(Stratford 'Beacon -?Herald)
The Goderich branch of the Wom-
en's 'Institute has been in the habit
of placing a wreath on the memorial
cenotaph, but this year it has been
decided to snake a change. 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.
