Michigan cousins visit in Belgrave
A white cross adorned with red
poppies on the communion table of
Knox United Church, Sunday
morning served as a solemn
reminder of the lives sacrificed for
us and the debt of gratitude we
owe.
The psalm reading, hymn and
the scripture passages, "Micah 3:
3", they shall beat their swords
into pruning hooks - neither learn
war any more" and John 17: 33
" these things have I spoken that ye
might have peace - be of good cheer

ber 6.

I have overcome the world," all
implied hope.
The choir sang, "He Leadeth My
Soul", with Mrs. George Procter,
organist. Rev. John G. Roberts
said "I never know what to say or
think to honour those who gave
their lives." Why should the
"young" remember? Soon there
will be none who remember. Are
we trying to put off the evil days; or
is there something more?"
There are two simple basic
things. First since the last war
situations like Dunkirk days are
different, never again will war
demand such enterprises as Dun-
kirk, Dieppe 1944 or the 1945
invasion. War will be fought by a
few decisions, remotely as a push
foot-button war.
What did the previous wars do
for us? They gave us the opportun-
ity to learn real lessons. This is vital
to remember.
Secondly, there is an intimate
connection between Canada and
distant countries. A Remembrance
Day parade has much to say to all.
Its members are the survivors of
several generations who chose to
face decisions with fortitude,
courage and sacrifice. It was their
choice. The choice of the "Young"
will be different. Face your choice
with courage, fortitude, commit-
ment and hope.
