STONEHOUSE 887-9847 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. 9 TABLES Nine tables of progressive euchre were played last Wednesday evening in the W.I.
