Forty-seven years ago, a group of men met in a railroad dining car,
in the Forest of Compiegne, France, and signed a truce ending World
War I. The date was Nov. 11, 1918.
In the years that passed, other men have met and signed truces
ending wars in which thousands have died. Those who survived will
never forget their experiences.
Every year, countless men and women all over the world, young
and old, pause a moment of recollection and silent prayer at 11 a.m.,
Nov. 11.
In the United States we know this day as Veterans Day and we hold
commemorative services at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington
National Cemetery. In England, their dead are honored in front of the
Cenotaph in London and in France, at the Arch of Triumph in Paris.
This is the day on which everyone remembers. Those of us now in
service have our memories also. We honor our comrades in arms in
various ways. Many of us take part in memorial services in the air
and on land and sea.
There are some of us who, this year, may be too busy to pause and
pray, for we will be fighting yet another action, many miles from
our homeland.
And there may be some of us who will be remembered at this time
next year.
But no matter where or how we spend the day of Nov. 11, 1965, we
should remember why those before us have passed on. The causes of
the past are the same as the causes of today—to preserve and protect
the freedoms that we so very much enjoy.
We do not want to live under a dictatorship, monarchy or com-
munism. We enjoy the form of government that has been in this
country since its birth. We want those who come after us to enjoy
that same freedom and consequently, we have to fight and sometimes
die to preserve it.
This year, when we pause at 11 a.m., Nov. 11, remember the past,
think of the present and plan for tomorrow. (AFPS)

Chaplain J
Corner
by Chaplain Alfred R. Saeger, Jr.
One frequently forgets that incidental experiences may be of an
eternal order. Many of us often become discouraged because it is
difficult for us to'discover tangible and valuable results from our
work. We do not wish our lives to be insignificant or to suffer defeat.
In our Lord’s parable of the talents are these words of promise to
these who are faithful to the trusts of life committed to them: “Thou
hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over
many things.” This, of course, is a statement of a law of increasing
returns, which may and does operate in two ways.
First it applies to one’s personal life. Demonstrated ability and
trustworthiness bring satisfaction and confidence in one’s self, in-
creasing our capacity for greater responsibilities and justify larger
trusts. Second, one’s influence does not cease with the human ter-
minal point of death, but extends over many generations and cen-
turies.
In Exodus chapter two the story of Miriam, the little sister of
the child Moses, gives us an unusual and graphic illustration of per-
sonal worth, and of premanent and expanding influence. As the little
girl lingered near the river she was apparently doing nothing, but
actually her work surpassed that of the sentinels of the guard.
First, Miriam was alert to the dangers that threatened a helpless
child, and so allayed the anxiety of a troubled mother’s heart. She
was quick to exercise the diplomacy of love, and thus she saved her
little brother’s life. Moreover, by her faithfulness she was watching
over the integrity of her own life; she was faithful to the simple duty
assigned her, and thus she developed a spirit which in later years
burst forth in her songs of triumph.
Second, destiny rested in the palm of her little hand. The little
girl did not realize that she was safeguarding one who would be-
come one of the world’s greatest organizers, legislators, and leaders of
men, and most of all a peer among interpreters of God to mankind.
She held the key with which the shackles of slavery would be re-
moved from more than a million of her race.
She had in her charge a great people, including not only Moses,
but Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, David, Paul and a host of others,
who throughout the long centuries, have given the world their spiri-
tual and scientific leadership. The Pharaohs built great structures
of stone; Miriam helped erect eternal, living pyramids in the mind
and heart of mankind. Little things do count, especially to our Lord.
