ARMISTICE SERVICE
Armistice Day, Thursday, Novem-
ber 11th was observed as a public
•holiday. In the morning at 10.45
a public service of worship was held
in James Street United Church. The
members of the Legion headed by
the Exeter band paraded to the
church where a goodly number were
ill attendance. The local clergy had
charge of the service with. Rev. Mr.
Page acting as chairman, Prayers
were offered by Rev. Mr. Elliott and
Rev. Mr. Hill. Following the open
ing exercises the Last Post and Re-
vielle were sounded by Buglei’ Beer
followed, by two minutes silence. A
solo “In Flanders’ Fields” was sung
by Mr. W. R. Goulding. The special
speaker for the occasion was Rev.
R. N. Stewart, of Centralia. Mr.
Stewart took for his text Zachar-
iah 4f6 “Not by- might nor by power
but by my spirit, said the Lord of
Hosts.” Mr. Stewart opened his re
marks by referring to a poem by
Robt. Southey “After Blenheim.” “It
was the English, Casper said who
put the French to route; but what
they fought each other for I could
not well make out.” After almost a
generation no 'one seemed to kno-w
why the Great War was fought. No
one seemed quite to understand
what was accomplished through the
sacrifices you and your comrades
made. The more the speaker stud
ied the causes of the war the more
he could see no real need for it.
There are few who gained anything,
■only those who profited through pro
fiteering. He was speaking to men
who gave their all and he wanted
to pay tribute to the men who- went
overseas not alone those1 who- are
here, but to you and your comrades.
It is well that we stop today to pay
honor to whom honor is due. You
represent the very, best of the na
tion's manhood of the generation to
w'hieh you belong. Yours was a
great sacrifice. Unfortunately sacri
fice does not always accomplish all
that is expected of it. You were
told it was a war to end war; that
lasting peace could only he gained
when those with military aims and
abilities should be crushed. But in
the word’s of Christ, strife cannot
be ended by strife and war cannot
be ended by war. Today; democracy
is threatened, d^-is. struggling for
its very existence. Nazism, Fascism
and Communism seems to be on up
ward trend. The war was a failure
in that all things that it was sup
posed to accomplish were a failure.
If war was a failure what can be
done to secure peace? Peace was
never grained by might or by power
but by the spirit of Jesus Christ and
could be brought about if all men
throughout the world, would realize
the spirit of brotherhood.
There were two ways tihe speak
er suggested for stopping war. One
was to let the officers, the muni
tion manufacturers, the workers,
and soldiers be conscripted and that
all get the same wage and all placed
on the same footing as the private
ir. the ranks. If capital were given
thirty days to think it over there
would be no war. T’he second way
was to apply the principles of Jesus
Christ, to the national and interna
tional interests of, the world. Christ
suggested that we love our enemies;
do good unto them that despitefully
use you. He said, blessed are the
peacemakers. He also snid that they
that take the sword shall perish by
the sword. We have tried war.
Shall we try. the principles of Jesus
■Christ that make for peace? We
know the futility and the horrors of
war. But may we never again send
of our bravest and best to the fields
of -battle. May the time soon come
when peace, love and brotherhood
be known throughout the world.
At the conclusion of the service
the meeting, adjourned to the ceno
taph where a short memorial service
was conducted by the Legion under
the leadership of W. E. Middleton.
A wreath on behalf of the Provin
cial Government was placed on the
•cenotaph by Mrs. Geo. Etherington;
on behalf of the town by Council
lor J. W. He'rn owing to the indis
position of Reeve W- D. Sanders. A
wreath on beihalf of the Legion was
desposited by Sidney McArthur of
Hensall. Rev. Mr. Elliott led in
prayer Bugler Beer’ played the Last
-Post and Revielle, and the National
Anthem led by the band brought the
service to a close.
Before attending, the service in
town members of the Legion motored
ed to Hurondale where a service was
held at the cenotaph there. Rev. Mr.
Mair, of Thames Road-, delivered a
very fine address. On behalf of the
provincial government a wreath was
placed at the memorial by Miss Della
Okej ' fOr the township by'Mrs. Ru
fus Kestle and for the Legion by
Comrade Thos. Pryde.

SCHOOL DRAIN REPAIRED
When water found its way into the
furnace room at the Exetei- school
following the rains of a couple ct
weeks ago it was found necessary
to open up the deep drains to ascer
tain the cause. The drain is thir
teen feet deep and considerable dig
ging was found necessary. Roots
from trees and other material had
almost blocked the tile. Fire
hose were used to flush the dram.
Two large manholes, one on the
school property and one on the street
were put in in order to give easy
access to the drain should further
trouble develop in tne future

■gifts and expressions of good wish
es. A beautiful blanket was- given

tute. Mrs. Lammie’s trousseau was
shown. A dainty lunch was serv
ed.

Mr. A. W. Powell, of Wrangell,
Alaska, has .been visiting with his
brother, Mr. -Stephen Powell, of
town. Wrangell is on the southern
strip of Alaska, off the British Col
umbia coast and the climate is some
what similar to our own. -Owing
to the warm currents which circle
the coast the weather in winter is
not severe seldom going below 12
degrees below zero. In a letter re
ceived by Mr. Powell from his
daughter, Mrs. Lillian Grant, dated
November 6th, she states that there
has been no cold weather as yet.
Dahlias, gladioli and phlox were
still in bloom. Vegetables do ex
ceptionally well and one could not
ask for better strawberries than
were grown there. The inhabitants
of Wrangell which number around
1,00-0 are mostly from Sweden and
Norway and the principal occupa
tion-is fishing. The Japanese do
considerable fishing off the coast
where they operate floating canner
ies. -Some of the nets used by the
Japanese in fishing are two miles in
length. Mr. Powell is a native of
London Township and has spent
the past five years at, Wrangell.
