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.

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.

of Sir Oswald Mosley, the British
Fascist, but he has managed to
window-dress his national council

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.

Words of Life
Mr REV. DON KAFLE
Andrews CaUnUe Chapel
"U you love Mr. keep My com
nuuMtmeaU." I Jo. 14. 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.
