MEMORIAL SERVICE. An impressive: memorial service was held in the Methodist church last Sunday morning in memory of Pte. Harry Vollett, who fell in ac- tion on October 26th. The pastor, Rev. E. S. Moyer, spoke on the sub- ject, “The Obedience of Faith,” us- ing as .his text Hebrews xizl7, “By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac.” Attention was called to the process of testing which is applied to many things be- fore they are put to service. The rope, the engine, the bridge“ the cannon, the ship, each is tested, not to cause it any injury, but to learn the capacity for service. So it is 'with individuals and nations. Our nation at present is undergoing'just such a test in order that the God of nations may determine our capacity for service in the working our. of the Divine plan for human welfare. The speaker made a strong appeal to the congregation to do their duty and to stand back of the natirn in the win-the-war movement. Feeling reference was made to the boys who have fought so bravely, and mm of whom have made the supreme: sac. riflce in order to defend our liber- ity.

Public concerts are good for all, and should receive a large mea- sure of encourageman ' The public school gave two,inter- esting concerts last week. On Friday night there was a packed hall, and the proceeds amounted "to $86.43. This was intended to be devoted wholly to patriotic purpOSes, but as the school had need 'of. funds for their own use, they decided to re- peat the entertainment on Saturday night, and took in an additional $22.50. Dr. Jamieson acted as chairman on Friday night, but he was called away before he finished up the program of 36 numbers.

When four or five years of age. she moved with her parents to Bentinck, and settled near Hanover. On the 27th of Feb- ruary, 1890, she was married to Mr. J. W. Johnston, who lived in the township ever since, with the ex- ception of about four years in Norâ€" manby. near Mount Forest. The flag drill, the motion songs, the choruses, recitals and character dialogues were all interesting and tie drills and character presenta- tions were specially attractive from a spectacular standpoint.

With a large German vote against {him on the start, Mr. Ball, the Union (candidate, did remarkably well in pulling out with a majority in ex- Icess of 500, perhaps nearer to 600.

A very impressive service was held in the Presbyterian church on Sunday morning last. in memory 01' Pte. Alister Lauder, who was re- cently killed in action. The attend- ance was large and sympathetic, the church nicely and appropriately decorated, and the choir in excellent form. “The Heroes in the Fire”, based on Daniel iii. 10, was the sub- *ject on which the laev.

Sullivan, also, gave him forty-five majority, but in all the other townships Ball led and On the night of the election there was considerable jubilation in the Union committee rooms. Onc strange feature was the mixing of Grits and Tories, forgetful of past rivalries, and rejoicing. together as announcements were made of the election of Union cadidates, irre-‘ spective of former politics. ' .Mr. Calder made a brief address, in which he made it plain that his vote for Union Government was not a Grit or Tory vote, but a vote in the interest of his boy and of other boys who are fighting in our behalf and are in need of immediate reâ€" inforcements.
