ID THE WORLD or
BY (U.UI.RSID
As an “interlude of relaxation,
fellowship and fun in the midst
of confusion, tension and burden
bearing”, Dr. George A. Buttrick,
minister of the Madison Avenue
Presbyterian Church, New York
City, regularly invited the fam-
ilies of men in the armed services
from his church to an evening of
prayer and fellowship. On a re-
cent Monday evening, such a ser-
vice included a period of prayer
in the chapel; an entertainment
through poetry and music by “Dr.
Sunshine” (Henry W. Dubois);
and the reading of letters from
boys in service.
with our neighbors to the south,
it will mean much if we can all
have that mind in us which was
in Christ Jesus. The final binder
is a unity of personal experience,
not political theory. Only those
fractions can be added together
that have a common denomina-
tor.”
British Methodists, who place
far more dependence on laY
preaching than do their American
brothers, number many men in
leading places in public life a-
mong their “local preachers.” . . .
One of these is Councillor H. E.
Bridgwater, Lord Mayor of Shef-
field, England, who began preach-
ing at the age of eighteen, and
for more than thirty years con-
ducted a Bible class for young
men. He has a brother in the min-
istry, and remembers his grand-
father reciting the Psalms, all
of which he is said to have known
by heart.
Pastors and congregations of
the United Lutheran Church have
been advised by its Board of So-
cial Missions to adapt their parish
ministry to serve the needs of
those “suffering through econ-
omic and maladjustments, incon-
venient hours of labor, and travel
restrictions by providing such aid
as: advice and counsel regarding
personal and family problems,
special services at suitable hours,
and cottage or community prayer
meetings.” They were advised al-
so to keep contact by correspon-
dence with Lutherans moving
from their parishes, and to inform
fellow ministers of those moving.
In an appeal to the Christian
world for prayer, sympathy and
love for the people of Poland,
Bishop Radonski of Wloclawek,
Catholic episcopal leader now in
London, England, recently said
that in western Poland alone a
million souls are deprived of their
priests, two bishops are in con-
centration camps, hundreds of
priests have been killed and many
others are being tortured in pri-
sons, all Catholic schools have
been closed, Catholics have to live
and die without the sacraments,
and nuns are dispersed and ex-
posed to humiliation and starva-
tion. In other sections1 of Poland,
he adds, the healthy are sent to
labor in Germany, and the weak
“are taken to an unknown des-
tination from which they do not
return.”
Madame Sun Yat-sen, sister of
Madame Chiang Kai-shek and
widow of the founder of the Re-
public of China, has organized
sixty day nurseries in the north-
west border region of China,—the
isolated guerilla warfare region
hemmed in by the Japanese mili-
tary and always within sound of
gunfire. More than 1,000 of the
children in these nurseries are
from homes where the fathers
are guerrilla soldiers and the mo-
thers are working.
“The Christian missionary to
South America does not- talk a-
bout ‘the good neighbor policy’;
he is the good neighbor,” says Dr.
George P. Howard, Argentina-
born son of United States mis-
sionaries, and now “evangelist-at-
large” to-all South America. “He
may not have much in the way
of statistics to report to the home
church, but he has done what his
Master did. He has lived close to
the common people ... As we
begin to mingle more closely a-
long the Pan-American highway
“Father, I pray that they may
all be one”, is the theme of pray-
ers to be made by church women
across the world on Friday,
March 12—the World Day of
Prayer. Miss Sue Weddell, of the
Foreign Missions Conference of
North America, one of the leaders
in the promotion of this day,
says, “In a world torn asunder,
one tie still holds: the bonds
which bind the followers of Jesus
Christ to one another and to
their Lord. Never was it more
necessary both to experience and
to assert the fact that we are all
one in Jesus Christ. Many ordin-
ary forms of communication to-
day are absent or uncertain, but
in prayer Christians of all lands
can and do still come together.”

Two slightly inebirated sold-
iers got on a bus and happened
to stand next to a Naval officer.
One of them tried to pay the off-
icer his fare. “You’ve made a
mistake, soldier. I am not the con-
ductor. I am a Naval officer.”
“Holy Smoke!” exclaimed the
soldier to his buddy, “let’s get
off we are on a battleship!”

How To Use War
Ration Book Two
Shoppers, beginning March 1,
will be buying some two hundred
food under a system of point ra-
tioning similar to that now used
by Great Britain. The foods in-
clude commercially processed
canned or bottled fruits, vege-
tables, soups, and juices; dried,
dehydrated fruits; frozen fruits
and vegetables; and a variety of
brands, grades and sizes.
War Ration Book 2, the point
rationing book, will contain 96
blue stamps to be used in buying
the rationed foods. An equal
number of red stamps in the book
will be used later for buying oth-
er rationed commodities, probably
meats. Each stamp has a letter
from A to Z, the only ommissions
being I and O, by which the ra-
tioning period during which it is
to be used will be indicated. Each
stamp has a number showing
point value, 8, 5, 2 and 1.
When the shopper takes the ra-
tion book to the grocery store
for buying processed foods, he
will find it wise to use eight-point
and five-point stamps when pos-
sible and save the low point
stamps to make up odd amounts.
The grocer will not be allowed to
make “change” in point stamps
at any time. When paying for ra-
tioned foods, either in the store
or for home deliveries, the shop-
per will be required to remove
point stamps from his ration book
while the grocer or delivery man
watches. Loose stamps cannot be
accepted in payment for rationed
goods.
The stamps may be used from
all books in the family group by
the person who does the food-pur-
chasing for the family group.
Some householders may budget
points on a weekly basis, by di-
viding the total family points for
each period by the number of
weeks. Money can be borrowed
when bad management causes a
mis-balanced budget, but points
cannot be borrowed. However, ra-
tioned products can be exchanged,
loaned, or borrowed without us-
ing point stamps, provided the ex-
changed articles have equal point
value.
Fresh fruits and vegetables as
a part of the diet help in “stret-
ching” ration points. Some fresh
vegetables can be cooked almost
as quickly as a can of food can
be opened and heated. Fresh
grapefruit, oranges, and apples
can easily replace canned fruits
and fruit juices. Victory gardens
solve many problems. Above all,
waste of food is point-rationing’s
worst enemy.
Foods are going to our fighting
men, as well as our allies. They
come first. Civilians will have fair
shares of the foods left in this
country under point rationing.

INSTRUCTIONS.—To find the Point Value of an items
1. Find out the net weight of the contents (from the label, If any).
2. In the line across the top of the chart, showing the weight in ounces
and pounds, find the column in which this weight belongs.
3. Find the item in the listing of items in the column to the left.
4. The POINT VALUE of the item appears on the same line as the item
and in the column listing the correct weight.
All Point Values must be determined by weights. If no weight is marked
on the item, the item must be weighed.

fluid ounces, consider the fluid ounce to be the same as the aooirdapois

ing 4 pounds 9 ounces would be considered as weighing 4 poun 'a
12 ounces for the purpose of getting the Point Value of the item.
