SERGT. MARSHALL KILLED BOMBING GERMAN TRENCH The following letter was receiv- ed last week from France by‘Mrs. Robert Marshall, iving the partic- ulars of the deat of her heroic son, Sergt. C. A. Marshall, who fell in action on November 18th. To the family, whose grief none can realize, the gallant manner in which the young soldier met his death while leading his section in an attack on a German trench. will, in part, atone for the irrepar- able loss they have suffered. He died, but with his face to the foe, fighting for the liberty of the world, and for a people sadly oppressed by the iron hell of a Prussian tyrant. France Dear Mrs. Marshall: I consider it my C a sad one, to tell know of the death 4 son, Caldwell. I hop think me forward i] you. My home is i where my father is minister. I met years ago, and we h: pals. We enlisted in 1 pany in the 71st Bat't know of the death of your dear son, Caldwell. I hope you will not think me forward in Writing to you. My home is in Walkerton, where my father is Presbyterian minister. I met Caldwell two years ago, and we have been great pals. We enlisted in the same Com- pany in the Tlst Battalion and took the same course in Woodstock last December. I always found him :1 gentleman, both in public and private, and a good decent fellow with the boys. The news of his death came as a great shock to 'me, when I heard of it yesterday. But what a noble death! He was killed bombing his way up a German trench, at the head of his section, during one of our advanc- es. and I am glad to say he did not suffer. Doubtless, he did not know anything ever hit him. We are moving out of this place in a day or two, and I am glad of it, for we are sick of it. Well, Mrs. Marshall, I must close, again extending to you my sincere sym- pathy in the loss of your son, and my pal. pany in the 715 the same cours December.

Text of the Lesson, John S, 1-18â€"Mem- Ory Verses, 11, 12â€"Golden Text. John i, 4â€"Commentary Prepared by Rev. D- M- Stearns. In these four gospel portraits of Christ we see Him as the King (Mat- thew). the Servant (Mark). the Son of Man (Luke) and the Son of God (John) â€"the same Jesus in each, revealed to us a little differently, that we may know Him more fully and more inti- mately. This gospel is certainly the eagle gospel, as the others are sugges- tive of the other races of the cherubim, the lion, the ox and the man. Here we are lifted far above the others and car- ried back to the beginning, before the creation, to Him by whom all things were created. His name. “the ..,Word of God.” takes us back to the ten times repeated “And God said" of Gen. 1, along with P5. xxxiii, G, ‘Bx the Word of the Lord were the heavens made.” Then on to Rev. xix, 13, when He shall come in glory as “the Word of God.” along with Ps. xx‘ of the Lord were Then on to Rev. 1: come in glory as How grand the 6 “Without Him WI that was made." 001. i, 16, and 1e Jer. xxxfi. 17. I often think Jer. xxxii. 17. I often think of and quote these lines: “The Scriptures and the Lord hear one most holy name; the written and the Living Word are in all things the same. Then the word of any one. if sincere, is the utterance of the heart, and in Him we see and know the heart of God the Father. As Creator He is too far above us to be known by us, but when we see Him in human form, the Word made flesh (verse 14), then He comes near to us in such a way that we may know Him. Though no man hath seen God at any time, any believer can see Him in the only be- gotten Son (verse 18). Those of whom it is written in Ex. xxiv, 11, “They saw God and did eat and drink,” saw not the Father, but the Son, whose goings forth have been from the days of eter- nity (Micah. v, 2, margin), So was it also with Abraham, and Jacob, and Moses, and Joshua, and Gideon, and Manoah, and J oh, and Isaiah, and Dan- iel. Let us be content with the words of our Lord to Philip, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father” (John xiv, 9). Not only is He God the Creator, but He is the Life and the Light of man. His first recorded utterance in Scrip- ture in, “Let there be light,” and then we remember that “God, who com- manded the light to shine out of dark- ness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory ‘ of God in the face of ‘Jesus Christ" (Gen. 1, 8; II Cor. iv, 6). So peculiarly is He the Life that there is no life apart from Him, for “He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (I John v, 12). Life and light and love are three of the great words of this gospel. and in Him alone are found the three. He is called “the True Light” (verse 9), as He is also “the True Bread from heaven,” “the True Vine," “the True Tabernacle” (John vi, 32; xv, 1; Heb. viii, 2). John the Baptist bore witness of the light that men through him might believe, and one of the last words of our Lord before He ascended was, “Ye shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me" (Acts 1, 8, margin). Could any- thing be more pitiful and pathetic than the statement of lesson verses 10, 11, that He was in the world that He had made, and it knew Him not, and His own people received Him not. Yet so it has ever been since Adam and Eve turned from Him in the Eden, where He placed them to erfloy Him and it. Israel would none of me. I would, but ye would not. Ye will not come unto me. Such are some of His words con- cerning our treatment of Him. Yet He loves us and pleads with us. Although He knows all the truth about us, He is full of grace toward us; “full of grace and truth.” Praise God for the comfort and the assurance of verse 12, for, knowing that I did truly receive Him as my Saviour and put all my trust in His precious blood, this. with the follow- ing verse, made me certain that I had become a child of God, born of God. and. with John v. 24; I John ii, 12; Isa. x1111. 25, and other words of life, gave me assurance of the forgiveness of sins that they would never be remem- bered against me and at I had pass- ed from death into lie. I have had this comfort now (June, 1915.) for for- ty-two years, ever since 1873, but had been a church member in good stand- ing without such assurance for some years before that. It is not a feeling, but simply a rest- lng on the infallible word of God that it is as He says. While Matthew, Mark and Luke refer quite fully to the glory of the transfiguration, John seems to sum it up in one sentence, “We beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father” (verse 14). The only way of true humility on our part (verse 15) and of victory over all present vanities of this world is to behold His glory according to II Cor. iii, 18. Then we shall be unable to see self and circumstances and hindrances because of the glory of that light and because of the city we have so recently been learning about, whose light is the Glory of God and‘of the \amb (Acts xxli. 11; Rev. :11. 23). a statement i was not anyi ,” reminding leading us 3, “By the heavens 1 i, when H« Word of “By the Vs'ord Leavens made.” when He shall Word of God.” us to RHEUMMISM WAS MUSE SEVERE Dmdful Pain: A11 The Time Unfil H.
