 ected as Air Force Pilot

Al Ernrida, son of MT. and Mrs Alvaro Ernrida of 39 High street an Army Aviation Cadet at Ram dolph field, Texas, has been special ly selected for training as pilot in the Army Air Forces.
 Major General H. R. Harmon of the U. s.

Upon their precision, daring and coolness will depend in large measure the success of our entire war effort.
 The remainder of Maj. Gen. Har- mons note to Mir. and Mrs. Ernrida follow:
 "The duties of an Army Air Pilot call for a high degree of mental and physical alertness, sound judgement and an inherent aptitude for flying. Men who will make good material for training as pilots are lare. The Classification Board believes your boy is one of them.
 If he shows the progress we con- fidently expect of him, he will in all probability win his wings as a qualified pilot. Considering the rigid requirements for this training, you have every reason to be proud of your boy today. I congratulate you and him."

"I contend that we American Christians need to think in terms of the best things in the worst times" stated Rev. pr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Second Congregation al church, Sunday morning in his sermon entitled, The Best Things in the Worst Times
 pr. Walker said In part:
 Perhaps you are much more opti- mistic than I am. Perhaps you see some simple solution to our prob- lens, our perils. It may be that you suppose that this Second Front of which we have heard so much and seen SO little, will mean a quick and sweeping victory without any great loss of life. Mayhap you think that no real sacrifices of any significance will be required to win an over- whelming victory. Perhaps, but I don't think so. No, I am very much afraid that there are hard, bitter tragic days ahead and sense the same anxieties and fears in your hearts. It is no use crying, Peace! Peace!" when there is no peace any, where in the world. It does not make sense to argue that global war and world revolution are go- ing to be resolved by financial ap- propriations however. large or po- ntical maneuvers however skillful, World War II. which has already cost twice as many lives as World War l and victory can be won only at the cost of other precious lives, There is no reason to despair, God is still in His heaven, but fatuous, foolish, unwarranted optimism should be set aside for the duration and for some years after the end of the military struggle. We face 6 poorer, harder. sadder world, make no mistakes about 1t. Our sons are in peril, and nation is in peril, dem- ocracy and organized religion are in deadly peril. This is not the time to rest at ease in Zion. This is the time of all times to measure up to the supreme demands of our Chris tian faith.
 If we take our inspiration from the old inscription, as 1t seems to me we are so abundantly justified in doing, we have the proud ex- ample of man who hoped for and expected the best things in most caiamitous times. No Christian need surrender to despair at any time. Do you remember that immortal al- legory, "The Pilgrims Progress9" It

JEWRY PREPARES
 FOR NEW YEARS
Rosh Ha-ShOnO to Be Ob= served Commencing Sat-
 urday, September l2

The Jewish New Year of Rosh Ha-shono will be observed this year on Saturday September l2. The festival marks the beginning on Saturday, September l2. The fes- tival marks the beginning of the year, 5703, of the Jewish calendar, and in accordance with traditional Jewish observance will begin at sunset on September II. It will be celebrated for one day by Reform Jews and by Conservative and Or thodox Jews for two days.
 Originally, this New Year was an agricultural festival. marking the opening of the agricultural and economic year in Palestine which began in the autumn. As the agri. cultural background disappeared from Jewish life rabhinic authorities invested the festival with spiritual meaning. They associated 1t with the beginning of creation and as ( time when God passes judgment up- on all the inhabitants of the earth The Idea of judgment Is the keynote for the New Years service. The It. urgy for the day emphasizes th' thought that it Is to be 6 time fo1 self-examlnatlon and repentance, ol reconciliation Of man with man and man with dod, making tor [ spiritual recreation of life.
