BEHIND THE HEADLINES GODS OF
"The kiss of the sun for pardon; The Song of the birds for mirth: One is nearer God's heart in a
garden,
Than anywhere else on earth."
These delightful lines were recalled to my memory during the week in a letter I received
from a dear old lady in Scot- land. The beauty of the at- mosphere they so cloquently convey has a particularly sad significance these days. Thoy breathe contentment, harm- ony, peace and happiness. They conjure up memories of bygone days-but in so doing, introduce a harsh and terrible note in the inescapable con- trast which present day events instantly create. Most peo- ple's thoughts fly back to a garden somewhere, but the joyous mood which at first possesses one is rudely shat- tered by the intrusion of the fear that the garden of which we were thinking, may have been destroyed. We hope that It has been spared the dis- figuration which bombs create. And 80 our dream picture changes, and, almost uncon- sciously, we begin to visualise a scene of chaos. There is
life and love in a garden, but the cognition of the curse which is sweeping. Europe changes the mental scene to one of death and destruction. We inwardly curse the flends of hell responsible.
•
AND so, once the process of
thought has been set in motion, mental pletures follow each other. The gardens-those we love-the children and the aged-the fear, the horror and the agony which may be theirs. We feel helpless, and
THE German of to-day is in a
worse plight_than the galley slave of old, with one important distinction. The galley slave was to be pitied as a creature of che cumstance. The modern, German
is to be scorned for having allowed himself to be dominated by a mad-
man.
"The kiss of the sun for pardon!"

THAT a beautiful memory recalled
by the four lines above, should Inspire a sense of unutterable halo against any man or country, is merely the natural
reaction CX- perienced by every human play our part in
who believes in common decency, friend- liness and fustice. When on
up- start, and a one at that, sets
a crazy to impose his out
his perverted and Inhuman wiil on all men,
irres- pective of race and creed, it perhaps natural that even the beautiful things in life should serve to remind us of the hideous challenge to their existence.
yet determined to this Bendish ridding the affiction. We console purselves with the thought that those who have so wantonly violated all that decent peoples hold dear, shall be shown no mercy when the day of reckoning comes. In the mean- ume, we can and must make every sacrifice, efther pecuniary er. supreme.
Humanitarian principles which we cherish and believe in, have been swept aside at the bidding of a monomaniac who has gathered about him a band of criminals who gloat and glory in momentet
over their their
power fellow men. The
"Birds ndage, of a feather," was never more op- Cly illustrated than in the
old
example of Hitler and his satellites. They have robbed their fellow men of the last vestige of freedom, and seek to impose their foul and Inhuman doctrine on the inhabitants of the rest of the world;
I am reminded of Karet Capck's
Prayer which was published in the Prager Tageblatt when the. German Army had commenced Its domination of Czechoslovakia:---
"God Thot host created this beautiful country. Thou seest our pain and our disappointment. Thou knowest what we are feeling and how bowed our heads aro, not with shame-wo need feel no shame even if we shall be struck by the fron rod of Fate. We were not defeated. nor were we of those who showed too little resolution. Our people have lost none of their honour.
