BEHIND THE DIM UNKNOWN
By the Right Reu JAMES E. FREEMAN, ILL., D., D. C. L.,
Bishop OF Washington.

The old-fashioned method of making
good resolutions at the beginning of each
New Year may not be as widely prac-
ticed as it was in other days. Resolu-
tions in themselves have little value
The determination to take fresh grip
on life and to look forward with reason
able hope to the days that are to be is
far better than good resolutions. book
that I greatly prize has this sentence:
Christian progress is gained through
oblivion Of the past" The author was
not SO blind as to fail to reckon with life's
problems, its defeats and its failures.
What he was minded to do was to
attempt at the beginning of each new
year to avoid carrying over into the
future things that constituted the liz
bllities of the past. His word is in
consonance with that of st. Paul, where
he says: Forgetting those things which
are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things which are before, I press
toward the mark for the prize of the
high calling Of God in Christ Jesus"
These words become more significant
when We realize that they were written
by a man who was in prison and await
ing execution. Nothing could daunt
him, nothing could make him fearful
of what might lie ahead. He had de-
termined for himself a fixed purpose
In life, and Imprisonment and death
could not halt him.
Bunyan had something of this in mind
when he wrote his immortal allegory.
While in Bedford gaol, bound with
chains. his mind was roaming the world
and he was seeing the possibilities of
better things to come. 1t is a remark
able fact, repeated often in the lives of
men and women, that they have found
their greatest liberty and have attained
the heights of their widest vision. when
restricted by imprisonment or grave ILL
ness.
To reckon only with conditions past
and present, and to predicate the future

Stute and Local Debts

The announcement by the Census
Bureau that the volume of State
and local governmental debt out
standing decreased $40 100000 dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80 is
welcome news. During the proceed
ing twelvemonth period, States and
local governments effected a $42,-
100000 reduction In their indebted
ness, and the reductions for these
two years have Cancelled most of the
increase of $663 10000 in State and
local Indebtedness between 1882 and
1940
At the mid-year point, State and
local debt totaled $19,643 ,000, 900, as
compared with a Federal debt at that
time of more than 100000, 900.
The combined governmental debt on
June 80 was equivalent to $688 per
capita, of which the Federal share
was $541. Since then, Treasury bor-
rowings to meet our war needs, have
pushed the Federal debt above the
.$lo0, 900, 100000 mark, and it may
reach $4,000, 100000 by next June.
Though larger tax receipts arising
from the war boom. and the tighten
ing of relief loads due to expanding
employment explain in part the re-
cent reduction in State and local
debts, they do not provide the full
explanation. As the Census Bureau
report points out, many State and
local officials have co-operated in
the national campaign against infia-
ton by postponing non-essential

is utterly improbable. One does not
have to be irrationally optimistic to
take hopeful outlook upon the days
that are to be. If the making of the fu-
ture were wholly in the hands of mortals
like ourselves, and If the shaping of
events were to be committed to those
who have little of Christian faith, there
would be cause for concern. Repeatedly
in the course of human history, it has
been a high-minded, determined minor
ity who were inspired by strong un-
deviating Christian faith. who have
given shape and form to the course of
events. 1t will be so again. They were
men and women who believed the ancient
word: Not by might, nor by power, but
by spirit, saith the Lord"-men and
women who refused to be frustrated or
defeated by the tragic passing events of
the hour.
The supremest example of courageous
optimism and hope is found in the Man
OF Nazareth Behold we 90 up to
Jerusalem" was His word, when He knew
that it meant cross. But beyond the
cross He saw the ultimate triumph of
His cause.
One thing is supremely needed if we
are to have hope of better tomorrow;
that is, Christian faith that is not
susceptible to change because of the
tragic events through which we are
now passing. We certainly need more of
reflection, more of quiet, and more of
trust in the ultimate outworking of
Gods eternal purposes. We consistently
can say to those we greet, "A happy New
Year" and mean it, if we have the sure
conviction that:
Though the cause of euil prosper,
Yet It's truth alone is strong:
Though her portion be the Scafold,
And upon the throne be 1rronq,
Yet that Scafold Suays the future,
And, behind the dim unknoUn,
Stdndeh God Uithin the ShddoU

Man in the Forest

Those who have seen "Bambi' will
be ready to believe that five years
of labor went into it's making
Judged even as a mechanical
achievement, it is good to know
about. The artistry Of its produc-
ton requires no emphasis. One need
not be professional critic in order
to understand that it is a master
work of design. The little faWn,
hailed by the rabbits, the squirrels,
the chipmunks, the moleS, Friend
Owl and all the other creatures of
the woodland world as their prince,
is unforgettable. To meet him once
In the fleeting shadow of the screen
will insure remembrance Of him al
ways. And a similar observation
should be registered for his parents,
his mother especially; Faline, the
little girl deer that he meets in the
meadow and finds again in the fire;
Thumper and the generality Of their
contemporaries of the green sane
tuary to which inevitably autumn
and winter come.
But the pic ure is not exclusively
the fruit of the idealism of Walt
Disney and his staff OF collaborators,
It represents likewise the genius Of
a great modern fabuliSt, a poet
philosopher of unfailing spiritual in
sight-FeliX Salten, born in Buda-
pest educated in Vienna, more
recently for reasons apparently
resident of Zurich in Switzerland.
He has written novels, essays, plays,
many books about animals and their
natural habitat: The quiet hills and
valleys which the Architect of the
Universe intended for their home.
Bambi's biographer did not invent
him; rather he discovered him-and
employed him to point a moral OBJ
vious enough for those who have
responsive hearts. The little fawn
is happy, his world is world at peace
until: Man enters the forest! Even
very small children comprehend the
lesson which Mr.. Salten and Mr..
Disney have to teach:' Man is the
destroyer; Man wrecks beautiful
places, hurts and kills innocent and
helpless living things; Man leaves
desert as his monument.
Yes, that is what Bambi learns.
But there is more to tell than tale
of horror. 1t happens that Man also
creates, preserves. maintains, pro-
tects; Man loves and heals and prac-
tices a reverence which is as real
as are his sacrilege and sin; Man
shelters; Man saves; Man causes
beauty and peace to return; Man
himself learns. '''

PLANE PATROL
OFF GUIANA IS
TEDIOUS TASK

Zandery Field, Dutch Guiana,
july 16. CUP)-It Is a few minutes
to midnight when six young men
saunter up to the big twin engined
plane squatting on the runway.
The leaderwaves to the ground
crew, gets the O. k. signal from the
crew chief, and says, Lets CO."
They pile into the opening in the
side of the fuselage, and noiselessly
and with the experience born OF
long practice, arrange themselves
In their proper places:
1t. r. o. Andrew, the pilot, from
Wichita. Kan, straps himself In
checks his instruments, and gets
an affirmative nod from his co-pilot,
1t. E. ]. Presean OF Gretna, La.
The intercom telephone buzzes
and the rest of the crew check in:
Staff Sgt. J. j. White, engineer,
from Richmond, Va; Sgt. G. M.
Sheriff., bombardier, from Long
Island, N. c.; Cpl. j. E. Donnell,
radio operator, from Lake Charles,
La, and Tech. Sgt. S. r. Mandel
radar operator, from Long Beach,
N. Y.
The motors cough into life, warm
up, and slowly the plane moves to
the head of the runway. 1t gathers
speed ,lurches toward the jungles,
and at the last minute heaves itself
into the air like fat, out of-condi-
ton duck.
The clock on the instrument panel
gloWs exactly midnight.
Lieutenant Andrew climbs the
big ship for the short run out to
sea. All over the plane men are
getting fixed as comfortably as
they can for the long patrol ahead
eight hours of fave hopping, look
ing for enemy submarines, search
ing out the German pig boats
which might be lying in wait for a
helpless freighter.
The Atlantic Ocean looms blackly
below as Andrew brings the plane
to less than 100 feet from the water
Sergeant Mandel adjusts the in
struments before him, and the del
icate nd-detecting apparatus be-
gins prodding the black water be-
low with long, sensitive electric
fingers.
Hour after hour the plane sweeps
In circles, figure Fights, equares,
heads out towards Africa, returns
toward South America, north
south, east, west, she flies. There is
no joking on the intercom tele-
phone; no idle chatter back and
forth.
This is routine to these men
boys, rather. They go out every
other night at midnight; they per-
form their patrol; they drop a
depth charge or two now and then,
and hope that they have sent an
other enemy to the bottom.
Dawn breaks, and Andrew heads
for home. They reach the coast
and climb for the run across the
jungles. Zandery Field comes into
view. The lieutenant banks the
ship, makes a sweep, and slips down
on the runway.
He glances at the clock on the
dashboard as the wheels touch the
ground,

What puzzled most of our men
about Japanese was the absolute
lack of tie-up it had with any other
language.
Japanese nouns for the most part,
have no number. article or gender.
Personal pronouns are unheard of.
lap adjectives are part of their verbs,
and their sentences roll on forever.
Very rarely did any two Marines
translate a Japanese sentence in the
same way, albeit they both obtained
