Following the death of her parents, she resided in Toronto for a number of years and also spent several years in London, before re­ turning to Exeter in 1911. She was a charter member of the James St, W.M.S. For the past five years she has been living with Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Johns and has been a member of the Main St. Church. She was an active worker in the W.C.T.H. AS a poetess Miss Hart­ noil had some ability and one of hei- poems, which appeared jn On­ ward a "number of years ago, is printed at her request on another page. Miss Hartnoil had been in ill-health for some time and for the past nine weeks her condition had been critical.

LAKEVIEW CASINOFIRST HUSSARS PARAPE TO MAIN ST, CHURCH Two hundred members of First Hussars from Dondop and Exeter, headed, by the- Hussars’ Baud from Loudon and accompanied by the municipal council and by the veterans tram the Exeter-Hen- sall Branch of the Canadian Le­ gion paraded to the Main St. Un­ ited church on Sunday morning last for public worship. The church was filled ’for the occasion,* The pastor, Rev. N. J. Woods, ex­ tended a welcome to the visiters. The choir sang an anthem and a recessional quartette was sung by Messrs, Harold and herald Skinner, Fred Walters and Frank Wildfong. Following the service the paradjs again marched through the town tp Riverview Park, where, under the direction of the ladies of Main St, church, convened by Mrs. W. S. Howey, and assisted by some of the Red Cross Units, the men were serv­ ed their dinner, Hot. beef sand­ wiches, pie and coffee were served in, cafeteria style, the men being well lo'oked after, A slight drizzle of rain threatened to mar the pro­ ceedings but passed over, doing very little harm, Rev. Mr. Woods took for the basis of his remarks part of the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy jviil be done on earth, as it is in hea­ ven." He spoke of,a visit of Stanley Jones to Russia, when in conversa­ tion with a highly intelligent actress she said to him, “You are a relig­ ious man because you are weak”. Religion was for those who de­ sired escape from something; * for • those who needed comfort. Stan­ ley Jones replied that he did not want religion as comfort, but as adequacy; adequacy to meet life when life was full, of temptation, difficulty and injustice. He did not want God to wipe' away his tears. He wanted to be an instrument in wiping away the tears of others; to stretch out a helping hand to the-in- wardly and outwardly beaten. The Russian actress inquired if he was an idealist. Communism is realism; Christianity is idealism, the impli­ cation being that Christianity had taken refuge in an unreal idealism away from the hard and pressing problems of life, a religion acting like a drug to lull people to sleep, helping them to imagine that they are protected against the hard knocks of life. His conversation with the Russian actress caused Stanley Jones to ponder the ques­ tion of whether Jesus was ah idealist or a’ realist. Was Jesus pre­ occupied and- devoted. tp.. facts, or devoted to idea? Are we in­ terested in speculations about this world' or are we concerned about righteousness, justice, and the adequacy of these needs? As a lad attending during the last war, vividly recalled conversations which the impression was left that as a result i.pf the war all the bad*; people would be killed and all the good people would be saved. Some of us are disillusioned. Sir Walter Ra­ leigh, following his son’s death,* in the last war, 'wrote, “Our sons who have died have .given us the future. It will have to be a wonderful fu­ ture to justify so great a sacrifice.” We know now what that future has been. Once more as Christians we should pray that this • war should bring a better future. This time Britain and her allies reluctantly reached for the sword and seized it only when forced to do so. The identity of the aggressor is easily seen. Last week Germany invaded Russia and then offered to an un­ believing world the excuse that ■ she had discovered Russian plans to invade Germany. We have heard that excuse before when Germany overran other countries. The speaker stated his belief that Jesus^meant His kingdom to be a real kingdom. The kingdom of God on earth. It is the master-plan, the master-purpose that gathers every­ thing up unto itself and gives its redemption and purpose. Jesus' was a realist and His massage was real­ ism becaus^ he was concerned pri­ marily about human beings and | their relationships one tp another. Jesus taught men to love their en­ emies. Nothing could destroy his love for all mankind. That is Christ’s challenge to the Christian church to-day. The challenge of the Christian church is to maintain in time of war as well as in time of peace a sane view of international Jove and good-will around which a new World can be built. ’ Let us' remember that the nation at the head of whpse government, is Adolph Hitler, has» also produced a Luther, a Bach, a Mendelssohn, a Goethe; an Einstein, and a Niemoeller, .suffering at present in prison for conscience sake. We are worldHeonscious, world*minded in business, are we world-minded in. love? Hussia since the last war has abolished Christian­ ity; Germany has repudiated it. "The German soldier believes that hate must be unadulterated by love. The British race shall be gleriotisly and triumphantly right when we come to believe that love must be undi- ' luted by hate. ’ Following the .Great there 1 was a period of readjustment. Af­ ter this war the sarne thing will be necessary, The speaker referred to the Grand Bend I Willis Tipping, and his Cascade Music Every Night.

There has been a lack of will-power for righteousness, to resist eyil, aggres­ sion and exploitation. Jesus was a realist. He-brought religion from the skies to the earth.
