Graves Are Decorated
Under the leadership of Anglican
and United Church clergymen and
under the inspiration of the Citadel
Salvation Army Band of London, the
Annual Cemetery Decoration service
at old St. James' Church was turn
ed into one of dedication to “Peace
Through Patriotism.”
Eyes filled with tears throughout
the largest gathering in the history
of the community as over a thou
sand voices joined with ardent fer
vor in singing “God Save the King.”
The service at St. James* Anglican
Church was conducted by Rev, L. C.
Harrison, who is rector of that par
ish and Holy Trinity Church at Lu
can. The guest of special honor
was Rev. K. McGown, now retired
a former rector, under whom the
decoration service was initiated some
sixteen years ago. A special tribute
of welcome was paid to Adjutant G.
Hartes of London Citadel Corps
bandmaster Gleen Shepherd and the
Salvation Army musicians.
“We meet here under the pressure
of a great emotion” Rev. W. J.
Moores, new pastor of United
churches at Clandeboye and Lucan,
declared early in his sermon. We
English speaking people on this
continent believe in peace, eternal
peace and this is why this empire is
at war today.
Though we view what has come
upon us with sick dismay we must
see that the past 25 years have not
been wasted. “They hate taught us
that there is no glory in war. The
members of Christ’s mystical body,
the church, have drawn closer to
gether. Once more, as in that noble
poem “The Spires of Oxford” we
know that our youth is preparing
to put games aside to answer the
call of bugles. Once more they Will
give their merry youth for country
and for God
We believe in other things than
peace. Sheer justice to minorities.
We want a world that will not put
its power Numuller's in concentra
tion camps that will have no such
horror of tyranny to threaten the
free souls of men.
Our hearts burn within us today
to remember Joyce Kilmer, Rupert
Brooke and onr own Col. John Mc
Crea. Brooke sang how the mar
tyred dust of English lads Would
make eternal England in gome for-
eign field. Today, the duet of free
men must make a world that will be
forever free.
We are to work for these things
in the love and fear of God. We must
keep hatred out of our hearts so
that our hearts may be filled with
the love of God henceforth and ever
more.
The torch of Flanders’ fields is
the torth of responsibility and not
merely to one another but, first and
foremost to our God and His Cruci
fied Son.
With Studdart Kennedy we see
Him Once more on Calvary and say
“Red with His blood the better day '
is dawning” and still on the Cross
the Saviour bares His Breast!
Rev. Mr. Moire was introduced
to the throng at St. James’ by Rev.
Mr. Harrison who said “I am very
happy to introduce to some of you
my friend add co-worker in these
communities. It is**" a privilege to
have him here tor this occasion and
to hear the message he will bring”.
Every grave in the cemetery was
decorated either by members of the
families concerned or by the decor
ation committee which was headed
by Wardens Andrew Carter and Wil
fred Cunningham and with Moore
Cunningham as secretary-treasurer
of the cemetery board. Tombs of
Odd Felolws were marked by special
fraternal flags as well as flowers.
