by his great grand-daughter Martha Patterson Arthur was born June 6, 1877, in Drayton, Oxfordshire and spent most of his childhood in the nearby village of East Hagbourne, Berkshire. His father was a labourer, and Arthur was the eldest of 6 siblings. In 1895, at the age of 18, he enlisted in the Royal Berkshire Regiment for a term of 6 years. He emigrated to Canada in 1903, along with one of his younger brothers. He married Mary Buckland in Toronto in 1908. Arthur and Mary had 3 children: Kenneth, Marjory, and Helen (my grandmother). While living in Toronto he joined the 109th Regiment of the local militia. In October, 1915, at the age of 38, he enlisted in the 75th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He served in the trenches in northern France, and was killed by a sniper while transporting bombs overland on November 14, 1916. His name is inscribed on the Canadian Vimy Memorial.

Tributes at His Home Parish Since 2014, the people of the parish of St. Andrew's in East Hagbourne, England. have been honouring the 100th anniversary of the death of each person mentioned on their parish war memorial. The tributes include a ringing of the bells and a display in the church with as much biographical information as can be gathered. Through the wonders of the Internet, copies of family letters and photographs have been provided for Arthur Henry's tribute this week.

The Prayers of the People

In our prayers today we remember the church throughout the world and

our Anglican Communion especially those churches and congregations

listed in our prayer cycles on p.6. Standing, sitting or kneeling I invite you

to join in our prayers, with the refrain “Lord, hear our prayer.”

Let us pray for the peace of the world: the Lord grant that we may live

together in justice and faith.

Lord, hear our prayer.

4

Let us pray for this country, and especially for Queen Elizabeth, the

Governor General, the Prime Minister, and all in authority: the Lord help them to serve these people according to his holy will.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us pray for our Bishop John and the Diocese of Ottawa, its clergy

and people.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us pray for our Canadian Armed Forces and their families and our

veterans who have and still do serve their country. In this place today let us especially remember the members of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light

Infantry, The Governor General’s Foot Guards and those in diplomatic

missions and NGOs.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us pray for the sick, those listed in our bulletin and those known to

each of us. Those wounded in battle who are still recovering. For those

known to God alone, the Lord deliver them and keep them in his love.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us pray for all who are condemned to exile, prison, harsh treatment, or

hard labour, for the sake of justice and truth: the Lord support them and

keep them steadfast.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us remember all who have died. At this time we especially remember

those fallen in battle, and all innocents who have died.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us pray for the absolution and remission of our sins and offences.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Priest: The Peace of the Lord be always with you.

All: And also with you.

It is acceptable to exchange the Peace without shaking hands. A warm smile when saying, "The peace of Christ" conveys a genuine sense of Christian fellowship.

The Calendar ~

Remembrance Day

We cannot be nostalgic about the War. Eight and a half million were killed

and twenty-one million injured in what Wilfred Owen described as carnage

incomparable and human squander. It was the first holocaust of the twentieth

century. The attack on the Somme began at 7:30 am on July 1st, 1916. Sixty

thousand Allied soldiers, fathers, sons, brothers, and husbands were killed

or wounded on that day. By nightfall, over twenty thousand lay dead

between the opposing trenches. It took days for the wounded in No Man’s

Land to stop crying out. The intention had been to break the German line

and send the cavalry through to end the war. General Sir Douglas Haig

thought the power of bullets to stop horses had been greatly exaggerated.

Later, Edmund Blunden, pondering his own experience, contemplated the

new awareness brought to both sides by that horrific day. The War had won,

he wrote, and would go on winning. The Battles of the Somme simply ground

on until halted in November by attrition and freezing mud. Twenty-four

thousand Canadians were killed or wounded there, of nearly a million men

counted as casualties. Nearly 500 years ago, Erasmus wrote that War is

sweet to those who have not tried it. That is the rub. We may remember, but we

never seem to learn. At our cenotaph an inscription from Virgil reads

Nulla dies umquam memori vos eximet aevo.

No day will ever erase you from the memory of time.

Today, as I rode by,/ I saw the brown leavesdropping from their tree

In a still afternoon,/ When no wind whirled them whistling to the sky,

But thickly, silently,/ They fell, like snowflakes wiping out the noon;

And wandered slowly thence/ For thinking of a gallant multitude

Which now all withering lay,/ Slain by no wind of age or pestilence,

But their beauty strewed/ Like snowflakes falling on t he Flemish clay.

The Gospel

The Holy Gospel is written in the tenth chapter

of the Gospel according to Saint John beginning at the

22nd verse.

Glory be to thee, O Lord.

At that time the festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was

winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So

the Jews gathered around him and said to him, ‘How long will you keep us

in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.’ Jesus answered, ‘I have

told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name

testify to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my

sheep. My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give

them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out

of my hand. What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no

one can snatch it out of the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.’

(John 10:22-30)

The Gospel of Christ.

Praise be to thee, O Christ.

Cecil Spring-Rice is buried at Beechwood Cemetery. He died in Ottawa at Rideau Hall. He was the British Ambassador to the United States until 1918.

The Offertory

Generous financial support is our expression of gratitude which along with our time and talents enables us to provide worship at St. Bart’s and support God’s work in service in

our community and beyond.

Offertory Hymn: I Vow To Thee My Country Thaxted

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above.

Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;

The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,

That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;

The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,

The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago.

Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;

We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;

Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;

And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,

And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.

\Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel, for ever and ever. All that is in the

heaven and the earth is thine. All things come of thee and of thine

own have we given thee.

Eucharistic Prayer p. 78 The Communion All baptized persons are welcome to receive communion. Please do not dip the bread into the wine. If you do not wish to drink from the cup please remain at the altar rail after receiving the bread and place your arms across your chest when the chalice comes to you.

Motet: Goin’ Home Dvorak

Goin’ home, goin’ home, I’m a goin’ home. Quiet-like, some still day, I’m jus’ goin’

home. It’s not far, jus’ close by, through an open door; Work all done, care laid by,

goin’ fear no more. Mother’s there ‘spectin’ me, Father’s waitin’ too; Lots o’ folk

gathered there; all the friends I knew. No more stumbling’ on the way, no more longin’

for the day, goin’ to roam no more. Mornin’ star lights the way, restless dream all done;

Shadows gone, break o’ day, real life jus’ begun. There’s no break, ain’t no end, jus’ a

livin’ on wide awake, with a smile, goin’ on and on. Goin’ home, goin’ home, I’m jus’

goin’ home, it’s not far, jus’ close by, through an open door.

A Reading from the Letter to the Hebrews 8:15 service only

For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of

the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the

presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself again and

again, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year after year with blood

that is not his own; for then he would have had to suffer again and again

since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all

at the end of the age to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as

it is appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgement, so

Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a

second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting

for him. (Hebrews 9:24-28)

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.

Thanks be to God.

10

A Reading from the Book of Wisdom

But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will

ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and

their departure was thought to be a disaster, and their going from us to be

their destruction; but they are at peace. For though in the sight of others

they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. Having been

disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them

and found them worthy of himself; like gold in the furnace he tried them,

and like a sacrificial burnt-offering he accepted them. In the time of their

visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the

stubble. They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will

reign over them for ever. Those who trust in him will understand truth,

and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are

upon his holy ones, and he watches over his elect. (Wisdom 3:1-9)

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.

Thanks be to God.
