I That call is echoed today from the hearts of the down-trodden people of Europe and Asia, and from the boys in uniform on land, on the sea and in “He gave His life for us.” Our boys are ready and willing to do just that. Should we hold back our dollars when those boys are willing to give theiy lives'? Several teen-age boys who earned $50.00 by hard work this summer have volunteered to invest the money in Victory Bonds. Surely we older people cannot refuse to “come over and help us” with our dollars. ..iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Purina Ik Canadian Legion Exeter-Hensall Branch 167 ^1 MILK-FED FINISH Without Crate Feeding i’OR YOUR BIGGER BIRDS Higher Finish — Higher Price * * * Extra pounds and extra finish bring extra price returns .with turkeys, too.

His remarks were based on the exper ience of Paul, whose desire was to go to. Bithynia in Asia, but who was directed to go to Troas, in Europe. It was then that Christianity pass ed "from Asia to Europe. In every life there comes the ‘time when, we are thwarted from doing the things we would like best to do and we turn to the second best. The speak er gave several examples of men who had left their impression upon the world in a field of endeavor that was 'their second choice. Paul’s going to Europe was one of the most significant events in history. Many a young man and woman to-day is in uniform, not their giving their lives King and Country -they hold dear. Rev.
