The me.inori.l, the gift of the Mccresdy Estate. is of striking appearance. chaste in design. rich in appeal and symbolism and con- stitutes the anal. panels in an cv- erall scheme for the south wall of the church. They are companion pieces and contain the separate figures of Moses and Isaiah, repre- sentatives of the Law and Proph- ecy of the Old Testament, bal- ancing the windows to the right which depict S. Peter and S. Paul. representatives of the Evsngel to the Jews and the Gentiles. of the New Testament. The War Mem- orial windows unveiled last No- vember snd the Good Shepherd windows above them complete the plan, The figure of Moses appears robed in s mantle of ruby red lined and fringed in aquamarine. and holding the two tablets of iiccready Memorial Wlntiows To Be llnveild in -The Kirk of Saint James ed in Hebrew the Ten Commend- ments. The figure appears in sand- alled feet against a background of blue and the head is crowned with a nimbus of gold. A deep sapph- ire sky is overhead and at the feet are clusters of scarlet and green Palestinian windflowers and rush grasses. In the alcove above is the Burning Bush. the symbol of Moses' call to the sacred office. The figure of Isaiah is clothed in the gold and royal purple of the court and temple; the head is covered with s mantle of white against a nimbus of deep scarlet. and the feet are ssndsiled as in the companion figure. In the pro- phet's hands is the scroll inscribed with the pledge and promise of the Messiah--"unto us a child is born". In the alcove above Isaiah appears the head of s seraph en- circled in flames symbolic of his call to the prophetic office. Through the harmony of subject matter, the detail of symbolism and the comp ite blending of strikingly contrasted colours an eifect has been achieved the: is both religiously impressive and aesthetically beautiful.

The events of the past week in Korea have only served to emph- asize the urgency of this mes- sage. For the language of Korea is hatred. and hatred is the anti- thesis of love, yet only love can bring peace to the world. There are few who do not look upon these events with great fear. For it I8 apparent to everyone that the Korean affair is not simply a skirmish between two factions in a far-off country. There is a genuine fear that it may be the initial spsivk or prelude to a global war. The horrors of war! We have literally Just begun to efface the memories of the pest war and cover its ugly wounds with the reconstruction of homes, the re- location of families. and the bar. boring of displaced and now we are being forced once again to view the spectre of war in our midst. The Korean affair has shocked us out of our normalcy and it is no exaggeration to say that here is s fight. to be won not by man alone but by the prayers and faith of all men. We are facing in Korea not only the advance guards of a mighty military machine. but we are confronted with an enemy who has his allies all over the world. Whether we will it or not we are forced to take cognizance in our midst of the serpent of So- viet Communism which is encirc- ling the world and threatening to throttle its foes. Do we really want peace? Does the world want peace? Or must the world endure a third World War before men will fulfill the simple conditions for peace-pray- er and penance? While the disson- ance of hate and discord domin- ates the present moment it would be well to recall the words of Christ which he uttered on the eve of his own persecution and death: "Peace I leave with you. my peace I give to you: not as the world gives do I give to you." And the road to peace that Christ pointed out to us is the road of love. "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one an- other: thst as I have loved you. you also love one another." Christian Weapons This is the message of Christ -- love; this is the weapon with which Christians must oppose global Communism. While the ocean of blood and tears may rise and with it the in- describable atrocities that only war and hatruf can bring, we must reaffirm the fact that there -is only one way of getting out of the meshes in which war and hate have wrapped the world - the genuine recognition of human solidarity. The brotherhood of man is something to be regained rs- ther than to he invented. What makes it complicated is the fact that, if those who believe in God loved according to their beliefs, all would be united in God. In a word, the solidarity of all our peo- ples which should be s fact. can only come about through a love which is not natural, but super- natural -- through a love motiv- ated by God. Unity must flow from God. not from a militant atheism called Communism, which offers in place of a true love for men a univer- sal social service to the abused of the world. If we love God. all economic things.wlll be added unto us, and if we are united with God, the unity with our brethren will be also added unto us. This is the simple answer which God re- vealed to us. but most. of us learn it the herd way. The Korean sf- fsir is revealing in all its brutality that the language of hate is un- fortunately familiar to too many men. science Inadequate Men seem to have found the secret of living together in hate. They have assembled a code of be- havior by means of which they can go about in hatred without sci- ually committing murder. On the international level it consists of building a high fence behind which nations stockpile atom bombs and watch every move of their neigh- bors. Force alone prevents violent hostilities. Alli the while men dream of bringing unity into the world through science and technology. The social scientists are devising various techniques for creating better understanding between races and for the prediction and con- trol of mass human behavior. But lhI.s so-celled rational spproach to the problem of peace and war does not go to the root of the problem which is in the heart of man. If we are hoping to save our- selves, we must. inevitably. help to save the world - for We mill: keep the commandments; we must love our neighbor as ourselves. Love is the creative agent which will penetrate and prevent disin- ..:-:--m-I-m-MP-"TMTT""M Have Your Clothes PRESBED ONLY or DRY CLEANED at IITI-WAY Q Thoughts For Our Time' ( Is His Eminence Cardinal McGuigoo (Copyright) tegrallon and ruin. This is the lesson of Christ. but to carry this out will mean e reversal of our modern selfish standards. In the early days of Christianity the followers of Christ were known by their love for one another. If we each infect only the man next to us in the crowd, so to say. with the germ of charity, we shall have started I contagious movement toward peace among men. Love will create unity in the world when man himself finds God through love. Stated otherwise. there will be no peace among men until you and I fulfill the first command- ment of loving God with our heart and soul. - Literature And Life By BOOILMAN - Def-00&0 THE IIYMN A hymn is thus def1ned:; "A song, expressive of praise, adora- tion. or elevated emotion. or IIICIIC specifically, is metrical comP0lI' tion, divided into stanzas or verses.. intended to be sung in religious worship". Hymns date from early times. The first known christian hymn dated from the second century, and is attributed to Clement of Alexandria; the "Te Deum," probably our greatest pro- duction In this species of composi- tion dates frcm the fourth cen- tury and is attributed! to Ambrose. Martin Luther gave the first Pro- testant hymns to the German peo- ple and one of his great ones is. "A safe Stronghold.” The psalms of the old Testament were the hymn book of the Jews and. to this collection modern hymns owe much. Among certain Presbyterian Hymns were anathema and I have heard of churches where the paraphrases were glued so that they could not be used. That day has however. passed away and hymns now form a leading part in public worship. There are certain regulations which must be .observed in the composition of a hymn. It should be a unit, and not too long; more- over simple so that the worship- per may see its meaning readily. No one wants to puzzle over the meaning of the verses while they should be singing. Besides, it should be orthodox in its teach- ing. There is is place too. for good poetry in our hymnology. One thing that makes Newt-n.sn's hymn. "Lead Kindly Light" so much ad- mired is that the poetry is good. When air mnest MscMlllan was in Halifax edjudglgcgtglijigmgt a musi- cal Futlval a few years ago, he said that we sang a good deal of trash. Perhaps one reason why paraphrases are so much liked is that they are based on scrip- ture snd the thought there is good. .. O O O A great service has been render- ed to the Christian church by our hymn writers. Charles Wesley is a notable case. He is represented in all hymn books worth the name. Then we have Cowper. New- ton. Montgom y, Toplsdy. Dadd- ridge. Fanny Cmsby. Eilerton, Boner. Fabar. Keble, I.yte,'Msn- sell, Watts and many others. Pos- sibly one of the most popular is that one by Joseph scrlven "What a friend we have in Jesus." He was a poor Irish school mes- ter and lies in a grave at Rice Lake, Ontario. Another by a cane- dian is "From Ocean unto Occsn." by the late Dr. Robert Murray, one time editor of the Presbyter- isn Witness. Halifax. Hymns deal with Praise, Con- fession, Adoration. Petition and Thanksgiving. We have patriotic hymns. and mlssio y hymns. In fact almost every conceivable sub- Ject is covered. Aviation has cell- ed too fcr hymns and we have them in our books. Perhaps social service is our weakest place and there is much need for a good temperance one. Even our old friend e- "More to be a Daniel" is left out nowl It was based on a Biblical incident and helped to fix an idea in the mind. Praise is a fundamental part of worship, and when we think of heaven we think of singing; of course Hes- ven would be a place to which we would not care to go is we thought that we would not be "singing all the time." The ides is used in the Bible. I suppose. because when we think of singing. we think of hap- piness. The same way with the robes of white and the streets of gold -poetry of course. Wilson MacDonald has some fine lines on the lasting power of song, snd the same applies to hymns. Dry sermons are forgotten. but "Jesus lover of my soul" lives on. He esld:- "No time is dead that world a song. The larger hours were wet with music's flegon." We read of Jesus and his men singing a hymn and then going out to the Mount of olives. Hymn- slnging is associated with revivals. Ssnliey sang the gospel which Moody preached. A hymn may find a soul while a semen is lost upon the heater. We owe a great deal to those who made undying music in the world. 5 no , M.irilin1oLi,In .. I y'( I II I I . Ieotisy. O.I.lI-. Igr. P.I. gave the lraaimchsrtettstown. P.
