Thou, o Lord, art working out

of time and eternity; and we can
only walk humbly in the ways Thou
makest plain before us. Enable us
to love Thy kingdom on earth foc

expectation of reward. Anoint our
eyes to discern ever the spiritual
verities of this war. So do Thou
quicken our passion for those
aims, blazoned on our own ban

nature of God. In all of our fight
ing with the hosts who hout Thee
and haunt their pagan purposes,
may we be animated by the con-
[secrated zeal of those who are
called upon to do the stern will OF
God. Exalt Thyself above all 9TH

WASHINGTON - Il 1t wer e

ly clear that the San Francisco
conference must be postponed. I
say that knowing very well how
extensive are the preparations al
ready made for that conclave OF
statesmen.
It would have been difficult I'M
der any circumstances to reach an
agreement short of weeks of de-
bate. That debate would probably
have occurred just as the war
reached its climactic end.
Now with unhappy ineptitude
comes the disclosure that Russia
and the United States intend to
ask for three votes each in the
United Nations assembly. They
agreed to that secretly at Yalta.
This decision by Stain and
Roosevelt multiplies all the objec-
lions raised against the Dunbar
ton Oaks proposal by the smaller
powers. It seemed that they were
being asked merely to ratify the
decisions of the Big Four who
would control the security coun-
Gil. That is what foreign minister
