Yule A hearty vote of Battery Attended Service Members of the 99th Wingham Battery, R.C.A., attended the morning service in Knox Presbyterian Church on Sunday, The Rev. F.’ G. Fowler took as his • subject “Overcoming Fear” and based his sermon on Psalm 37:3. His introduction was the para­ lysing effect of fear and referred to the time when the fear of war para­ lysed all departments of our national life. But this fear was changed to spiritual defiance and righteous anger, when our statesmen had gone beyond “the second mile”, to appease the en­ emy and received insults and further demands. There came an overwhelm­ ing conviction that in standing for the principles of truth, freedom, righteous­ ness and honour we were as- an. Em­ pire aligning ourselves with God. There were things in our' Christian civilization which were un-Christiau and obnoxious which were not- worth the sacrifice of'a human life, and* these will have to .go. But the finer things of our Christian civilization being at stake, .all the paralysing power of fear has yanished and a spirit of confidence is now the national mood. Mrs. Chas. McCutcheon and Alan Ramsay sang a duet. The service closed with The Last Post, one minute silence, veille and the National Anthem.
