service and a common sacrifice.
It has to offer comradeship only
and asks of its members —
service, not for self, but for
those of our comrades or their
dependents who are in need or
in distress. It requires you to
remember that, as you have
served your country under arms,
so you should serve in civilian
life, ever zealous in any work
which will make our Country
and our Commonwealth more
truly representative of the ideals
for which our Comrades laid
down their lives ..."

Service was at the Holy Trinity
Anglican Church, Lucan, last
Sunday for the newly confirmed
and the 1968 Confirmation
class. Breakfast was provided
and served by the Trinity
Couples' Club in the Church
basement after the service. There
were 31 present.
At the regular 11 a.m. service,
Rev. R. A. Carson preached on
Eschatology and the need for a
second Reformation while there
is still time. As examples of the
degeneration of our society, he
sighted the use of drugs, the
increase in violence, the
apparent indifference to sex
murders and the failure of the
School Boards to provide
adequate Religious Education.
