Currie chose for his subject "The War of Today" and his text was from Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers ..of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Mr. Currie's address was, forceful and called on the veterans and the peo- ple in general to show the same sac- rificing spirit today that characteriz- ed the period of 1914-18. The service of praise was lead by the Orpheus Choir of Kitchener who rendered two anthems, "Comrades' Song of Hope" and "In the Sweet Bye and Bye." A beautiful solo was also rendered by Mr. W. Godwin, tenor soloist of the Orpheus Choir. The . service was concluded with the bugle sounding- the Last Post, followed by Two -Minute Silence, Re- veille then sounded and Rev. L. H.

Yes, and in thosel4 years, many of us have had . . . and some still have . . . dark days when it seemed the battle of Life was turning against us. But . . .

Many of those brave lads gave their lives. Many still patiently bear the wounds of war, both in our hospitals and in private life. For many of the lat- ter, the war will never be over.
