"It. has become almost a plati- tude to say that the present cal- amltous war is a struggle between civilization and barbarlsm. For anyone who gives the matter ser- ious thought, however, the state- ment does not seem exaggerated. Yet the men who claim to speak and act in the name oi Germany. Italy and Russia, all clamcrouslv assert that tire , too, stand for a civilization-a ‘ ultur’ as the Ger"- mans call it-incompnrably sup- eriol" to the efiete, outlived civiliz- ation or moribund democratic peo- pl-es. whose demise they express themselves ready to accelerate, and at whose funeral they would gladly act as undertakers. “What then is civilization‘? What. at least, is this civilization for which we are fighting, and which we trope to enjoy long after its rivals will be remembered only as so many ugly, and for the nio- ment, highly alarming night- mares? Civilization "when ineii speak oi’ civilization. most of them understand by that word a set of material. intellectual and moral values, together with certain social conditions which make it possible and easy for peo- ple to live together with one an- other, and to expand and develop harmoniously. One of the essen- tial lngredienis of this concept, of civilization is the notion of ere- ditv or of patrimony. The "tiine- element" is one of its necessary factors. The things most valued are invariably the restilt of pro- longed and patient labor, the fruit of lirtelligeni and generous toll and experience, often dearly pur- chased, on the part of many gen- erations, and handed down from ancestors to posterity for safe- keeping and further development. The major" portion of our British history records this type of de- velopment. which. urrtll recent years at least, was essentially a civilization moulded by and per- nieated with the ideals and ethics 0f the Gospel of Christ "HO\\’6\"‘!‘, we must be careful not io fall into a confusion of ideas on this point. Civilization and Cliristianit are not identical. Civilization be ongs primarily to the temporal sphere, whereas the illllflillllltlltill purpose cf the Church is tilt‘ salvation of souls and their everlasting well-being. But Chris- tianity introduced a new element in the concept of civilization as it wits kll"\\’lI and existed in ancient pagan times. 'l"lie Gospel pro- claimed the law of human sol".- darity and brotherly love-a law dictated and imposed by our com- mon origin and by the equality of rational nature ivhiclr is in all men, no nitrtter what race, or blood tlanity gave us a for" adlrercnce to this law of na- ture by centering its on the death of Christ on cross, offered to His Heavenly mankind. Truth, justice. rights based on corresponding du-I ties to God and man, these were, to form the ltnpregnable cement which would hold civilization to- getlier; tirese were to be the im- pervious binding-forces of so- ciety, be it. domestic, social or in- fer-racial; these were to the enriching elements which would make the civilization of Christian- nren outlive and outshlne all that. had gone before it “Fragile Vessels” "But the church never failed to warn each succeeding generation that they were carrying this patri- mony or heritage of civilization in fragile vessels.

Again and again Christendom was warn- ed that its civilization would sure- ly totter to its collapse whenever society wiuldjravnple on the God- glven rights of the human indivi- dual; whenever socletv would re- cmnive no higher authority than its own selfish interests and would adopt a code. cf morals at variance with the eternal principles of the observance j the iRotary Club has been able Father for the redemption of all ehlldren is only one proof of the charity. ‘spirit ~_ ‘everywhere in evidence among oiu forever. but of whichjteaching-but in smite or Tito Central Guardian This column is resehved for news oi local interest. but advertising cf s cen . r - l‘ "F"! ll-lltllre flair ‘b: ‘llgserteu able o» naval-of” ' c m OBASWELL for Photographs CON FEDERATION LIFE 1N SUR- ANLI. 14-97894 -2l 41a BRIDGE rmzli NOVELTIES at lfioaers I-iardware.

The flight from rea- son and from the Gospel could only mean ultimately that society would dethrone Christ from the high altar of worship and would elevate itself. the ‘State’, or a ‘Group’ or a ‘Class’ to that place which belongs exclusively to the Almighty. When that happens, civilization wrll relapse rapidly in- to its primitive bondage, from which, in ages to come, Christian- ity again will have to rescue it. "And this ls precisely what seems to be happening in the so- called Totalltarian States of Eur- ope and Asia. Here again I would call your attention to the "time- element" in the development of these movements. Churchill des- cribed the present head of the German nation as “a monstrous product of farmer wrongs aiul shames.' We can say the same thing about the whole complexity of subversive movements that are today Illiikillg a shambles of sitch a large part of the world: they are all ‘the monstrous products of former wrongs and siiames‘: wrongs and shamcs committed. first, against the majesty of God, and, in sequence, against the ma- jesty of man as made us by reason and Christian teach- in . 8 From The Same Source "The long. systematic weaken- lflg of Christian thought in the. minds of children and youth, the scuttllng oi whole sections of Sac- red Scripture, the dastardly af- leinpts to discredit Chrlsifiinibv in the person of its clergy, the exal- tation cf ‘race, blood and soil‘ as alone worthy of loyalty and sacri- frce; all these evils emanated from the same source that. now has been guilty of the brutal invasions of innocent, peaceful nations; the flouting of solemn treaties; the de- grading of Christian peoples and their reduction to virtual slavery; and the reckless. heartless bomb- ing or women and children. These we claim are acts of barbarisni and the very antithesis of our form of civilization. These crimes occurred irr i040 but we know the begin- nings of these evils must be dot/ed by calendars of long ago. They arc the inevitable outcome of false. anti-Christian theories of life, of education, of_societ,v. of govern- ment, and of rnteriratronal relation- ships whlclr have been brewing and maturing, for the last cerr- turv or more, m the TfllildS and hearts or men. Some of these errors did not seem very alarming when they first appeared in print, ior when they Wore being i110- ' ounded as solvents of socia trotib- ‘lles by dreamy-minded professors. ‘or when they were app nuded as evidences o ‘Dwslvsi’ by i100‘!- coated scoiers at everythlrls 1'9- llgious. But it is a different story when such ideas take root in the ‘heart-s of men, for as men think. tso will they act. We KIlOW 110W. ‘surely, that erroneous principles and ttntt"tiths ultimately work out ito our common detriment, even ill temporal affairs. We should real- ize, at long last. that errors have an affinity for one another, and can act as deadly time-bombs which are more explosive and de- structive than any combination of chemicals.

Sees Greenland i$tepping stone ‘In crossing By Howard W. Blakeslee Associated Press Science Editor PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 30 —(AP) An authority on Greenland today offered a plan for an easy au- "bridge" over which fighting planes could pass back and forth bettvocn Europe and America with no vat- er hop longer than 900 miles. lflre plan involves crossing Grceiriatrd It was put forward by Dr. William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, who told the American Association for the advancement of science that he has discovered two big "holes" in the wind barriers that airmen heretofore have believ- ed impeded fllght over Greenland. One "hole." he said, could be used for east-west flights and the other for the opposite direction. Airmen using his route would first touch, or leave. the North Anteri- can continent in Labrador". Other stops would be southern Greenland. Iceland, now patrolled by Canadian troops, and the British Isles. The wind obstacle is Greenlands centrifugal storms, supposed by soi- entlsts to be the key to weather of the northern hemisphere. The storms Dr. Hobbs said, are seldom "equalled elsewhere in intensity. Above this whirl there is a strong wind rotating in the opposite dir- ection. Knowing this and by choos- ing the right attitude it is nearly always possible, Dr. Hobbs said, to make a Greenland flight wit-h a favoring tallwind. This ls especially true, he said. for eastbound planes. a fact iiritich might facilitate deliveries of Unit- ed States planes to Britain. Greenlandk coasts are fog-bound to a serious extent, he explained, but this does not extend far back and should not hamper a plane route. '1. No lndemnlties or reparations. 8. Arms limitation.

Mayor Holman Extends New' Year’s Greetings To Guardian readers. locally and throughout the Province, I take pleasure in extending greetings and best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year. The words, so familiar, have a strange connotation for us today. They seem to mock the grim real- ity of the situation confronting our Empire and all that we hold dear as free-born British citizens. How, in the circumstances, with our only immediate prospect, as Prime Minister Churchill has said. one of “toil, blood, sweat and tears,”~how can we speak except ironically; of "happiness and pros- perity”? Yet the confusion may lie in our pwn misunderstanding of these terms. Prosperity does not necessarily mean peaceful enjoy-t ment of wealth and luxury, and certainly happiness does not de- pend on material things at all. who, I wonder, spent the happier Christmas a week ago—the ire-e people of Britain. subjected daily to murderous bombing raids, or the enslaved peoples of France. Belgium, the Netherlands, and those other once-free nations now no longer at war, but crushed un- dcr the heel of Hitler? We know that in England they celebrated Christmas with undiminished faith and enthusiasm. We can surely follow their example in welcoming in the New Year, understanding. the deeper implication of the- words we employ in exchanging the traditional felicitations. In this City, Province and coun- try we are blessed beyond our de- _ our lot with that of our gallant kinsmen across the sea. This fact should stimulate us to greater endeavor \l'lillxl.lzai s’?
