Proclamation for a Day of Dedication. Special forms ot service for the occa­ sion had been prepared and the rector, Rev. E. O. Gallagher spoke from the text “Awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord” Isaiah 51: 9. "Our way of life,” he said, "possesses the possib­ ility of infinite progress. Its world is not settled forever. The chance to im­ prove and to amend is here. If Hitler achieves his aims, the whole planet will shake with the. Earthquake, yet, some even yet do not understand the issue. We go on living in this world, because young men are prepared to die. A great task has been laid upon us to fulfil, for the good of the world. We must be a dedicated nation. But; file important thing is “Am I dedi­ cated?” This Nazi ideal of government can succeed only if men consent to ab­ andon their humanity and accept the status of beasts. We have to -be clear as to whether we are justified in claiming that God is on our side. God only fights in His own wars. He will be the ally of no country. But nations may count themselves as His ally if they are struggling to preserve those things which He has declared are of supreme value. We pray today that God will direct the course of this war, and that is right. But God works through us. Christ’s body is composed of people in the fellowship of His Church and God’s arm is those men who have dedicated themselves to ful­ fill His purpose. During the offertory, the choir sang the anthem "Be Still, And Know That I Am God,” and Mr. Lanning contributed a solo "Land of Hope and Glory.” NOTICE Dr. J.
