FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1943 ' ONE DAY AT A TIME: As thv days, so shall thy strength be. Deut. 33:29. Stalin missing is like trying to stage Hamlet without the Dane. The explanation has been offered that Stalin could not join in the Casablanca plans for a world-wide offensive since Russia is not at war with Japan. But the day will come when Russia can dare to take the offensive against Japan. Already it is in a far better position than at any time since Pearl Harbor. Moscow possibly will want some assurance of American forces and supplies in Si beria before taking that step, but with Burma still blocking any hope of a major offensive through China, a Siberian base for hitting Japan would be most attractive. The notes of Mr. Churchill and Mr. Roosevelt delivered to Stalin with some urgency after the close of the conference have not been explained. Were they merely reporting results? Or were they opening new and more exigent efforts to bring about closer collaboration ? Sooner or later the President and the Prime Minister will need to talk with the Russian leader and bring him more directly into their nlans and find a way into his plans. If Stalin does not come to them it may be wise for them to go to him. Christian Science Monitor. For Longer Term The Perquimans Wtekiy is glad to note that a bill i.s now pending in the General Assembly, which it' pass ed, will lengthen the term of office for the Mayor and Town Cmoniission ers to four years. It i.s our belief this bill should pass, and we have no doubt it will pass the Assembly, but it should also be received by the people of the Town who must approve of it at the next election. It is our belief that if the govern ing body for the Town can take office knowing it will be unhampered1 with thought of another election within two years, it can organize and ren der better management during a four year period. Improvements and fiscal policies can be planned and placed in opera tion better if the officers know their tenure of office will last long enough for them to completely carry out such policies. N'ot only can plans be drafted for a longer period, the doing away with an election every two years will .save the Town a nice bit of money, used in conducting the election. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON JESTS AFFIRMS II I S DEITY. International Stmilr... School Lesson for February 7. lit I.'!. GOLDEN TEXT: "He that ! Imlh seen i.c hath sren the Father." John 14:9. Lesson Text: John 8:12, LWISti, 56-59. 18,000,000 Victory Gardens In 1943 The suggestion is made that all families, with available land area, plan a-, victory gardes .and the De partment of Agrictflttire' says that two-thirds of the 18,0(O,(H)( gardens desired should be on city, town or suburban lots. Everybody, including those on the farms, are urged to produce and pre serve as much as possible of their food needs. This i.s good advice, un der present circumstances for non farm folks aml in any year, for those who live on our farms. The city garden plot, .says 11. VV. Hochbaum, of the department's committee on victory gardens, should be not less than 30 by 50, or 50 by 100 feet. "An average of one hour a day," he adds, "will do wonders in the way of supplying vegetables, both fresh and preserved, for the family." We will have to take the authority of tile Department of Agriculture's expert on what "one hour a day" will accomplish in the way of produc ing vegetables but we know it will do much for the health of the head of the family. Even if the crop is not so bountiful as expected and the cost of the vegetables produced somewhat excessive the dividends, in the way of health, will make a gar den plot worth while. While the exact setting of this lesson is not actually known, it is probable that this discourse of Jesus tool; place on Hie last dav of the Feast of the Tabernacles, set apart , to coinmenimorato the blessings of God to the people of Israel dining the' Wilderness wanderings. ! The two greatest blessings most vivid in the minds of the Jews were the giing of water and the guidance i i I irote. ; ion furnished by the Pillar of Fire. For sever days of the cele bration, water was carried from the Pool of Si loam to the temple but, on the eighth day, no water was car ried, symbolizing the close of the V. ihlerness wanderings and the en 'ance into a land where water was abundant. It was on thi.s occasion that Jesus -tood up and cried, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink."--John 7:37, thus calling at tention to the fact that all of the promises and blessings of God were fulfilled in him, who was the watet I of life. j Another part of, the ceremonial; was the lighting of the golden cande labra in the Court of the Women on the first flay of the feast, giving the; signal for the lighting of candles in the booths, ar "tabernacles" in which the people were staying during the observance of the feast. For seven days the candles burn ed, but 0,1 -he eighth day they were not lighted, signifying that the Pil lar of Fire was not needed longer to provide light and guidance. Jesus applied this second symbol to him self, also, when he declared, while speaking in the Temple, "I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." It is interesting and thought-provoking to call attention to the fact that Jesus uses common, everyday biiojects to oring nome to his hearers ins most proiound teactungs. What could be more interesting to his au dience tftan his reierences to water, to Dread, to light, to the sowing of seed, to tne catcning of fish, to the birds of tne air, tne grass of the lields and so on. Jesus was the Mas ter teacher and it might be well for more of our teachers and preachers to follow his example when attempt ing to lead men to a knowledge of and acceptancce of Him. Just what did Jesus infer when he declared he was "the light of the world"? Just as the Pillar of Fire was gives to the wandering Children of Israel to guide them during the darkness, so did God give Jesus, and he who follows him shall no longer stumble in dangerous darkness, but shall have the "light of life" to guide him. There is another respect in which men walk in darkness they are in the darkness of ignorance of the highest and best things in life and are unaware of the true values of life. All those who do not know Jesus and live lives of sin are said to walk in darkness. This darkness is even more dangerous than the mere darkness of night, for those who walk therein are not only in danger of physical harm but face the greater danger of losing their souls. When Jesus says, "I am the light of the world," he conpares himself to the sun the one source of light and heat and beauty, without which all creatures that live would perish in 'lirknes.' and death. Wherever light is, life is possible. What the sun is to our world. Christ is to the human race. To follow Christ is to be saved from wandering. from stumbling, from taking the Along path, from losing our way. I'nm missing God. from defeat and fear, and the dark ness of everlasting death. Just as the sun is the greatest of all disinfectants, killing the microbes of disease and destroying germs, so if Christ's light fill-' us and floods our lives with his sunshine, it will destroy the germs of sin and remove from our lives habits which tend to wreck our bodies. her sisters.

Perry recer.iy United Casablanca And Moscow The public instinctively looks for something more to come out of Casablanca. Military results doubtless of great importance could not be disclosed. Did Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill origin ally expect to have some big political success to offer? Was it held up? Will it still come out? It seems unlikely that the Presi- dent and the Prime Minister antici pated a complete clearing up of dis sensions among the French. The' other and most obvious political goal I would be closer co-ordination with Russia. The lack of some statement on a United Nations Council or at least of a Big Four war council was most widely noticed by the public. The Churchill-Roosevelt statement about inviting Stalin to meet with them and their efforts to keep him informed does not satisfy. The fact is that Russia looms larger and larger in the picture of the war and the peace. British American leaders would be especially aware of this if they plan a spring: offensive in the Balkans. The Red Army's offensive is not slacking off, but gaining in speed and power on several sectors. It has amounted ta much more than London and Wash ington expected on the basis of last winter's experience. There is no more important factor in the "global Offensive" on which so much empha sis was plaeed at Casablanca.
