The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-11-11

marked the hour that war actiVi- ties ceased. :.
 Wallace J. Inglis, chairman of the honor roll exercises, introduc- ed Robert F. Birt, master Of cere- monies. The invocation was pro- nounced and a wreath was placed on the honor roll by commanders of the veteran organizations.
 Ex-Mayor William Sandland, as in the past, made short speech followed by an address by Rabpi Isadore Breslau, who also pro- nounced benediction.
 The main talk was given by Judge T. V. Heyer and at the con clusion of his talk, taps were sounded and echoed by another bugler from the opposite end or Library Park.
 Judge Meyers speech follows:
 Thirteen years ago today rom a chateau in France the order went out "cease firing" and bugles from the Vosges to the sea sound- ed what we all fervently hoped would be the death kneel or war.
 To-day the theater of anxiety again is world wide but wait-a voice comes out of the nowhere saying I am the voice of the spirit of the unknown soldier" DO not think that you do honor to me unless you keep faith with me. l departed from life with smile upon my face and music In my heart, secure in the belief that this frightful holocaust of 13 years ago was "a war to end war, that my sacrifice would lead to better kind of world, with more liberty for all people with freedom rom the hatreds which had led to all of this, with wider sense or unity among men.
 "You promised to carry on." In these days of perplexity have you listened to the prophets Of gloom or have you kept the faith-have you kept the courage of the brave and the will of the optomist?
 Hear me. The dangers con- fronting you today, though great, are by no means greater than have faced the world in the past. When was Christianity in greater danger than when Voltaire' was assaulting 1t with that potent weapon-satire- which is more deadly than the dull unmarshalled doubt of our day!
 w IltH Wao thAo ohNSSN more in danger or confronted With a graver peril than when the issue of slavery almost destroyed it's further existence The history of an advancing civilization is the his tory of a crisis perpetually faced and mastered, it's fortunes becom- ing more critical and not less with every step of the advance.
 ofyiIi1at;An uhiph has m crisis to face is a contradiction in terms. An individual who. has no cares or worries has no place on earth. They are contributing noth- ing to the common cause.
 Put on your armor, shake off your cowardly fears, cease being comfort loving person and face these dangers that confront you with faith in your Creator, faith in your government officials, patience in your appraisal of their acts, con- fidence in your business, economic and social order af things. Stop this destructive thinking. Think and act constructively. Again I say return to the faith of your fathers, have faith in your children that they may have faith in you. Help the needy.
 Hear me again. Do as I have told you if you do my Body shall not have been given in vain; fail me and I accuse"
