DAY
Those natiQns which Duce were bound together
with tips stronger than those which bind even the
strongest and most «»daring human friendships;
those nations which stood shoulder to shoulder
throughout the most terrible period in the history
of mankind—the band that was named thè Allies
—will tomorrow celebrate another anniversary of
the end of the titanic oonflict.,*
Just eight years ago at 11 o ’clock tomorrow
morning the guns which tfor more than four years
had growled and thundefed and hurled death and
destruction — destruction both spiritual and ma­
terial — beyond the power of man to compute, went
ailent. The prayers of a world in agony had been
heard. Civilization had been saved.
While it is fitting to celebrale the day with
merrymaking, by the joyful commingling of the
men who shared each with Ihe other the hardships
of those ugly days, and lo ìecobnt again the deeds
in-which they participated, it is well that we pause
in our rejoicing to thank the Giver of all perfect
gifts for the peace'that has endured since the arm­
istice was signed, and to pray that never aguin
shall the human race have to pass through' such
travail.
Nor should we fail to remember those who re­
sponded to the call to ¿mis and did not return*
Wherever they may sleep»-under the poppied fields
of Flanders, in the peaceful God’s* Acres of the
beloved homeland, or at the bottom of the seas, let’s
not forget them and their sacrifice tomorrow.*
Too, it would be well to give good thoughts,
thoughts of love and peace to those comrades who
dwell in the lands that jfuffered more insterai in­
jury than did we in America, and to hope that the
time is not far distant when all their hurts may be
healed. ’ Also, let us bear in mind with love and
charity those whom we called our enemies« eight
years ago today. They have suffered much, and
shall continue to suffer for many years. But per­
haps we can ease that suffering by sending out to
them thoughts of forgiveness and well being.
