Here
and
Now

I see that we are celebrating
Armistice Day as usual this
year.
Twenty-three years ago. on
Nov. IL, 1919. / was in the
English city of Derby.
The people were so devoutly
thankful for the arrival OF
everlasting peace that at IL
o'clock that day the entire city
came TO a stop.
Even downtown, at the busy
central square, all traffic
halted.
The people lined the square
with hats off. and stood in ST.
lence, with bowed heads. for
two minutes. IT was touching,
awe-inspring sight. that first an
niversary of the armistice.
There was only one discordant
note. Behind us we heard two
pairs of heavy leather heels
Gathering along the sidewalk,
paying no attention at all to the
solemn ceremony. -----
So we looked over our out
ragged shoulders to see what
kind of people would desecrate
such a patriotic moment.
They were two booted veter-
ans of the war, still in their
army uniforms.
The sound of army boots was
a better symbol for the future
than our two pitiful minutes OF
silence. But we didn't know it..
Now. we know--and yet we
still celebrate Armistioe Day.
and pay tribute to a half-done
task.

The war is bringing the church
closer TO the people and some Of
the discrepancies between what the
churches professed and what
church members did are being
washed away in the deeper under
standing Of what Christianity real
ly teaches. In other words. what
the churches ask your children TO
believe today will present fewer
conflicts with their daily living and
natural instincts than the cruel ten
cts Of an earlier day often did.
The church viii teach them to be
happy, not fearful; truly generous
rather than hypocritically sacrih-
cial; and viii offer valuable expert
ence In community social life as
well as a quiet place for religious
thinking.
But the parents chief response
bility In providing their children
with spiritual values Is to stress
these In their living as well as
their teaching. For In these days
when we know SO well that all ma
terial possessions can be lost We
must build our children's satisfac-
tions on inward things-they are
all we can be sure of handing on
to them. II we bring them up to take
pride in facing life fearlessly.
II we cultivate awareness OF beauty
in little things and in small acts OF
kindness, their lives win not be
barren. Nor can this capacity for
simple, honest joyous living be taxi
