was far too small to seat the crc' .ke
that poured in long before the ASss
in honor of the service men W, %eg,n,
The children gave up their places to the
people and stood in ranks like the sol
diers they love, and then people were
standing as far as the sidewalk, cndeav-
oring to catch a glimpse Of the children
inside
At 1880 the march started by the
Knights of Columbus, under their Grand
knight Owens, coming up the middle
aisle and taking the place of honor as
signed to them. Every one Of the coun-
ell was present. Then st. Monica's chill
dren moved down the middle aisle The
American flag carried by a young man,
was the first flag, then a st. Monica Sun
day school banner, then the altar boys
in surpliees and cassoclis, then the boys
carrying the French and Italian flags.
After them followed the little girls, in
caps and gowns of red, white and blue,
bearing the American flag The roll of
honor was loving carried by Corporals
White and Gregoire. A pole of stream
ers was lifted aloft by little miss and
the ribbons were carried by u little tots.
-Four young ladies guarded the roll of
honor by the American flag. The young
ladies came next, carrying British, Ital-
ian, French and American colors
The procession, numbering nearly 400,
,1,9uI .,,1y L., 4
ior choir, all dressed in white, with
sashes and crowns OF our national colors.
After marching through the side aisles
and back by the middle aisle, every aisle
was filled with the children, and on
reaching the main aisle of the church,
Miss Loranger, who had been playing a
grand march, began America" and all
with one voice made the welkin ring.
The boys marched into the sanctuary,
filling every available space. and the
girls and boys sboS-d on the outside step,
lifting the flags from shoulder to shoul-
der. The others filed around the side
aisles. All sang La Marseilaise,'
Keep the Home Fires Burning The
Roll Call" and "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." Solos were beautifully rendered
by James Bennett, Miss Louise Canton
and Mr. Canton, with full chorus by all
the senior members of the choir.
Rev. FIR. Mckenna read the names of
st. Monica's heroes, and an eloquent ad
dress was most ably given by Rev. FIR.
Lynch Of Northfeld. He carried a spell
bound audience back through the ages
on and on to the present time, depicting
in masterful language the causes Of the
awful carnage and bloodshed of past
wars and especially the war of the last
four years. He taught his listeners the
reasons of war and how peace alone is
found in obeying God the Supreme Rul-
er, and loving family and social ties be-
cause they are the brotherhood of God.
Although the address was lengthy, time
seemed too short to those who were
listening and all We're sorry when the
reverend father closed this long-to be
remembered address.
The Dies Irae' was sung in memory
of our dead heroes. Benediction of the
blessed sacrament followed and this
great event Of St. Moniea's closed by
the singing of Holy God.
The knights of Columbus, who assist
ed the pastor, Rev P. NJ, Mckenna, in
making this affair so perfect in every de-
tail, deserve the highest praise.
