Though facing appirently hopeless odds, the Greek people like their forbears at Thermopylae, are again enlisted in a battle for freedom. For the fate of Britain is tied to the ability of the Greek Army to hold the Fascists in check a few weeks longer. If Britain emerges a final victor over the axis, her victory will strike the shackles from the enslaved nations of the Continent. The outcome in Greece may determine, therefore, the future of Europe. We do not believe that it is wise for ohurches to engage in partisan politics, one of our reasons being that it tends to create confusion and bitterness and is likely to lead to division in the ranks of the faithful. Once upon a time when local leaders were not, as now, of one mind politically, a president of a stake asked the late Pres. F. M. Lyman how it was that the "Brethren" were so divided on politics. Pres. Lyman replied "Brother , there is no inspiration in politics."

Yet if our schools were what they really should be, they would have developed a better order of things instead of training students to merely fit in with our obsolete anraywnlc system.

The money lords and financial interests, the larger taxpayers, who am interested in maintaining the status quo (things as they am), do not look kindly toward a change that would affect adversely their monetary interests (which any change toward the benefit of the would do).
