.PRESBYTERIANS'
ANNUAL REPORT
WARNS OF HATE
American Victory Not to
Insure Advance of Gods
Kingdom Says Leader

Atlanta, Ga, May % - THE re-
sponSibility of Christian citizens in
wartime and in the peace which
follows involves right attitudes. puri-
fled aims and unceaSing action
according to the annual report of
the committee on moral and social
welfare of the Presbyterian Church
in the United States, which will be
submitted 10 the General Assembly
Of the church Of approval May 81,
in Montreal, N. C.
The committee, Of which the
Rev. Stuart r. Oglesby, DID, of
Atlanta, is chairman, has made its
report under two heads: The Chris
tian's duty-"In Relation to Present
Condition" and I'm Relation TO the
Postwar WorlG.'
Liberties at Stake
Pointing out that the fundamen-
tai liberties Of mankind are at stake
in the present conflict the report
states, The victory OF America will
not insure the advance of God S
Kingdom, but it will insure the
church free opportunity to pro-
claim its faith and will provide an
opportunity for all men of good will
to labor for justice and brotherhood
among men,"
The report points out that war
breeds new evils and develops old
ones. 1t says, Christians should
make it their aim 20 be arrayed
against those evils which strike at
the heart of hte Christian religion"
enness, gambling, racial prejudice,
religious intolerance, divorce, loose
morals and economic injustice.
The committee draws attention TO
the need for prayer, stating in the
report that the heroic airmen on
the raft with Eddie Rickenbacker,
and others soldiers, sailors and air
men in fox holes of Bataan," on
Guadalcanal and in North Africa,
"resorted to God in their hour Of
peril
Sees Floods of Hatred
The second part of the report
deals with the postwar world ques-
ton The committee strives in its
statement to hold before the church
the need to face and to accept GER
tain duties. Says the report. with
the downfall Of the Axis powers,
such floods of hatred and passion
for revenge will be loosened as will
threaten a cruelty equal to the hor-
rors already visited upon mankind.
If these dangers are to be over
come and a just and lasting peace
established, the United Nations
must exercise craftsmanship Of the
highest order. If the problems of
our world are 10 be solved, it must
be in the light of Christian revel-
alton"
The committee recommends to the
general assembly that the church
"consecrate herself anew TO this
all-important task"

Good Evening.
ABSENTEE1SM

Johnny Brown take your seatl
Said teacher Miss Alice Gray in white neat.
No recess for Johnny all week,
(Oh gosh, oh gee, no hide and seekD
Johnny Brown played hooky from school,
This was decidedly against the rule
In all Miss Alice's ten years of teaching
Even with very little preaching,
Boys and girls never played hooky
In her school you can bet cooky,
Unless for toothache measles or broken arm,
Chicken-pox, tonstis, or showed in on the farm,
Until Johnny Brown with the urge Of Spring
Absented himself, and then, bang! and bling!
Johnny was sent to the Office quick,
He'd much rather thave been good and SICK,
For you see at Miss Alice GrayS school
Kids didn't break the golden rule.
They cut up OF course were sometimes late,
Many would good strapping rate.
Then came the day when Johnny Brown
Made himself the talk of the town,
But meekly took his twenty Whacks,
And Johnny didn't have any snappy comebacks
For our school didn't stand for careless free-ism
That they nowadays call absenteeism.

German Labor Draft
Leaves North Italy
In State Of Chaos

ON THE GERMAN SWISS
FRONTIER, Nov. Is H. Chaos
exists in northern italy where the
Germans have failed in their ef-
forts to conscript Italian men as
both soldiers and workers, for
eign diplomat who left there Sun
Gay said today.
At the same time new stories of
harsh repressive measures used by
the Nazis against increasing sabo-
tage and guerrilla resistance came
out of France, and from Germany
new accounts of Nazi measures
to stiffen their hold on the home
front were reported.
A Swiss telegraph agency dis
patch said four French Partisans
had been shot by Nazi authorities
in the Toulouse area in retaliation
for large-scale terrorizlng of col
laborationists, of which Is we're
killed in the past ten days.
The diplomat who just returned
from northern Italy said youths
were growing boards and using
other DISCUSSES to make them ap-
pear old so they could avoid Nazi
military or labor conscription.
