"A Day Of Humble Prayer" Tomorrow, Oct- 8, has been proclaimed by the Dominion Government “as a day of humble prayer and intercession to God". Churches of practically every denomination in Canada will participate in its observance. There is no reason why a day of national prayer should not be associated with every Thanksgiving season, both out of gratitude for manifold blessings enjoyed and as an expression of faith and confidence in the future. But on this occasion, with Canada and the Empire in- volved in what threatens to be a long and dev- astating war, \\'c have special need to recall our dependence 0n Divine Providence. It is because we have faith in the justice of our cause that we can approach the supreme Tribunal with assurance, The issue, we believe. is one in which Christianity itself is involved. Yet we, its pro- fessed champions, have reason to feel keenly our own shortcomings and deviations from Chris- tian principles. We feel the need to reconsecrate ourselves and our country to the pursuit of those ideals which have for their object the tip- lift and freedom of humanity. It is hoped that all our citizens will participate in tomorrow's rc- ligiotis obscrvatices, which have this all-impor- tant object ‘in view» i1 Hitler's Peace Terms As anticipated, Hitler's “peace offers" amount to this, that he be allowed to keep his ill-gotten gains in Poland, on the promise of being good in future. All he wants now, he says, is to “main- tain the peace of litiropc." The big bad wolves are Etigland and Iirance, whom he has tried so hard to get along with! Poland, it seems, had ruthlessly attacked poor harmless Germany, and it was in self-(lcfeitsc that the Nazi legions marched in, slaughtered the inhabitants, laid \\'arszt\v ivastc, and divided the booty and the country with the cqtially harmless hordes of Mr. Stalin. “Let us have a conference to ratify what Board that the" l5 "0 dmlg" of a 511K“ fflllllllc is ended. This is only t:ue in slight has been done. and start again front scratch. Otherwise the pence of Europe, which we have so much at lrsztrt, will continue to be (listurhcd, and wc shall again defend ourselves against intolerable aggression?’ Such a line of argument could, with equal itistice, be taken by every thug and gangster. It is quite logical witltin its own limits, but the lim- its do not cover the facts. Hitler's case history is thc best guide to his future conduct. it runs astonishingly parallel to his own recipe for domination as given in his book Zllrin Kampf, the principal inqrtnlictit of ivliich is “conquest by iustnlliiiciits." tine victim at a time! lrlcre a little, there a little, so that none of the acts of aggression "will in dctziil supply quite enough reason to resort to armed resistance." “The more such cxtortions arc suffered without re sistance. the more tmjtistifiable it comes to seem to pct-pic to mzikc any tiltimate stand against such prcsstircs; uhich nppcar to big now and isolated, f/mlu/li in fut‘! //l(‘i'f' i: ficr/ielital recur- rence of than."

Fire Prevention is Fire Prevention Week and in this connection a Dontinion pro- claiuation has been issued, recommending that at some time during the week as may be found most practicable— I. All dwellings and their surroundings be carefully inspected by their occupants and all conditions likely to cause 0r promote the spread of fires removed. 2. All public buildings, stores, warehouses and factories be inspected and cleaned of rubbish. 3. All hotels, theatres, asylums, hospitals and other institutional buildings be inspected and provision made for all changes necessary to pro- tect the occupants from danger in the event of fire. ' 4. Fire drills be held for the children in all schools, for the inmates of all institutions and for the employees in all large stores and fac- tories. 5. Special instruction on the subject of firc prevention be given by the teachers and by mun- icipal officials in the schools. 6. Boy Scout leaders give instructiuit to the troops under their control as to the best tilt-tins of co-operating with municipal firedcparttnents. 7. All legislation and regulations enacted or issued by Dominion, provincial or municipal au- thorities dealing with fire prevention be given publicity by the municipal officials and thrtt by public meetings 0r otherwise, as may to them seem most fit, they endeavour to impress upon the citizens the national importance of safe- guarding life and property from loss by fire, and particularly the safeguarding of the lives of small children from fire» The proclamation quotes authoritative statis- tics to the effect that during the past eighteen years, 771,000 fires in Canada have destroyed insurable property valued at more than $702,- 000,000 and that during the same period 7.463 persons have lost their lives and over 23.000 others have been seriously injured as a result of fire.
