SALVATION BY WORK
Sir-Our Prime Minister spoke the truth when he said over the air some time ago that wealth and gold did not give Hitler the. power and tremendous fighting strength that he has to-day. It was work that did it. But work alone won't win the war any more than money will without working, or praying to God and not working. But Hitler overlooked the fact that work and brutality combined are hell upon earth, and it’s his brutality that will bring about his and his allies’ defeat. England did not set to work until quite recently, a great mistake on her part, but even though England loafed, thank God her thoughts were those of kindness. As Mr. Winston Churchill or one of his colleagues said, we must work like blazes. Sir, we should have worked like blazes over four years ago and not relied on God‘,to do everything. Now God bless our King, the Empire and our Allies, and especially all workers.
