but still could not reap much sought after victory Puttin's five free throws proved the margin of vic- tory in the final tally Mohn of the Bruins and Griffith of the Blues were high scorers with five field goals each. The Bruins still have the same fault, that of not shooting at the hoop when they have the opportunity. If they would correct this fault they might add a few wins to their account as they have what makes a good ball club, namely, speed and &C., curate shooters
 Cheechakos Win
 In the second game of the eve- ming the speedy Cheechakos took undisputed possession of second place in the league standings by downing the Malamutes, 28-25 Again there could have been an upset as the Cheechakos were def initely out of form. The Malamutes failed to take shots when they had the chance and tried desper- ately in the last few minutes to make up the narrow margin that separated the two teams. The Cheechako defense frightened ur just in time to stem the rally.
 Osborn was the high scorer with four field goals and a free throw for nine points.
 Calkins of the Malamutes played very good game at guard ano his teammate Johnson played g good defensive game.
 Pennock was outstanding for tho ] Cheechakos and that team should reorganize and decide to let thi. man take few more shots in tht course of the game and they woulc have much easier going.
 The next games will be played in Douglas Monday night with tin, Moose vs. Waves and Wages vs Hillcrest. This game is being moved up from December 23 and ther, is another game scheduled in Ju neau for Wednesday.

Retailers For Victory" Drive Got Under Way Promptly At Noon
Fanfare of Air Sirens Rang Out Bond, Stamp Sales
 Were On

Although no official estimates were available day sales of war bonds and stamps by local mer- chants as the Retailers For Vic tory" drive swung into action here today, it was obvious from quick check-up and observation that Wa terbury was responding to the mer- cantile plea for monetary weapons with which to fight the Axis.
 A fanfare of air raid sirens, the sound pentrating far and wide through the city at high noon to- day, signaled the opening of the campaign. For the next fifteen min utes clerks in all local stores con- centrated on sales of stamps and bonds. All during July they will con- tinue to urge their customers to buy either bonds or stamps.
 Yesterday Mayor Vincent A. Scully heartily endorsed the Re tailers For Victory" drive. Today the issue was placed squarely before the public. On the response of the thoNsands of patrons of our local stores hinges the success of Wa terbury's participation in this na- tionwide effort.
