H. H. Cox, into the spotlight as the most competent man for the position.

Mr. Cox may feel disinclined to accept thc 0n- erous job of straightening things out at Ottawa. But if duty calls, he must go. Should he find it difficult to obtain the same wholehearted co-op- eration that he received from his associates in this Province, he could be given thc requisite powers by order-in-crfuncil to enforce his decrees. And why not? Others are lvicltliltg similar powers, but they are usually appointed from large banking or business concerns in other provinces.

The aircraft industry too offers an example of arpplied man power and its results. Canadian plane factory floor space has been multiplied by seven since the war began and is now 3,500,000 square feet. Personnel has multiplied 37 times over and is 37,000 according to the latest official estimate. L'p to November, 3.749 planes had been rnanufac~ rurcd or assembled in Catrzrda and lion. C. D. llowe announced that there was sufficient cap- acity to keep the Air Training Plan supplied as wcll as to deliver fighters and bombers in some tpiarnity to Britain. P

Canadian Aviation cites also the Arucrlcan programme of aircraft production, present and potential, as evidence that the Democracies can outmatch the dictator states, given incentive and direction. But if we are to start winning the war on all fronts, it insists, the same Singlcnc5~ of purpose must be applied to the perfection of modern war technique. lt is not enough to train men on land, on sea, and in the air and to provide them with up-to-date weapons. There is des- perate need of a great Allied scheme to forge the weapons of lightning all-out warfare.

Argentina, which has declared itself neutral, in a way is in much the satire position as Eire with respect to thc war. Its neighbors arc anti-Axis and pro-North America, whilc it stands ncutrally alone. This may mean that its ports will not be available as traval or other havens for warships of the United States or of any other of the Cnitctl Powers. Nazi Germany will approve this decision. but what can Argentina expect from thin sour-cc? Hitler would not hesitate to take advantage of this neutrality if he could and if it suited his purpose. Olllflfll Afgfintina must realize this and must be aware that the country stands to benefit com- mercially and politically by closer friendship with the other republics of the Americas, which are dc- lcfllllflfltl l0 keep the Axis powers away from the shores of this hemisphere.

‘I'm-re is a propaganda abroad in Vancouver during the past week whose keynote is evacuation It is a miserable. contemptlble theory, founded upon nrcekness and a. de- sire to avoid responsibility. Be- fore the attack on Pearl Harbor scme weeks ago the Canadian Pacific coast was described as the safest place in the wtrici. That was the theory-but it. lms (hanged, almost. overnight. Now the story goes that we are likely to be heavily blltzed, The remedy is described as evacuation of part of the population, at least, to somewhere east of the Rocky Maintains In calm r-eaaotrlttrz. of course. there is not. the slightest justification 0f alarmist forecasts of imminent rat-tracks on Vancouver.

With this be our last issue? That is the question in our minds as we make up the pages of the Dogs‘ Bulletin, and the answer seems to be “Very likely ft will be the last untti the war is won." Well, the little views-sheet has had a 300d innings. and has been a useful means of reconilng the small histories of good work on behalf of the comrades who have shared our Joys in peace and now sustain without panic the perils of war. The hard, undeniable fact ls that three-fourths of our staff are sawing their country in other ways, in the Army, the Navy and more especially the Royal Air Force, far meet of them are in that, young and vigorous service to whose activities they have proved to be particularly useful. These younger men are scattered all over the country and now almost every day we have advices that the "403", of whom we have quire a number. are rmperatively rc- qulred to pass from the cannie de- fensive to our national offensue against cruelty to suffering tru-

THE SABBATH

DEMOCRACVS FIRST F UNDAMENTAL RULE

tContinued from yesterday)

(By Donald Macliinnon. K. C.

Christ was the ftrsr. fruits from the dead, and He arose on the flrfii day of the week, and on_ the day or Pentecost or feast of first. fruit! (Lev. 23, 15-16) His followers were gathered together with one accord m one place, and an otttpourtng 0t the spirit occurred on the first. day ot the week. Thereafter His follow- ers with the ever increasing know- ledge and understanding they be- gan to receive as they sought and had communion with Him on than first restirrectlon day. and endued with the power bestowed at Deute- cost, are seen again and again as- sembled on the first day of the week, or, on the eighth irvhleh (like the octrre in nnrsic) 1s the 581116 tActs 2,14; Lev, 23. 15-16 and 2i. Acts 30, 7; 1st Cur. i6. ‘.1 John 20. 19-26: Rev. t. fi-til. John ln Revel- ation records the lhrrnc of his nzeditation and lltS delightful ex- perience on the Lord's Day in these words:—"Je.sus Christ who 15 the faithful witness, and the first be- gotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kmgs of the earth. Unto Him that loved us and trashed us from our sins m His own blood. and hath made us kings turd priests unto God and Hts Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever."

Truly this was a Holy Day com- memorating at work whereby sinful inert were provldtd a way by which they could become kings and priests unto God through Christ's finished work of redemption. ‘This was the Lord's Day foretold by thc Psalmist when referring to Christ's death and resurrection. He spoke as follows:

"The stone which the builders re- fused ls become the head of t-he corner. This is the Lord's doing, it is marvellous in our eyes. This ls the day which the Lord tiath made We will rejoice in 1t."

tPs. 11B. 22-24). See also Mat. 12- 8. Mk. 2-27.

This Lord's Day prophecy is quoted by the apostle Peter (Acts 4. 10-11; as fulfilled when Jesus. whom the Jews rejected, was raised from the dead. To the Christian the day since has continued to be the day kept to commemorate God's finished work.
