THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1930 WEEKLY NEWS NOTES FROM THE UNIONVILLE DISTRICT FAILURE attended game in Mrs. M There was a large attendance at the Y.P.S. of the United Church on Tuesday night. Those who were not present missed a. real treat, when Mr.‘ Jas. ,Stewart gave a very inspiring and also patriotic address in connect- ion with Armistice Day. We were also favoured with a violin selection by Miss Margaret Trench. Next Monday evening another one of the usual good programmes has been preâ€" pared when Mr. Bowes will be the speaker. Impressive memorial services were held in Richmond Hill on Sunday afâ€" ternoon to mark the anniversary of the Armistice. There was a large crowd in attendance and the floral tri- butes were placed on the memorial by the village, the Women’s Institute, the L.O.L., the Veterans and others. Reeve J. Lunau presided and taking part in the services were, Rev. G. E. Coulter, Rev. A. E. Lunau, Rev. J. A. Ferguson and Rev. L. C. Secrett. In delivering the address of the after- noon Rev. Secrett paid tribute to the glorious memory of those who paid the supreme sacrifice in the Great War. He reviewed the story of the mobilization, how from the farms, fac. tories and offices in every section of our land the young men of Canada, her ablest and best answered the call to defend right and fight to make this country a better place for their child- ren and loved ones. Some came back, some maimed and broken in body and spirit and found conditions not so much like they fought for after all They might be inclined to look back‘ and see only the futility of it all. Inl such services as these we are not ex- tolling war, nobody hated war more‘ than the soldiers. Soldiers do not make Wars; they finish wars Which are caused by politicians and big busi- ness interests. The annual observan- ce of Armistice Day is to keep alive the spirit of remembrance. During the war all wanted to forget. “Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, and smile, smile, smile” was a favor- ite song of the troops. Toâ€"day we want to rememberâ€"“Lest We Forget” is uppermost in our minds. Young People’s Society E. Heimrich, Pastor 10 a. m.â€"Sunday School. Unionvilleâ€"ll a. m.
