I've got the following answers (mainly thanks to Answerbank!) but can't really understand them. Can anyone help, please?
37d - Donation, not deception, is needed to limit the overseas suffering.
Tribulation.
43d - End of contest with one coming in bottom beginning to hate what he hasn't achieved.
Triumph. (I can understand all of this except how 'triumph' is 'what he hasn't achieved'.)
46d - New Testament book in Sunday's first service.
Mattins.
And, while we're at it, the answer to 39 d - Temporary benefit of a long-term view - seems to be 'enchantment', derived from the Mark Twain reference to distance lending enchantment, but surely 'long-term' relates to time rather than distance? Or am I just being impossibly pedantic? (Or simply wrong?)

Thank you, k - I'm speechless with admiration.
46d Mattins.....NT Book = MATT (hew) +in + s (in sunday's)

MATT IN S
Matt(hew) in S(unday)
Sorry missed 39a

It is from Mark Twain and distance is a 'term' for long i.e. a 'long- term view' !
Question Author
Thanks again, k - and Vesper99. K, I had got the 'building blocks' of 43 down, but couldn't make the final connection, implying that 'what he hasn't achieved' connoted 'triumph'. Can you, or anyone else, elucidate, please?
Question Author
K - re 39a - brilliant! You must eat a lot of fish!
"One coming in bottom," hasn't achieved a triumph.
Question Author
Ah! Nice one, geo - grateful thanks.
