God so loved the world that

Today we are approaching
another Armistice Day - a most
| meaningful day to all of us -
the meaningful day of cessation
of battle - turmoil - sadness -
heartache and disappointment of
war. AS we near this day -
this day of November II - the
perpetual question which fire.
| quently came to our minds -
what is the truly significant
meaning of this time of year?
Is it truly significant to our
minds that this can mean the
perpetuality of our own true way
of life - can it be that the world
really does fully realize its
significance? That we are all
indeed truly aware of the futility
of fighting and killing to main
tain the really beneficial essen
tialities of this life on earth and
the more gracious attainment of
our goals for which we all are
so conscientiously striving?
AS we digress amid the glori-
Gus beauty Of this autumn season,
among the fall harvest and ap-
preaching the time of Thanksgiv-
ing for 1859 and the subsequent
Christmas tide - the retroactive
memories which we all cherish
at this time of year, sometimes
are prone to set US ponderine
somewhat meditating on the
past, present, and future of our
| lives, and upon those of our loved
ones. This time of year brings
to us many happy memories -
MANY truly ingratiating thoughts
of days gone by. This is the
| declining season of the year
| when it is satisfying natural fol
| all of us to ponder somewhat or
| both the past and future events
of this world - to plan, to hope
and yes, to dream somewhat. We
are all truly aware of how very
important these things are to u:
- and indeed what beautiful
benefit can be gained from such
reflection and hesitation as we
think upon these things.
Armistice Day - 1859 - car
mean many things to us. O
| course, as we near that day
memories of the past return
again and again to all of US wht
have spent a number Of years OF
this earth. It brings many ques
tions to our minds questions
Of the past, present, and future
It brings some satisfaction of thu
cessation Of battle, the beginning
of the glorious prevailment o
peace for which we are al
striving all of us who cal
remember and benefit from ou
disheartening experiences of tn
past strife and sadness. Can it b.
truly the full realization of ou
efforts that this will never b
the need for another Armistic
Day - that it is really the under
standing and sensibility of all O
us that we will never hav
another war with all its unneces
sary upheavals and misunder
standings? Surely this achieve
ment is worth striving for -
surely it is worth all the effort
! toll, and extended time whic
we have devoted toward thes
things. Those of us who hav
done and what is our extrem
effort to do about it in futur
times.
On these things - let us refe
to these beautiful words Of ou
Lord - "Come unto me, all y
that are weak and heavy lader
and ] will give you rest" H
says Rest"
In these - some of the mos
encouraging and the most re
assuring phrases that we fin
in our Bible - here we find a
infinite promise to all of US =
IGod's promise of rest, and peace
