THE DAY PRAYED FOR
. “ The.great day for which .we have longed and prayed has arrived,” said the Mayor (Mr D. C. Cameron). “ What a glad and happy day for the whole world! This great assemblage of. Dunedin citizens joins with people everywhere in Celebrating this joyous great event. For six years War has dominated our thoughts and lives, and what a great relief it is to know that there is peace at last. Let Us be joyful and happy to-day, and make others happy. But in these joyful hours our thoughts must turn to those who made the supreme sacrifice, to all the sorrowful and bereaved, to all the wounded and sick, and to all in hospital and homes. In true spirit; of thanksgiving ~ and rejoicing let Us celebrate these two days.”
