ST. PAUL'S
EPISCOPAL CHURCH
To t-he Members of St. Paul's
Congregation:
Peace for our country came to
an end unofficially last Sunday.
Monday afternoon the United
States was officially at war. The
United States is t'he greatest na
tion of spiritually and mentally
free people on the surface of this
planet. This is so because it is
fundamentally a nation of men
and women, the majority of
whom are basicly decent, kind,
friendly and willing to live and
let live. After all is said and
done these qualities are the
Christ-like qualities. Because of
these qualities our country will
be an inspirKMon-'and courage to
all freedom loving peoples of the
world.
But only if we keep the light
of Christian freedom burning
brightly within our individual
Souls, can we achieve this high
purpose.
This Christian freedom of the
Spirit is of inestimable value to
our naMonal defense as well as
to our national integration. .
I want to talk to you about this,
on Sunday. Thefre are a few of
you who give the church no op
portunity whatsoever to explain
the meaning of the rational, free
life. There are others who at
tend service so irregularly they
can derive but little benefit from
t-he church's teaching. But the
majority of you, thank God, have
not, in the past, been ashamed to
confess the rational, sane way of
Christ's life. Now, to all of you
? the utterly indifferent", the tep
ed, neither hot nor cold ,and to
the deeply Interested I urge you
to attend the eleven o'clock ser
vice Mils Sunday morning to hear
what I have to say.
^Sincerely your friend, ?

REPULSE JAPS
FiKl'tiiiK Now Under Way on
Northern Coast of Island of
Luzon; Navy Announces Admir
al Ki(l<l Killed in Hawaii;
Casualties to Get Temporary
Burial
Washington, Dec. 10. ? The
first strong Japanese attacks
against the west coast of Luzon
in the Philippine Islands have
been repulsed with apparent
heavy enemy losses, the War De
partment announced tonight.
In its second communique since
start of the war with Japan, the
department confirmed Manila dis
patches t'hat landings were effect
ed along the northern coast of
Luzon.
The Japanese attacks were said
to be in considerable strength
and supported by heavy naval
forces. American naval and mili
tary bases on Luzon and at Cavite
were bombed intermittently dur
ing the day, the communique slat
ed.
It revealed^that signal fires in
the form of arrows and pointed to
ward Seattle were found by Wash
ington State police last night near
Port Angeles, Wash., and were
extinguished.
The commanding general of the
Ninth Corps Area said an exten
sive search for fifth columnists is
under way.
No Further Action
The communique said no ac
tion had been reported in the
Hawaiian Islands since t'be initial
attack on Sunday. It was the first
official word to come from the
Pacific outpost Since it was bom
bed by Japanese planes.
The first success in the Pacific
was announced shortly after Pre
sident Roosevelt had messaged
China's Generalissimo Chiang
Kai-Shek that he was "wholly con
fident" of Japan's ultimate and
complete defeat.
He reiterated, however, the
warning he gave the American
people Tuesday night ? that It will
be a long, hard war.
"It will demand of all who are
entering it, as '"It has demanded
and will demand of you and your
courageous people, concentrated
effort ? and Intensive devotion to
the common cause of vanquishing
the enemy and thereafter establ
ishing a Joint peace," he said...
The communique disclosed that
far-reaching measures to augment
the defenses of the East and West
coasts were taken by the War De
partment as soon as Japan struck.
The air force, it was said, has
completed a redistribution of units
and now is in position to meet' any
threat on either coast.
Late today Chinese Ambassador
Dr. Hu Shih called on Undersecre
tary of State Summer Welles to
notify the United States officially
of China's declaration of war
against Germany, Italy and Jap
??. ' ? ? . " ; ?
In his message to the Chiang
Kai-Shek, the President again
stamped Japan as a treacherous
aggressor and predatory power.
