Day Service, -• Victory Service United Church was filled on Mon- day night when its members and those of St. James Church and Salem con- gregation joined in a service of prayer and thanksgiving. Rev. J. L. Foster was in charge of the special order of service, assisted by Rev. G. K. Nobes of St. James Anglican Church, who delivered the message. and based his remarks on the three freedoms, Free- dom of Learning, Freedom of Religion and Freedom of the Soul. Rev. J. L. Foster also spoke briefly. The choir under the direction of Mr. G. A. Wear- ring, sang an anthem, "0 Give Thanks Unto the Lord". A quintette was sung by Messr Vern Hupfer, Arthur Gibson, Gilbert Howes,, W. G. Gib- son and G. A. Wearring. Mr. David Weir was also on the platform repre- senting the Howick Council. The children from Wroxeter Public School with their teachers, Mr. Hamilton and Mrs. Wearring, paraded to the service and occupied the front pews. Al- together it was a service of thanks- giving and remembrance, a fitting celebration for Victory which will long be remembered by the citizens of this. community. Legion and A.F. and. A.M. Join In Service of Remembrance St. James Anglican Church, its chancel banked with lovely Spring flowers, was a fine setting for Sun- day evening's service which combined a service of Remembrance with Mothers' Day members of Howl& Legion and members of Forest Lodge A.F. and A.M. parhding to the church to join with the congregation in wor- ship. The rector, Rev. G. K.. Nobes, was,in charge and was assisted by Rev. J. L. Foster of United Church who read the scripture lesson. The hymns chosen for this special occa sloe were "0 God our help in Ages Past", "Unto the Hills" and "Faith of our Fathers." The theme for the address by Rev. G. K. Nobes was "The Mills of God." The speaker paid a tribute to mothers and said it was most fitting that these two great days should be linked up, because mother, home and a good life were the things for which our men had given their lives and it was the mother who had cared for her child so many years who would feel the deepest sorrow for those who will not return, He spoke of the systematic planning and build- ing of Germany for war, gradually leavng out all of the things which had made her a great nation only to be dragged in the dust, because once more right has triumphed over wrong, He compared this with the clays of . Christ upon earth, of the proud and. mighty Roman Empire, whose high ranking officers had caused Christ to bear the cross, They, the Men in high office are forgotten but the name of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, is known even to the smallest child, and in humble churches, great cathedrals all over the world people gather to wor- ship him. The thoughts conveyed by the speaker were sttnrtrted tip hi the words of a great poet, "The Mills of God grind slowly by grind exceeding time.'"
