Dennis Obe Cinegsa & Biuine. Very impressive were the services held in the Weston Methodist Church on Sunday morning last in thanksgivâ€" ing for the return ‘of her boys from the ‘battlefields of Flanders, the trainâ€" ing camps of England and the hosâ€" pitais and prison confines of the eneâ€" my. In commemoration of the falien the permanent honor roll of the church was unveiled and placed inside the altar rail as a fitting and silent tribute to «the boys who had given their all. Flowers, of which red and white formed the predominating color, and the grand old Union Jack, formed. effective decorations for the occasion. The auditorium was filled with peoâ€" ple who had come to pay homage to her heroes and following the Doxology all repeated in unison the Lord‘s FPrayer, then raised their vorces in that grand old hymn, "O God Our Help in Ages Past." The pastor then led in prayer, laying before the Father the burden and heartache of so many hear‘ts, which seemed so much harder to bear now, when otheg hearts were brightened by the homecoming of lovâ€" ed ones and which had seemed a cruel sacrifice to be called. upon. They hadâ€"been made to suffer because one man through egotism ‘and selfishness hid tried to dominate the . whole world, had put himself instead of God as master and ruler of the universe, declaring that unto him should . all men kneel. ‘They had seen their boys go forth in all the strength, vigor and courage of their young manhood to overthrow the autocrat who threatenâ€" edjthe downfall of their beloved counâ€" try and home. Six of her sons had failed to return: Stafford Pritchard, to whom the privilege of crossing the water had been denied, and his body rested across the river; Arthur Long, George Stanley, Ernest Witty, William J. Rae, who slept in Flanders Fields beneath the poppies, and â€" Wilfrid Pearen, who had come |unharmed through the conflict, to. fall and sleep on English soil. In the address he outlined the ideals for which the boys had stood, emphasizing the fact that these things had brought the boys inâ€" to a closer toue with their Heavenly FEather, and the boys who had returnâ€" edâ€"had a higher conception of the brotherhood of man and the love of The memorial services held last Sunday morning in the local churches were of a particularly interesting character. Each pastor spoke reverâ€" ently and with a deep regret and symâ€" pathy for the bereaved members of his charge in the sorrow that had shadowed*the homes of many during the past few years. He also sounded the note of thanksgiving which dwelt in the hearts of all for the cessation of strife and the safe return of so many of the boys.. Music appropriate to the occasion was given by the difâ€" ferent choirs, while each church was suitably «decorated with flowers and military «emblems. 3 MEMORIAL SERVICES AND UNVEILING OF HONOR ROLL Prisoner in Germany 5 months PRICES MODERATE The Veteran Butchers F.

We as a people were only fulfilling a duty and a privilege in gathering together to cffer prayer for the intervention of a kind and overâ€"ruling Providence in bringing to a close the carnage and strife of the past four years. .Yet a warning note must be sounded, we must not forget in our rejoicing that the boys need our sympathy and help toâ€"day. To them it is a serious probâ€" lem getting back to civil life and its habits.‘ To the business man, the world‘s commercial istanding may be ‘a source of unjust profits, perhaps even to profiteering, and it behooves @aich one to examine themselves and find out if they are living up to the ideals for which these boys sacrificed all In the absence of Dr. Chariton, who was unavoidably detained, Mr. A. L. Campbelil performed the sacred rite of uncovering the honor roll, and as the flag fell to the floor the solemn strains of ‘"The Dead March from Saul" rendered by the! organist, Mr. Reid, floated on the air, the audience stood with bowed heads. The choir rendered very effectively "No Shadâ€" ows Yonder." Miss Gorrie of Toronto gave a couple of numbers in her usual manner, ‘ "Flanders Fields" in which she voiced with pathos ‘and entreaty the author‘s plea that, we at home break not faith with the boys, else they! who had given soâ€" much could not rest ee‘n though the spot be flowâ€" er strewn. Her last nunrber "Come Â¥e Disconsolate‘" fell as sweet incense on the saddened hearts, pointing out the only road for rest and peace. The singing of the National. Anthem brought to a close one, of the most solâ€" emn and yet helpful services ever held within the church walls, it being a prayer for the living and a beneâ€" diction for the déad. ; Miss Beatrice M.

Nearly 2000 persons were assembled at this great service. All returned home with a feeling that there was something else in this world greater tHan satisfying one‘s selfish desires and ambitions. All felt that the whole service was a great tribute to our galâ€" lant boys who lie far away from home and will not return. It was a service that touched the hearts of everyone who was present and called all to asâ€" sume their responsibility as a result of the®great sacrifice made by these men. This service was like all other works undertaken by the town during the past four years. It was well done,. The Weston Horticultural Soâ€" ciety accomplished something that will long remain in the memories of the citizens of Weston as a fine accomâ€" plishment. The officers of this society under the leadership of the secretary, J. M. Pearen, arranged all the details that spelt success to the undertaking. The address given by Col. Wood was one that will be long remembered. It was an appeal that everyone presâ€" Ent could not help but take home and think about.. The more: one thinks of it the greater force it has. It was one of the finest addresses delivered here in many a day, and well worth reproduction in full. . We regret that space does not permit of verbatim reâ€" port. We will endeavor in next week‘s issue to give a detailed summary of Col. Wood‘s splendid message. The day was a little cloudy and looked at times as though the service would have to be held in the church. However, it turned out very fine and when the hour of seven o‘clock struck there were nearly 2000 persons seated around the stands, erected for the choir and the band stand. Every seat was occupied and as many more were standing about. The choir was comâ€" posed of sixty members from the difâ€" feérent churches in‘ town, and also some who have not been singing in any choir. ‘They were seated on a specially constructed platform back of the speakers. On the platform in the front "were seated the Reve Mr., Macâ€" kay, who was the chairman of the evening, Col. Wood, Senior Chaplain for Military District No. 2, Toronto, who was the speaker of the evening; the Rev. R. Sims, who read the openâ€" ing sentences; Rev. Robertson, who read the psalm; Rev. Rodwell, who read the scripture lesson; Rev. Stewâ€" art, who made the prayer, and Mr. Ruthven Macdonald, who gave two beautiful selections . that made the service more impressive. The music was supplied by the West Toronâ€" to Band.. They with the choir, under the directorship of Mr. Geo. Sainsbury, gave the finish to the whole service. The selection of the hymns, the music, the prayers, the scripture lesson, the psalm, the opening sentences, were all well chosen, and very well read and sung. The closing with the last. post was very touching and: recalled to the many veterans who turned out in full foree and lined the front seat many a sadâ€" scene in the land over there. It«was blown from a distance and told its message of the call home with unerring notes. / The floral display, arranged on the front of the platform was very fine. It showed that the Westonâ€" Horticulâ€" tural Society has accomplished a wonâ€" derful work in Weston in scattering the seed to develop these beautiful flowers. After‘ the close of the memorial service the band and choir rendered a very fine musical program. It was a real treat to hear the choir perform as they did. The singing of the Halâ€" lelujah Chorus fromâ€" The Messiah was good. As one thinks of the short practices, it is all the more wonderful and speaks well for the talent we have in this line. The West Toronto Band‘s work was splendid. Both parts of the program under the baton of Mr. Geo. Sainsbury was worthy the hearty and generous applause that was given by all. i With the splendid accomplishment of the Union Choir on Sunday last there comes before all the idea that a choral Society should be formed in this town at once. The talented . choir showed what they could do on three practices. With a few more they could master some of the difficult oraâ€" torical compositions. One of the great drawbacks to such a society, however, is generally the leaders. Weston, howâ€" ever, is\ again very fortunate. We have in our midst a real _ conductor. He demonstrated to all present on Sunday that he is most capable as a teacher and conductor of choir or band. This opens up the way for the formation of a good live society and some effort ught to be made to ensure the present choir forming the nucleus for the new society.
