NORTHERN AND CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA'S NEWSPAPER Some fortv ex-service men. head cd by the Prince Rupert Boys' Banlj under direction of Bandmaster CM P. Balagno, paraded yesterday morning from the Canadian Legion building to St. Andrew's Anglican Cathedral where an Armistice service was held. The marshal of the parade was William Ranee, president ' of the Canadian Legion. Very Rev. James B. Olbson. dean j of the Cathedral, preached an ap-i proprlate sermon. The choir sanj the anthem "What Are These?'' and Buglar Ranee sounded the Last Post In honor of the glorious dead. The hvmns were "O Kins: of Kings. Whose Reign of Old Hath Been Everlasting." (processional'. 'Ood of Our Fathers Known or, Old." "For All the Saint Who1, From Their Labors Rest." and "O Ood Our Help In Ages Past." ' The lessons were read' by the Lord Bishop of jOaledpnUhgtflrC belne from Isaalah'lL. and th5 Second from Revelations VII. Tin BIshon also conducted the closing nrayer and pronounced the Bene diction. The choir was under the leadership of A. J. Lancaster and Peter Lien presided at the organ. The Dean gave the sermon and the text was from Romans VIII.. 12.: "Brethern. We Are Debtors." Today, said Dean Gibson, people were thlnklne of those who had made the great sacrifice between 1914 and 1918. to those "who we had loved lone since but lost a while." It had been a happy thought of the designer of the cen- vtpah when he had Inscribed hereon the words "Lett We For-t." There was Indeed a real dan ger of peoole forgetting what the men who had laid down their lives had done. It wa thirteen years Ince 'the Armistice had been signed and. with the oaMlng of time, there was an Inclination for the memory of their suffering to pas awav and perUh. Men of every creed and condition that existed, men whose home were from the fnwen north to the Muthermost boundaries of the land j from the Atlantic to the Pacific necans had been amon those tv Klve un their lives. Their pluck and perserverence had been mar vellous. venous, Bv uv all an rule ruies ui 01 wariare amc. S. V. Cox.
