is dimly learning that world unity
Is an irrevocable fact; and that, as
Jesus said, "all ye are brethren" !"
BY bomb and bullet, airplane, war
ship and tank, as well as by minor
restrictions on the home front-at
which the child-minded grumble as
If they were battlefield hardships-
we are being taught that none of us
liveth to himself and none of us
dieth to himself.
1t is scriptures vision glorious,
Of new earth, wherein every one
lives for all, by the clear direc-
tions Of God, that should possess
the soul of every one of us in this
day, The character of each of us Is
a factor in the whole problem.
Obviously, we cannot have q good
world, a mutually helpful, unselfish
and brotherly world, if any consid-
erable number of us insist upon liv-
ing for ourselves, in pleasure-seek-
ing. money-loving liquor drinking,
self-induging individualism. The
mathematical axiom, "The whole is
but equal to the sum of its parts" is
inexorable. In this era of the great
change, the hardest lesson to learn
is that the only possible basis for a
new order OF life-the prize for
which we are paying such a terrible
price on the battlefield-is q new
kind Of folk, with new standards
and new SelfleSsness and new serv-
ice.
If we are to go up, we have got to
give up. Just as we are now sub
mitting. more or less nobly and pa
tf1otlcally, to restrictions of our oil
and gasoline and food supplies and
countless inconvenience which af-
feet every life, so, in the fulfllment
OF the grand objectives to which we
have consecrated ourselves, we shall
have to forego luxuries, deny appe-
tites, abandon many social pleasures
and forget our old orgies of drink
ing and sense satisfaction. In a
word, we must accept the standards
set up in the New Testament; we
must become real and practicing
Christians.
I have tried to lay a broad base for
this lesson upon the Bibles teach
ings about drunkenness, for its is
profoundly significant that the Bible
links intemperance with all the
other practices which represent a re-
pudiation of Gods law. They are
grouped together as kindred express
sions OF godlessness and the bad life.
Although personally lifelong abb
stainer, try not to be fanatical
about a practice the net results of
which are evil. I cannot forget that

ing experiences of one of the best
Of the war correspondents. He lets
the actualities speak for them
selves. Primarily his picture of the
fall Of Penang, Singapore and all
Malaga is q master indictment Of
the small, prosperous group of
whisky-swilling white men who
failed utterly to sacrifice their rou-
tine of self-centered indulgence to
make ready for the inevitable on
slaught Of Japan. They thought
that the old order of special priv
ilege would continue: thus they fled
precipitously at the last moment
from Penang, leaving all the Asiatics
behind, not even destroying the
radio station or removing the treas
ures from the banks. They expected
to come back shortly to the old days
and the old ways. None among
them could perceive that their lazy,
self-indulgent, hard-drinking old
world was gone forever. A better
illustration than the collapse of
Malaga could not be cited for the
Scriptures teaching that where
there is no vision the people perish. !"
Tho Hour for Vision.
Some millions Of us in North
America are not far removed from
the state Of mind of the Singapore
sybarites. We ask nothing else
than that yesterday return tomor-

already lifted up theih voices in
behalf Of new, unified, unseflsh

sons it would not learn without
chastening. Even the dullest Of us

quarters are anxious to see how
these attacks will develop. The
attitude and behavior Of the
italian forces will give a clear
indication of whether we can ex-
pect to move into italy this sum-
mer or whether we shall have to
delay an eventual invasion of the
Italian mainland.
Sicily is the key to the Central
Mediterranean. 1t has been
strongly fortified since 1887. At
present there are important
forces garrisoned on that island,
which is approximately the size
OF Maryland. According to latest
available reports. there are seven
divisions - about 10000 men
stationed on Sicily behind strong
defenses. There are several good
airflelds and 1t is believed there
Is at least one and possibly two
underground airdromes.
Nazis Reported Removed.
At one time last spring there
were two Nazi divisions on Sicily.
But reports which have not been
thoroughly verified say these
Nazi troops have been withdrawn
since May and replaced by Ital-
ian divisions which had seen
service on the Russian front.
These troops have been through
heavy fighting. They are reported
to be much more hardened than
the other italian units.
OF the IS divisions which are
said to have been sent to help
Hitler defeat the Russians last
year, II have been returned to
Italy: the others have been lost
in combat. These IL divisions
form the backbone of the Italian
forces and are stationed now at
invasion points,"
The operations of the Allies
will be preceded by gigantic air
raids. The aviators themselves
concede, however, that it Is high
ly improbable that the Italians,
If they have any fight left in
them, will surrender to air bonn
bardment alone, as in the case Of
Pantelleria. In Sicily, the prin-
cipal job Of aviation will be to
soften up the enemy as it did in

backs.
