ABOUT THE USO
Leland L. Williams, Minister.
Invasion Day Service
About one hundred people gathered
~n the 'Community Church for a spec-
ial service of prayer for the.men tak-
ing pa,rt in the Allied Invasion. The
organ nmsic was by Miss Carolyn
Gross and the service included the
Twenty-third Psalm, the Lord's Pray-
er, a Litany of SymDathy, a special
arrangement of the Beatitudes for a
Responsive Reading, and a reading of
the World Order Compact calling for
the establ:ishment of a world-wide or-
ganization for the preservation of
peace. There were prayers foIa the
men and women on the b~ttle fronts,
for the leaders of our nation, the
President of the United States amd
the officers who are in command.
The following poem was also read
and some have asked that it be print-
ed in the Islander:
The Young Dead Soldiers
The young dead soldiers do not
speak.
Nevertheless they are heard in the
still houses
(Who has not heard them?)
They have a silence tl~at speaks for
them at night
And when the clock counts.
They say, We were young. We have
died. Remember us.
They say We have done what we
could But until it is finished it
is not done
They say, We have given our lives
But until it is finished no one
can know what our lives gave
They say, Our deaths are not ours,
They are yours, They will mean what
you make them
They say, Whether our lives and our
deaths were for peace and a
new hope--~r for nothing
We cannot say.
It is you who must say this
They Say, We leave you our deaths.
Give them their meaning.
Give them an end to the war and a
true peace,
Give them a victory that ends the war
and a peace afterwards,
Give them their meaning.
rvV;e were young, they say.
We have died. Remember us.
Archibald Maeleish
Librarian of Congress.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
This quotation from Jeremiah was
the Golden Text in the Sunday Lesson
-Sermon on "God the Only Cause and
Creator" in all branches of The Moth-
er Church, The First Chttrch of Christ,
Scientist, in Boston: "He is the form-
er of all things, and Israel is the rod
of his inheritance: The Lord of
Hosts is his name."
"By the word of the Lord were the
heavens made; and all the host of
them by the breath of his mouth,"
read a Lesson-Sermon passage from
'~he Psalms. It continued, "The coun-
sel of the Lord standeth for ever, the
thoughts of his heart to all genera-
tions. Blessed is the na.tion whose God
is the Lord." A verse from Revelation
was also included "Thou a~rt worthy,
O Lord, to receive glory and honour
and power: for thou hast created all
things, and for thy pleasure they are
~nd were created."
Mary Baker Eddy wrote in "Sci-
ence and Health with Ke, to the
