Alex­ ander Rapson during the Rem- brance Day service in Main St.. XJnited Church Friday. "You ought to be giving your­ selves to your communities as readily as you* gave yourself to your country," he said. “As you do that you will fee paying tribute to those who paid the supreme sacrifice.”. . . "Promote and further the things they gave their lives for,” the minister urged. "This is your decade men”, he told the Legion members. "Maybe you thought you were getting a raw deal in the first decade but this decade and the next decade are yours—they belong to you". "You should enter into com­ munity life and play a very ade- - quate roll in it.” Have Duty To Perform Rev. Rapson said he did not know why some, got through the war .and others didn’t—why some survived heavy artillery fire while ■Others were killed by a single shell—but he felt that those who are' left have a task to do.
