Follow­ ing the band were members of the Canadian Legion, the First Hussars, and the Middlesex-Hurons. Then came the trumpet band of almost forty members from No. _9 S.F.T.S. at Centralia. The band,,, comprising- both men and women, looked smart in their' uniforms of blue with white belts. Following the band were men of_,.the-^Air Force with a detac.hmeirrfrom the Women’s Divisio.ii-'in, uniform next in line. Then" came the Wolf Cubs and the parade was completed at the church by members of the executive of the Red Cross, the outside units being well represented. The Main street was well lined with spectators. An augmented choir filled the chancel and during the service Mr. Kenneth Johns sang a solo. The honor roll, which contained the names of the members of the church on active service, was un­ veiled by Squadron Leader Rev. F. F. Crankshaw, padre of No. 9 S.T\ T.S.fwlio was the special speaker for the day. The names on the honor roll were read by President R. E. Pooley, of the Canadian Legion. The scroll was the work of Mr. G, Koch. For his sermon Mr. Crankshaw took for his text Ephesians 6:10, •‘‘Finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” He said, “Today we are gathered here to make our request known to God: to ask those things which we need, to give thanks for those things which He has already given us, and to dedicate ourselves* to the task which lies before us. We are at the beginning of the fourth year of the war. On September 3, 1939, Great Britain declared war on Gerniany; on the 10th of Sep* tember, the Dominion of Canada declared war. This Sunday, the 6th, has been chosen as being half­ way between those dates, as a suit­ able date for all Of us to join togeth­ er and come before ,the face of God. We come before the face of God, We say it a little glibly, and without much idea about what we mean when we say it. , If you were to ask an artist what is the most difficult thing to paint, he would tell you that it is the hu­ man face. The features are the same, but the expression Changes so rapidly that it is always difficult to catch one steady expression in order that it may be transferred to canvas.
