The Battle of Flanders goes
down in history as a German VIC
tory of first magnitude, but its
tragic aftermath is writing also a
new and glowing page in the an
nails of Franco-British armies.
Against all odds, a substantial
part of the French, British and
unsurrendered elements of the Bel
gian forces caught in the Flanders
trap has already escaped to and
through flood-moated Dunkerque.
This was made possible by as gal
liant a rear-guard action as history
records.
London estimates that perhaps a
third of the British troops which

FLOWER SUNDAY
OBSERVED HERE
Fitting Commentary Ser
mon by DR.. Walker at
Second Church

1--WE are judged by our gardens,
or at very least by our love of Gar
dens" stated Rev. DIR. John G.
Walker, pastor Of the Second Con-
gregational church in his sermon
yesterday morning entitled, "Roses
in His Heart. Yesterday was cele-
brated as "Flower Sunday" in that
church.
DR.. Walker said: II believe that
1t was custom In years past to dec
crate the church in this fashion on
Children's day and that some of won
have your memories of such floral
displays in other years. But whether
we are reviving an old custom OF
beginning new one I hope that
some who come this morning will
carry with them through the years
as beautiful and as fragrant men,
DRY of this service as I carry of the
one attended those many years
since. These are our Gardens on
Parade and 1t is our fervent hope
that these flowers may remind us all
Of the beauty Of holiness, the prom
Use of the springtime, both Of the
earth and OF the soul, the gracious
glory Of Gods creation, the triumph
OF life and beauty over darkness and
cold and death. The gist Of the
sermon this morning is not some
thing you hear, 1t is something you
see and experience, not alone with
mortal eye but with the vision OF the
SOUL All that I can say this morn
ing is merely by way Of commentary
Beauty. color, power. creation are
with the Eternal God and in the
last analysis these are His flowers
and this is His revelation. These
flowers are part Of His revealed
message Of creation and power"
