They each made reply, thanking them for their remembrance, and expressed the hope that after they haddone their bit they would be able to return to Calvin again, After the presentation Mr. John McGee sang a a couple of patriotic solos, Dear Friends in the Khaki, We have gathered here to -night as representatives of the congregation to say a rew final words to You who have so nobly responded to the call of King and country and enlisted in this, the greatest war in the world'"s history. The weeks are passing by and we are beginning to realize with a certain feeling of sadness that you will soon be passing on to a larger training camp and we will miss your faces in the Sahlwth services, We wish to say therefore, before the opportunity passes, that we are proud to have two such men as you fighting for us in this titanic struggle for the world's freedom, There are others of our number who would only be proud to stand with you to -night h, the King's uniform, but whether we are unfortunate or other- wise the voice of duty calls us to remain with the farm. We are glad, however, that you have been able to say,• "Here am I, send me" and we wish you every success in the cause which is so dear to us all. It is not with any idea of re- warding you for sacrifice that we are here this evening, but just to assure you of our interest in you and that our best wishes go along with you, we ask you to accept these gifts from the Calvin congregation. We trust that when you are far away and dreaming of home, these may assure you that the home fires are still burning and loving friends are thinking of you. We assure that we will watch your career with ever deepening interest as you go overseas with the loyal Canadian forces, and will not forget you at the throne of grace that you may live lives consistent with the righteousness of the cause, to which you have dedicated yourselves and that our Gracious Father may in his own good time bring you safely back to us.

ISARD & CO Two Stores RIR TO Di Cci C1 C,� The 161st Battalion has been ordered to mobolize on ,lune 1st and at FULL ST . STRENGTH. Will your County be l�um114 iated by having the first battalion she was authorized to form go into camp UNDER STRENGTH ? Will the word "HURON" ®fit ever stand as a word of reproach throughout the empire? Cr will the people of this County rally to their pride and HONOUR TO THE MEN: The business of the young man of the county today is the comple- tion of the battalion she was asked to form. Kitchener urges "men and more men." Canada 'has promised him 500,000. Will you be one? Are you content to remain at home in ease and reap business ad- vantages while other men take your place in the firing line? Will your conscience remain clear and clean each day of the long years to come? Does the sight of your chum in khaki leave you untroubled and undisturbed? THE LAST CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS Make such a sacrifice as may be necessary (the Empire is worthy of them) to enable you to take your place in your County Battalion. ENLIST and ENLIST today with the knowledge that, at last, you are playing the part of a MAN. TO MOTHERS, WIVES AND SISTERS: Do you know what is happening to women in Europe today? Do you know what the women of Belgium, of Servia, of Flanders and even of your own race in the old land have suffered by the in- vading funs? Do you know that thousands and tens of thousands, with their little ones, are driven starving from 150 Huron Men for Huron -'s Own, an ' hi 15 Days. xcuse L so a• 4 a w • ¥ $ their homes to die in misery; that they are being violated and slaughtered? Do you realize that if this war is not fought out in Europe that you and your children may be forced to share the suffering of those in Europe? Do you realize that if Canada is to protect her people, her homes and her liberty, her men must be given without stint to take part in this great struggle? Thousands of glorious mothers, wives and sisters have given their dearest to this cause of humanity and of .Empire. Can you meet this type of womanhood in social intercourse? Are you content to see other mothers, wives and sisters proudly sending off their manhood to protect you and your mein►folk? Or will you meet the burden of this generation with COURAGE—"the highest of divine virtues?" uri
