Best De 1 Livers Stirring Addresses Friday of last week was a red- , letter day for the village of Exeter wizen the memorial to the fallen heroes of war was unveiled. The weather was very disagreeable but in spite of this a large number from town and country were present for the ceremony. Stores were closed and a half holiday was proclalmed at'h t e school. ch ole The echo 1 o children were present in a body and sang a chorus,. 'The band supplied excellent music. Reeve Arthur Mitchell, of Usbrne and Reeve Beavers of Exeter, gave short addresses and introduced Capt. T, M. Best, of Hamilton, who also gave a short impressive address before unveiling the monument. Because of the severity of the wea- ther the ceremony was short. Following the unveiling an ad- journment was made to the. Opera House but only a small percentage of the crowd could be accomodated in the building. Reeve Beavers was chairman and said that he was glad to see so many Present. All had come with mingled feelings of rejoicing and regret. The councils of Usborne and Exeter thought it fitting that some token be erected in memory of the fallen her- oes so they joined their efforts with the result seen to -day. There had been some, criticism about the monu- ment and the bird on the top, but the matter was not settled yet:. He was sure the firm would be willing to make amends to satisfy the pub- lic at Iarge and the returned boys in particular.. Rev. Dr. Fletcher was first called upon to speak. Dr. Fletcher said it was fitting that whoever spoke on this occasion should be prepared, but he was not. He was grateful for what had been accomplished during war and the influences that will 'flow from peace, and the events which followed. He was grateful that people had put ltheir heads together and their hands. in their pockets to build a memor- ial. He was not altogether pleased 1 with appearance of memorial but it was what it means, we must keep in mind. When children of the future look upon it, it is proper that they should remember what it stands for. We all should feel the inspiration of the sacrifice made. He referred to the splendid poem of Col McCrae, "In Flanders Fields." It is the duty of ministers to flash the torch .of peace around the world. Bents who went across hacl no wanner friends than ministers, so be hoped the boys would stand behind them now. Reeve Beavers then introduced Capt. Best to the audience as a man who at one time ran a mile in four minutes, 15 seconds. He had won many races in U. S. and Canada. He was also a veteran of two wars, hav- ing served in the, South African war as well as the past war. Capt. Best said there was no part of a meeting more interesting to hint than the remarks of the chair- man. They were the advertising agents. He had named his address, "Lest We Forget." When in the Afri- can war he was talking to some sol- diers about what Canada would do for them ou return. One soldier said, "It's alright for you to talk like that, but I've been through war before and I know how much is done." God and the soldiers are won- derful things when war is on. Many people pray during the war time who don't at any other time and during war nothing is too good for the soldiers, but afterward they are all forgotten." There were many things which assoldiersd to they y w' his e forget and some lessons to remember. We hear much about instruction and re- construction and the Great For- ward Movement. These he said, would bring great blessings to the partakers. In England the people were on their knees before the bat- tle of the Marne; but in Canada they did not realize the need. Every one in Canada had heard about Kitchen- er's big drive which would end the war. They heard about it over there for two years, but it never came. In the first two years we did not have a chance to win. Canada believed war would only last at few months at most but England knew better. In England a call to prayer was sent all over the country before the battle of Marne and the praying people ga- thered in the churches to pray. Can- ada only began to realize the serious- ness of the situation after reading of Canadians being pushed back when Haig ?tent a message that they were fighting with their backs to the wall. The call to prayer was the re- sult. Professional and business men found time to gather for prayer. The result was the sacrifice of time meant treat spiritual blessie . Then lie said, thepeople reached the high water mark Of spiritual development. They were ready to give or do any- -, for 'io sealiers and their Canso Everybody worked; every patriotic Beal was overs heerihed. He wish - el the same spirit had remained al- ways. He was optimistic enough then to believe it would.
