turned veterns marched in a body and
with the relatives of deceased soldiers
occupied the front pews. Pastor of
congregation, Rev. Mr. _Boyle, had
charge of the service, preaching from
text "Greater love hath no man than
this that be giveth his life for his
friends." After sermon congregation
stood with bowed !leads while Lieet,-
H. McLean, Wingham, who saw
service in France and won decora-
tions, read the names and inscription
OS the memorial tablet. Bugler Bins -
cliff, Wingham, who was also in
Fiance, sounded the "Last Post"
after which congregation resumed
their seats. Rev, Mr, Boyle, in the
order in which the names were read,
made a short and fitting reference to
the life and his personal touch with
each. James McCallum second son of
late James and Mrs. Mcballntn was an
active member of the Managing
Board also of the choir and Pres. of
Y. P. Society ; ; Richard Fay, a

bell, son of Charles and Mrs Camp-
bell, 9th line, loved for this many very
fine characteristics ; Elmer McGuire,

sented to congregation by W. H, and
IiIrs, Ferguson, in loving memory of
their daughter, Nurse Grace N. Fergu-

were specially applicable in connec-
tion with her life of service. Peter

ness in carrying passengers. There

a score of 9 to 10. In the afternoon,
