Churches Plan Union
Service on V-Day
Have Made Announcement OF
Proposed Meeting When Hos
tilitieS Cease

In order that the people of Oak
land and vicinity may be assisted in
observing the occasion of the ccssa-
ton of hostilities in Europe more
fittingly than in boistcrous cclcbra-
ton, the Protestant pastors have
planned for a community service of
praise and thanksgiving. Nothing is
known. of course, as to when this
will be, but announcement is made
now so that people will be informed
as to what they may do when the
occasion arises. If the news arrives
after four P. NJ. the service will be
held the following evening. The
churches will, however, be open for
prayer and meditation from the
moment news comes, as will be an
nounced by the ringing of their bells,
This V-Day service will be COM
munity-widc, for everyone who de-
Sircs to publicly thank God for the
successful end of the European phase
of the war The Methodist church
has been selected for it, and it is
hoped that the music may be fur
nished by community chorus made
up of all available voices. All local
pastors will participate.
In giving out this announcement,
the pastors make the following state
ment: at is hoped that the celebra-
ton of the end of the European war
will have fundamentally different
character from that which marked
the end of World War |. That cclc-
bration was, on the part of many,
anything but Christian. Much of it
was pagan, Fortunately, we arc to-
day more generally appreciativc of
the fact that when the war is won the
peace is still to be achieved, and that
we still have the burden of the war
in the Far East. These facts. and the
memory of the disallusioning years
following 1918. make for a humble
and prayerful attitude as we appear
to be approaching N-Day. When that
day comes, whether soon or late, we
will want to give expression to our
gratitude and to dedicate ourselves
to the unfinished tasks of peace and
war. The N-Day Service will be dc
signed to assist people in such en-
preston.

and caught his clothing on fire.

ceivcd first and second degree burns
but no internal burns or injuries, ac-
cording to the examination at Me

fined. More serious burns were pre-
vented by George NJ. Browning. who
was nearby and who eXtinguished the
flames about his body.
