The Rising Lights of National Leadership
Time, the war and the present political campaign
are bringing many new men before the American
public who have not had the opportunity to demon
strate their abilities in public affairs. One of the
most prominent is John Foster Dulles, who has been
selected by Thomas E. Dewey to represent him at
the Washington conference on peace planning, and
is reported to become Secretary of State if Dewey is
elected. Dulles is head of the largest law firm in
New York and his clients have been Polish, French,
Dutch and Belgian government, from whom he has
gained a wide international experience. He was sec
retary to the Second Hague Peace conference and
was legal counsel to the American delegation at Ver-
sailes in the formation of the League of Nations.
His grandfather was Secretary of State under
Benjamin Harrison and his father was a Presbyter
ian minister. He is the author of “Peace, War and
Change’’, a book widely read for its political philos
ophy, and, while not a conventionally a religious
man, has said that “there must be a Christian, ethi
cal content to a lasting peace ; that, in short, diplom
acy is not enough”. Such, in brief, is the first man
selected by Dewey under his promise that his cabinet
would be men especially qualified for the task of his
position.
Another man that is rising rapidly is Eric John
son, president of the United States Chamber of Com
merce, who has recently been on a visit to Russia to
study trade relationship with the Soviet government.
He is said to be slated for Secretary of Commerce in
Dewey’s cabinet, and has already been considered
as presidential stature.
Thrown into the limelight is also General Patton,
after a semi-retirement for a year. He has won the
glory of the Normandy front and took the headlines
last week over the invasion in Southern France. Gen.
Patton, familiarly known as “Old Blood and Guts”,
is now leading his army toward the German border
with great success and no lead in his shoes—and
when we say he is leading we mean that he is in the
front lines with his men, taking his chances with the
common soldiers and winning their confidence and
inspiring them to battle. Congress, and maudlin
sentiment, is not likely to withhold further advance
ment of this great and badly needed fighting gen
eral.
Out of emergency and opportunity the nation will
find its great men, and along with them the great
ness of other men and boys—the common soldier.
While we admire and praise the great leaders, we
admire and praise the millions of “unknown” sold-
iers; without whose qualities, born and developed in
a democracy of freedom, our great leaders would
fall before the enemy, in the battlefield and in the
world of state craft.
THE PRESENT
CT
IND" was the subject ef
. the Lesson-Sermon in all
Churches of Christ. Scientist, on
Sunday, August 20.
The Golden Text was, “Not
that we are suffieient of our
selves to think any thing as of
ourselves; but our sufficency is
of God" (II Cor. 3:5).
Among the citations which
comprised the Lesson-Sermon
was the following from the
Bible: “For who hath known
the mind of the Lord? or who
hath been his counsellor? For
of him, and through him. and
to him, are all things: to whom
be glory for ever. Amen” (Ro
mans 11:34,36).
The Lesson-Sermon also in
cluded the following correlative
passages from the Christian
Science textbook, ‘Science and
Health with Key to the Scrip
tures” by Mary Baker Eddy:
“God is infinite, the only Life,
substance, Spirit, or Soul, the
only intelligence of the universe,
including man . . . Spirit is di
vine Principle, and divine Prin
ciple is Love, and Love is Mind,
and Mind is not both good and
bad, for God is Mind, therefore
there is in reality one Mind
only, because there is one God”
(p.330).

they can to effect delivery of such
gifts, because we know how important
they are for the happiness of the
armed forces. Too frequently, noth
ing can be done.
“I am sorry that anyone ever men
tioned that the size of a shoe box is
the approximate limit for packages
intended for gift mailings overseas.
Unhappily many people became con
vinced that a shoe box is the best pos
sible container. We must be mindful
that these gifts must travel far. with
shipping spate crowded. If the gifts
are to be protected in transit they
must be packed in boxes made of met
al. wood, solid fiberboard, or strong
double-faced corregated fiberboard,
reinforced with strong gummed paper
tape or tied with strong twine. If
both tape and strong twine are used,
so much the better. If the outer wrap
per is crushed—and this is likely to
happen—the loss of contents may be
prevented if fiberboard boxes are
wrapped in heavy paper.
“We were unable to deliver many
parcels which families and friends
sent to men and women overseas last
year because they were crushed in
transit and the gift and the outside
wrapper became separated. We would
have been able to make delivery if the
address had been shown on the inside
wrapper. We advise that everyone
write the address of the sender and
addressee inside the package as well |
as outside.
“Christmas gifts mean much to our |
people overseas. Because strong twine, i
heavy paper and boxes and fiberboard
will prove of real help in making de
livery of gifts possible I urge those to
begin saving these materials now. As
time goes on they are going to become
even more scarce than they are now.”
Among the more important rules
for Christmas mailings to the armed
forces overseas are the following:
The parcel must not exceed five
pounds, and must not be more than
15 inches in length or 36 inches in
length and girth combined. It should
be marked ‘Christmas parcel’ so that
it may be given special attention to
assure its arrival before December 25.
Not more than one parcel may be
mailed in any one week to the same
member of the armed forces by or in
behalf of the same mailer.
When combination packages are
made up of such items as miscellan
eous toilet articles, hard candies.

soaps, etc., the contents should be
tightly packed so that they will not
become loosened in transit and dam-
age the contents or the cover. Hard
candies, nuts, caramels (including
those covered with chocolate), cookies,
’
’ ■ ' bars ****3.
fruit cake, and ' chocolate
individ-
ually wrapped in waxed paper should
be enclosed in inner boxes of wood,
metal, or cardboard.
Perishable goods, such as fruits and
vegetables that may spoil, are prohi
bited. Intoxicants, inflammable ma
terials such as matches or lighter
fluids, poisons, and anything that may-
damage other mail also are prohibited.
Gifts enclosed in glass should be sub
stantially packed to avoid breakage.
Sharp instruments, such as razors and
knives, must have their edges and
points protected so that they cannot
cut through the coverings and injure
postal personnel or damage other
packages.
Relatives and friends who know
that the personnel in the armed servi-
ces to whom they plan to send gifts
are at far distant points should begin
to mail their packages on the opening
day. September 15, of the mailing
period. Last year late mailings, caus
ing concentration of great numbers of
packages in the final days of the mail
ing period, threatened to defeat the
program. It is stressed that success
can be assured, with the limited per
sonnel and facilities available, only if
the public gives full cooperation
through prompt mailings of the over
seas gift parcels from the opening of
the maling period.
