Three and a half years ago Mrs. Day sent her youngest son across a restaurant to ask a young RAF. man eating dlsconsolately alone if he would care to came home VJil-‘h them to dinner and to spend the night. Since than Mrs. Day has entertained more than 600 members of the Allied forces for periods from six hour; to six months.

At the sprawling hospitable Day home in Hollywood l0 beds are kept ready for servicemen on‘ leave. “Only they mostly overflow and use the couches in the games room too," Mrs. Day added.

At first she said she picized her ‘

guests from the lonely boys in un- iform who wandered Hollywood's streets. Now they are routed to her various way; — by those who have already stayed with her, and by those who have heard or read of her work.

Mrs. Day arranges dinner parties and dances for her visitors She sees that they are taken on a tour of movie studios and tho/t they get into all the free shows.

Not so long ago a British air marshal on an inspection trip of world airfields landed at Mrs. Day's in the midst of a cheerful party of young air cadets

For the" reasons’ H m, “one faith we. individualy and collect- and

other. I have been, and shall al- ways be. a loyal supporter of the work of the British and Foreign Bible Society. These. then, are no empty words when I say that I esteem it a high honour indeed to have been invited to speak to you here tonight.

The work of the British and Foreign Bible Society is far more than inter-denominational. The Society in its work knows no de- nominations as such. I am. there- fore. very glad that, at least so far as Summerside is concerned, we have made a most successful departure from the practice of the annual canvas being in charge of church groups. The result is that, [instead of only the known inter- ested icw in each congregation being canvassed, a most thorough canvas has made of the whole town. Thé local-branch is functioning as such, and has taken charge of the work with an appreciation that here is a really worthwhile contribution to the forward march of Christianity All have worked with enthusiasm and aeal. The campaign was plan- ned as all such campaigns should be planned — with a determina- tion that none shouid be missed and that the work should be com- plated within the time set. Furth- er. you will note that in the Sum- merside report there is no list of collectors. ‘This is no oversight; for this work was undertaken with no desire that any one should have the honours. On tho contrary, rapd I believe this is healthy Christianity). the desire was not to let the left hand know what the right hand did. Our aim gigs to meet our objective, and we

I mention these things not to publicize Summerside. but to throw out the challenge to this Annual Meeting that the campaign of the B. and F. Bible society is one to which we should set ourselves with as much preparation. thor- oughness and fervour as any of the great war-time campaigns in the conduct of which we have become so very expert, Here is a campaign that must go on, year after year. until every last human soul knows. and has in his hands to read. the Word of God.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my

feet and a light upio my path.”

The Bible and Its Place i

But now. as we think of the work of the B. and F. Bible Soc- iety. we inevitably and naturally think of the Bible-of the Bible and its place not in foreign. heathen lands but in our own so-l culled Christian Canada. Is in; as the psalmlst proclaims in our! text it should be, a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path?

I am sure you will remember the incident in the life of the good’ Queen Victoria, to which I have’ made reference on a former oc-_ caslon. when replying to the in-i quiry of a distinguished guesti Her Majesty picked up a Bible andi said. "There is the secret of my, people's greatness." It was a queenly answer. Yet. my breth- ren, there is the secret. which we‘ are so much in danger of forgeu, ting in these days. Men and m- tions are searching in vain for the secret of greatness in such strange and impossible places 0h, we need to get back to the Book. and through it back to God!
