By way of contrast, during the same period the United States launched approximately 33 vessels. New British ships aggregated at least 426,500 tons. At the same time, naval sources said, British shipyards completed many of the 100 destroyers and light cruisers and 20 escorts and scouting | vessels she was known to have had on the way when the war began. The new merchant ships included 78 freighters averaging between 5,000 and 8,000 tons, four tankers and two passenger vessels. One British port alone produced 22 vessels, and has almost a score on the way.

Then, too, the well kept and beautified village has an uplifting effect upon the morale of its inhabitants. an inherent civic pride in the voice which can claim cilizenship in a place which is recognized as a de- sirable place in which to live.

The British Flag Sheltering Liberty The whole of Britain is under at- tack now, but in our own time she and her Dominions will take the offensive. They are on the offensive even now, for our gallant airmen are carrying the war to the heart of enemy countries, and to the terri- toriés which Germany has conquéred, and our incomparable fleet still com- mands the seas. Her soldiers at Dunkerque have proven their quality. We shall seé Britain triumphant, and long after the name of Hitler has become nothing but an unpleas- ant memory, the same flag, which now waves over disordered heaps of crumbled brick and stone and mortar, will be flying freely. and proudly in the airs of Heaven, sheltering liberty and justice and freedom and truth in its benevolent shade. That is the lesson of the flag fly-. ing over the ruins of British homes. —By Hon. Angus Macdonald.

If at OChifistmas time we only, think of and plan for these outward trepings and formalities of a com- mereialized and secularized holiday season and festival and spend our time, strength and money on these alone, how far short we will be from any emperience of the real joy, good will and Diessing of Chris:mas time— “Christmas in the heart.” “We'll find the Christ Child in each loving action, ; ‘Cradled in hearts that, open to His Light, Can understand and grasp the un- dying symbol Of Heavenly love, sent down on | Not one, but so many of the richest and sweetest joys human hearts an experience were born into our world with the birth of the ‘Babe of Bethle- hem. The old time angel messenger of that first Christmas proclaimed to the shepherds of Bethlehem ‘‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all peaole.” And through the cen- turies the Ohyitmas good ‘tidings have been ringirig and singing their way into «he lives of all those who have opened their hearts to receive and welcome the divine message and gift. At this Christmas season with the clouds and tragedies of war upon us and about ,us and abroad in our world and when so many hearts are burdened, heavy laden and fearful, we of necessity, must demand not simply the formalities and feastings of (Christmas but that we find our way to Bethlehem and. ponder afresh the message. “For unto you is born a Saviour which is Christ the Lord” and once pgajn refresh our spirits as we behold ‘the fulfilment of the great goompatie _message—For unto us a His shoulders, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Great Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” “Let ‘us go even into Bethichem” | to refresh our faith, renew our age and strengthen our spirits. | The SVivit of Chrictmas is eed something to be bimited and confined by what is generally considered the Christmas season and neglected: or forgotten immediately it is past. We must seek and cultivate the ‘Crist- mas spirit as an abiding treasure, an indwelling strength and stay for all the experiences that lie ahead. All is far, so very far, from being wll with and in our Empire and in our world, but we can never yield to doubt and despair whilst we have before us and in our hearts the constant reminder that in the Christ ‘(Child we have the continued manifestation of our Divine Father’s presence, love and care. We remember especially at this Christmas season that whilst our Canadian skies are calm and clear and our home and families secure and unafraid, other skies over our Em- pire are filled with the battle roar of the winged armies of death. Evil forces of vile ard evil sy/rit which would continue to spread and impose its tyranny vi-on all whom it might conquer and possess. May our hearts fo out to all people at this time whose homes and lives are being blasted and broken by this cruel enemy of | = our times. May we give ourselves to prayer, to service and if need be to sacrifice, not to accomplish a com- promise with the powers of oppres- sion, tyranny and hate, or a selfish and ill-conceived bargain with this evil thing which is abroad, but for its uprooting and the establishment of an order, and peace, based upon the abiding foundation-of Christian integrity, righteousness and good will. There is very much we owe to others and especially to our Lord, Jesus, that we can never repay. Nev- ‘ertheless there is also much that we can attempt and do to make real the gift and spirit of Christmas in the hearts of men and women and child- ‘ren both at home and abroad in the the contests and games.
