Treemerete Listowel Standard gives the follow• lug repot t of an address delivered in that town by ltev. Robe. (Capt,) Pear- son formerly of Ethel locality :---The Methodist church was crowded on Sunday evening when Urapt Itev "Bob" Pearson, ll. P. P., spoke of the war. It wets only through aecident that Capt. Paatsou was able to be preemie ae the dale of sailing of the vessel tvhfelr tai:es pito baek to Manes has been chtmgetl. it teas 12 yettre singe Captain Pearson resided in Listowel. Ile is it high sellout graduate and tau ex-nleutber of the feothail and baseball CAPT. PEARSON clubs. Of all the honors that have been conferred on Capt. Pearson he considers it the greatest Mall to beat- tached to the troops from Canada serving in France and Belgium. People at home do not appreciate all that the Canadians have done said Capt. Pearson. The Canadians form the most efficient fighting units on the Western front, they are the most re- sourceful Wren in the army, and as workers have a reputation second Lo none. There has trot been an engage- ment where the Canadians have failed and their power of resistance is well kuown. Of the Canadians the Ger- mane say 1—They are strong raiders. 2—They never desert, 3—They never surrender. These three Oanadian characteristics have been found writ- ten on documents taken from Ger- mau prisoners, General Byng gave strong praise to Bing's boys—tree Oau- adlans. He says they are "IrresiBt- able in Defence' and "Strong ill At- tack." The Americaus also appreciate What tine Canadians have done, saying "You have done wonderful" and' we hope we can do as well." Canadians also receive great praise from Sir Donglas Haig. Speaking of the religion of the boys at the front Capt. Pearson said; that many books had been written and ad- dresses given that were along the wrong track. A soldier is neither an angel nor a devil when be gets into uniform, but just man, There may be certain changes in him when he comes back, but his ideals will he much the same as when he went away. A soldier's life in Canada, in England and in Prance is tat times very mon- otonous and when they get leave sometimes there is a tendency to "celebrate," Certain fellows have been tempted and gene dowel, but the stone happens in civilian life. While the speaker could not say that he lied seen any great flocking to prayer meetings or communion service before big engagements, there was true re- ligion in hearts of soldiers, but many of thew if they flocked to meetings thought that they ,night, be accused of being afraid, and that is the last thing asoldier wants. When the soldiere return they will be ,- 1 Very dernocratie, 2 Strong behind aggressive Govern- ment, 8 Independent regarding. polities, 4 Opposed to denominational ideas. The speaker gave great praise to the work of the Red Cees, the Chap- lains and the Y, M. O. A. In closing, Capt. Pearson appealed to his hearers not to be discouraged, but the war would last a long time yet, Greater sacrifices would be needed.re ate) restrictions made lot and there would belYl Ol'0 campaigns a 119 for fends. He hoped the peopleat home world be generous, for the man [vire only prays re getting off very easy, The address from beginning to end was one of strong common sense and an honest Ilietere of life at the front e. 9 CP .1)b the speaker. Notwithstanding that the address was given in the church, when the Ca Cain lad i 1 finished s ealtiu the p p t: congregation broke into loud ap)llanse, ADDRESS AND PRESENTATION.—A roost enfoyable time was spent at the home of A. end Mrs. Dundas, where a large numbetr of friends gathered to wish their son, 'Willis Godspeed before his departnee overseas.
