Major Hartt expressed his regret that
Rev. Mr, McCormick and Rev. rather
Hogan were kept away by parochial
duties §md thus prevented our service of
dedication from being one of complete
unity. The Major was led to remark
that in the days of tur suffering there was
no 41vision of creed but man reached out
to man in worship as in work. The bit-
terness and quarrels of neighbour and
neighbour in the past was chiefly due
to uabridled tongues. The great among

said, "These -were our boys-, this is oar
gift; this is our service". Rev. W. B.
Hawkins conducted the service and had
the great union choir open with, "Ye
Gates, Lift up your I -leads". When
though, the hymn, "0 God, our Hell), in
Ages Past, our I -lope in Years to Come",
was announced, the people became the
choix and sang with the wholeness of
heart for which. the leaders of our church-
es pray.
Hon. Manning Doherty, Minister of
Agriculture, greeted the people and in a
few terse remarks (lid homage to our
heroes and pointed out that the greatest

divided into regiments but we had one ob-

ours went over the top we cheered and
they did their bit better for the cheer.
The war was fought just to learn that
lesson. Major Hartt somehow touched
the great human note that appeals to
listeners.
The service was ended. Our Memorial
