(Prepared by Ministerial Association) The year through which we have just gone has been a trying one for men and nations. There have been hours of great trial and tribulation that have tried the patience and hope of many souls, men and women eager to do their full part in everything that, was asked of them and ready to even lay down their life to assure that victory should come to the ideals which they have espaused as the highest of life. Altogether it was a year of shaking and sifting. Have you ever watched a farmer clean his wheat and saw the machine shaking and shaking the grains until all the chaff and dirt was cleaned away and only "info7mation clean wheat remained?

them and attack them as they are expressed in the Ten Commandments. But still they remain ever the same to exact their penalties upon those who break them and bestow their blessings upon those who keep them. It is impossible to think of any kind of society where these moral principles can be safely ignored. There is something in the mind of man that does them reverence and after every convulsion they stand out clearer and more significantly than before. As Disraeli of England said the French Revolution: "When the turbulence was over, when the waters had gone down, the sacred heights of Sinai and of Calvary were again revealed, and amidst the wreck of thrones: extinct nations and abolished laws, mankind tried by so many sorrows, purified by so much suffering, and wise with much experience, bowed again before the divine truths that Almighty God had entrusted to the keeping and broadcasting by His, people." fteighboring Deaths And Funerals (Continued From Page One.)

At Proctorville, however, 400 of the town's 950 residents were evacuated, some to Huntington. Hundreds of homes were flooded at Ashland and Catlettsburg, and water ran seven feet deep in the Catlettsburgh business district. Semi-paralysis of production spread southward, while thousands more folk in Ohio and Kentucky scurried to higher ground.

Steel mills banked fires or reduced output in Portsmouth, Ashland and Newport, as the water crept higher. Bales of tobacco were hurriedly removed from a warehouse at Maysville, Ky. Farmers in Kentucky also suffered heavily. Six hundred acres of hemp worth $75,000 were lost or seriously threatened in Henderson-co.

Old buildings must be torn down that new ones may take their is always sweeping onward and with this progress there goes the law of judgment Between the shaking dissolution of nations and human institution and the moral law there is direct, though often ignored, connection. One histoi'ian has said that the law of retribution, working in history, "makes a Bible out of history." In this work of retribution and shaking, digging the grave of what is vile-because it is vile and evil-God can use evil men and use their wrath to His praise. The invasion of the Barbarians who tore down the Roman Empire; the violence and cruelty of the French Revolution, were terrible happenings carried out with brutal disregard of human life yet what these events accomplished had its place in the progress and emancipation of mankind.

A lady writing to her father in 1808 said "It were a crime to say God is witli Napoleon, but he is manifestedly an instrument in the hands of the Almiglity to bury out of sight (he older for which He has no further use. I do not believe that Napoleon is firm and secure on what, is at present, so dazzling a throne. Only truth and justice are steadfast. He does not guide himself according to the laws of God, but according to cir- cumstance.s—thus he stains his rule with much injustice. I believe steadfastly in God, and therefore also in a moral ordering of the world.

This I do not see in the reign of violence, and so I entertain the hope that better days will succeed the present evil ones." Oliver Cro.mwell, who himself was a great shaker in the hand of God said "What arc our histories, but God manifesting himself that He hath shaken and tumbled down, and trampled under foot whatsoever he hath not planted'?" Many are in difficulty today because they do not know how to live in the type of world that man himself has it is in the remedy for all these conditions that confusion exists, One group advances religion as the cure-all. another exalts education, while still others say "Why not make a goodness and order. But even in religion as it exists in the minds of some people, there is much that is not worthy and must be shaken so that the good will stand forth from the evil. Moral principles stagcl because they be missing in the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard since i Pearl Harbor now total 20,397. The casualty list reached the new figure with the Navy's announcement last night of the names of 1.590.

The list covers casualties reported to next of kin from Dec. 1 to Dec. 15 inclusive. Thus, the latest announced total of casualties for the armed services was increased to 56.075, the Army in its last official report of Dec. 7 having announced 2,099 dead, 3,332 wounded; 30,119 missing; 112 prisoners, and 106 interned.

The Navy's new losses listed 404 dead, 631 wounded and 555 missing. non. Ind. The Red Cross began a survey of the entire flood-stricken area to determine what extra relief measures were necessary and what materials priorities were needed for rebuilding. In Washington Director James M.

Landis of the Office of Civilian Defense said OCD volunteers had met "superbly" a "real test in large-scale disaster." The plight of small Ohio communities between here and Cincinnati aroused the concern of (he Ohio state guard. Adjutant General Donald F. Pancoast sent a second company of guardsmen into Manchester to help move residents of lowlands. Colonel Sam Richmond said the situation is bad at Manchester and later it might be worse at New Richmond. The state highway department helped evacuate 150 families in New Richmond, Moscow, Point Pleasant and Chile.

I. M. Cooper of the Standard Oil Co. here, has been named as the Port Clinton chairman of the committee which will conduct the tin can salvage drive at an early date.

But Soviet dispatches pictured Adolf Hitler's invasion armie's in harried retreat across a front, abandoning vast quantities of arms and supplies, while the Red armies captured "several dozen" towns in a single phase of the titanic struggle. Good news for the United Nations came also from the North African front, where British headquarters reported vanguards of General Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's Eighth army attacked Axis motorized forces west of Wadi Bel el Chebir and drove them into retreat. The wadi, or gully, lies about 180 miles east of Tripoli. On the Tunisian front, allied warplanes struck heavy new blows against Axis supply lines and bases as both sides massed for an approaching showdown.

The Italian communique said Axis forces had reached important positions in Tunisia in a local thrust. German plane's, it said, hit some merchantmen and warships in Algerian waters. Artillery duels thundered in the hills of northern Tunisia, in the Tunis-Bizerte sector, and French headquarters reported French troops drove off an attack by Axis forces in the region east of Pichon in southern Tunisia, inflicting losses on the enemy. Another French column under Brigadier General Jacques Leclerc, advancing into southern Libya across 900 miles of desert from the Lake Chad region of Equatorial Africa, was reported to have broken up an Axis motorized force in the Fezzan region. In aerial assaults, allied planes pounded the Axis Tunisian strongholds of Sousse, Sfax and Gabes, destroyed enemy cars and trucks near the Tunisian-Libyan border, and crippled at least three enemy ships.

Allied submarines sank two more Axis supply vessels and probably sank a destroyer. J. V. SULLIVAN FREMONT, Jan. 2 V.
