Roosevelt Overseas
eyeas Conlerence-- Showmans Colossal Performance

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT and Prime Minister
Churchill with their military and civilian
staffs have executed spectacular overseas confer
ence, performed under the most dramatic circum-
stances.
The meetings between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.
Churchill have always been highly dramatc-even

Both of these men are superb showmen. and
interchangeable adYenturerS.
In their most recent enterprise they have ex-
-rended Themselves
Mr.. Roosevelt flew ten thousand miles to keep
the rendezvous. and 10 return from IT,
Mr. Churchl's participation was almost

The whole undertaking was big. and in the
accustomed language of the expert Snowman
1stupcndouS, colossal, gigantic.
THE protective forces involved were probably
the equivalent Of those required for a major

part To make the venture safe and the spectacle
impressive.
Perhaps these masses Of men and planes were

portance of his own military operations is good
and entirely sufficient reason
1t may well be recalled here that Stain has al,
ways met the representatives of other nations
Allies or not-on his home lands
Stain is in the imposing position of having
every one come to him.
He goes to no one.
His sole socitude is the welfare of Russia.
1t might be well for some occidental politicians
to emulate his attitude and follow his example
HOWEVER, Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill
were eager to attend the spectacular confer
encc, and apparently felt free to do so.
And it is to be hoped the results of the confer
ence measure up to their expectations and an
nOncementS.
One of the announced results is that they are
resolved TO win the war, which is an affirmation Of

previously expressed intentions scarcely recurring
an enterprise of such scope and cost for emphasis
Another is that they agreed upon the
deslrabihty and necessity of complete victory
without compromise, which is not new or start
lingy original.
Still another is that they see turn in the war
from defensive to offensive action against the
enemy, and are optimistic and indeed assured about
the outcome-which is edfying and gratifying
but seemingly an expression of attitude and belief
which could have been made less sensationally at
home and in the privacy of their own boudoirs
NEVERTHELESS, the conference was held sue
cesstully-from the points of view of the
principals attending.
And tits to be hoped by the plain people that a
grand strategy indeed evolved for winning the
war completely and expedtiously.
1t is especially to be hoped that the necessity
for winning the In the Pacific, and for conduct
ing it as major conflict and not as an incident
and for employing sufficient forces to defeat and
destroy Japan before she consoidates herself in an
impregnable and indestrctibe position, was not
overlooked.
Unfortunately, Chang Kai-Shek was not at
the stupendous occasion to speak for immediate
and intensified war against Japan-being wholly
engaged IN preventing the threatened obliteration
of China by Japan.
RUT President Roosevelt was there representing
II the United States which also faces obliteration
by Japan as the dire alternative of victory.
And Mr. Roosevelt surely understands the
menace of Japan, and is aware of the concern and
gravity with which the American people view the /
conquests and encroachments of the Japanese in
the Pacific.
The fruits Of the conference are not in its
drama or in its smiling and gratifying conclusion.
They will be in events yet to Embellishments which
must certainly include and accomplish the utter
defeat of Germany and Italy, and must EQUALLY

BY this time, he had used two
thirds OF that amount, and knew
he must do something. So he

He paid IS for a mason to

$40 for pipes, a total of $50, but
then he could get no coal.

The coal dealer refused at
hrst TO sell. because the bags
were marked by a rival coal
company. but, after some nego-
tlation and a half day of effort
by the whole staff, they got 500
pounds into the office.

God hates all kinds of dishonesty
"a fact which is emphasized by
the additional commandment re-
garding truthfulness which is before
us in this lesson.
God is truth, that is. the very es-
sence of His nature is truth. In
Him Is no darkness at all Il John
l:5). Lying or false witness there
fore reveals character opposite to
God. Hence we are not surprised
to find in our lesson that Satan is a
liar and the father Of lies, and that
liars are his children.
1. The Nature of q Lie (Exod.
20:16; 1871, y.
The commandment against false
witness brings before us one form of
lying-for it has to do with perjury,
that is, the telling of an untruth in
court.
This Is one Of the worst forms of
lying, because it may result in the
one against whom it is practiced los
ing his liberty, his life or his prop
erty. It may mean the destruction
of his good reputation.
It is obvious, however, that the
commandment covers all forms of
lying, whether in business, in social
contacts, in the home, or in the
church. We might do well to con.
slider what the Bible has to say
about whisperers. talebearers, back
biters, and others (see Lev. 1875;
II Cor. 1920. A mans reputation
may be as easily ruined by a whis-
pered lie over the back fence or the
luncheon table as by formal per-
jury in the courtroom. Thou shalt
not bear false witness" at any time.

ii. The Practice Of Lying (Matt.

The people Of our Lords day (and
who can say that the custom has

lies and then trying to make others

sacred thing, and thus try to en-

authority.

The army air force has been
around the world l34,o78 times! That
is what air miles add up to-three
billion, three hundred and fifty-two
million in the fiscal year 1913.
Just how safe is the job Of pilot?
Not the job where you have to
count on the enemy fighters and the
ack-ack, but the job of learning to
be pilot.
'Ninety-five out of every hundred
army air force cadets are going
through their flight training progi am
with no personal injury of any kie.d, T"
says Col. Sam Harris. chief, army
air force Office of flying safety.
The office of air safety is the in
stitution which has built safety into
training programs as a highly en-
phasized part of the whole regime.
1t has three main principles.
Initial Phase
The first is prevention and in
vestigation, and the keynote here
is experience. The 54 officers who
take care of this end of the work
have a total air experience Of 80
years, 318 days In the air. These
men, known as regional safety Of
icers (RSOs) are assigned to each
air force and command in the Unit
ed States.
Here is an example of how the
RSO works. He goes to certain
field. He meets some cadets who
say they haven't had any breakfast
He puts that down in his notes. He
looks the place over, notes ditch
parallel to a runway. He orders the
ditch filed, talks with the mess Of
ficer and has breakfast served ear
lier. Then he tackles the boys
themselves. He gives them a talk
on the Importance of instruments.
Three separate moves and the ac-
cidents are cut down there.
The second principle is flight con-
troll" Here is where the flight con-
troll officer. traffic cop of the air,
comes in. For traffic control is as
important in the air as on the street.
The men of this force offer a
Pilots Advisory Counsel. This serv.
ice leads pilots through or around
dangerous traffic or weather condi-
tons.
Suppose the flight control officer
in the Seattle center knows Lieu
tenant Smith is headed in that di-
rection. He also knows that "cold
front" is moving across his path.
So he radios Smith. tells him to
make for an alternate airport.
No. 3 on the list Of safeties Is

sity of don something-perhaps
telling another lie-to cover his
falsehood. When his comfort or adj
vantage seems to be endangered be-
cause he is not believed. he brings
an oath to bear upon his statement.
Jesus taught the great virtue Of
simple living and simple speech A
plain Eyes" or mo" is usually suf-
ficient for the situation. Qualifying
words are apt to lead us astray.
The life of Christian should be SO
true and above board that no oath
should be needed to assure one Of
his sincerity and honesty.
Since not all are Christians, II is
a necessity that men be placed un-
der some kind of oath or affirmation
in judicial matters. Hence we need
not interpret this Scripture as for
bidding an oath in court.
It may be well to say a word
about swearing in general. It is all
too common among men, women
and children. No Christian should
ever be guilty of it, or that which
sounds like it. We need admoni-
ton and correction at that point.
Ill. The Source of All Lies John
8:4245).
The devil is liar, and the father
of lies. Liars are members Of his
family. Jesus said it. "Ye are =
your father the devil"
Liars had better consider their
family tree" and see how they like
their spiritual father. He is lustful,
murderous, and there is no truth In
him ". 44). If you belong to that
family would you not like to change
families and be born again into
Gods family?
Sadly enough the constant lying
of the world seems to have infected
the minds and hearts of Christians.
Instead Of being cleansed from this
worldly defilement they carry its aw-
full tendencies into the church. Is It
not too true that gossip (which is
almost always lying, false witness.
the tearing down of someone's good
name, is all too common in the
church?
The great lie within the church,
and one of Satan's prize exhibits.
is the falsehood Of modern religious
liberalism (so-called which is es-
sentially a denial of real New Te8ta-
ment Christianity. Jesus said ".
42) that If God is our Father we
will accept Him as the Christ. The
one who speaks sweet words about
the example, the manhood, the lead
ership of the Master and who denies
Him His place as God is clearly in
mind here as a follower Of the ia
Their of lies.
Note that in verses 45-47 Jesus
challenges His enemies to convict
Him of sin or of falsehood. No one
has ever been able to meet that
challenge.
The claims He made for Himself
as the Son of God and the Saviour Of
the world are plain and unnistak-
able. If we deny them we either
make Jesus q liar, or we lie our
selves, and it is obvious that the
latter is the case.
