Mr. Cooper, Mt. Forest, preached ‘l in the Presbyterian Church here last Sunâ€" | day on the great "Forward. Movement" ' inaugurated last year by the General Asâ€" | sembly of the Presbyterian Church. The object of this movement is to intensify and broaden all the activities of the church so that it may do its full shafe in making Canada a Godâ€"fearing land, nct: ! only where ordinances are already estabâ€" lished, but in the broad expanse of our’ West, where foreign populations, not burdened with moral or religious ideas, | are pouring in. One striking fact he mentioned shows the necessity of this : about 45 per cent of the population of Saskatchewan are of nonâ€"English birth. The ideals of many of these people are low, and to elevate them to intelligent citizenship, the help of the church is greatly needed. Their addresses were punctuated by generous applause and a hearty vote of thanks was tendered them. _ And our boys came through these horâ€" rors, that is some of them, some of them fell, victims of the enemy, now heroes of the empire, and shall we deny to their memory a monument that will mark their devotion to a noble cause : that will satisâ€" fy our selfâ€"respect in appreciation of ! whatthey have done ? be | Most graphically he told of exertions unbelievable almost through mud to the waist, clambering in and out of shell holes the cowardice of the Huns, unless they had a decided advantage, and gave all the preparations â€"for and carrying out o"! bloody trench raids over no man‘s land &c. | With which is incorporated the Hoilstein Leader i These were the lighter side of his life At great length he described some of the scraps he had been in. he seemed to have borne a eharmed lite, men shot down at his side, bullets whishing throughhis hair &e.

He told of the pleasure he had in meeting Durham boys : Lieut. R:ichardson, Mack Saunders, F. Mcliraith V. Catton, and *an efficient little chap! named Hoy." He took his audience among the sights of London, to Edinâ€" burgh where he saw the grand fieet, to Glasgow where he had a taste of submarâ€" inelife, to Monte Carlo, where he witâ€" nessed the gambling, to the Belgian| Senate where he heard the Edith Cavel]| case discussed, and was at an assembly[ when the King and Queen of Belgium were present. 1 The Forward Movement | _ Other incidents he toid of equal daring. ,'He described the harsh German treatâ€" ment to prisoners an1 made the assertion that no stories of Hun cruelty they had read or heard of was exaggerated but on the contrary the worst could not be told. On the signing of the armistice, he and others were sent down the Rhine to Holâ€" lard, thence to Hull, England, where among many reunions, was one where a wife ran to fondly embrace her husband, the husband as fondly embraced ber, but | why so quiet ?
