Lanos Points Out- Why the People Should Contribute Liberally to This Hospital. Kingston, Aug. 17.--(To the Editor): The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Hotel Dieu want .to know if I would mind writing a few words to The Whig on behalf of their society, as 1 did lately to help The Daugh- ters of the Empire on their own Flag Day. My first impulse was to play dead rather than kK rob others of their chan appearing in print and ingratiating themselves with the fair workers, but when I was told that nobody wished to undertake the job, and that it was hard on good women to face failure for want ging to the memory of our citizens. "Where there is no pleasure and no gain there lies our duty" is a safe rule to be guided by; it should prompt everyone to give; it em- boldens me to ask you to "boost" to-morrow's event in your columns. Of course, it is well understood that Catholics should especially come forward with their loose change; the Hotel Dieu is mostly run for their benefit; it is under their patronage and that of their clergy, and naturally, the largest share of the day's receipts can be expected to come from them. Furt- her, many will be glad, iT Feel, to contribute towards charity in that form, who have not done anything yet or very little for the welfare, comfort and entertainment of our soldiers at home, and likewise to- wards the Red Cross, to whose work St. Mary's congregation is supposed to devote Monddy night, at Queen's University, sewing, knitting, putting up parcels for the wounded at the front. Here is a fine opportunity to get credit for benevolence within our own walls, to our own afflicted brethren. But the Hotel Dieu makes no digtinction between sufferers; non-Catholics receive the same care and sisterly -attention- from the nuns as patients of their own faith; St. Mary's parishoners answer ap- peals from all quarters, and if a good turn deserves another, the general public may be approached for a small contribution. That ten thousand pedple waste from five to twenty-five cents a day in Kingston would be a safe bet. Let us deny ourselves then some price in the boxes of the Ladies" Let us be considerate; he, who refuses when he can give, hurts the charitable workers. Neith- er they nor the nuns are begging for that the former, our wives, daughters, sisters are sacrificing their whole day to up their whole life to it, but you are only called upon to part with the price of an ice cream. Give, good people, however little it may be, but give cheerfully, for in the words ok tt: "A gift that is begrudged is al: ready recalled." Yours sincerely, ors J. M. Lanos.

Edwin A. Baker, who had done his "bit" in Flanders\= and France, suffering thereby the loss of both eyes. Besidés the lodge, many lieutenant's friends from Kingston, Bath, Wilton, Toronto and elsewhere were present. Dr. G. W. Bell received an invitation in the morning to bring some of the Masons from the city eut, and D.D.G.M. John H. Birkett, P.D.D.G.M. Abraham Shaw and W.M Campbell accompanied him P.D.D.G.M. Robert Longmore occu- pied the chdir, and after a few pre- liminary remarks, read the following address of welcome to Lieut. Baker: "When in the year 1914 news was flashed around the world that war had been declared by Germany against Russia and France, and that Germany, who had been preparing for fifty years to launch a tornado of frightfulness, had violated every pledged word, broken every inter- national treaty, invaded a neutral peaceful land, had destroyed pro- perty, murdered men for defending their homes, slaughtered peaceful unarmed peasants, outraged women and butchered babies, the pulse of humanity stopped, and peaceful na- tions gasped in horror. After the first unexpected alarm one thought and purpose filled the minds and hearts of British subjects, i.e., the slaughter must be checked, and the mad nations manacled. '""To accomplish this the, young manhood of the Empire was called upon, and Canadians were not back- ward in heeding the call. Our best and dearest sprang to the defence of the Empire and the Flag. "You, sir, were one of thd first, and were the pride and admiration of all who knew you. You laid your all upon the altar. Your sight has been taken, and your life spared. Without the light of the sun you ye see glories that are veiled from mor- tal eyes, and though many feel for you in the great loss, we all know the glory you experienced in being permitted to have rthade this offer- ing on the altar of liberty, freedom and justice. "We, your Masonic brethren, take this opportunity to congratulate you on your honor and to realize they made no mistake in admitting you to the mystic ranks of their Order, We assure you of our pride in your achievements, and reaffirm our pledge to proteet, aid and conifort you in all. your ways: '""May your life continue to be bright, and may many, yet unborn, emulate your bravery, shown not only under the maddening hail of shot and shell, but the harder task of perform- ing the dull routine of every day life.' In a short reply Lieut. Baker thanked his friend& tor their atten- tion, and stated that he appreciated their actions and words of welcome exceedingly. He paid special com- pliments to Sir Arthur Pearson, pre- sident and founder of the St. Dun- stan's School for the Blind in Lon- don, Eng. Sir Arthur is blind, and soon after the commencement of the war started his school for the train- ing of soldiers who had lost their sight while in lattion. The gritty and determined spirit of the unfortunate lieutenant is well demonstrated by a remark which he made in the course of his reply: "I do not consider the loss of my eyes as an affliction, as some imagine, but merely as a handicap." D.D.GM. John H. Birkett and P,D.D.G.M. Abraham Shaw also spoke a few words, in which they paid special tribute to the district lodges. At the conclusion of the addresses light refreshments were served, and after the National Anthem had been sung, the people, who numbered nearly a hundred, dispersed. Throughout the evening Lieut. Baker. was very cheerful and con- versed freely. He spoke of his work in France, his plans and ambitions, and many other interesting topics to many of his friends, who were im- mensely pleased at having only a moment's conversation with the re- turned hero. essa, Page & Shaw.
