we recall the nature of the celebration on November li, 1918,
when we thought that now the
"World was safe Ifor Democracy,"
and of how that, celebration
boomeranged because it proved
to be premature and crude, giv«
us a sense of deep humiliation,
doesn't it? The thought has occurred to us that perchance it was in Oakwood cemetery,
might be ac good project for
Christians to begin preparing- for
V-Day in the same way they
prepared for D-Day, and spend We wish to express our appre-
