A parade that reached- for almost two blocks and accompanied by three bands assembled nt the pillars south of the town and paraaed to the church. ;The parade was head­ ed by Groupi Captain E. G. Yuliex ton, followed by the now famous Kiltie Station; Hensall branch of the Canadian Legion; and airwomen with their officers and the brass band from the Cen­ tralia airport, also the Exeter Band, the reeve, council and officials of town, members of the Middlesex- Huron Regiment, the Boy Scouts and Cubs, with a few members of the Board of Education and Lions club. The church was filled for the occasion as was the Trivitt Parish Hall which had been equipped with a public address system. Some of the worshippers had to stand and a number were turned away, The rector, Rev. M, A, Hunt, was in charge of the service. The choir from the airport with Miss MacFaul at the console, led the service of song. The two minutes silence was observed with Reveille and Last Post beirig sounded. The ture lesson was read by Group Fullerton. The special speaker was Band from the Centralia members of the Exeter- several hundred airmen The scrip- Capt. F/L. H. G. Martin, padre at No. 9 S.F.T.S. His theme was God’s hand moving behind the scenes, the text being taken from I Sam 7:12. He said that during the past four years Britain had come as near to defeat as she had during the previous 1900 years. There must have been some purpose in her preservation, He spoke of the fate of Poland, Denmark, Holland and France. Fol­ lowing the evacuation at Dunkirk Britain stood almost weaponless. Famine threatened the isles when the U-boat was doing its deadly work and then was reaped in Brit­ ain the greatest harvest she had evei’ known. When the blitz had almost accomplished its purpose Hitlei’ turned his armies loose on Russia. Japan entered the war and Hong Kong,.,.Jdalay and Singapore were lost to 'the British. North Af­ rica was ’all but overrun. Follow­ ing the great day of prayer in September 19 42 the tide of battle began to change in favor of the Allies. The enemy was swept from North Africa; Malta relieved; Sicily captured; Mussolini fell, followed by a succession of victories and miracles. God’s hand has been im­ minent, said the speaker. He spoke of Churchill, Roosevelt, and named many of the high ranking officials as god-fearing men. In spite of the fact that more sin of every type prevails God has spared the Em­ pire. The speaker believes it is for a purpose, that God has a plan for the nation. We should accept the challenge he throws to us. Christ should have the first place in our lives. Following the service the parade reformed and marched to the War Memorial where wreaths were plac­ ed as follows: the Province of On­ tario, by Mrs. N. Hannigan; Village of Exeter by Reeve Tuckey; the Middlesex-Hu rons by Lieut. E. Howey; R.C.A..F. by Group Captain Fullerton; Exeter-Hensall branch of the Legion by President R. E. Pooley. Reveille and The Last Post was followed by the National An­ them and the benediction by Rev. Mr. Hunt. A march past followed the cere­ mony and the salute was taken at the post office steps by Group Captain Fullerton. Prior Exeter _ _____ motored to Hurondale for a cere­ mony at the Hurondale Memorial. An address was .given by Comrade Rev. Wm. Mair. Mr. A. W. Morgan deposited a wreath oh. behalf of the Ontario Government; Mr. Har­ ry Strang on behalf Of Usborne Township and Wm. Jeffery on be­ half of the Legion.
