At the request of a number of min- <i.kers and otbere, Rev. Dr. W. T. Her. ridge, Moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly, has prepared the following prayer for such use in pub- lic and private devotion ae may be de- sired ; Almighty and ever blessed God, King of kings and Lord of 'lords, hear us now in 'Thy great mercy when we cry unto Thee. We rejoice that amid all earth's change. Thou Oldest the same in Thy wisdom and power and love. Be pleased in this hour of trial to reveal Thyself unto ue and to draw our spirits nearer to Thee. Look upon the sin and suffering of the time. Even ainid the tumult of war, let some strains of the angel's Bong when Obrist was born bring peace to troubled hearts. God save our King and country and the Empire to wbich we belong. Let Thy spirit guide the Councillors of the State and keep them calm and tearless. Be with the army and navy, and may we be prepared as a people for whatever sacrifices are demand- ed from us. Comfort those whose loved ones go forth at the call of duty, and may Thy presence cheer the loneliness of many a home. Assuage the griefs of the wound- ed and surround them with heel- ing ministries; and be pleased, O. merciful God, to give happy en- trance into Thy Kingdom to those *he shall be seen on earth no more. We beseech Thee to hear us for the return of peace. Rebuke the , violence of wicked men. Over- throw the pride that knows not Thee, that so this cruel strife may be ended and triumph given at last to those who fight for justice and liberty. Listen we humbly implore Thee, to our prayers and to the prayers that arise to Thee throughout the world. We confess that we have often been unthankful for Thy bee- eflts and have turned away our hearts from Thy law. Have mer- cy on ue, and forgive our iniquities Forsake us not, 0, God of onr sal- vation; but let Thy light shine in the midst of the darkeees until the darkneee disappears. And unto Thee, Father, Son and Spirit, shall be praise forever more Amen.

Que„ Aug. 80, Dear Jack :-- •duet a line to let you know 1 am tIfl alive and kicking, and in the very bait of heath, aa 1 hope this will Med you. Moot of our men have bad a cold for we got so wet the. day we arrived here. This le some camp,. be- lieve me, it is practically a .city, there are about $0.000 men In camp already and more coming every day. It is an ideal spot for a eamp of thio nature, we are surrounded by mountains and and on a Gunny day the scene is beau- tiful, such as you would delight In, It has been raining to -day, which is Sun- day, and one cannot see the tops of the mountains for the rain cloud,. The 33rd and 27th have been amalgamated and made into one company which brings us up to some 160 men in our company alone, there are 8 companiear to this battalion. We go out to tharanges every morning at 7 30 amt. 1 have never seen such large ranges in 'my life before, the butts are 3 to 4 mileson iimagine g,'so you can.. what they are like.. At present we are using deliberate fire, starting at 100 yards and working up to 500 yards, Then we are going to practise rapid fire, advancing on the targets, we have to work ourselves up from 12 to 15 rounds a minute, the professionals can fire 30 rounds a minute with the new rose rifle which we are using, it is a dandy, the back eight is over the bolt, there is no V or U only the apiture, you eye raise the sight up to 1,200 yds. there is no line to set the sight to anything between the 100 yards, we have to guess it which is just as well, and ranch quicker, for in active service we should have no time•to set our sights eo accurately as that, These rifles have the magazine outside like the old rifles, only much narrower and immovable, in fact it is• a peach of a rifle all round. The 48;h Highlanders ar- rived here about half an hour ago, 1,- 200 strong, a flue bunch of men. How is everybody in Wingham, all well I hope, please re. member me to everybody, and give my address to them, for I would like to hear from them. ' Wei'wveie ,issued with our uniforms yesterday, and boots, we all feel quite proud :of ourselves, for it makes us look like soldiers. Have the armouries been opened yet ? I am to be sergeant of the company and have about 38 men in my section, I have also been acting as Col. Sergt, for the 33rd. It looks to me as though they are going to make this a permanent company ground and that they will bring the militia here from all parte for their annual train - Inge. They have installed telephonee, electric light, and water all through the camp, which is miles in circum- ference. We do not know how much longer they "will keep us here, before sending us to the,war or where - ever they intend to send us. We are all on the hop to get away. There is some talk of sending us to Egypt, but I ex- pect we shall know soon. • You remember the ser- geant instructor we had in London est winter? Well he bas been at- tiohed to this battalion. Sergt. Garter is also here, but he is attaches to another Battalion. There are any amount of stores here which have been run up, built of wood and iron, andthey are all Frenchmen that have them, it sounds awfully queer to hear them specking their own language, and they have such a lot of actioes too. There is also a Large Y. M. C. A. here, and they have a free moving picture show in the open every night, one can stand away back and watch them, for the sheet is built high up. Now I think I must %lose but will writeagain soon, Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.

OLD BOYS' REUNION—The Old Boys' Reunion of Bluevale School on Sat- urday, Sept. 5, was favored with the only fine day in a week of rainy weather. The afternoon was ideal and the bright, mild sunlight, the animated crowds and the gay decorations of flags, pennants, bunting and evergreens gave the old school in its farewell a more festive aspect than per- haps it had ever known before. Inside the schoolhouse was exhibited a collection of photographs of former teachers and pupils which revived old memories to many who viewed them during the afternoon, On the grounds there was a constant success- ion of interesting events. Visitors arriving by train on Saturday were"'meMby auto- mobile and the Reception Committee, wearing badges of the school colors, blue and white, received the guests in the re, caption tent at the entrance to the grounds where a large number registered in the visitors' book, which makes an interesting memento of the occasion. The first event of the afternoon wau a baseball match be- tween the old boys and the single men in which the former won by a score of 9-8, in five innings. The line-up of the old boys was as follows:— Pitcher, Ed. Coulees; Catcher, Billy Han- ey; 1 st base, Charlie Elliott; 2nd base, Bob Musgrove; 3rd. base, Geordie Mc- Donald; R. Field, Jack Musgrove, Left Field Harry Diamond; Centre, Joe Breck- enridge; Short Stop, Jack Stewart. Amy Musgrove was umpire and did not lose any votes by his decisions Following the baseball match an interesting program was given on a platform erected under the school windows. Piper McDonald pro- vided music for the afternoon and his daughter, Miss Vera McDonald delighted the audience by her graceful School dan- ces, Rev. D. B. Thompson was chairman and among the numbers on the program were an historical sketch ofBluevale School read by Mr. Robt. Black and addresses by Mr. A. H. Musgrove, M. L A., Mr. A. MacEwen, Township clerk of Morris, and Mr. A. L. Posliff, Principal of Wingham Public School. Miss Barbara Thynne of Palmerston who was also a teacher here sang an expressive solo, "Cain' ye by Athol", and letters were read by Miss C. M. Messer from two other ex -teachers who were unable to be present, Mr. Thos. Farrow, Ex -M. P., of Collingwood and Inspector E. W. Bruce of Toronto. These letters were very interesting, recalling the people and incidents of the past in cow necti n with the he achooL Other numbers on the program were:—An address by Rev. C. Tate, a sold;, "School Days" by Miss Carrie Diamond, a duet "Hark to the Mandolin" by Misses Aitchison and Duff and a reading, "A Modern Sermon" by Miss M, Duff.

W. Kine;' Putting the shot—Stewart McNaughton. The Tug -of -War between Morris and Turnberry proved to be very exciting. To the martial strains of the bagpipes, the two teams marched around the grounds before taking their places. It was a close struggle but Turnberry won by a margin. Craik Cleghorn was captain of the victori- ous team and Gordon Hall of their opponents. One of the most striking events of the day took place just before supper when a parade was formed to march from the old schools grounds to the new grounds, north of the Methodist Church, for the purpose of planting a tree in honour of the old boys and girls of the school. The tree, gaily decorated with flags and streamers was borne by the school Yell as they passed along the street. At the head of the procession were two boys on ponies, Jack McMichael and Cameron McDonald, Then followed the ex -teach- ers and the reception tion committee in three p automobiles preceded by the piper. Other sections of the parade were the School Trustees, tete Women's Institute, the Literary Society and the Old Boys' and Girls', At the new school grounds the tree was ably planted b . A. 11.

In the meadows near the mill. By the wayside, on the. -hill;. In the fiielde that wander down To the edges of the town, And beside the farmhouse door, ',Farewell summer' blooms once more. Little asters blue and white, Many as the stars at night; Summer's flowers have blown away You now oome to make us gay Who the fields are growing brown And the leaves come fluttering down. How I love to gather you, Purple flowers and white and blue, On the cloudy afternoons When the wind makes pleasant tunes In the orchard grasses dry Where the ripened apples lie. Dear to me are the days of spring, And the summer makes me sing; Winter has its time of oheer, But the best days of the year Come when, close beside our door, "Farewell summer" blooms once more. —St. Nicholas. Holding Back. It is reported that only about one- fourth of those who enlisted with the overseas contingent now at Valcartier, Quebec, are native born Canadians. This is born out by recent orders issued to Company Oomrnanders in the Mili- tia, they being instructed to "especial- ly urge native born Canadians to en- list ". This order does not apply to enlistment for service abroad but to ordinary Militia enlistment. Ap- parently it is only Canadians who need to be "especially urged". That this is the case a glance at the service roll of the Wingham Militia Company will prove. The number of native born Canadians on the roll can be counted on one's fingers, the great majority being old countrymen. It is cleat therefore that there is something the matter with Canadians when so few are willing t3 make sacrifice of time and convenience entailed by Militia service. The "sparrow", the despised ..cherer who has born the abuse of p . "native born Canadians" for years is the one who is coming forward, botb to join the Militia for the defense of Canada and serve on the overseas con- tingent as aQ representative of Canada, Why are Canadians holding back P Bluevale Mrs. and W.

Two yea/ s have gone and still we miss her, Friends may think the wound ishealed, But they little know the sorrow That lies within our hearts cemented. How we loved that darling mother, As she last looked in;our eyes I Little thought so soon in parting, She'd be taken to the skies. By her death we felt a sorrow That seemed far too deep for tears, How our spirits sank within ue As we thought of future years. When we longed again to find her Where there's now the vacant chair What a pang shoots through our being When we think she is not there. Through the threads of her existence Lowered her 'neath the autumn sod, Death from her met no resistance, As her spirit passed to God what a joy! Just the assurance She has gained the heavenly prize, And though here no more we'll see In r We shall meet her in the skies. ' We who roand her grave would linger, Weeping o'er what God has won, Let us too be just ae ready,' For the coming of his son. We who looked upon the casket, Looked upon those closed .eyes Know that she is safe in glory, And allures us to the skies. Ah l dear mother, we your kindred We who heard your latest breath, We, your husband and your children Have between us—simply death, Why 1 you'll meet us at the river, Where, with infinite surprise 1 We shall all find out the reason, You were taken to the skies.
