Christian Science "God" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in nil Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, January 5. The Golden Text was, "Praise waitelh for thee. O God, in Sion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed. O thou that hearcsl prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come" (Ps. 65:1, 2). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson Sermon was tho following from the Bible: "Blessed Is the nation whose God is the Lord; nnd the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance" (Ps. 33:12). 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 Hukcr Eddy: "Father-Mother is the name for Deity, which indicates His ten- der relationship to His spiritual creation. As the apostle express- cd it in words which he quoted with approbation from n classic poet: 'For wo are also His off spring'." (pg, 332). "Knuto Hockno" la coming. ASSOCIATION OF FALLS Loan.

By WILLIAM M'CAFFIN NEW YORK, Jan. 6 MP) One of the French stenographers in our office in Paris got so panicky when war was declared that she tossed up her Job and bolted for the country. George Angus, veteran teleg rapher in our London office, got blown clean across the roof by concussion from a nearby land mine a few nights before I left town. Unhurt, he picked himself up and came back down to work as though nothing had happened. There, in the contrast be tween Latin emotion and Brit ish phlegm lies part of the story of the French defeat. In fairness to the French, it should be emphasized that their morale was pretty good throughout the entire "phony war" period. I know, because I watched it. French Deserter The stenographer's reaction, however, was typical of how they all blew up when the Ger mans pierced the extension of the Maginot line that vaunted defense works they had been taught was "impregnable." One of the first indications I had that military morale was cracking was that May day 1 when a grimy, roadstained sol idier slipped in the back door of I my apartment and asked for j Yvonne, the maid. It was Al , bert, her husband, real ! He had deserted alonff with some 6000 other tank corps I men and fled to Paris after a ! disastrous encounter with the ! Germans at Namur, Belgium, j "They told us the Belgian , were up there holding the line." , he said. "When we got there there was no one but Germans.' British Profit As the Germans pressed re lentlessy on, the panic spread to the civilian populations. Even Josettc. who kept the little bis ! tro below the office, managed to find a seat in one of the long string of mattress-topped car: that clogged the southbound highways so that they were often unusable for swift mili tary transport. It was not the fault of the French morale. They had been led by their press and politi cians to believe they were sit ting pretty behind the tough Maginot line. When the break came, bewilderment and frus-1 tration were the natural onsc- i quences. The British have profited from this French mistake. Brit ish newspapers and politicians constantly take the opposite tack, warning against overcon- How To Relieve Bronchitis j Creomulsion relieves promptly be- cause It goes right to the seat of the trouble to hem loosen and exoel germ laden phlegm, and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, in flamed bronchial mucous mem branes.

The high command has issued rigid or ders which it is prepared to carry out ruthlessly forcing everyone to stay put wherever he may be. Many of the French were machine-gunned and bombed on the roads. The British under stand they will not only be helping their soldiers but they actually will be safer staying in their homes if the emergency arises. In further keeping with this idea, the British have refused to declare any of their cities "open" cities as the French did. In other words, they will not surrender any one of them without a fight. Churchill said London will be defended "street by street" and the British say that goes for every town. In many respects the German blitzkrieg has proved a boom erang. Drawing on their ob servations in France, British of ficers have taught their people that the thing most to be feared from a dive bomber is fear it self rather than death. Dive bombers caused surpris ingly small civilian casualties in France. To a certain extent that goes for ordinary bombing. Englishmen have learned how to restrain their fears and stand up to night after night of aerial punishment.

Parachutists themselves, how ever, were not so great a mere ace in Franco as tho fear they provoked among tho population. I remember one day when the Paris police were flooded with "warnings" that parachutists were descending on tho city. One woman swore she could a a man's legs dangling in frort of her window. One man ran to his window and emptied his revolver into space. A weather balloon had broken and flouted across town. One of the greatest advan tages the British have over the French Is the superiority com plex brc ' into them f'nm school days on. It's a bore in peace time but it has proved a morale sustainer in war. This, I believe, is one of the big reasons for the terrific Brit ish morale. "There's always been an England therefore there'll always be one," they say. The other reason is the way they have managed to readjust their lives to blitz conditions. It helps them 'nke the bombs with a smile. (Tomorrow: How Is labor far ing in war-fraught Britain? FLAMES FAIL TO INTERRUPT MASS PORTLAND, Jan.
