Grant Andison Paid Tribute to Memory of Pte, Chas. McMillan Declared He was One of the Finest Lads that ever donned Khaki Uniform Grant Andisol'a Ltribu1.0 to the mem- ory of Pte, Charlie Uellillan, matte fermi the pulpit of Knox church, last Sunday, on the oecasinn of the special utetanrial tierviee for Lieut. Fred. Hall and Pte. :McMillan, was in the follow- ing words :- Dr. Gibson and Chi ishan ft lends : 1t is not an ea-ty task that has fallen to my lot this morning, I ran assure you, for not only is it hard for the to find words with which to pay it fitting tribute to the memory of one of the finest lads that ever do's ed the khaki uniform, but nit any event in all any rut•eer has affected me so deeply as the death in action at the front of Charlie e tJilltut, His was One of the most lovable and unselfish characters it hits ever been my privilege to come in contact with acid during all the time he was in my p employ not wend passed ons harsh r be- tween us, In fact, I can never re- member having heard 111111 say an Un- kind word to or about anyone. As an employee lie was one of the most faithful, loyal and effirient a man was ever bleseed with. We miss hirn sore- ly and I will long treasure the mem- ory of his valued services while with my firm. Charlie McMillan was one of thnae fellows who was always on the job, cheerfully accepting what- ever task fell t.p his lot to do, with that happy smile of his that made him such a favorite in buriness, on the athletic field and in other spheres of life. Then the challenge 'tame 10 him to play the game in the present war. He enlisted with that same spirit of determination to do his best that ehararterized hirn in other walks of life. I will never forget the morn- ing that he informed ate that he was going to enlist. With teats standing in his eyes he said ;-"I do not want to go, but of three of us here, I think that I ant needed the least at home and an I centiliter it my duty to go over to France and do my bit." Thus s andto he went olit NOW n to train t [ die ; and as we think of his great self- sacrifice, well may we repeat at his memorial service this morning, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay clown his life for his • friends." Mr. Andison at this stage read po- tions of two lettere he had received from two of Pre. MrMillan's dearest friends. The fleet was from hie moth- er, because it conveyed a message to many of his old friends iu the con- gregation, stating, as he finished, that these were the heart-rending lines penned by one nt this tear's greatest heroes, for a nation that nae produce such mothers as Mra. Geo, McMillan and such sons as bets, can never be conquered. He also read a letter of sympathy from one of Charlie's chums, a young than who was prom- inently connected with the congrega- tion, now in England waiting his Darn to go over, to the thing line. Continu- ing his remarks. "Who would not envy such a eulogy as thie, so bears tifully written by one young man to to the memory of his shush 2 In conclusion, I will endeavor to pass nn to you, two of the thoughts that T feel were uppermost in Charlie's mind as he faced the end, in the first plane, it. was that night when he bow- ed his athletic frame down in front of whet -el now stand, as he was bap- tiseri, then manfully stood op as he made this profession of faith when nni0ng with this en gregataon, Then that other voile he told me about the last time I saw him, the day his bat• talion, the 71st, left Wondetoek for overseas --the farewell to his old pat- ents in Brussels, when he was home nn laetleitve. And now as we recall the scenes and Ilia passing, I do not think thitl.in all literature can mere beautiful words be found to describe them than tbnse famous lines from ManCaulay's "Ho'atins," "Poe how can man die better Than pacing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathera, And the temples of bit dad 1'" Time died Charles E. McMillan, heroically and unselfishly fighting for the principles his church and country stand for in this war, and in defence of his loved ones at home here in Canada. Mr. Andison then thanked Dr. Gib- son for the privilege of being allowed to pay his humble tribute to the mem- ory of one of the Knox church heroes. F.

As early its the 901, marked irldleaLlotls of brewing weather changes and etornle will be apparent in sections to the Westward, The barometer will begin falling, wanner weather will come on, cloudiness will overcast, and rain will set In Lo Westward. During Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the 1011e llth and 12th, these changes will push their way Eastward across the nonntl'y, followed all the way very pronpely by Winter rain, turning in doe oder to sleet and snow, with the regular wi id up of rising bararnelev and change to fair and touch colder weather. By this order of things, anybody, except he who "won't", 0011 see that, all sections along the Weatto Bust progress of the great weather Lenin, will receive, ill regular, succes- sive order, a day or so of wateuee, "weather breeding weather," followed by to day Or so of storminess, rain and snow, and winding up with a day or so cleating, colder weather. This order of nature is not a theory ; tt is a fundamental fact, as true and demur surable as any other fact in nature or science. Our stem and weather forecasts flu 'not "call for storms all the time," any tune than they do for fair, open weather "all lire time." '1'o all whin will use candor and cotumr11 sense, they call for the variety and variation which we experience, and in just such ,way that, any one, except 1lle food, may figure nut just about the time when the different varieties of storm and weather are going to hit his locality. This is the conclusion of every honest, fair-minded roan who nndertekee to prove tate tvuth for himself, This, and this only, is the reason wily intelligent, fair-minded people have stuck to us for forty years. They have found a hundred. times the worth of their mosey -1 hey Nave encouraged us, and 11y their sup - December Weather forecasts pot t have enabled us to live and early A regular storm period is central on the 6th, extending from the 2nd to the 7th. Owing to the imminence of the Venus period, aid the moral's first quat ter, and passage over the celestial equator ne the let and 2nd, we may expect the preceding reacLiounry petiod to hold over into the regular period, hence there will be threaten- ing conditions, with more or leas storminess, as December comes in. On and touching the 2nd, expect a de- cided fall if the barometer, a marked increase of temperature, with South winds, cloudiness and rain, wind and thunder. especially toward the South. A shift t reaction to rising barometer and change to colder, may probably follow about the 2'i d to 4th, but storm conditions willnickl return and q Y oma from about bl ay the 401, to Thurs- day the 7111, we may look for return of falling barometer, South winds, cloudiness and. renewed storms of rain. The disturbances of this period will require three or four days t0 pass quite across the country, from the point of their origin in the West, to their disappearance in the East. Durinc these days, each section will have its share of all the changing weather phases, as they succeed each other in their consecutive march from West to East. This outlook practical- ly gives promise of two distinctive storm centers to pass over the cou11t- ry during the first week in December, Two distinctive baronietic reactions to higher, will be attended by two marked changes to colder, with brief intet•val of cleating weather. These frequent and sudden changes from one extreme to another of temperature, even in midwinter, it will be remem- bered, are the characteristics of the Venus influence. Other things being equal, it is an easy thing for Jupiter Pluvins to stir up a thunder storm any time during the dominance of a rin ns at this Venus period. Such atow season of the year are always quickly followed by rains turning to ice and snow, with a cold wave that needs to be anticipated and prepared for. So sudden are the changes that follow in these Winter Venus periods, that on the work. A regular et nem period is central on the 1711), exteuriing from the kith to the 20,1t.
