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.

Music during Communion
Motet: Girl with the Flaxen Hair Debussy, arranged by D. Sabourin
Hymn: 278 Jerusalem the Golden Ewing
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.

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.
