BLACKSTOCK A very lairge crowd assembled in the Arm ourles on Sundfay to take part in the decoration and commemi(ii- or.ationý services The pastors of the Anglicani and M1,'ethodist churchles conducted the services and the uit- ed cho rs led the coûimunity siniginig. Rev-. Mr. Gallagher of the Anglicani church presideld and led the devo- tional part of the service and Rev,. J. E. Griffith, pastor of the Methodist cburchý, gave the -address basing bisý remnarks'on the words "This stone shall be a witness, unto us," Joshua 24 :27. Mr. Griffith pointed out that the miemorial service was one in rememn-brance of those who bad shown personal sacrifice and patriot- ismi. He contended, however, that the trend of individual thought was that there would be no more wars, and that the League of Nations was a biglier and more beneficial body than would be the Worlcl Court espoused by Senator Borah of the- United States. 1e also touched on many public questions, -and empbas-' ized the fact that men like Dr. Bant- ing had done far more good to humianity than nmen who b-ad invent- ed engines of war and poisonous gases for the destruction of individu- ais. After the service in the anm- curies, the guard of soldiers alcng with mnembers of local lodges rnarch- ed to the monument erected in the centre of the village, and- placed' beautiful'fiowe'rs in rernory of the 65 ycung men of this towniship who had volunteered -for service, some cf whom had paid the suprerne sacrifice. Simlar services were afterwards conducted at the graveyards in the district. CHIR0PRACTIC Dr. Durwin E.
