"The more you read of what has happened these last five or six years, the more you realize that we are in the midst of a world revo- lution as well as a world war, rhe more sobering your reflections on the colossal wastage of life and fortune, the more you are tempted to bleak despair or even bitter rage over mans inhumanity to man, over the Insane folly of all that Is hap- pening," stated Rev. pr. John o. Walker, Second Congregational church pastor, yesterday morning in his sermon, Tt is Better to Light Q Candle"
 pr. Walker said in part:
 And so 1t Is brought home to us that Christian people across the world are called to be Gods can- dles in this dark time. It Is easy for American Christians, so far at least, to pass by on the other side. We can use strong language on Hitler, and many do, but surely the Chinese gentleman had the right of 1t, Tt is better to light Q can- dle." The Christian gospel has no place for either hate or despair. The Christian church is called to deeds of love and mercy. The Church must uphold the Gross md It's light in the midst of every hu- man situation, no matter how dark and desperate. Tn happier times the Church may seem like c city set on e hill. Tn this dark night we may have to think of our witness in terms of the candle and the candlestick which giveth light 10 those who are of the household of faith or who can be called to And claimed for that fellowship.
 Nor need we despair of the light of the candle, the day of small things. When you visited oxford you may have noticed the Martyrs Monument to Bishops Latimer and Ridley. They suffered their martyr dom in the day of Queen Mary. The ProteStants had fallen from power and reaction had set in. The Protestant historian, John Richard Greene, takes no pain to conceal the weakness of the Protestant Pro. tectorate in the days of Edward VT. Yet he adds, But the cause which prosperity had ruined revived in the dark hour of persecution. If the Protestants had not known how to govern, they knew how to die.' A little later he tells that great story which has become 6 legend In the history of British ProteSt- antism and British liberty. They brought the two bishops out of the prison ct oxford, tied them to stakes at the place where the monument now stands, heaped the faggots about their feet and light ed the flames. It was then that Bishop Latimer heartened his com- rade, Pray the man, Master Rid- ley" he said, i've shall this day light such a candle by Gods grace in England as I trust shall never be put out" It was two men among so many martyrs but somehow the thing Bishop Latimer said can nev- CT be forgotten in England. That candle those two men lighted that day has burned on. It has been one of these mighty forces which make England what 1t is today, the

D. A. Y. UNITS IN
 ANNUAL DINNER
ArgOnne Day Observed; Veterans Hospital Man-
 ager, Mayor Scully

Representatives of military orgall- izations from all parts of the state were among those attending the an- nual Argonne Day dinner of the Disabled American Veterans at The Elton Saturday night. Among the speakers were Meyer Schwolsky, act- ing manager of the veterans hos- pital at Newington, Mayor Vincent A. scully, Rev. Francis M. O'Shea, permanent rector of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Past Department Commander John J. Mulligan and several others.
 Mir. schwolsky said that since the U. S. hospital at Newington was opened in 1881 more than l9,000 vet erans have been admitted as pa- tients. Four Waterburians are among the 276 men now under care at the institution.
 He urged that all veterans organ- izations cooperate fully in the na- tional defense program in order that liberty may be preserved.
 Father O'Shea praised the vet erans for your devotion, spirit of loyalty and sincerity, and asserted that the patriotism of service men should be a nobel example for all. Americans should offer prayers of thanks, he said, for the fact that they live in Q land where freedom of speech and thought remains.
 Mayor Scully recalled the historic importance of the Battle of the Arr gonne.
 Congressman J. Joseph Smith, who has been Ill, sent a telegram expressing regret ct having to miss his first Argonne Day dinner.
 Chapters and Auxiiiaries of the D. A. V. in A number of cities and towns were represented, along with posts of several other veterans or- ganizations.

Children'S Day

In 1888 the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church designated
the second Sunday in June as Chill
dren's day and that has been the
day accepted by many denomina-
tions. Several years before that
date Presbyterians, Methodists,
Baptists and other denominations
had been observing Children's day
and a few years before that time,
about 1868, the General Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
hid given recognition to the day.
From almost the beginning of
American history pastors devoted
certain Sundays to special services
for children and early in the Nine
teenth century Sunday schools were
organized. From these services the
churches gradually came to deserve
Children's day.
