Lynda Chater. Edited 1st October 2015
Anniversary of the War.
That we may convey to our Allies, to the neutral Powers and to
the enemy our unity of purpose, our conviction of the righteousness of
our cause, and our unflinching determination to carry the war to a
triumphant conclusion.
These words succinctly express the object of the national demonstration
of Wednesday, August 4th, 1915, in which Berkshire - in common
with every city, town and village in the Kingdom - bore a worthy part. In
the county town, for example, divine service was held in St. Laurence's
Church and Broad Street Congregational Church, and both places were
filled. At the former the Mayor and Corporation were present in state,
being accompanied by Justices, Guardians and other representatives of
civic rule, and the proceedings struck an appropriate note of confidence
tempered by humility. The service at Broad Street drew not Congregationalists
alone, but Free Churchmen generally, and an inspiring sermon
was preached by the Rev. James Mitchell, President of the Reading Free
Church Council.
THERE WERE HUGE CROWDS.
