Signs of the Times

with contributions from J. Wilmer Gresham, Charles Wakefield, Arthur Henderson, Norman Vincent Sargent, William T. Ellis

[Very Rev. J. Wilmer Gresham, D. D., as quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle, California]

The significance of Armistice Day is threefold. It looks into the past, the present, and the future. As it looks into the past we think of it as a day of sacred remembrances. It is laden with many tender memories. These memories ... tell of high achievement and uncompleted tasks.

As Armistice Day looks into the future it is a day of challenge. The civilized world is challenged to destroy the cruel tyrannies of hate and the selfish lusts of gain. The world is called upon to sweep away the barriers of prejudice and passion, that the spirit of the love of God may be liberated for the healing of the nations. We ask the Almighty Father that the nations of mankind may walk in the paths that lead to the fair city of peace, whose foundations are mercy, justice, and good will, and whose builder and maker is God. "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" follows the command, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God."
