RED CROSS NEWS
LARGE CQNGREQATIQN AT.
REMEMBRANCE SERVICE
Armistice Snnday was observed
in Exeter when the members of the
Exeter-Hensall Branch pf the
adian Legion, the Boy Scouts
<Cubs, the First Hussars and
Middlesex-Hurons paraded to
James St. United Church fpr
ine worship at the morning service,
Headed by the Exeter band, the
processipn formed at the mill yard
and marched down Main
church, occupying the
served £er them. Each
ried its colors, which
posited at the front of the church.
The large auditorium and the gal
leries were comfortably filled. An,
anthem was sung by the choir en
titled “The , Lord Shall
Strength Unto His People”.
.Sturgis sang very ‘ effectively,
Flanders Fields”,
’ D. Thompson was marshall for
the Canadian Legion; Scoutmaster
A. Andrus, the Boy Scouts; Cub
leaders H. Sturgis and B, Wenger.,
Officers for the Hussars were Col.
Sanderson, Major Daly, Captain.
Granger, Lieut. S. Rennie, Lieut. K-
Bodkin and Lieut. Fuller. Thp
Middlesex-Hurons were in charge
of Lieut. George Wright. Rev. Mr.
Page was in charge of the service.
The speaker took’ his text from.
Matt, 12:24, “Except a corn o£
wheat fall into the ground and die,
it abideth alone; but if it -die, it
bringet-h forth much fruit.” That
is to say that there is an obvious,
waste that is no waste, a grievous
loss that is no loss but a glorious
gain. Watch that sower going up
and down the field. In his basket
there is seed. The fool is throwing
it away. But let the weeks and
the months pass ana nis seeming
foolishness will have proven to bo
wisdom. The land is flowing with
a golden harvest. Barns are filled,
to overflowing. The increase has
been sixty and a hundredfold. As
we sow, so shall we reap. It is the
law of life. There are no excep
tions. Use what you have for your
own pleasure and selfish interests
and it will rot. Use it for God and
your fellowmen and it will come
rhome to you many fold. ■
Another great thought is that
the cruel, senseless, blind ordering
of God in this world, as it would
seem to us, is wiser than our short
sighted eyes can see.
Another sower goes forth to sow.
Some seed falls on stony ground,
some on the hard beaten path where
the birds devour it or the weeds
crowd it out. Worries and care
trample life underfoot. God gave to
man a wonderful brain. Man picks
out a creature for his love and af
fection. Their children are joyous
and happy. Then comes- an ac
cident or sickness or a war and
they leave nothing but an aching
heart. We ask why? Nothing is
to be gained by refusing to look at
the dark and ugls things of life.
An artist’s picture without shad
ows is dishonest. The new testa
ment pictures man with his frail
ties. It also paints for us God’s love.
There is happiness and joy in the
way of life pointed out for us.
There is a story of a man, Who
resented the death of his son, go
ing to his minister -and asking
“Where was God when my son was
killed?” The minister was equal
to the occasion and replied, “God
was where he was when his own Son
died.” The life of Jesus Christ wad
! d life on fire to save the world. It
i was invested with power and dig
nity. His early life was spent in
a carpenter’s shop. At a compara
tively young age he suffered an
ignominious death. It was no loss.
! To-day is Remembrance Day. | Back into the minds of people
, comes the great question, “Why this
Friday, November 14, is packing
day.
Please bring your blankets or
donations for the purchase of blan
kets to the library, Friday after
noon, November 14. This is the
last appeal in the present cam
paign for blankets for Britain and
we are sure the Exeter Branch will
do its share to help provide warmth
and comfort for the people in cold
! air raid shelters, emergency hos
pitals and ambulances in Britain.
New blankets, or blankets “good
as new” are needed by the/thou
sands and this call cannot go un
answered. These blankets may be
purchased locally or $2.00 donated
to the Branch will buy a new one.
FRIDAY is the day. Make your
donations early.
