Concord but there should be general observance of the pccasion here, and with this end in view I ask that the hells of all Churches.be tolled and the whistles of all in dustrial plants be blown at 11 o’clock, and that the tolling of the bells and blowing of the whistles be the signal for a minute of silent prayer. Let industry be hushed for the minute, lest we forget that without idealism there would be no.protection for industry; let the clerk, the book-keep er. the teacher, the banker, the printer, the professional man and persons in all walks of life and in all vocations bow their heads in public recognition of their loyalty to their comrades who lie in Flanders Fields or who are still fighting handicaps brought about in the great struggle. Let there be a minute of devotion to the ideals for which the war was waged, with aii earnest and devout plea that we will catch the vision of the world-wide Teacher, who taught, “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” C.
