blessed are the Peacemakers, for
they shall be called the children of
God" If | should select a key
word for my sermon tonight, it
would probably be Peace, said the
speaker Launching into his sermon,
Chaplain Hearn said America stood
for peace; that the World war cost
the nations of the world over 400
billion dollars; ten million lives lost,
another ten million more crippled,
manned, blinded, and many whose
memories have not yet returned since
those gruesOme days on the battle
fields. All are still paying the price
twenty-one years after the Armis-
tice. To grasp the vast amount of
money is beyond the comprehension
of most of us, so the speaker pro-
ceeded to break down these figures,
showing the congregation just what
could be done with this amount of
money. What is the cost of war?
What is the cost of peace? Reaching
our majority we should profit from
former mistakes. Turning to the jul |
nior choir on the platform, Chaplain |
Hearn said it was not fair to handi-
zap the lives of these children with |
costs of war. The Le- /
