underway to run seven weeks to
secure from the people of this
country the sum of $14,000,000

war against Japan to a victor

There is not much doubt about
the over-subscription of the loan
but the goal for Individuals is the
highest yet set. Fortunate Amer

and at a good rate of interest.
We have no doubt about the

"LET US HAVE NO PART"
In his order of the day to the
troops under his command, on the
ocrasion of the "unconditional
surrender of German forces in
Europe, General Dwight D. Eis
enhower declared: i
"As we celebrate victory in Eu-I
rope, let us remind ourselves that
our common problems of the im
mediate and distant future can be
best solved in the same concept
ion of cooperation and devotion to
cause of human freedom as has
made this expeditionary force
such a eighty engine of rigsteous
destruction.
"Let us have no part in the
profitless quarrels in which other
men will inevitably engage as to
what country and what service
won the European war.
"Every man and every woman of
every nation here represented
have served according to his or
her ability and efforts and each
has contributed to the outcome.
This we shall remember and in
doing so, we shall be revering
each honored grave and be send
ing comfort to the loved ones of
comrades who could not live to
see this day."

Numbered la the thousands, New Yorker gathered la Times Sqeare
to Joyously celebrate German capitulation to Allies. )
V-E:
Ends in SchooUiouse
Almost six years after the German
army had struck Poland like light
ning, inflaming the world In the most
destructive war iir all history, two
men met in a little red schoolhouse
in Reims, France, to bring the Euro
pean phase of the conflict to an end.
With Germany's mighty whermacht
ripped apart; with its cities lying in
rubble, and with its railroad system
a heap of twisted and scorched
steel, Col. Gen. Gustav JodT had
come to offer his country's uncondi
tional surrender to the Allies on or
der of Fuehrer Karl Doenitz.
It was 2:41 o'clock in the morn
ing when Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell
Smith accepted the capitulation en
behalf of the Supreme Allied com
mand. Later, the surrender was
ratified by the Russians in Berlin,
with Marshal Gregory Zhukov rep
resenting the Reds at his headquar
ters in the charred German capital.
No Delusions
Having levelled western Europe
and run deep into Russia before be
ing compelled to recoil under the
weight of the combined Allied jug
gernaut, the Germans suffered no
delusions as to the severity of the
terms to be imposed.
AiCress'.ng the German people
arter Fuehrer Karl Doenits had
: rcd all the country's armed
f rees to cease firing. Foreign
E. nistor Count Ludwlg Scbwerto
von Krosigk said: "Nobody can "
be In any doubt that the future
will be difficult for each one of
us and will exact sacrifice from
U3 in every sphere of life."
Declaring that Germany sought to
mobilize all of its human, moral and
material resources to help heal the
wounds of the war, Von Krosigk Said
that by following the simple path of
justice in both domestic and foreign
affairs the country could yet dispel
the hatred against it and return to
the family of nations.
Operating on their own power,
without need of direct assistance
of each other, the end of the war
found the U. S., Britain and Rus
sia controlling the German territory
lt was originally planned for them
to occupy. In the U. S. zone alone,
400,000 American troops will be re
tained to stand wateh.
From the development of Allied
policy, it appears ' likely that mili
tary occupation of the country
will be extended to permit close
supervision during the rehabilitation
period; with control over all phases
of German life.
In addition to dismantling war fac
tories and maintaining . a watchful
eye over other heavy industry, the
Allies are expected to closely con
trol the press, radio and motion pic
tures. Because the country occupied
a key spot in the European economy,
Germany's civilian manufacturers
may be allowed to resume largo
scale production to assure the distri
bution, of finished goods in surround
ing rural areas.
Japs Next
For America, the end of hostilities
in Europe means no slackening of
the war effort, though the army
plans to cut Its total strength down
to 6,968,000 men from 8,300,000, and
civilian production la scheduled to
return to the prewar 1939 level with

Though the army "recently .an

That fact nrobably explains why
the period of the captivity of the
Jewish people Is passed over in
silence In the historical accounts
of .-the Bible. We do know that
prophets were sent to minister to
them and to keep alive their hope
of restoration to their own land. "
When the Jewish captives were
ready to return to their land, the
alienee of sacred history Is broken,
and we learn of their experiences
in rebuilding the temple and the
wall of Jerusalem from the books of
Ezra and Nehemlah. 1 -
I Many and varied were the ob
stacles, but In due time they were
sunnountedV and by God's help the
work Was accomplished. Now the
time had come for a spiritual re
vival, and God had Hia man and
His message ready for that hour.
Ezra. the scribe, - was . God's
servant to bringing the Word ot God
to the people. The elements ot suc
cess for any revival are found here
L An Open Book (8:1,2).
The Word of God is quick and
powerful and sharper than a two
edged sword (Heb. 4:12). That
mighty weapon does not need any
aooloev or defense. It needs use.
The soldier in battle unsheaths his
sword or fires bis gun. He does
not send pamphlets to his enemies
telling them what an effective weap
on he baa he uses lt and gets re
sults.
There Is a place for discussion and
Instruction regarding the authen
ticity and dependability of the Bibleyj
but If we make lt a substitute for
using the ' Word, we are on the
wrong track.
Ezra brought out the law of God
and opened lt to all the people. That
la what we need to do today. Open
up God's Word and let it do its
powerful work.
tIL An Attentive People (8:8, 4a.
. 6).
.The Word must be heard as well
as preached. Good listeners are as
Important as good preachers. The
open ear and the open heart com
plete the ministry of the open Book.
' Note the reverence of the people
(v. S). When the Book was opened,
they stood up a token of honor. We
do not warship the Bible. but we
should show- far more reverence
toward It and its message man Is
ordinarily the ease. This Is God's
Word, and man should approach It
reverently.
Note the spirit of worship In
verse 8. Be sure that-any people
coming to -God's Word ta that spirit
will receive a blessing,- We shall
see In moment how wonderfully
God met them, but first we shall
note an additional reason for the
splendid response of the people.
We have before us the open book
and i an 'attentive and reverent
people. . What more Is neededT
1IL Aa Intelligent Ministry (8:8,
12). - .:. . -
There Is nothing that any man
Can add to God's Word, but he can,
by the grace of God and the Illumi
nation of the Holy Spirit, be used In
opening up the meaning . of ' the
Word.
That ' kind of an ..exposition of
Scripture Is the - very essence of
real preaching. Topical discussions
have their value. There la a place
for book reviews and the presenta
tion ot social problems. But the pul
pit should be primarily and always
the place where God's Word Is ex
pounded. Note that the law of God was
read "distinctly" (v. 7). How Im
portant! That calls tor prepara
tion and prayer. That precludes
the casual selection ot a Scripture
passage in the lsst minute before
service. .'-..'
I Then observe that "they gave the
sense, so thst they 'understood the
reading" (v. 8). That takes more
preparation and much prayer. The
teacher or preacher needs Illumi
nation so that the truth may be
Clearly understood and presented.
Everything was now readj for:
i IT. A Spiritaal Beepenae (8:12;
:14). -''.'
i Bevtval came and what a re
vival! Tears and laughter mingled.
There was sorrow because of sin,
and giy because ef God's forgive
neaa. There was both fasting and
feasting. Gad was In their midst,
working through Hia Word as It
'was given out by His messengers.
It makes one downright hungry
to read an account like this, hungry
for a almilar manifestation In our
day ef spiritual deadness. God Is
giving this kind of revival here
and (there where people are ready
to go Hia way. The writer of these
notes has only recently been In such
revivals. Why not have them every
where in our land? Yes, la your
