DRUMHEAD SERVICE (Continued from page 1) • -4 ■ ‘ » religion and more religion. The men who went overseas did not talk much about religion but they lived it. He spoke of a young man from Ottawa, a prominent football player, A rowing champion, who went over- . aeas, joined the flying corps and was wounded in France. Returning to England where he recovered from his wounds he was offered the posi tion o/f Flight Commander, but hie reply was that the men he had left Canada with were up at the front in France and that was where he wanted to be. He went back and later his dead body was taken from • the cockpit of his plane. The speak er has his service cap with the bul let hole in it. He was asked to ex amine the contents of his trunk be fore being forwarded to his loved iones. The first thing he found in . the trunk was Hoffmann’s picture of Jesus Christ as a young man. .These young men may not have ■claimed to be religious but the teach- |jng of the home, the Sunday School and the church was in their hearts. | He told the story of another man who had just received his papers to 'go home on leave. A comrade had ] just received a letter from his wife I telling of the serious illness of their j little daughter and the doctor’s fear ' that she would not get better. She wondered if he could get leave to come home. The man who had his 'paper of leave asked that it be trans- ; ferred to Jimmy and it was done. ' In the next battle he was killed. That . is living religion, said the speaker. | The speaker had hoped that when .the war clouds had lifted in 1918 and peace had been proclaimed and the Canadians had returned home to their loved ones that never again ' would the youth of Canada be called .upon to serve. No doubt many had j done as he had done, sent their I papers to Ottawa stating that they were ready to serve. I The speaker had been in Germany Jiving with a German officer. The officer had told him that he would never again fight against England. I Mr. Palmer said that he had seen (Hitler’s rise. He saw a man with a mighty opportunity; he saw a coun try rising out of ashes. When Hit ler was made leader he lost his head, .hell got into his heart and now he ' must pay the price. The speaker had no doubt of what lies ahead. The men who enlisted in the last war did not enter it because they hated someone, it was because they hated anything that would take away their liberty. We do not hate the German people but wq do not love Hitler and many persons in Germany do not like Hitler. Another story begins. Another chapter in Cana dian history is about to be written. In .declaring war Canada should' also declare war against all those who in time of war would rob the orphan, ,tlie widow and children; all who 'make money out of blood. What we want to .fight against is profiteers. With the boys who go over we should march shoulder to shoulder to a vic tory, I hope, that will be lasting for ever.
