He 'said the gathering was present to honor our dead irrespective of rank and whether they were native sons of Canada or not. Of the beliefs and customs of fighting men he never, while at the front, heard of an atheist. General Macdonell told of how religious services were always held after the return from an en- gagement with the enemy, when the names of the dead were read. It was a practice of the Canadians always to bury their dead. He hoped that de- coration diy would continue always to be observed.

Glover, Formerly of Queen's, Occupied the Pulpit. The wonderful love and friendship of Christ formed the theme of a scholarly discourse delivered in Chal- mers church Sunday © morning by Prof. T. R. Glover, Cambridgs Uni- versity, England, formerly of Queen's university. The speaker chose as his text, St. Luke, XXII, 15; "Aud he said unto tnem, with desire I have desired to eat this passover witi you, before I suffer." Passages in this chapter, Prof. Glover said, revealad many of the promises of Christ. One | of the great sources of Christian life | was in keeping company with Christi. It was impsrtant to be with Christ. The more men were with Him, the more power they received to deai with life. And it 'was power all men needed. In these present days we became more conscious of this fact. The speaker painted a beautiful picture, showing the love of Christ for His people, and His friendship. An invitation was extended to every- one to share this friendship with Christ. We should think of what it would mean and realize what it had heen too in the experience of the world. The message from God came from a friend who overcame the world. He would do the same for all people as He did for Peter. The ladies of the Presbyterian church, Beachburg, collected for a purse to give to Mrs. Woods, the wife of the. worthy minister, who moved from the village the end of August.
