SJEWS4RECOR»' PAGE THREE Remembrance By ' PEG" During past the 27 years the fol- European war,' could very easily lowing news items have appeared in have become her captor? Then we our daily and weekly papers: have that miraculous rescue of the November 11, 1918 -The Armistice British soldiers at Dunkirk. Can 'we, has been signed. It was signed at who can recall those days between five o'clock a.mt (Paris tine)• and May 29 and June 3, 1940, ever forget hostilities will cease at 11 o'clock the anxiety of the world when an army of a quarter of a million men, and practically the entire equipment of Britain which could be used; was cornered at Dunkirk. • Then God quietened the waters, in such a way that even very small leoats could pass over to the little island and practic- ally every man was saved. Can one say. that God had no part in that? Oti, that we would only give credit to our ]Maker for all that He has done for us. The men in the forces of World War I had thrown the ,torch to ns. Did we carry it? Indeed we did not. Now those who have fought\so brav- ely for us in World War ,II have handed down the beacon light to us so that we might follow our Guide. What are we going to do about it? When the second war began we were further from God than we were at the end of the first war. God gave us our opportunity to serve Him be- tween the two wars, but many just drifted away from Him. Is the world at peace? No one will say that we are, and where it is all. going to end only God Himself knows. Will we not turn to Him, believe on Him and join the ranks of the Christian sol- diers under His leadership. On November eleventh we will ob. to our sincerity for the end of their serve Remembrance Day, when we will plea is: pay honour, not only to those who "If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies blow In Flanders Fields." Did we carry high the torch which they threw to us? World War II is an answer to that. It was nothing short of a miracle that the Allies came safely through World War I, and had it not been for the same God who sustained us then we would certainly never have • had our freedom at the end of World War II. As we look back over the different supernatural events which took place in recent years in the war zones, we realize we would undoubtedly now be under the heel of German oppression had. God not intervened. There are many people today who do not believe that. All honour to our noble men and women who gave their lives, and also to those who would willingly have done the same had they been called on to do so. All we need to do is to ask ourselves two of the many questions which might .be asked: "Who kept the Ger- man forces from invading England When they, according to authentic re- ports, released since the close of the this morning (Paris time). May 7, 1946 -Germany surrend- ered unconditionally to the Western Allies and Russia at 2.41 aan,' (French time today. The' surrender took place at a school house which is the headquarters of General Eisen- hower. September 2, 1945 -Japan surrend- ered formally and unconditionally to- the Allies today in a 20 -minute cere- mony which ended just as the s'tn burst through low hanging clouds as a shining symbol to a ravaged world how done with war. Since the end of World War I; Armistice Day and later Rememb- rance Day, has been observed on November 11. During this year the war with Germany and that with Japan have come to an end and now -we will observe Remembrance Day in honor of those who have laid down their lives for our freedom in ,theee two wars. One of the most popular poems that has ever been written was that composed by Dr. John McCrea, "In Flanders Fields." In it the men and women in the services are represent- ed as throwing to us the torch which .. they are being compelled to lay down. They evidently had some doubts as have paid the supreme sacrifice but those who have come home crippled, someof them maimed for life, those 'have. have. fought and come hack to spend weeks, months and even years in hospitals (there are some still in our hospitals who are veterans of the last war) suffering physical and mental agony. Many of them would have been thankful if God had taken them when they were wounded. There are many who have come back, fairly well, eibut to the end of their days they will carry memories which they wish they could forget. There are mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, to whom the day will bring sad memories. Their boys have not been in the line of march when the troops came home. It may be they cannot understand why God has so dealt with them, but the day will some in the hereafter, when they will thank God for His goodness in taking them. May God comfort all sad and lonely hearts on this Remembrance Day. We wonder from day to day just what is going to happen to this old world. It looks as if there might be troublous times ahead. Some people, Restrictions Lifted Men's and Boys' Clothing; Men may now .sport double-breast- ed suits,, and, even hi -swing backs oil jackets are allowed. An announce. meat has been made by W. Harold' McPhillips,peices and supply repre- sentative for. Western Ontario, that all restrictions on themanufacture of men's, youth's and boy's woollen outwear have been revoked. Mr. McPhillips explained the lift, ing; of restrictions would mean that double-breasted suits, formal wear, and various types of sport jaekets could now be made. Although the production of men's suits this year is expected to be five per cent higher than in 1944 one- third of the production is being re- served for demobilized servicemen, claim we will not have war again in the next generation. Time alone will telI.' We feel that too much cannot be said about the girls and boys in the armed forces. They have done wond- erful work, The enemy of civilization, Hitler, the Feuhrer of Germany,had a wonderful idea that he would some time rule the world. Where he is at the present time, no one seems to be too sure, but there is one thing cer- tain, he failed in .his ambition. There were many of our defenders who some place, while they. were in the services, met their Saviour and are coming home with a different idea of life than they had when they went away, but sad to relate there are some who have learned habits which were foreign to them when they enlisted. May they take • Goj into their lives and thus have a help- er who will lead them out of tempta- tion. Noone but Christ can keep us from the power of the tempter and sin, but He can and will do it if we ask Him to and trust Him. There will be thousands upon thousands who will take part in Re- membrance Day services, but how many, if they had the opportunity, would take part in the greatest Re- membrance Day service of all times, when "The Lord's Supper" was in- stituted by Christ in the midst of His twelve disciples. "And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying: 'This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.' Like- wise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup: is the New Test- ament in my blood, which is shed for you." Luke 22:20. There are very few to whom Re- membrance Day will not bring sad memories. They may not have been called upon to part with someone in their immediate family but dear friends have been called. It is a 'wonderful thought to have the assurance that if our loved ones have been summoned to the Home up above and Remembrance Day is lon- ely for many, yet if we believe in Christ and accept Him as our per- sonal Saviour, we will some day meet eeee home or skyscraper WS AS OLDITS A ARTERIES!' 11 • The life -carrying arteries of a building are its electric wires.
