The cannon that thundered against ourhomes and liberties now thunder salutes of honorand good-will to the banner of the Stars andStripes. Glory be to thee for long-establishedinternational amity. Bless thou our peace be within her walls and prosperitywithin her palaces. For our brethren and com-panions sakes we will now say, Peace be DORCHESTER HEIGHTS MEMORIAL All this we humbly ask through Him whotaught us when we pray to say: Our Father whoart in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy king-dom come. Thy will be done in earth as it isin heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; andforgive us our trespasses as we forgive them thattrespass against us. Lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil. For thine is the king-dom, and the power and the glory forever. 31
