DARKNESS AND LIGHT
SPLENDOUR OF BRITISH RESISTANCE. “Why was it that in land after land the terrific onslaught of barbarism was given such strange power to do its will? Why was it that France capitulated in such an incredible way?" asked Dr. Lynn Harold Hough. Dean of Drew University. United Stales, in an address in New York. “There is just one answer: France had already lost its cause: and in a very large measure Europe had already lost its soul. The light had gone out of the eye of Europe. The glory had gone out of the heart of Europe. And men had no might of inner serenity and overwhelming spiritual strength to hurl against the darkest barbarism which has ever unfolded itself in the life of the world. Then, just as our hopes were sinking to the lowest level, there came that incredible splendour of British resistance, that day by day. week by week, month by month glory which is writing the most splendid chapter of all Britain’s history since the Norman Conquest. And you and I have looked upon that not only with the light of a great admiration in our eyes but with the solemn sense that it is the front line ol our own battle which is being fought."
