How frequently we hear such ex-
pressions as: These are terrible
times" or "these are times which try
mems souls" and 1t tragically Is
true, but 1t has ever been so. The
Psalmist, too, had lived through ter
rible times, but was able to say: II
trusted in Thee. O Lord. said. Thou
art my God. My times are in Thy
hands"
Here is statement of supreme
confidence and trust in God, no mat
ter what takes place, and know
of nothing more needed in our day
of awful bloodshed and warfare
than the same supreme faith and
confidence in the living God. In
spite of what Is going on in the
world around us, we still must be-
lieve with the poet that: Behind
the dim unknown, standeth God
within the shadow. keeping watch
above His own, and that as long as
Gods in His heaven" though all
is not yet right with the world. by
our assistance In the doing of His
will it can be made right In due time.
Now this does not mean that no
ill can befall Gods people. 1t can.
Being righteous man or Chris
tian does not exempt one from the
SORROWS and tragedies of mankind.
Jesus Himself was no exception, for
if ever one deserved to be exempt
it was He. No, 1t simply enables one
to accept and endure the troubles
of the world, so that one can declare
with job: Though He slay me, yet
will I trust In Him"

If we believe that even our trou-
bled times are in Gods hands, and
that God has not abdicated, but still
is in control, let us see what that
means. OF course, to speak Of Gods
hands, is to use figure OF speech.
for God is Spirit. 1t is necessary.
however, in speaking of the spiritual
to use the terminology Of the physi-
cal. Thus we may use the figure Of
Gods hands" as did the Psalmist.
First of all, let us think of Gods
hands as strong hands. How thrill
ing is the grasp or clasp of strong
hand! Our fathers used to say:

The Economic Future

On his 82d birthday anniversary
the other day. Henry Ford predicted
that an era of prosperity and
standard of living never before con-
sidered possible lies Immediately
ahead for the Nation and the world"
He is not alone in his optimism.
In the United States, at least, pro-
fessional economists and business
leaders are almost unanimous in
believing pretty much as Mr.. Ford
believes. and they are making their
plans accordingly.
Striking evidence of this can be
found in survey just completed
by the Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce in the Department
of Commerce. Covering 1000 Amer
lean manufacturing plants, the sur
vey reveals that these private enter
prises, despite the fact that the war
is not yet over, intend to undertake
an expansion program involving the
outlay of nine billion dollars within
the next twelve months. They are
doing this not on faith alone but
on the basis of concrete knowledge
that buying power of unprecedented
magnitude has been stored up in
the Nation. that there is a tremen-
dous backlog of civilian demand for
ordinary peacetime goods, and that
there is pioneering to be done in a
great field of entirely new products.
AS interpreted by Government
economists, the survey suggests that
if the nine billion dollars are spent
as planned, the years gross ma
tional product may reach 100 bill
lion dollars, largely in civilian
goods, as against this years gross
national product of 200 billion dol
lars. about half of it representing
Government war purchases. It also
suggests that reconversion planning
at least as far as private industry
is concerned-may be making bet
ter progress than was indicated in
the recent report of the Senate War
Investigating Committee and that
the transitional unemployment may
therefore be held down in the
change-over to full peacetime pro-
duction after Japan collapses.
All things considered, the survey
which covers only part of the
country's manufacturing establish
ments-lends impressive support to
Mr.. Ford's prediction and to the
general optimism existing in Amer
lea regarding the economic future.
There are certain risks in the situa-
ton. of course. A reckless spending
spree, wild boom, skyrocketing in
fiation-things like that are pos
sible. Given common sense planning.
however. given sound controls, a
wise tax policy and far-sighted
private enterprise. the years ahead
can be truly prosperous ones.
The promises and potentialities are
very great. AS of today, at any rate,
there is little in the picture to excite
peSSimists.

To American VoIor
From the London Times.

There will be no disposition on the
part of the American public to question
any sacrifice demanded for complete
victory in the Pacific. The moment
when the full resources of the United
Nations are being massed against Japan
is a fitting occasion on which to pay
tribute, not only to the immense Amer
ican war potential, but still more to the
desperate valor and heavy losses of the
American fighting men in the Far East.
They, like their Australian and New
Zealand comrades, have had to pay
grievous price for their islsnd gains.
The story Of the Marines at Tarswa.
the 10000 American casualties on Two
Jima, the hand-to-hand fighting on
Okinawa, all denote the ruthless bitter
ness of this campaign. The men Of the
heroic 18th Army who have fought the
Japanese through the Burmese jungle
with matchless courage and tenacity
can best appreciate the full measure
of the. American accomplishment, now
to be backed in its final contamination
with the fun and undivided weight Of
American resources.

my Times Aye i'm Thy Hands"
By the Req. A. B. Potorf, Th. D.,
Dean of Religion, the american University.

arms" and to them, 1t meant that
those arms and hands were strong
enough to hold them no matter
what happened. Yes, God still has
hold and control Of the world and
His grip cannot be broken by the
sinfulness of wicked men, though
often we are tempted to feel with
Badger Clark: God, it won't come
right" but ultimately it will come
right, for Gods hands are strong
hands.
And not only are Gods hands
strong hands. but they are tender and
merciful hands. AS tender and mer-
ciful to bleeding, wounded. broken
mankind as the tender touch Of a
mother to her little babe. I once felt
the tender healing touch of the hands
of the late DR.. Charles Mayo Of the
famous Mayo brothers, with his fin
gers turned up at the ends, and had
the feeling of soft velvet. Gods gen..
tie touch of love and mercy is like
that, and the world today sorely
needs that healing touch Of Gods
hands.
Gods hands, as well as being strong
and tender, always are outstretched
and welcoming hands. As the ia
theirs hands were outstretched to well
come the prodigal son upon his re-
turn home, so Gods hands are al
ways beckoning us to return from
the wayward wanderings in the far
country of unrighteousness to the
Fathers household, where we rightly
belong.
Surely, in these troubled days when
our hearts are so bitterly torn with
anxiety and concern for our loved
ones, so many of whom are in the
distant places Of earth, facing con-
slant dangers and even death, we
each of us need to come again to that
place of trust and confidence, as did
the Psalmist so long ago, and say;
Il have trusted in thee, 0 Lord,
Thou art my God, my times are in
Thy hands"
It is in that same spirit that Jesus
stands with outstretched hands and
bids us come unto Him, and through
Him, to Gods hands which are
strong, and tender, and welcoming.

Churnino

According to reports and rumors.
the home churning of butter is
having a renaissance, due to the
eXigencies of the moment. Down
from cobwebby attics and the dusty
storage space above the woodshed
have come the long disused churns
of yesteryear.
Time was when churning was a
regular weekly chore for a young
man on the farm. 1t was not an
anticipated task-just one of the
routine chores. On the other hand,
it was not so hard as turning the
grlndstone, and churning was def
nitely a notch above thinning car
rots or wedding the Strawberries.
The old churn was set on the kitchen
table. A lad could sit on high stool
and turn the crank.
IT the cream were well-ripened
and at just the right temperature
one could expect the butter to
come" in reasonable length of
time. But churning was never a
predictable matter, sometimes it
seemed as though the cream were
the height of perversity in an in
animate object. One could try
going very slowly, one could speed
up. Still the sloppity-slosh-slosh
notes.-the noise that said the cream
was still cream.
There was certain not unpleas-
ant rhythm about it as the wooden
paddles went round and round.
Sometimes a lad decided he would
count the number of revolutions but
some interruption always distracted
him. After certain length Of time
one needed to lift the cover just
to be sure the cream was still cream.
Keep turning, son." mother would
say. Every time you stop it will
be just SO much longer" At length
would come that welcome sound
the time when the cream ceased to
be cream and the globules of pale
golden butterfbegan to form. Soon
the globules united into shaggy
clumps and the churning was done.
After mother had worked the
butter, washed it in cold water,
salted it, and added a bit of color,
most of it was made into pound
prints, ready to be traded in for
groceries at the general store. But
the boy who had done the churning
usually got reward. A piece of
hot gingerbread with big lump of
butter, or couple slices Of fresh
made bread, literally covered with
fresh butter and generously smeared
with molasses we're very acceptable
Churning was q chore, of course,
but it had its bright side.

Churchill were on their way out from
their residence to the lawn where the
newspapermen were waiting for the
press conference. They had not ar
ranged any formal procedure in talking
with the reporters and Mr.. Churchill
told Mr.. Roosevelt to lead of and he
would follow. In his statement to the
reporters, during which he consulted q
few typewriter notes, the President re-
viewed the general situation confront
ing the Allies, the nature Of the pro-
ceedings at Casablanca and then, to-
ward the end, the thought of Lee and
Grant at Appomattox popped into the
Presidents mind.
He was thinking of Grants explana-
ton that he was not empowered to talk
peace terms with Lee, that his job was
to receive the surrender of Lees army.
But after Lees signature of the sur
render document, Grant showed his
rlagnanimity as conqueror. Lee men,
toned disposition of the Confederate
officers horses, which, unlike the sit
uation in the Union Army, were the
personal property of the officers. Grant
promptly told Lee that the officers
could take their horses home. They
would be needed for spring plowing.
The President was thinking less Of
the arbitrary implications of ~umcon-
ditional surrender" than of the fact
that before the Allies could decide what
terms to impose on Italy-which ut that
time was plainly cracking up-the
italian army would have to be sur
rendered.
