Clough's Sermon Community Re Remembrance ervice _ A most timely address was delivered by Rev. J. C. Clough at the Community Remembrance Day. Service last Sun- day. We give herewith some extracts. His text was: "And to guide our feet in the waya of peace". Luke 1:79. "There 'are people who think that It purges the nations. That many great inventions come out of war, It calls forth heroism, sacri- 'fice. But to approve of. war for that cause'is like burning a building to the risk of the lives of those that live in it, in order to eall for the heroism of those who wish to save the inmates, No I think was is definitely evil, It is not sent by.God, but cones through man's own wickedness --yours and mine, ] 'Listen to the report of a" deputy- chief constable of a county in England in which there are many impotent national centies: "The eXperience- of "the last war most serious effect upon the problems | facing the police in maintaining law [and order, national unity and morale. | "¢ My experience in the last war was that hasty marriages and absent husbands for instance, had a disast p trous effect. Homes were neglected, children were allowed to grow up with- out discipline or parental control, drinking among women became more prevalent, and in the grip of events there was a widespread lowering of moral standards.' "At. the same time immediately after" the war, law and order were dif ficult to maintain, and the general un- rest coupled with the reduced -wages and unemployment, might have easily ended in revolution, as indeed they did in several other European coun- tries." But war has come again in spite of hopes and. in spite of enormous sacri- fice, "The people are asking--"'Why 1" "I dori't pretend to give a politi¢al or economical diagnosis or point the way out or even suggest any, But I .do think that there have been certain moral {sues in this "whole situation that we have been particularly blind to, and which it they are not faced or settled, economics, politics, or industry or any branch 'of society or national life t really function - "What we have failed to see is not that peace failed us but that we failed peace. * We have nevér really thought * shows beyond doubt that war has a - that peace required attending to-- «© watching, being on the qui vive to guard.

The first of the. deries of Amatenr Nights sponsored by the Lions Club was held on Wednesday evening of last week and was not only a very sue- cessful opening to the series but af- forded something new in entertain- ment which. was 'enjoyed by the audience which filled the Town Hall in spite of the wind and sleet which made it a disagreeable night to venture out, if loud and long applause-is a symbol of appreciation, When the curtain parted it revealed a semi-circle of aspirants to fame arranged on either side of Lion Howard Lilly, who occupied an arm- chair in the centre, in the vole of 'Major Bowes", as follows: Vocalists--Ross Dowson, Rody .Hay- den, Luella Ploughman, Beth Griflin and Ngyine Stewart, Doreen Thomp- son, Flora Kerr (Elinor Kerr accom- panist); Floyd Hughes vocalist "®iid Saxophonist;, Bob Allin, Harold and Grant Bentley, instrumental trio; Irene and Doris Mulligan, tap dancers.

The jovial Doctor and his pals got an enthusiastic reception and Hooey had to clog to stop the riot.

Mr, Cox: put his banjo to one side and assayed a violin solo, He made a. flourish with his bow, shouldered or chitined his instru- ment and the music flowed forth and as the tempo quickened he nearly had convulsions but the music continued to flow forth. This was something of a surprise to those in the audience who were quick enough to notice he was fiddling with the back of the bow in- stead of the horsehair side, but it was not till the artist paused to chalk his cue, pardon, I mean to resin his bow, while the music continued to flow (orth, or fifth, in marvelous melody, thut-the audience realized -they had a first class mystery on hand. Chief of Detectives St. John. was_ called and soon had Sam Collis under arrest for concealing music behind the sceres, He was arvdigned before Bowes who sentenced him to come out in the open and play it all over again. Cox was let off with-a warning. The judges had in the meantime held the stop watch on the applause, which was the medium by' which the awards were made. The audience did the judging. In fact one of the judges admitted he "did not Know anything about music and thought a B flat was a room iran apartment house. ~ Each contestant had to again come forward and this time offer one line of his or her number and then the Major put it up to the audience.

SAMUEL FARMER, Be Generous to Collectors for the Red Cross Rev. J. C, Clough's Selon The Archbishop of York in a nation- al broadeast, 'There is a widespread recognition' that we carry a share of world." . "Most of us have yet to learn that peace is something that each has to work for and create. It does not come of its own accord." "Peace is a personal matter. Men have tried .to.make peace when they have not got the seeds of it in their own hearts. This summer I met a man who had been leader of London's 420,000 unemployed. He had been a pacifist and a communist. - Used to often -speak from pacifist platforms; but it had little weight with his family young son came out with words. of wisdom when he said 'If you want tq make peace in the world you have got to make peace in the home! And that is one thing that we have ignored. Another labor leader made trouble until he saw that he could not bring peace amt harmony "ih the labour world and between labour and capital until he had it himself. He was having a lunch un year ago with a pro- minent diplomat who. was working with all the knowledge, and wisdom and experience that was at his com- figure, the talk became personal, During the course of this part of the conversation-the diplomat happened to remark to the labour man: Yéu know Bill T haven't seen my wife in seven months. We couldn't. get on so we separated. Also today I saw one of my relatives that I haven't spoken who are you to try to give peace to the nations of the world and you have not got. it in your own heart for the members of your-own family ? But isn't that true of us all? Isn't that why we have var? Individually and collectively we have not learned to make peace with all the people who live along side of us. Then with selfishness gogs the un- willingness to repent; to say I am sorry If we want peace we still want it on our terms with a saving of our face; never mind the enemy. We are so cheap in so many ways.
