Daily Prayer
For Wars Detectives

In thoughtful sincerity, we be-
lieve, o Heavenly Father, that
we are engaged in a holy war.
For our aim, learned from Thy
word, is to bring liberty to the
captives: to overthrow the oppres-
sor, to establish justice and
brotherhood on earth. We seek
all the great goals that are rep
resented by the coming of Thy
Kingdom. So we pray that in
this great Cause we may carry on
greatly. Keep, we pray Thee, our
hearts atuned to the noblest con-
ception of the war. May no
baseness or greed or selfishness Or
Sinking dim the bright flame of
pure patriotism. Anoint our eyes
by Thy Spirit that we may per-
ceive clearly the beautiful goals
for all human life toward which
we. battle. Sustain by Thy grace
our fighting forces and those who
work and wait at home. Make us
fit for Victory that will bring
peace and freedom and justice to
all the world. Amen.-W.T.E

Politics First

1t would be helpful if what goes eli in General
de Gaulle's mind could be accurately interpret
ed. Because it cannot, and because the
gentleman has exercised a disturbing in
fluence ever since he fled France and set up
headquarters in London, it is possible only to
think that his political ambitions are more i'm
portant to him than fighting the war and
winning the victory over the armies that over
ran his country.
He has thrust General Giraud out of the
French Committee of National Liberation, of
which he was co-president, and So enjoys the
distinction of ruling that group single-handed
Maybe he has done wise thing We would
MT know But we cannot help observing that
while General de Gaulle has been playing
politics, General Giraud has been on the fir
ing line leading Freedmen valiantly in battle.
There is a strange contrast in the position
of these two men. Whereas General de Gaulle

Arrnistice Day

In one way Ar1nistice day commentaries de-
feat Notwithstanding that on November II,
1918, when guns stopped firing OF the Western
front, the hostilities that had bathed the soil
of France and Belgium in blood for four ter
rible years were only suspended. The peace
that all the world hoped would follow was only
a temporary arrangement. As soon as
new generation had arrived at fighting age in
Germany, the second phase OF the World war
came. The Armistice was indeed only ces-
sation of hostilities.
In another way Armistice day paradoxical-
ly signalizes victory through lis failure. The
world outside Germany knows row. through
the cruel lessons OF this war, that another
Armistice followed by another temporary
peace cannot save civilization We know now
that when the last gun is fired. when the life

flict must be rendered incapah BILE Of making war
