Rambling With Lucy
(Iiucj R. Woacls)
Tice weather being so mild Lucy .and her huwband..
rambled out to worship at Trinity Anglican. Church on
Sunday adorning. "Sc" in front of the word ramble des-
cribes the effort bat they arrived before the processional,
and :there vas room for many more'•peeple in the church.
One of the hyar?ns,Rudyard Kipling's "Recessional," writ-
ten forueen ictoria'�s Diamond Jtubilee 'was . sun Brief:
Q V g
ly it recalled the description given use by one of the' original
Canadian Northwest Mounted Policemen, the late Sack-
ville Cotter, Pert Maiitiarld', of the ,Tubilee procession. He
tools picked •ridera 4o represent Canada as a member of
the British 'Empire, The icarrealion Government was so
penurious at that time that the east of transporting the
mounts was turned down. The men could take their
saddles; bridles! and trappings, and acquire horses in Eng-
land (How far the pendulum has swung the other way
since 1$77).
When they arrived in England the officials in charge
would'n',t allow the 'Canadians to use their western saddles
or bits. The men objected because they weren't at home on
their mounts in military saddles and different bits: Sack -
• Cotter argued politely over the matter and then not
so politely! He consigned some of the minor official's to a,
very hot place, and demanded to have speech with a. senior
officer.'
In the end there was; a compromise The Canadian
Northwest Mounted Policemen, after only a brief practice,
.and not knowing their horses, gave such a fine performance
in ho'rsernanship rthat they were widely acclaimed. In their
scarlet tunics, they worn the adhniration of the crowds ---with
no thanks to the Canadian government to' which they
brought great honour.
All thiall thea. 4iiickly through Lucy's noodle!
• Then came the (words of the ,Recessional which was one
of those prescribed for memory work long years ago when
Lucy was a little girl, With two flaxen braids, and big blue
hair ribbons, in Bayfield Public School.
Always when she recited or sang the hymn, the verses
were full• of meaning. ,But on this recent occasion, she was
struck by the almost Prophetic qualities' of the poem. Every
word applies to this day and age. Had Rudyard Kipling, in
the great rejoicing and celebration of Queen Victoria's
Diamond Jubilee, when England and the British Empire
were at the height of power, foreseen this moment? •
It begins with an address to God and each verse ends
with a: supplication to Him:
"Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
.Lest we forget, lest We forget."
And the last. verse:
"For Heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard;
All valiant dust .that builds- on dust,
• And guarding calls not Thee to guard:
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy ori Thy, people Lord'."
Have `we, like the Israelites of old, grown away from
God and followed false gods .of our own waking?
History repeats itself! •i The • Israelites always suffered
• when they separated teniselves from Jehovah;'
Th'e F' motor` `:preached a Sermon on the Remeannbrance
Day it1 enie: He-liase'd it on Joshua 24, verse 15: "Choose
you this day whom ye will serve'. but as for me and
my house, we will serve the Lord."
After reading of the danger, we, in North America
are today, as the Honourable J. Waldo Monteith, LI -.,Da
expressed it, "Missile moments from oblivion," and through,
all the pros and cons of Rallout shelters, etc., watching
Tocsin B on avionday night, Lucy has decided that it is
net a matter of what wethink as individualist. The hope
lies in putting our trust in God' 'and following the govern-
ment instruction.
If we have tnvo.weeks food supply ahead it might mean
we'd . avoid • starvation, .and certainly give our disrupted
transports a chance to re -organize.
By following national emergency .programs and comply-
ing with them, the first step has been taken in working
out survival.
At the same time Lucy is reminded of an Old Testamenit
verse which a tried and trusted friend wrote her when her
little world looked' as if it were crumbling: "The Eternal
God is thy refuge, and underneaith are the everlasting arms:
and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee."
