Carmel for the dead of both World Wars. Monsignor A. P. Mahoney, P.A V. G., of London, blessed and de­ dicated a memorial window anc doors. On these latter were in scribed the names of those who gave their lives in both wars These honoured dead were First World War, 1914-1918 Joseph J. Doyle, John T. Sulli­ van, Joseph M. Sullivan. Seconc World War, 19 3 9-19 4 5, Josepl P. Boland, Dennis Collins, Thomas Ryan, Kennth J. White As Bugler Bandet sounded '‘The Last Post”, the tablets were un­ veiled by Malcolm McDonald. Colonel, the Rev. T. J. Mc­ Carthy, M.C., of Sarnia, chose as the opening text of his ser­ mon, St. Paul’s greeting to his disciple Timothy “Like a good soldier of Christ, Jesus, take thy share of hardship”. St. Paul had been a soldier and knew well the difficulties and weari­ ness of a soldier’s life. The col­ onel spoke of the beauty and virtue of a soldier’s sacrifice. He recalled the conditions that existed in our pre-war world when dark forces o f tyranny and utter despair faced our civilization; when the flame of hope seemed all but extinguish­ ed. And then, into the breach stepped our youth, our young men and women. They came from every walk of life to give their all that we might retain our freedom, that the light of Hope might burn again. They left their families, their homes, all that was most sacred, that we® might keep our Christian civilization. Their war was not so much a war as a crusade for the things and ideals we held so dear and which a ruthless enemy sought to destroy. The Church has always con­ sidered patriotism as a virtue and these men who gave their all rank close to the Martyrs. And the colours of the Flag under which they fought! The Blue, symbolic of their loyalty to God. and Country; The White stands for their purity and virtue; The Red, symbol of the blood of their heroic sacrifice. In France there is a cemetery where stand row upon row of small white crosses marking the last resting place of thousands of our heroic Canadian boys. Over the gateway one reads, “Sleep in peace, Brave Soldier; your Sacrifice will never be forgotten.” Monuments to their memory are sign-posts to glory and freedom. To-day, we unveil a monu­ ment to the Dead of this Par­ ish; to the seven men who gave their lives these memorial doors and windows will be reminders of their Sacrifice. As you pass through these doors, the portals of the House of God, remember them in prayer that they may sleep in peace. To you, their relatives and friends, I do not offer sympathy but congratulations, for you share in their sacrifice as you have given of your flesh and blood. “Sleep in peace, Brave Soldiers; your Sacrifice will never be forgotten.” At the close of the sermon, Rev. J. M. Fogarty, the Pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, read t.he names of the War Dead'in whose honour this memorial ceremony was talcinp place. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament followed the blessing of the doors and window. Rev. B. Sullivan C.S.B. of St. Mich­ ael’s College, Toronto, was Cele­ brant. He was assisted by Rev. W. T. Corcoran as Deacon and Rev. L. J. Flynn as Sub-Deacon Present in the sanctuary were Rev. J. IL Ffoulkes D.D., of Dublin, Rev. F. J. Laverty, of London, Rev. J. F< Paquette of Parkhill.
