"As the winter gives place to
spring, so shall our sorrow make
room for the joy we feel when we
think of the perennial blessedness
which awaits the righteous beyond
the grave. In that land of unending
happiness age shall put off its in
frmities the sorrowing ones cease
to weep, the lost ones restored to the
arms of affection and loved ones re-
united forever. We look forward to
the grave and see it the gate OF inn
mortality. We mourn our dead but
with a hope in God and future hap
piness.
we rejoice also that the heroes
Of the last war proved themselves
worthy children OF the heroes oil

names will be found among those Of
elder sons of patriotic fame who
fought and bled for the same up
righteous cause.
We pray today for our departed
heroes at the altar OF highest sacri-
tce; to Him who looketh upon the
earth and maketh it tremble; who
toucheth the mountains and they
smoke; before whose face the rocks
shall melt as wax and who hath
measured the waters of the earth in
the hollow Of his hand and weighed
the mountains in scales.
"The thought Of a nation, says
Able Balo, lives in those who govern.
the blood Of a nation courses in the
veins OF its soldiers and seamen. the
heart of a nation beats in the heart
OF the people; the Imagination of a
nation is expressed in its literature
but the soul of a nation resides in
the prayerful supplications of
people who realize that all strength.
light, liberty and virtue are gifts
rom above.
With this inspiring thought let
us offer our heartfelt prayers to the
God Of nations for the eternal repose
Of their souls and for peace and
prosperity OF our beloved country.
Amen"
Rabbi Barroway Speaks
Rabbi Moses Barroway, OF the
Temple of Truth, next delivered an
address expressive of the hope for
/ peace
In this sacred hour. when men
and women in every hamlet in the
land assemble to honor the memory
of them who made the supreme sac
rifice, we crave the sublime convic-
ton that the deaths and sufferings
and tears will not have been exper-
fenced without purpose. We crave
the belief that the heroism of those
who entered the valley Of the shadow
Of death will have had as its ulti-
mate end the ideal of removing the
cancerous diseases of mankind
which have impeded its orderly pur-
suits, and the vision Of peoples liv-
ing under their own vine and fig
trees with none to make them afraid
1t is the voices OF those who fell in a
tragedy unparalleled in history thai
speak to us from across the chasm
Of eternity in the warning of these
moments OF memorial and reflection
in the warning lest we forget tht
implications of the ideal and visior
which Wtalized their heroism, an,
lest we permit that vision to perish
with their earthly remains.
