The money will be forthcoming, but instead of ,going for a wreath it mi'ill be given to the veterans 10 be spent on prac- tical relief, lit requires a little courage to make such a cthange, We have becomeac- customed to the idea of decorating war memorials on Remembrance Day, and there is considerable sentiment hound up with the custom. The serv- ice on that day is impressive and the placing of decorations is also im- preceive. There is something else to mesider, and that "xnmetltin gelse" is what ap- pealed to the Women's Institute in Gielcrich, There are returned him who have not been doing well for year:; they are in want and they keep on being in want. The gratitude of the country has never been expresser) in sufficient volume to become equal to the promises' male to these men when they put on the uniform and went toward the front, These Wren would be the last to mention a change 'n the Remembrance ,flay pro- gramme; they would not urge that at- tention to the living ryas an ideal Wray of paying respect to the dead, But in ,Goderich that decision itas been made and wiplt it no one can quarrel. It is one of these affeint in which there can he no uniform procechn'e. There will be people who will con- tinue in the belief that decoration for war memorials is something which cannot be allowed to lapse, They ;:re moved by desire to do honor to those who have departed. It is a near -sacred idea which is quite . be- yond criticism, There will be others, like the 'Women's Institute in Goder- ich, tubo see in tate needs of returned Wren an opportunity to honor the ser- vice which they perforated in what they term a more practical way, Their motive is just as worthy as that of the folk who adhere to the decoration custom. Honor can be done to the dead by being just and merciful to the living. In the Old Testament there are var- ious references to the "laws of the Medes and ,Persians" which we are told, could not be altered nor repeal- ed, Under such statutes, !Queen Vash- tii was ibanished from the presence of [King Ahasuerus (Esther 1111119), and (.Darius was unwillingly compelled to cast Daniel into the den of lions (Dtun. 6;5, X112, 115, 716); while the authority granted to Esther and Mordecai as recorded in Esther 597, '8, is regarded as coming under the same head, through, in this instance "the laws of the lichee and ,Persians' are not spe- cifically mentioned. Strangely enough, there appears to be no record of such irrevocable statutes among the in- scriptions or early literature of the llcdo-Persian empire; and thus far scholars have been unable to race the origin of the !Biblical references.
