In reading what Title is known of David, the Patron' saint of Wales, the preacher said he came across the statement that he belonged to a far back age which like a mist on mountain blows aside for " moment to reveal him and then closes down. But what the moment reveals is that St. David, where the cliffs of western Wales look over the sea to holy Ire-Tend, built a little church to the glory of God. And though the mists fall on him as they did on Abraham he has had his long line of successors—the altar builder of Wales, and what the culture and achievements of Wales owed to fis Abraham and its prophets and seers the world knows.
Professor Middleton Murtaş, broadcasting recently, used these words:" A terrible sense of frustration eats at the heart of Europe. In its civilization now destruction is not accidental; it is essential. Men cannot in regrate their societies except for war. If that is true, then in Europe we are seeing again the building of the cit of Cain, and it is little wonder that we are hearing again in Europe the boasting of Lamech: "Hear my voice; hearken unto my words; I will slay the man whd hurts me, ven-glance seventy times seven." It has taken humanity in general a long time to realize the futility of the city of Cain and to learn that the mere mastery of elemental forces By the natural man will not of itsd? carry us far towards a better wand.
In conclusion the preacher appealed to those present not te torget their altars and those who have built and tended them throughout the ages but to carry on in their life and eommunity the work of their forefathers, and 4s they are faithful to the task they too would share in the vision of seeing the holy city coming down to this world and through the open gates they bring the glory. and honour of Wales and nations into it.

Senator Scott Lucas, Illinois Democrat, denied passage of the bill would create a dictatorship, "This bill is our declaration that we will keep the fire of Democracy burning during the long, bomb-shaken European night," he declared, If Britain falls, the British Fleet no longer will be able to defend Canada, he said. "The Republics of North and South America will be at the mercy of despotic totalitarian powers if Britain falls, Japan will carve up the Orient, while Hitler enslaves Europe.""—United Press,
