The Christmas spirit applied to con- to the carrying out of His purposes.

ditions of today, nationally and inter

nationally, was the theme of an address which the Rev. George Burbanck of St. Taul's Episcopal church delivered over the Talladium wireless telephone to the army air field at Fairfield, O., Saturday morning. The address was part of a program

which the Palladium air station had!

been asked by United States army officials to give for the open house which was conducted at the air field near Dayton. "It is with the greatest pleasure that little Richmond bids its husky neigh

bor on the east 'Good Morning ", said

He needs some nation to act as guide for all the others, to demonstrate to men the possibility of the reign, of peace, and if America refuses to be God's instrument. He will raise up another nation to hold high the torch which we have thrown down. Centuries ago God was forced to use angels as the messengers of peace and good will, but today it is America that is proclaiming peace to the world. "Men's hearts are yearning for peace, the nerves of nations are stretched by suspicion and worn by jealousy. The tension will be relieved

centuries, ever since the angelic preacher delivered the message to the shepherds on Bethlehem's hills and ihe angelic choir followed with the first Christian anthem: 'Glory to God in thejiighest and earth, peace, goodwill toward men." "Christmas day and the Christmas spirit were potential long before the morning stars sang together at creation's dawn. It was the salvation of men which took shape and gained visibility in the birth of Mary's Son, and that birth was the earnest and the evidence of God's eternal love and purpose. So, the spirit of Christmas has been in the air for weeks, that is true, but what are a few weeks compared with uncounted eons, unnumbered ages? Need God Now "There never was a time when a

country needed God so much as this country needs Him now. We need some one to help us to uphold the ideals amid which America was born and for which she has consistency lived. Such ideals did not come from below, from humanity; they came from above, they came from God. "America holds these ideals in trust; they must not be tampered with or bartered' for power and prestige. In the great deliberations now in progress at Washington there will be the temptation to swerve from our highest resolutions, to trim our policies in order to hold international friendships. Even though all the nations of the world should turn their

backs upon us in scorn or array themselves against us in bloody fray, America must remain true to the conviction that it is better to hold faith with God thaji to sweep on to supremacy over broken faith. "America needs to feel that the chief conference of nations is He who is King of Kings, Lord of Lords. The Lord will be on our side so long as we remain true to the ideals which have given to us our might. God Needs This Nation "Not only does this nation need God.

but God needs this nation. God needs

prove that God's will may be done on earth as it is in heaven. There are cities in Europe which are only 40 miles from each other in different countries, just as we are this morning in different states, but they are not flashing words of good will to the dwellers within their respective walls. Messages of peace would be sheer mockery without peace in men's hearts. But, here in the land of the free and unafraid America, peace and good will reign within the boundaries of the whole nation. Let us share with the suffering continents to which the spirit of Christmas is unknown the faith which brings peace to men's souls." At the conclusion of the program

ihe Fairfield air station of the govem(ment reported to the Palladium station

that it had heard the speaking and the musical numbers distinctly and

that 300 persons who were visiting the I

field expressed their delight over the program.
