I?? ^ -1W Now is the time to hold fast to our faith: Faith in liberty, faith in democracy, and above all faith in God. The age is calling for greaft sacrifice. It also calls for great faith. And faith is something that has never yet; been defeated, in all the long and ' somewhat sorry .-history of mankind.. " r On the March . ! ' President Roosevelt and former President Hoover have spoken the sentiment of the American people intheir blunt^afement of fact concernmg^the'Russian aggression upon un happy Finland. < ' ' With the exception of a few the j followers of Stalin in this country, j who arefeither in the pay of the Russian Reds or are misguided souls. Americans are well-nigh unanimous j t in their horror at what is happening to the valiant littlerepublic up near the Artie. ? The signs of the times are unmistakable, and they are omnious. 1 "Civilization has struck a new low"; and brute force as opposed to the rights of mankind is on the marchi" Coming in as a scavinger in Poland, after Hitler's unprovoked and ruthless attack, the Russian Bear grabbed tbe lion's share of the spoilt and another chapter of "glory" was added to the Red Army, j Now the great bear of the North, prompted by the cunning, Oriental mind of Stalin, has pushed into Finland, with the only excuse for ruthless slaughter bing to add new territory to the Union of Soviet Republics. A shudder of fear and anger has cast itself into the hearts of all the fine, peace-loving, liberty-loving, \ God-fearing people of Scandinavia. Indeed the action of Japan in China, Germany in Austria, Slavokia and Poland, and of Russia in Finland, thas proyed beyond a doubt that we have entered upon ah ereh oi ruthlessness, and conquest, in which the 1 law of the jungle, that might make i iiSS w [? iJh < .
