MARRIED JUDGE—tib E1LEa—At St. Francis Church Toronto, on Thursday, October 11th, 1917, Miss Clara M , eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Weiler, Turnberry, to Mr. John D. Judge, both of Toronto THE CANADIAN WAY When times are good, and labor dear NVe coax the British workman here, And, should he shrink to cross the drink i1'c tell hila he Itas nought to fear. But, when times are hard and straight, Iii, is indeed' a sorry fate; We let him lie, with starving cry, Like Lazarus, beside our gate. When all the battle flags are furled, Aud wolf and lamb together curled, We loudly sing, -"God save the King." And bid defiance to the world. When ;otne must go to bear the brunt, And check the German Kaiser's stunt We still can brag, and wave the flag,' But send the British to the front, When Princess Pats charge down the pike And put the Gerrzlans on the hike, We shout --•'hooray for Canaday! Th - :1. i /re, never teen buy like '' But when word come across the waves, The Hest contingent misbehav es, Ilfri ery .1w:. ' to tell , 'Men :r;tish bent are f;,ols an:I LETTER OF SYMPATHY One of the strongest recommendations for military life, in the opinion of men. back from the front, is that it tends to give one settled habits of living. The soldier has a regular round of daily duties including lengthy periods of recreation while in training, and he grows used to this method of ordering his existence quickly. It is a tradition of the race that the easiest way to go through life enjoying oneself i$ to form goodhabits, such as regularity in rising, going to bed,eating, shaving and the like. All these are learn- ed by men in the army. Their duties are soordered that they may perform the day's tasks with the least possible delay and without confusion, Furthermore, tate discipline maintained in the citizen armies which are fighting in the present war is by no means like that of former times, when Harshness and sev- erity were considered essential. It has been found out by those who did not realize it at once that the men of the present Allied armies work and fight better when treated as self-respecting in- dividuals, each one possessed of his free- dom if willing to observe discipline for the good of the whole. No. 3, General Hospital September 20th Dear Mrs, Pullen:- Had ullen:-Had I not been wounded myself, I would, before this, have written you to say how deeply distressed we all were by the death of your husband. I know how very deeply you must feel his loss, but at the same time you must remember and thank God that your hus- band died nobly, fighting for his country and the cause .of righteousness Your husband was close by me when we made the attack on Huns on August 21st, and before the attack and up till the time he was hit, he was an inspiration to us all with his ever cheery spirit, and readiness to assume even more than his own share of the dangers of the battle. Your husband was only in iny `platoon a few weeks, but in that time I learned to value him very greatly, and understand how greatly we were indebted to him for keeping up the spirits of all around him, under no matter what circumstances. Again expressing very deep sympathy, Iam Yours sincerely, A. F.
