A letter of thanks was read ,,from Lion Geo. Ross for flowers sent him during his recent ill- ness. An invitation was received from 't he Aeronautical Institute of Canada to send delegates to the convention on May 2nd and 3rd at Toronto. It was -agreed that Lion Jack Hanna, repre- sent the Club. Mr. Ermine Copeland was called up- on b ythe president to address the club in connection with the present Victory Loan. He address follows: "I would like to mention two -thoughts 'that occurred to me to-day as a result of talking with our own Victory Loan salesmen. One of these men told me that I would be amazed how much time was wasted by requests for call backs. Too -many prospects were saying that "It is early in the compaign yet. See me next week, or the week after, or any time near the close of the campaign." So the salesman found himself chasing bought Victory BotidS to the tune of thirty-seven and -one-half million in the Fifth Victory Loan itmillion and a half front the bloody battle fields of Italy alone—and to-day unstated Choy. sands, waiting the zero hour of invas- ion, are already smashing all previous records in subscribing to the Sixth Victory Loan, To-morrow many of their names may be in the casualty lists, but they so gladly do their duty, with no thought of the price—freedom, security for their loved ones must be Purchased; evil must be d'estroyed; right must, triumph, no matter what the cost, How we watch the headlines in the papers, and listen to newcasts; keyed up, for invasion, anxious for the safety and success of our fighting men, pray- ing for their victory in battle. They too, are anxious and watching—watch- ing the progress of Canada's Sixth Via. tory Loan, praying for success on the home front. With their critical hour so 'near, when they are offering so much; how can we hold back anything; how can we justify any excuse not to do our ut- most in this Sixth Victory Loan? Do hear someone say—Well, I do not mind buying a bond from my say- inbs4 but none of this payment stuff for me. Let us remind ourselves that when we buy a bond no payments we may inconvenience ourselves a little for the six months over which the pay- ments are spread; may have to deny ourselves some things we are accust- omed to enjoy; but what of the service man who loses an arm or a leg ,pr his eyesight; he pays and keeps on paying the rest of his life. The Government gives us our money back with interest; can the Government give him back what he has invested in freedom? Can anything ever recompense him for his' loss? When a life is given in battle do the loved ones at home ever cease to pay in sadness and sense of loss? Let us buy Victory Bonds both from sav- ings and from income, I would that every Canadian might watch the courage and philosophy of Herbert Davies, a Welshman, who lost his son, Herbert, over Hanover, Ger- many, last October. FO. Davies train- ed at Port Albert and frequently visit- ed at the home of Charlie Lloyd' in Wingham, I knew him well. This is what his father wrote to Mr. Lloyd concerning his son's death. ilWe are not the least unhappier; it is as though we had invested our all and we have a feeling of a certain dividend." Mr. Davies is not concerned about what he has to do without, he has a feeling of a certain dividend. By comparison, we are asked for so little; our duty is clear; unless we have bought bonds to the extent where it calls for real sacrifice we are not keep- ing faith with the thousands who have already given their lives, and the thou- sands more of our own Canadian boys waiting the invasion signal, who are counting on us to keep the Home Front firm. They will not fail us — we dar'e not fail them, We all have to live with our conscience. Until we have bought Victory Bonds from sav- ings and from income to the absolute limit of our capacity, may our con- science give us no peace." DEDICATION SERVICES ON SUNDAY NEXT AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH (Continued from page 1) Above the altar is a painting of Leo- nardo Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" this is the work of Mr. McDougall, personally, who also painted two mur- als on the east and west walls of the Nave illustrating St, Paul preaching at Athens and Corinth, Other murals which have been re- newed .are those depicting the four gospel writers, on the Chancel ceiling, and at the rear of the Sanctuary are the ancient symbols of the Pelican, be- lieved to have fed its young with its Own blood, a symbol of the Christ of- fering His life for the world, and Christ symbolized 'as the Good Shep- herd.. Above the chancel steps is the dove, symbol of the Holy Spirit offer- ed at Holy Confirmation surmounted by the three fold Sanctus, and on eith- er sides• are the murals depicting the Holy Communion, the angelic figures carrying the grapes and the grain. The hymboard and the memorial font, and the baptistry with the four retaining posts are all hand carved oak, The symbols of the Holy Trinity are found on all three pieces of furniture: They are the work of the Globe Ecc- lesiastical Furniture Co,, 'Waterloo, and are splendid pieces of workmanship, The font is complete with carved oak top crowned with the cross, and with brass bowl, and silver memorial plate. The font is octagonal, symbol- iziriz the 8 members -of' Noah's family, saved from perishing by water, The rugs in the chancel and. sanctuary and baptistry, are in ecclesiastical type, with the acanthus leaf found on the pillars Of Xing SolOnion'S temple.

I will deal with this second point later. From World War I we have this bit of poetry: But it isn't playing the game, he said As be slammed all his books away. The Latin and Greek I've got in my head Will do for a duller day. Oh, rubbish, I cried, the bugle's call Isn't for lads at school. But do you think he'd listen, No, not at all, So I called him a fool, a fool. And yet I'll bet he was never afraid And he went as the-best of them go, For his hand was clenched on a bro- ken blade And his face was turned to the foe. And I called him a fool, 0 blind was I And the cup of my grief's a brim Will glory of Canada ever die, So long as we have lads like him. So long as we've fond and fearless fools Who, spurning fortune and fame, Turn out with the rallying. cry of their schools Just bent on playing the game, A fool, ah no, lie was more than wise, His was the proudest part, For he died with the glory of love in his eyes And the glory of faith in his heart. And tho there's never a grave to tell Nor a cross' to mark his fall, Thank God, we know he battled'well In that last great game of all. Fond and Fearless fools—yes—Can- ada had sixty thousond of them killed in 1914-1918. Already she has fifteen thousand who have given their lives in this war, and a further fifteen thousand are wounded or missing. To offer one's life for one's country should be enough—but not for these fond and fearless fools. Four hundred thousand of them are the work of Harcourt's Ltd., Tor- onto. The vestibule, vestry and parish hall have all received new electrical fixtures. The parish hall received complete new flooring, a cement floor first, then sub-floor, and birch flooring on top. A modern kitchen has been installed, choir vestments cupboards, washroom and furnaces. The carpentry work was completed by W. H. Riotould az Sons, and the decorating was the work of Mr. Elmer Wilkinson, who was also in charge of the work in the rectory. The rectory now is almost finished with built in verandahs, and modern kitchen effects. It ,has been complet- ely redecorated inside. Two furnaces from the Western Fopndry have been installed in the church, and one in the rectory. Machan Bros., Wingham, were in charge of the plumbing, and the elec- trical wiring and fixtures installed by the Wingham Utlities Commission. A piano for the Sunday School, and fur- nishings for the Rectory were purch- ased from Mr. A. J. Walker, Two new chimneys, all brickwork, plastering, and cement driveways were done by Mr. Jack Adams, Wroxeter, At the present St. Wingham, is possibly the finest Anglican Church in Western Ontario, and possessing al- so 'the most complete and up-to-date rectory.
