MEMORIES The ,parade has ended; in, silence we stand, As the snow swirls in this cold November. I see to my left a trembling old man, And I wonder; "What does he remember?" 'Is he standing in the old on a day long ago, While airplanes scream over his head? Amid the rifles' roar, does he stare in horror, At his friends lying wounded and dead? Toronto last week.

An old lady steps forward, a wreath in her hand, As . the snow swirls in this cold November: As she places it there, gent:: wipes a tear, I wonder, "What does she remember?" Does she see her son, as he tells her goodbye, And promises to come back from the war? Or does she remember the letter that said,. Her son would come home no more? I have no memories of war, death or pain, As we stand here in this cold November. But to ensure this horror never happens again, We Canadians must remem- ber! Infants baptized in special Service BELGRAVE — "The hand that rocks the future" may well have been the thought in the minds of the large con- gregation at Knox United Church,' Belgrave on Mother's Day as Rev. John G. Roberts baptized two infants, Matthew Adam, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Walker and Chad Ronald, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Cook. Four infants were baptized at Calvin -Brick: Courtney Eileen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim McGee; Heather Marie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Keith Black; Amanda Leanne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Palmer; Kevin Roy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Patterson. The minister asked, "What difference if we are baptized or not?" There, is nothing magical pertaining to bap- tism; no change in disposi- tion. It has nothing to do with health, wealth or wisdom. The advantage is that to baptize is to be baptized into faith. There is no guarantee in baptism. The baby is de- pendent on the faith of the church..and the parents. To be bap1i d into faith means the child's destiny is in God's hands; not man's. The order of baptism as presented in the Service Book was used. Hymns re- lated to the service were sung. The choir chose "A Mother's Day Prayer" as its anthem, with Mrs. George Procter, organist. Potted plants and flower arrangements beautified the sanctuary for the meaning- ful service.
