Notwithstanding ‘the inclement weather there was s. large vvngs , including con. l-lflilfinls of the Legion, the Ladies Aid of the Legion, the I. O. 1), 3,, and the Kirk Troop of Boy scouts and Wolf Cubs, who were celebrat- ing the Chief Scout's Birthday. Lord Baden-Powell having been horn February 22nd. There was a full choir which rendered the an- J-‘heln. "There-is a Blessed Home," Mrs. Lawson and Mrs. Henderson til-King the solo and dluet parts. The hymns included "O God Our Help 1n Ages Past" and the Na- tional Anthem. The first lesson was read by Col. H. D. Johnston, M.D., and the second lesson by 30y Scout Frank Andrew. After the sermon wreaths were placed at the Communion Table by Messrs. Lloyd Gaudet and Walter Love. The Last Post was sounded by Mr. Charles Hines. The South African veterans in attendance were: Lloyd Gaudet, Waiter Love, Captain James Walker. Fred Large, Den Kenmdv. Reginald Cox, Charles Hines, Harry Hyde, Wil- liam Warren, Col. Wm. Cook and Col. H. D. Johnston.

After welcoming the v ‘erens and accom lug organizations, and the Boy Scouts and Wolf Cubs, Rev. Dr. Moorhesd legato preached an appropriate sermon 1mm 311011118 X11. 26, "What mean ye by this service?" He said: It would not,be amiss for each of us to ask this question of ourselves every time we come to God's house, because the peace and profit which come to us in the hour of worship depend to a large extent upon our understanding of what the service means. To enter the Lord's house perfunctorlly, with a heart unexpectant and unprepared, is to defeat the very purpose of worship. and to go away unblest. Whereas to approach God with a

sincere realization of what we are doing- when we meet in His house, i is to carry away the precious bless- ings which are given to the sin- cere worshipper. And so, I say, it 1B I 800d thing to put the question 0f our text to ourselves on every occasion of worship, “What mean I by this service?" But it is all the more necessary for us to do this when We come together in a spe- cial servlce like that of this morn- iflg- We should try to be, clear as to what this service means, and ‘the objects we seek in taking part in it. Now I want to propose three reasons which I believe have led us to wend our way to the sanctu- ary of God this momlng, as the rolling years have brought round again the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Battle of Paardeberg,‘ in which was borne a. heroic part by several of our fellow-citizens who sit before me as I speak these words. And let me here oonsratu- late the South African veterans on

i

this service that we desire to pre-

serve from falling into decay one of the highest Christian . the have of country. We desire to maintain on its pedestal, with all

the honour and effulgenec that

belong w it, the virtue of patriot-

isrn. Love of one's country is

amongst the most ancient of the

virtues. Even in the primitive civil-

iticns for a man to live his life

for his country was accounted unto

him for righteousness. We recall

the familiar couplet from one of

Milli-filly’! "T-flys of Ancient

RomeW-J-‘Pbr how can man die

better than facing fearful odds, for

the ashes of his fathers, and the

temples of his gods?" The position

oi patriotinn in the list of the

Christian virtues has never been

questioned; and I think it will be a

bad day for the world if it ever is.

In these present days, when per-

haps the noblest movement of the

ago is the endeavour to outlaw war

and win the world for peace, we must be careful not tn allow the

honour of patriotism to be be-

llttled, nor its importance to be

eclipsed behind false lines of argu.

ment. for peace. For patriotism is

a virtue which is essential to some of the finest and Purest features

of human nature at its best. There-

fore to us one of the meanings of our service this morning is that we‘ are here in the house of God to confirm our belief in the Christian

significance of patriotism. and to thank God that this very virtue led certain of the men who worship hens today, and their ‘mourned comrades who did not come back, to count not their lives dear unto them for the sake of Empire and from love of their doe-r father-

iand the Dominion of Canada.

When Wars Shall Cease

And than. the third meaning of this service to us is this-that the peace and harmony and brother- hood of the nations of ilhe world, for which we long and pray. and for which so many good pqopla are earnestly working, can only be realised by the help and blessing of Almighty God. That is the con- viction to which all deeply-think- 1118 Petlple are being drawn today. All the signs point to that fact. Slowly, it may be, but nevertheless surely we are being converted tc. the belief that the fabric of world peace cannot rest securely upon any merely humanly-devised ex- Dediellts: but that. to attain this consummation so dovoutly to be wished. we have to dig down tp bedrock; and that bedrock, in this matter means God's answer to the prayer, “Create within us a clean heart. 0 10rd‘: and renew a right spirit within us." It seems to me that there is a growing feeling in the-minds of those earnest and well-meaning people who continue to tinker with temporary experi- ments with a view to healing in- ternational breaches and staying off war scares. iihat they are only scratching the surface of the thing, and that we are being driv- en to accept the elemental doctrine that the human heart must be changed before the temper of the international relations can be changed. God's book, the Bible, is the Only book in the whole world

their faithful and consistent com- memoration of this great event. Noble memories can easily die if they are kept in careless hands; but, year after year, as the small band of veterans grows by degrees smaller, the memory of these events which meant so much to our Empire's welfare and to them who took personal part therein, has been, to the credit of you vet- erans, kept green, and your seem‘. recollections of your fallen com- rades has been beautifully observed as a yearly sacrifice.

Sovereignty of God

Now, there may be some people

who might argue thus-Why make a religious ceremony of this thing at all? Why associate events in the South African war with a church service? Could these events not be more appropriately observed in a purely secular manner? Would not all the needs of the case be met by some celebration ~ at the Soldier's Monument, without cloth- ing the affair in any religious garb whatsoever? Well, that thought just gives us our first answer to the question. “What mean ye by this service?" We have brought this thing within the scope of re- ligion, and into the house of God this morning, because we feel we must, That is to say, izhe first thing we mean by this service is that it is our acknowledgement of the sovereignty of God in all our affairs, and in this event that we commemorate today among the rest. We mean by this service that we cannot close God out of His own world. ‘Ihal, in Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things. ‘rhat there ls not a spar- row that falls to the ground with- out the knowledge and control of Him who holds the waters in the hollow of His hand, and weighs the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance. We mean by this service that if we had not included religion in our commons-ration ceremonies, we should hot only be denying an article or our common religious faith, but that we should also be defrauding an instinct of the human heart. In this service we are not attempting to propom why, or how, or to what extent God was in the event which we are celebrating; but what we are doing is, we are proclaiming that all events in human history, and this event in common with the rest. are part of that vast programme of the Divine Providence, some- times so dark to us, which is eventually to work out the highest interests of humankind. We mean by this service that we dare not ignore that great truth, and that w; reverently and thankfully give God His place as He works in His mysterious way His wonders to perform. That is why we have brought this event which we cele- brate into the religious ‘ “ w where it belongs, and from which our faith will not permit us to dissociate it
