H* Bingham, of London,| Ont., one of the foremost preachers of the day, has been called to the pas-| torate of the First Baptist Church in this city, to succeed Rév, Douglas | Laing, who recently retired after long | and faithful service. It is not yet| known whether Mr. Bingham will ac-| cept, The call, whith was a unanimous one, was extended to Rev. Mr. Bing- ham, at a meeting held on Wednes- day evening, when the pulpit ecom- mittee called a meeting of the con- gregation. Rev. Mr. Bingham has been pastor of one of the leading churches in London for the past eight years.

Did you There has been a marked absence in Canada of movements for the bet- League, but with the Navy League this is being reme- died. His Excellency the Duke of the Navy League of Great Britain, is taking a very active part in further- ing the interests of the League, and recently a large number of new branches were formed. The men of the Navy\and Mercan- tila Marine are the poorest paid diass in the world, facing the horrible perils of the deep for a mere pit- tance, leaving their families in many cases destitute. Meanwhile, while the public are generously and pa- triotically! giving millions for the relief of the Army, the men of the Navy are almost forgotten, A year ago the Navy League gath- ered a considerable sum in the Do- minion for relief work, but this largely went to the British Sailors' Relief Fund. This year any money that may be raised will be adminis- tered by the League, a proportion going to the benefit of the Canadian sailors and their dependents. A sailors' Day will be held all over Canada on December 8th, for this purpose, and it is hoped to raise a substantial sum to be devoted to the pressing and imperative needs of a elass of men and their families who are in sore straité because of their devotion to the Empire's cause. | 5 WAR BULLETINS.
