What Is The Air Defense
Filter Center?
Tile Air Defense Filter Center is
a vital put t of our air defense pro

relayed to the Air Force for neces

from volunteer (.1 round Observers
who spot aircraft of all types and
by means of telephone, report the
activity to the local Filter Center.

|liighly scientific, static type of de
i sense and still not have any guar
antee of HD per cent destruction of
attacking bombers. The funda
i mental flaw, however, is that such
a defensive system would he so
I elaborate that it could not be op
erated beyond the communications
network of the United States-Ca
nadiaii telephone and telegraph
systems. It would therefore he ef
fective only on a relatively close
in basis.
What Part Can The Average
Citizen Play
As you can readily see, if all the
military appropriations were spent
on an elaborate air defense system,
our retaliatory power.'would slow
ly diminish to nothing. Therefore,
to reduce the effectiveness of an
i henry surprise air attack on the
| United States of America We must
ask the citizens to participate in
tile task of defense.
An effective plan lias been de
jveloped to a high degree for satis- .
factory warning. There is only one
snag or failure in the system. The]
citizens have not been educated to
the point Where they believe in the
system.
The Filter Center is a unit of air
defense, organized by the civilians,
operated by the civilians, for the
civilians.

tion concerning your Vital role in
air defense.

“Christ i . . the wisdom of God”

Our age is one that is eager to

loving age. It has witnessed one

What a wonderful miracle is con-, |
tained in every ray of light, every |<
drop of dew, every pebble of the | ]
brook, every Made of grass; whut i
an example of order and law is re
vealed in every natural process— ■
the motion of earth, and sun, and •
stars, the changing of seasons, the ,
springing, growth, blossoming and i
fruit-bearing of flower, and shrub,
and tree!
These are works of God, laws of
God, daily miracles of God. In all
of them wisdom is seen; divine wis
dom; wisdom as profound as it is
perfect; wisdom we do well to
study. But all these are but parts,
mere fragments of the wisdom of
God. Only in His Son—in Christ
I Jesus, the incarnate Word—is the
mighty whole contained. He, and
He only, is THE wisdom of God.
This does not merely mean that
tie is wise—infinitely wise; hut
that all that is in God, all that can
come forth out of God, is contain
ed in Him. Christ not only trans
cends all other knowledge, hut in

necting with Christ. Salvation —I
pardon—life, but not wisdom. Yet*
it is wisdom that God so especial- ■
ly associates with Christ. “He, of
God, is made unto us wisdom.” “In (
| Him are hid all the treasures of
wisdom and knowledge.”
The wisdom that is wrapped up
with the Person of Christ is re
vealed in two ways—in His knowl
edge of men, and in His revealing
of God. He knows men, and what
is in them; He understands the
hidden desires of our hearts, our
trials, tribulations, frustrations and
fears, weaknesses, sickness and sor
row. He understands, and sympa
thizes, and gives grace to hear each
burden. He understands because
He is a man, and knew these same
human experiences while hete on
earth. He empowers us to rise
above them and live victoriously be
cause He is God—all mighty, nil
powerful God.
but we mean more than tins
when we say that Christ is the
wisdom of God. We mean that He

acter of Christ, We know nothing
ot God save what wp. kaow of
Christ, for He is God’s revelation
of Himself. He not only possesses
the wisdom of God—He .IS, the wis
dom of God—and all wisdom, or
knowledge, that we have of God,
or from God, must come from Him.
