NOT A BIT SPORTING: A member of the League of Empire Loy alist Is shown above, being asked to leave a Conservative Party Con Macmillan Looks Sad Because Of Loyalist If Prime Minister Harold Mac millan looks unhappy these days it is not because of unemployment, inflation, of next year's election prospects. Britain has never been more prosperous, nor Macmillan more popular. No, what gives the prune minis ter that harassed look is the League of Empire Loyalists, a small band of "Empire First" cranks dedicat ed to making Macmillan miserable. The marvel is that Macmillan takes the persecution as calmly as be does. For example, the prime minister y was entertaining Dag Hammars kjold at a banquet not long ago, | when a bearded loyalist sprang ? from underneath the table and be gan shouting, "Down with the United Nations!" The startled U.N. secretary general choked, but Mac millan went right on eating his soup. A few weeks later Empire Loyal ists invaded a garden party where Masmillan was speaking to Tory ladies, "Macmillan is ambassador of the dollar area," his tormentors shouted. Did the prime minister blow up? No, he waited while the ladies, brandishing their parasols, drove off the intruders: then went on with his speech. But the last straw for Macmil lan's suppl iers came in October when loyalists gatecrashed the Conservative Party's annual con ference in Blackpool and tried to drown his closing speech with blasts from a bugle. This time the hecklers got as good as they gave, a couple of them being taken out to the cloakroom and beaten up by attendants. But did this stop the league? It only made matters worse. "Fascist beasts dripping with blood," the League screamed, and currently the Conservative Party is in hot water for having used "excessive violence, amounting to brutality" in expelling the intrud ers. No one knows for certain what the League stands for, as its mem bers seldom get beyond shouting "Don't scuttle the Empire!" be fore being thrown out of meetings.

Neil Barnes and Duke Whitley. was on hand to greet the Soviet leaders when they arrived at Vic toria Station; and as Sir Anthony stretched out his hand, a loyalist voice boomed over a microphone, "Eden is shaking hands with mur der." Eden looked as though be had been stung by a Moray eel. The League's greatest triumph to date, however, was the hoax it pulled on the Archbishop of Cant erbury at the Lambeth Conference in July. None of 351 Anglican prelates as sembled from all parts of the world as guests of the Achbishop found anything unusual about the two bearded "bishops." One wore a high hat with a full length, black cassock and imitation gold chain and cross, while the other wore a round-brimmed par son's hat. Both were Empire Loy alists in theatrical costumes. ings. Its secretary, A. K. Chester ton. for example, is an ex-follower of Sir Oswald Mosley, the British Fascist, but he has managed to window-dress his national council with such respectable ancients as the Earl of Buchan, 78, and Field Marshal Lord Ironside. DO. At the appropriate moment, thy commanded silence. Then the hor rified assembly heard their idea, "The Empire Loyalists ask you to protest against the invitation to the arch-ter-orists Makarios to visit this country." The London Daily Mirror has a suggestion for dealing with the loy alists. "In the old days rural Eng land had a fine remedy for such boors," the Daily Mirror says editorally. "They were taken gently and firmly to the duck pond and thrown in." But newsmen opine that without the League British politics would be a lot duller. Do yon remembei 'way back when . . . . . .

IS) There is a story in (lie Arabian Nights about a sailor named Sin bad who lived in (he city of Bagh dad. Because of his great love (or a beautiful Princess, lie undertook a dangerous voyage into the land of the Cyclops. For her. he sailed near an island of shriekmg demons; (or her. be fought with a giant one eyed monster, and a giant two beaded bird: for her he fought a terrible dragon and dueled with a skelton His actions were proof of his love. If this Is true in the realm of storyland, how much more true, in reality in our relationship with our heavenly Father. Indeed our actions must be the proof of our love. We say we love God, but are we willing to prove our love (or Qod? We My we love Jesus, but do we keep his commandments? Like Pt'ler often say. "Lord. I'll give up my lite lor you." And Jesus looks into our hearts as be looked into the heart of Peter and says, "Will you give up your life for me? Amen. 1 say to you. this day you will deny me three times." We are about to begin another season of Lent ? a season during which we must prepare ourselves to die with Christ on Good Friday so that we will be able to rise again with him on Easter Sunday. This is the season during which we can prove our love for Christ, first of all, by keeping the Command ments, and secondly, by perform ing, everyday, some little act of mortification or self-denial. Mortification means doing some good deed that we may not like to do and doing in order to prove our love for Jesus. One example. Is turning off the television set for fifteen minutes to read the Bible; or cutting down on cigarettes, even better, giving up smoking entirely at least during this holy season. Another, is helping mother with the dishes; cutting wood without complaining. Mortification means doing some good deed that we may nut have to do, like staying away from movies, not eating between meals, giving the money we usually spend on ourselves, on our own selfish pleasure, to some worthy cause like the March of Dimes. Mortifi cation can even mean fasting or spending an hour everyday on our knees in prayer, telling God how sorry we are for our ingratitude and the Ingratitude of our ellow men. and thanking Him for His goodness. The more we love, the more we will do. We are like children sav tag the pennies our parents give lis in order to five them some Uttle gift to show them our great love for them. By our good works we do nothing but give back to God the gist that God has given to us. Of themselves, they are nothing. But God is pleased with them because they proved our love and our faith in Him. Like Sinbad the Sailor in our story, we too must fight with one eyed m ousters and two headed birds and terrible dragons. We must fight the world that is so attractive and draws us away from God: we must fight the Devil who is so clever but most of *11, We must fight our own selfishness. These are the monsters we most conquer to prove our Love for Jesus Christ. And it is by mortifi cation that we do this. LET I'S PRAY Grant us, O Lord, to begin our Christian warfare with holy fasts; that as we ate about to do battle with the spirits of evil we may be defended by the aid of self-denial. Amen. NOW!
