To the girls at Scarboro "challenged the girls in a changing omnipotent God." "We have a method for making at success of life even amidst the most difficult stated E. Melville Aitken at Central United Church Sunday morning.

"We must analyze our past experiences, our victories and defeats if we are to cope with the threat that now confronts us," he said. "The Paul came through successfully, even after he thought all was lost and everything that he had hoped and prayed for would crash about his head. His theory was to view things not as one sees them but as they should be." CANNOT STOP DOWNFALL The minister. people are changing their form of worshipping God. This was seen by the numbers who are following the "isms," which are a change from democracy to dictatorship, he said.

Change can be of value only it linked up with something ent, he said. As an example, the Golden Rule has been cast out by Japan and Germany, and every effort they make cannot stop their ultimate downfall. "Remember that God is permanent and only by keeping faith in that permanence can we remain steady in this whirlwind of destruc- tion," he concluded. ST. GEORGE'S DAY The age-old struggle, of good against evil, personified by St.

George and the dragon, which again has broken out in the form of another European war, was the theme of the sermon given by 'Archdeacon C. Swanson at a special St. George's day service at St. Stephen's church, Sunday morning. Attending the services were Brig.

It happened that way when the recent floods drove many Drumheller and district families from their homes. Following a survey by T. H. McGarry, president of the local Red Cross branch, it was found that food and bedding for flooded-out families would call for considerable cash expenditure.

From Alberta Red Cross division headquarters, twenty mattresses have been. forwarded and the local Drumheller branch has been authorized to meet all food needs. Only those flood victims who are recipients of unemployment relief are being looked after by the provincial government. The Red Cross is caring for all others. One good -hearted Drumheller housewife has been caring for no less than 16 flood victims and the Red 1 Cross has come to her aid with food supplies.

Buy Army Horses Here on May 15 At present. working in Eastern Canada, the commission in charge of horse buying for the French government will be in the West on May 15, it was learned today in official circles. Apart from the date of arrival, there was nothing to amplify the purchasing report which to date has been merely a matter of conjecture as to the number to be picked up. The general understanding is, however, that between 4,000 and 6,000 head will be bought in this country, the bulk of them west of Winnipeg. Cavalry horses and light draft animals, the latter for use in the muddy, wooded sections of the war zone, are being sought.

"Denmark" will be the subject discusssed by E. T.

CBC. Time, Black Man Is Problem Hinders Africa In War Effort Strong Pro Bloc Also Factor in Union's Defence Program South Africa's large native population and strong pro-Nazi elements in former German South West bore heavily on the extent South Africa could Africa, participate actively in the European war, according to David de Waal Meyer, accredited representative of the Union in Canada. Mr. Meyer came to Calgary last night in course of a trip across Canada. Following two speaking engagements here today, he expected to leave for Edmonton tonight to pay his respects at government offices.

"I am frequently asked why South Africa is not participating in air training scheme," he told the Herald in an interview this morning. HAS OWN AIR SCHEME "First I would like to point out that the Union is actually developing an air scheme of its own. English fliers Are to be trained in South Africa as well as here. "There are two factors bearing on the South African situation, however, which do not affect this country. "First, we have only 2,000,000 whites in South Africa as against 7,000,000 natives.

Although the natives are very friendly and many tribes have assured us that they stand behind the Empire in this war, still, we feel, as a small white community, that we cannot send -2400 he he me "You never know to what extent underground propaganda may reach toward its goal." STRONG NAZI ELEMENT The second factor, Mr. Meyer said, was the Nazi element in South West Africa, formerly a German colony, now under Union mandate. The old German colony still a population of 9,000 Germans and 6,000 of these are Nazis, unnaturalized. Therefore it was important that the Union of South Africa proceed cautiously and not weaken the local situation too much. Strategie and geographic circumstances rendered active aid to the Old Country difficult.

Again, there was a section of South African opinion which demanded neutrality. This was a minority, however, and the government was pledged to back the Allies. South Africa would defend all British possessions in Africa including Tanganyka, Nysaland and Kenya. BOERS NOT PRO-NAZI "I cannot imagine how any South African can be pro-Nazi," Mr. Meyer said.

"Nazism is the negation of individualism and stands for suppression of freedom. South Africans are among the most individualistic people in the world. The Boers have fought for independence from the earliest times when they first came into contact with other races. No, the Boers are not prothese an Evers separation from the Empire and establishment of a republic, were opposed to Naziism. There was no Oldest in Calendar Holiday Of The Passover Will Start This Evening The Jews of Calgary will the House of Israel and the Rabbi D.

Barenholtz. Tonight Jews the world over will' receive new hope, will gain courage and strength as they recite the Seder service in their homes, which will usher in the holiday of attend the Passover services in House of Jacob, conducted by "And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud. to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light; to go by day and night." Exodus 21: 13. Starting this evening, members of the Jewish faith all over the world will celebrate for eight days the deliverance of the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt by Moses. the Passover.

OLDEST IN CALENDAR The Passover, which is the oldest holiday in the Jewish calendar, originated as a spring festival and later devolmped into a. religious service the days of the Tempio and has retained that significance to this day, The Passover is observed for eight days by orthodox and conservative Jews, due to former uncertainties in the calendar calculations. Reform Jews celebrated the holiday for seven days. Synagogue services are held on the first and seventh days of Passover, which are observed as holidays. Orthodox and conservative Jews have synagogue services on the second and eighth days also.

DIET UNCHANGED During the eight days the diet is completely changed. One of the most outstanding changes is the eating of unleavened bread. Ac- Fifty Local Men Join Air Force feeling of oppression from the British and anti-British sentiment in South Africa was almost negligible. "Before the war the feeling was excellent between the two sections of the population," Mr. Myer remarked.

"Many of the English seriously began to learn Afrikaans and this was very much appreciat- ed." BUYING MORE IN CANADA With a number of European markets closed now, South Africa was likely to increase its purchases, from Canada, the visitor stated. Last year the Union bought 000,000 worth of goods from Canada while Canada bought 000 worth from South Africa. The Union was turning to Canada for a great deal of military equipment in addition to supplies of paper, lumber, implements and rubber tires. Last year South Africa bought $4,000,000 worth of Canadian cars and $1,800,000 worth of silk stockings. Only South African articles bought by Alberta were wines and brandies, Mr.

Meyer said. Canada was buying half of the brandy exported. Maize, wool, manganese, chrome ore and eau de cologne were other products imported into Canada. Mr. Meyer said that the Earl of Athlone, newly appointed Governor-General of Canada.

was the governor -general to South Africa to speak Afrikaans. He and his wife were among the most popular of vice-regal couples the Union had known. Nearly 50 young men have left Calgary and district within the past few days to take their places in various parts of Canada in the Empire air training scheme, it was stated, at the R.C.A.F. local this recruiting morning. ofThe airmen were assigned to various categories of air service and went to training centres as widely separated as Vancouver and Toronto.

It is understood that the men sent formerly had applied for active service with the Air Force. It is anticipated that additional men will be called up from time to time as the air training scheme expands. Capetown (CP), Cape growers had planned sending 100,000 boxes of grapes to England each week, but wartime irregularities so upset the schedule no grapes arrived one week, and 240,000 boxes came the next.

E. D. Ashford world, to get a vision of the was starved for equipment, instead of taking advice offered and preparing for this eventuality. "The point is," he said, "St. George fought and slew a dragon he didn't try to dissuade it from rampaging and pillaging the homes of peaceful people.

He did the only thing possible, he slew it." The minister viewed Germany as the dragon, looking upon the world with greedy eyes, and filling the ether waves with lies and corruption. The German nation for the third time in 70 years is trying to blast its way to world supremacy. Hitler is but a. symbol.of nation that develops that kind of leadership, he said. "How can this monster be dealt with he asked.

"Not by discussion, for discussion embodies truth, the willingness to compromise and broad-mindedness, something impossible in the Germany of today." Quoting Sir Archibald as saying "The Nazi government recognizes nothing but force," the Archdeacon pointed out that whenever the Allies showed signs of resistance, the Nazis stopped their fishing boat raids and took harmless neutrals as objects of their "force." He reviewed the traditions of forces stating the safety of the Empire and the whole world depends upon the navy. But for the navy, troop ships and supplies could not have reached the Allies, and moreover, he went on, for the 100 years the navy dominated the seas, no smaller nation ever felt the threat of its power. NAVY SWEPT SEAS Then, as today, the navy has virtually swept the seas of the German swastika. The tank corps has evolved from the days of pikes and muzzle They are the spear of attack, taking the brunt of the enemy's fire. The air arm is small at present, he said, but with conclusion of the Empire training scheme, thousands of Canadian-trained pilots will be keeping back the enemy as the "Fighting Tenth did in 1916." Earnestness and conviction in the church are essential if we are to build a lasting peace out of the chaos we are in now, stated Rev.

Stuart Parker at Grace Presbyterian Church, Sunday evening. Rev. Mr. Parker, moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Canada, said this is the war that the prophets spoke of as "the beginning of the end," unless the people build up their moral standards. MUST BUILD UP CHURCH "We are in danger of driving away from the little fighting body that started the Christian moveFor yeary the church has been filled with so many people who attend church as one would a club, not a place of worship," the moderator declared.
