Flags decorate Belgrave church

An assembly of flags
emblematic of Britain, Can-
ada and the Christian faith
on a white base, with a world
globe to indicate the world-
wide participation on the
Communion table, a white
cross with red poppies flank-
ed by Canadian and Union
Jack flags at the church
entrance served as a solemn
reminder of realistic past
experienced to many mem-
bers of Knox United church,
Belgrave on Remembrance
Day.
Members of the former
Belgrave Men's Choir sang
"This Is My Song, 0 God of
All the Nations" accom-
panied by the organist, Mrs.
George Procter.
Rev. John Roberts based
his remarks on. John Chapter
21:21,22 as, St. Peter ques-
tions "What about him Lord?
and Jesus' reply "What is
that to you? "You follow
me."
The minister stated
"There was no civilian sense
in Europe during the wars."
Even children carried iden-
tification cards and gas
masks to school. Constant
reminders of war were pre-
valent everywhere. All were
caught up, there was no
exception. Posted casualty
lists were incomplete as they
did not include the bombed
residents of London, Coven-
try etc. The same conditions
existed all over Europe.
Hours spent during bombing
raids were terrifying as per-
sons huddled together listen-
ed for planes and explosions.
Each tried to cope, frighten-
ed, but there was no escape.
To read and forget is
hypocritical; we must learn
from the past. We must
remember with resolve and
determination.
