LAWRENCE HISELER
HOME FROM ENGLAND
Says It Peels Great To Be I•lorne
The first soldier to return home to.
Wingham from Overseas is Pte, Law-
Tence Hiseler of the R.C.0,C., who
arrived in town by bus on Monday
-afternoon, He landed in New York
+Friday evening (and left that port for
London Saturday morning, He says
that the trip back was quite unevents
Sul but that some distance from the
ship on which he travelled depth
.charges were dropped and it was be-
lieved that a submarine had been des-
troyed.
Lawrence enlisted in March, 1941
and proceeded overseas in January this
year. The crossing was a very rough
one the -storms being very bad and
rite waves at times rising to the height
.of 75 feet. While enroute, during a
roil call, the boat listed badly and
several soldiers were thrown to the
-deck. Lawrence was one of them and
he was thrown .on the bottom of the
pile and injured his back. He thought
little of the incident at .the time but
after arriving in England and taking
commando training his back became
-very sore so he reported to the medi-
cal officer who discovered that the
lower vertebrae has been torn from the
spine. He was immediately placed in
hospital and boarded for Canada. After
-two weeks leave here he will report
to London for further examination.
Lawrence says that the commando
training is really strenuous but it keeps
the boys over there in good spirits and
in wonderful .condition.
On behalf of his friends here we
'extend the hope that his injury will
very soon cease to trouble him.

In his address, the rector described
briefly the history of the Christian
Church, since its beginning and the
work of the Orange Association the
past 258 years, and the history of Can-
ada in the past 75 years. He was not
here, he said, to extol the virtues of
the Association, but rather to paint.'
out its responsibilities; In 75 years
Canada had not solved her political,
race or religious problems. She had
been a nation of compromises. Can-
ada had not turned out to be what the
founders of Confederation thought she
would be. She could not depend on
her own good earth, The nation must
choose good, but can only do so by
setting its eyes on the One who is
supremely good, and then ask whether
He would consent to that action. Our
most dangerous enemy is apathy.
The Bible gives us no hope of build-
ing a worldly kingdom. At the end
of human progress stands death. Be-
yond. Death stands Judgment Day, the
resurrection to life or damnation. To
solve the problem of death, more than
the Golden Rule is needed. We need
God Himself. We need Jesus as Lord
and Saviour, not a sermon on being
good, but the Cross, and the Resurrec-
tion from the dead, the forgiveness of
sins and the Holy Ghost.

door to the Hayden apartment, who
sent in the alarm. Prompt action by
them and the fire brigade got the
blaze quickly under control. With the
volume of smoke that was pouring
from the building it appeared that the
fire would have done a great deal
more damage butsfortunately this. was
not the case,
