DANGERS UNDERESTIMATED.
Addressing the . General Assembly of the Cliiirch of Scotland in Edinburgh the Lord High Commissioner, Sir lan Colquhoun said the black shadow pf the Nazi brooded over Europe like the very image of ill-will. It had been a grim year, but one which brought the greatest of all gifts for a nation at war—belief in our rulers and confidence in ourselves. “I can think of no higher form of leadership that the ministry can give,” he added, “than the encouragement of our people, by precept and example, to prosecute this truly Christian struggle until the Cross is finally triumphant and slavery replaced by freedom.' I hold that our country is not yet fully extended and that our people still underestimate the dangers which threaten us. Then let the Church of Scotland add the full weight of its vast influence in guiding its people to dedicate themselves afresh to work for the great effuse. Thus only can victory ho assured.”
