Did You Ever Stop To Think? By Edson R. Waite I was much interested in reading in the Rangoon, Burma, India, Times an address made by His Excellency, Sir Charles Innis, governor of Burma, to graduates of the University of Ran goon. In part the governor Aid: “Once you have been taught to think, you gain experience. You have a chance of becoming what is known as a man of good judgement. Also you become more and more considerate of the opinions and mistakes of othe^., for you find out for yourselves how difficult it is to acquire a right judge ment in all things. “We in the government are accus tomed to criticism; Indeed, every day 6f my life my chief secretary puts up to me the criticisms made in the press and elsewhere of the govern ment of Burma, and I read them w-ith due attention and such philosophy as I may. Some of them are valuable; some insincere, at least they seem -to be so to me, and some again are a mere repetition of current political catchwords which in other countries, as well as Burman, are apt to take the trend of political thought, “Criticize as much as you like, but at least let your criticism be fair, in formed and thought out.” ‘ Much can be gained if we w’ould stop and think more before we speak. We are all too prone to criticize dur state and national governments with careless words and without full knowl edge of what we say. It is always best to help make our government better. If we have to criticize, well thought out, constructive criticism is best.

COFFEE CROP AIDED BY RED CROSS IN ISLANDS CHURCHMEN ASK SUPPORT OF RED CROSS ROLL CALL Disaster relief given following the West Indies hurricane which struck I Porto Rico, the Virgin Islands and j Florida, as well as other islands in the Caribbean' Sea, presented one of the largest tasks yet undertaken by the | American Red Cross.

Leading churchmen of the na tion have joined in asking public support of the annual Roll Call of the American Red Cross. Two dis tlngulshed leaders who have^ sent messages to their congregation.s all over the country are quoted, as. follows: **1 plead for an extension of our Red Cross membership until we can call a roll of every adult Amer ican.” stated the .Most Reverend Michael J Curley. Archbishop of Baltimore. “I would like to see the cliildren listed in the organiza tion by their parents. 1 plead for it because of the spiritual reaction 1 visualize in our millions of con tributing members.” “As president of th|e Federal Council of the Chu.'cbes of Christ in America, i bespeak for the Roll Call of the American Red Cross the fullest cooperation of all the churches in the constituency of the Council.” writes Francis J Mc Connell, president of the Federal CouuciL “1 cannot imagine that there is any minister who will not be grateful for the opportunity to call the attention of bia people to the work of the Red Cross and to urge them to enroll in its member ! ship.” It belongs to a family of pioneers, this rugged Pathfinder.
