6 THE WINNIPEG EVENING TRIBUNE MONDAY, JUNE 14, 1937 Memories of Great Hours Inspire Hope and Courage IT was good for men and women to have in their lives hours standing out as grounds of gratitude and sources of inspiration through the years, Rev.

Kerr said that Peter, James and John who were with Jesus at the time would when their faith became rememband would take up their tasks again with renewed heart and courage. Great moments in experience should be conserved. The best thing that could happen to them was that they should pass into the region of established memorles where their light out to illuminate the would, shire. It was a great thing to conserve the memory of great occasions that they might serve their purpose in the soul's task. The Work of Friendship All had luminous moments they could recall.

There were times when they had stood in the presence of some high moral devotion and had cried. "Create in me a clean heart God."

The latter had battled against social injustice, and impure religion. Both were great souls.

It was a great thing to stand close to great fiugres of the past, who had lived devotedly, sacrifically and spiritually. It was a good thing for men and women to see the transcendent glory of Jesus Christ, was Mr. Kerr's final point.
