The hymn, "God of Our Fath- ers,"' preceded the responsive reading from Psalm 91. Major Florence Williams of the Salvation Army read the scriptural message from Ecclesiasticus 44. The ad- dress of the day was delivered by Rev. G. Cameron Quigley, pastor of St. Paul's United Church. Fine Sermon 'In a protracted and inspiring sermon Mr. Quigley adopted an appealing approach. He invited the audience first to try to, fath- cm the sorrow of the bereaved in the loss of loved ones in war. Then he had a word for the living veterans who at this time particu- larly dwelt on the memories of fallen comrades. With this back- ground the speaker appealed ta others with a remote experience !n the wrath of war to take faith and courage out of these abiding thoughts to help win a lasting peace. The concluding message was di.-e *rected to the young people pres. *ent, many of whomn were just be- eginrîing ta learn the real meaning of the sacrifices entailed througl war. Pointing out that democracy gand freedomn were flot won ina i day the speaker pointed out that -to value and protect these bless- ings a sure path was open, the guidance of God flot ta be feit for *a day on the occasion of remem- ibrance to the fallen but fromn day ta day throughout life. A prayer was offered by Rev. iJ. E. Griffith and prayers of com- fort for the bereaved and suffer- ing, for King and country preced- ed the closing hymn, "For Ahl the Saints Who From Their Labours Rest."

Preceded by the Bowman- ville Bond and led by President M. Breslin, the veterans marched ta the church ta occupy seats reserv- ed centrally before the pulpit. Accompanying them were the Wo- men's Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion. The service was in charge of Rev. J. E. Griffith, B. A., Minister at Trinity, and the choral ar- rangements and hymns were most appropriate for the services. The congregation was honored highly in having as guest preacher, Rev. W. W. Burnett, M-C., B.A., Chap- lain, Sth N.B. Hussars and Sec- retary of Pensions, a distinguish- ed comrade wounded in the late war and stili convale3cent. Rev.

Brilliant Services ai si, Pal's Feuture the 1131h Anniversary Overflow congregations at bath morning and evening services marked the interest of the entire community in the ll3th Anniver- sary of St. Paul's United Church, Bowmanville, on Sunday, Nov. 9.1 Rev. G. Cameron Quigley, minis- ter of the church, presided for the morning services and in the ev- ening Rev. J. E. Griffith, minister af Trinity United Church, had the honor of officiating. The entire program of worsbip and music became especially note- worthy through the participation Of twa distinguisbed visitors. Rev. jE. S. Lautenslager, B. A., former Padre, R.C.A.F. and pastor of Howard Park United Church, To- ronto, preached brilliantly at bath services aiid the congregations heard witb great appreciation the solos rendered by one of Canada's fînest tenors, Mr. Ronald Stewart, Toronto, wbo was featured in the Toronto press the following day for his contributioni at the Royal Ontario Museum Theatre. Much credit is due Mrs. Reta Dudley, arganist, and Mr. D. A. McGregor, choir leader, for the splendid choral offerings arrag- ed for the occasion. At the even- ing services Miss D. Creasser very splendidly rendered the solo in the anthem "Sun of My Soul." The offertory at both services was presided over by war veterans of the cburch. Mr. Stewart who is well. known in Bowmanville through bis work in the Tuxis movement, chose as solos for the morning worship, "Open the Gates of the Temple," and "When They Ring the Golden Belîs for You and Me." His of - ferings in the evening were "The Penitent" and "Trust in Him." Rev. Mr. Lautenslager spoke ai the morning services on "TFhe Re- lation of Thanksgiving ta Cour- age." To stress bis subject he traced the story of St. Paul being arrested and bis long journey ta Rame and the months of waiting in prison for trial by Caesar, tak- ing the text from Acts: "On see- ing them St. Paul thanked God and. took courage," saying that during bis journey and imprison- Ment he was comforted by friends and took courage. He likened St. Paul to us as in- dividuals and said there was great need for us ta renew aur courage and faith in God. People of today being beset with difficulties, most- ly within, must remember ta be thankful as they are living in a land of plenty wbile others are starvirtg-we should give thanks ta God for the three meals a day and bave courage ta carry on. Rev. Lautensiager emphasized the fact that we are apt ta forget ta express aur thanks ta God as we are continually worrying about aur own problems of employment and security, forgetting advance- ment-and we ail experience the time when we become discourag- ed and fed up with everything in general, while if we remember ta thank God for the little things aur courage is restored by Thanks- giving. In the evening the visiting min- ister preached on "What God Re- quires of Us Today." The speak- er stressed the fact thot the time has corne that we should aIl ask ourselves this question.

The Lions Club meeting Monday eyening wos staged as an obser.- vance of Remembrance Day with the executive of Bowmanville Ca- nadian Legion as guests of honor. Further ta carry out the theme of remembrance a very noted speak- er and comrade-in-arms, Rev. Harold Balsdon, Toronto, deliver- ed a powerful address which com- manded marked attention for is tribute ta the fallen was a rousing challenge ta the living ta take re- newed faith and courage in these uncertain times ta assure that the sacrifices of thase wbo sleep shaU not have been mode in vain. The Spea1Ùer Lion Lu Dewell wo is also Secretary of the Bowmanville Branch, Canadian Legion, intr- duced the speaker. Born in Wales, Harold Balsdon came ta Canada in 1927, graduated in Arts and Thea- logy at MeMaster University, serv- ed as a captain in the Canadian Army in the late war in Italy and on the western front, stayed on for a time as Principal of the Church School at Amsterdam be- fore coming home ta his pastorate, St. Clair Ave. Baptist Church. Subject Courage Captain Balsdon s p o k e on "Courage" and described some as- pects of this virtue seen as a youth olong the Wehsh coast where life- boat crews braved danger ta res- cue people aboard stricken ships. At times wben a storm raged and the tide was adverse, dcath was the prospect, but the motta was: '"We have ta go out but we do not have ta came bock." That qaul- îty of courage was the very quai- ity inherent in the breasts of youth who went into tbattie to win bock freedom. Individual Appeal Upon this theme the speaker carried bis audience into high con- sideration of the individual cour- age needed in the search for peace and security at this Most fateful time. He beld as foulish the old precc'-3t, "Do as the Romans Do." Neyer mosquerade in false colora and try ta 'have courage in idiv- idual convictions. With apt quo- tations and vivid examples Capt. Balsdon fashioned with great elo- quence o picture of what courage could mean in individual living. Describing the miseries seen among people abroad during war, the speaker suggested thot we should thank God that Canada 'iad remained almost untouched in the physical destruction wrought by war. But with thoughts sol- emnly centred on sacrifices mode by the youth who fell ta keep Canada wholc and free we should rededicate ourselves ta the prin- ciples of courage so vitally neeci- ed at this moment. Main Precepts Take new courage to be ur- selves. Take new courage ta be- .îeve in aur country. These, said the speaker, rest upon one sure foundation; the courage ta believe n God and ta practice the Golden Rule.
