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. c: EDITORIAL NUIIIS - New Session of Parliament opens tomorrow. ti‘ Y!

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. To the Jerv, dlsbelievlng in the Resurrection, this first day of the week means not-lnng, neither com- pletion of work nor deliverance. They could not commemorate the Resurrection day or enter into His rest, because of unbelief tHeb. 3. 18- 19); and the writer in Hebrews 4 5-16 speake of Christ's reference to the sabbath Day and it is expressly stated in the ninth verse that there remainetlt a rest rMargln-a keep- ing of a sabbath) to the people of God, but thry to whom the gospel was first pr-circhrrl could not enter into rest who keeping of fr» be- cause of unbciier‘ Hob. 4, 6) To the believer. however, this sabbath be- came not. only a day of rest hern but also a type of the eternal rest into which he shall hereafter enter. One day in seven is devoted here to communion and fellowship with- out secular interference, but in the future life this fellowship will be continuous an eternal sabbath, a. rest We are to seek to enter into while ltcre (Heb. 4, 11 and 16) and for which the Sabbath Day ls speci- ally set apart.
