A THANK YOU
The Avalon War Bond Committee
deeply appreciates the efforts put forth
by the volunteer workers who helped
to put over the Mighty 7th War
Bond Drive. Mr. Laurin, chairman,
states that by their untiring services,
Avalon doubled her quota.
GERMAN WEREWOLVES
Although news about the activities
of German werewolves has been scant,
there are indications that this type of
resistance to Allied occupation of the
Reich is increasing.
American army cars are now report-
ed to be equipped with blades for cut-
ting wires stretched across roads at
night by the Nazi underground. At
least one American soldier has been
reported murdered, and the bomb
which exploded a few weeks ago in a
building occupied by Allied authorities
was hardly the work of small boys.
As time goes on and the Germans
further recover from the stunning ef-
fects of defeat, Nazi underground ac-
tivities may become still more intense.
It may require FBI technique, rather
than ordinary police methods, to keep
it at a minimum. But there should be
no hesit.ancy about dealing aggres-
sively, instead of passively, with crime
in Germany. There are undoubtedly
many would-be fuehrers on the loose
who will be active in trying to make
the work of occupation forces not only
disagreeable but dangerous. The more
of these that are eliminated the fewer
aspirants there will be for the role
that Hitler once portrayed.
Keeping our troops in Germany over
a long period of time will not he easy
either for the Germans or for our
soldiers, but it is one of the problems
of victory and is one of the best means
of preventing a revival of nfilitarism.

"WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN"
This question was put to me by a
Maritime boy Sunday evening at the
USO Sing. He had his own answer,
very simple, child-like and for life's
essentials, adequate: "One who has
given his heart to Christ".
However, that's only the "acorn" and
unless it follows the acorn's course
through root and stem and leaf and
out-reaching branches to feed on sun
and rain and the night's dew, and the
whistling wind and the winter's cold--
through all seasons, th1"ough sfO~'tl~d
stress, it never attains Unless the
acorn is grounded and rooted, the germ
of life within soon withers and dies.
And dead acorns are poor food even
for squirrels. That seems to be the
inexorable law of nature and life. Li4e
is growth and growth requires nourish-
ment for body, mind and soul--the
whole being and nature of man. And
that demands God in the life, even as
the acorn demands Him in nature. I
like the way Alfred Noyes puts it:
"Blessed is he who bears within his
breast
A God, a true ideal and obeys it,
Whether through Art, or Science, or
a life
Of simple goodness. There is the
deep source
Of all good thoughts and actions, it
reflects
Light from the Infinate."
And was not that what the Psalmist
had in mind when he sang ?
"Blessed is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor sitteth in the seat of the scorn-
ful-(negative living, husks)
But his delight is in the law of the
Lord ;
And in his law doth he meditate day
and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted
by streams of water,
That bringeth forth it.s fruit in its
season,
Whose leaf also doth not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall pros-
per".
Sunday morning I hope to discuss
this theme "Being a Clhristian" with
my congregation. If you have no con-
flicting duty, nor any good excuse for
stayingaway, you might help by
coming.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
TEXT IS 'SACRAMENT'
The Golden Text in the Sunday
Lesson-Sermon on "Sacrament" in all
branches of The Mother Church, The
First C:hurch of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston, was from I Corinthians: "As
often as ye eat this bread, and drink
this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death
till he come."
The Lesson-Sermon included this se-
lection from the Psalms: "Have mercy
upon me, O God, according to thy
loving kindness: according tmto the
multitude of thy tender mercies blot
out uzy transgressions. Wash me th)r-
oughly 4tom nfine iniquity, and cleanse
me from my sin . . . Create in me a
clean heart, O God; and renew a right
spirit within men . . . O Lord, open
thou my lips; and my mouth shall
shew forth thy praise . . . The sacri-
fices of God are a broken spirit: a
broken and a contrite heart. O God,
thou wilt not despise."
In "Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy
said, "The baptism of Spirit washing
the body of all the impurities of flesh,
signifies that the pure in heart see God
and are approaching spiritual Life and
its demonstration." "Denial of the
claims of matter is a great step to-
wards the joys of Spirit, towards hu-
man freedom and the final triumph
over the body."
Wolverine fur is highly pried in
Alaska not alone because of its scar-
city, but because it will not ice up
from the breath as other furs do, and
therefore is used to line parka hoods
next to the face.
