, Hero's Own Narrative of Epic Exploit
of 22nd french -Canadians
at St. Eloi
,A vied description of the battle of
S. Elo1 in which Lieut. Peter Browne
of the 22nd Battalion distinguished
himself, is given in a letter which this
young officer sent home to his father,
H, A. Browne of 2050 Waverley Street,
(Montreal. The official Canadian eye-
;witness, in his, story of the fighting,
made mention of the splendid gallan
'try of Lieut. Browne and the mem.
lbers of his machine gun ,section—
which included ' Corp. P. Lambert,
'D.C.M., M.M. The 22nd Battalion of
French-Canadians has established for
dtseif a reputation for gallantry which
is the equal to that won by any Cun
adian unit on the battlefront, ' The let -
ler isas follows: "My Dear F..thor:
Just a few lines to tell you that I ala
in London, on special leave. i will
not write very long because I don't
feel quite well yet after my terrible
experience, but I wish to say that as
a born soldier yourself, you may be
proud of your son, Peter.
Pardonable Pride
"In a few weeks I will, be made
a captain. I am recommended for the
Victoria Cross, and it is even rumor-
ed that I may get the Legion of Honor.
It looks very foolish to talk like this,
but it appears that I succeeded in do-
ing something 'wonderful' or, rather,
'splendid,' as Gen. Turner, V.C., told
his staff, I managed, God knows how,
to knock out more than three hundred
Germans with but a handinl of men—
. twenty-six. Everybody, from generals
'down, came down to see ole. Even.
Gen. Lessard wants to see me. Do
not think 1 exaggerate, father, dear.
.I am glad I succeeded in doing good.
"For three Hours I gave orders to
majors and captains. That young
fellow is as cool as a cucumber,' said
'Gen, Kitchen. I cannot give you any
'further details, for my memory is a
blank or nearly so; but I may say
that I went through the most gruelling
experience. I made (arapets with
dead Germans and Scots. We had to
fight with cold steel, as rifles refused
to work on account of the mud:
Carried Shoulder -high
"The Germans attacked us at 3.45
a.m., when I had only six men loft
alive (after an intense bombardn.ent).
Breast to breast, steel to steel, we met,
and came out top dog. Later I man-
aged to scrape together about twenty-
five stragglers, and with those .(bo -
longing to all regiments) I held the
line against repeated attacks. Per:
sonally I killed three Germans, My
blood was up, and I fought like a
fiend with my empty revolver, my
steel helmet and even my fists. I may
tell you, father, that th'e''littte lieuten-
ant' is now a byword in the 2nd Divis-
ion. Regiments (the 24th of Montreal
was one of them) came in a delegation
to cheer and carry me shoulder high
'around the rest camp. All' I had on
me then was a pair of breeches (given
'me by Gen. Turner himself) and au
army blanket.
"I must leave you, es my bead is
rather 'heavy.' Best kisses to mother
and all. Tell mother dear that her
prayers protected my life in a most
auspicious manner. Myt But you
soon find out here that there is a God.
Lovingly your son. (Signed) Peter
L. Brown. 'P.S.—Father, this affair I
hope is the stepping stone, but my
luck is wonderful."

NHEUMATISM IN
THE BLOOD
It Com Only be Cured by
Thoroughly Enriching the
Blood Supply."
Not so long ago rheumatism
was looked upon as a pain in the
muscles or joints brought on by
exposure to dampness or bad wea
they Now doctors know it is
rooted in the blood, and while(
exposure may start the pain, no-
thing but the ,removal ,of the
poisonous acid from the blood will
cure the trouble It is a waste of
both time and money to try to
cure rheumatism with liniments,
poultices or anything that only
goes akin deep Rubbing lotions
into the skin may give temporary
relief, but it actually helps to
circulate the poisonous acin more
freely and thus in the end increase
the trouble, and perhaps leave
the sufferer permanently ca'ippil-'
ed The one cure, rho only cure,
for rheumatism is to drive the
acid which causes the trouble out
of the blood To do this no oth-
er remedy can equals Dr Williams
Pink Pills which actually. make
new blood, sweeps out the poison-
ous acid, loosens the stiffened,
aching joints, and bring good
health and comfort Here is the
proof Mr, Joseph .Crouse, ef.
Nineveh, N S., says; "For several
years I was severely afflicted with
rheumatism The trouble seem ea
to locate in all the joints in my
body, and my suffering at times
was most intense, and the disease
greatly interfered with my activ-
ity I' doctored steadily for a
long time, but the trouble !was
obstinate and did not yield .in the
least to the doctor's treatment
One day a friend told me of some
cures of rheumatism by the use of
Dr Williams' Pink P11s and strong

boxes completely cured me of the

Golden Text, Ps. xxxiv, 22—Commen-
tary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Part of Paul's message was that the
ship would be lost and that they would
be cast upon an island (xxvii, 22, 26).
And about midnight of the fourteenth
night of the storm the Shipmen deem-
ed that they were nearing some land
and, taking soundings, found it even.
so; therefore they cast out four an-
chors and longed for daylight. It warn
while they were thus anchored that
Paul persuaded them to take some food
(xxvii, 27-38). When it was day they
saw a creek with a shore where they
might possibly run the dhip aground;
so, cutting off the anchors and hoisting
the mainsail, they made for, the shore;
the fore part of the ship stuck fast, but
the hinder part was broken with the
violence of the waves, yet all got safe-
ly: ashore, either by swimming or on
broken pieces of the ship (xxvii, 30-44).
as God had told' Paul by the angel.
Notice in verses 30, 31, 42, 43 how
some might have hindered the purpose
of God to save them all. Concerning
the great salvation, God has provided
it for all and wibl have all to be saved
and is not willing that any should per -
fah (I Tim. li, 4; Tit, it, 11, margin; II
Pet. Ili, 9), but if any will not accept
God's way they must perish, not be-
cause tie wills it. but because they
decide against Rim, or. us He said, "Ye
will not come unto me." ,"1 would
* * * ye would not." "Israel would
none of me" (John v, 40; Matt. xxili,
37; PS.lxxxi, 11). When they reached
the ilind they found that they were on
the island- which we now call Malta,
and they received much kindness From
the people, who because of the rain
and cold kindled a fire and welcotned
them. They are called barbarous peo-
ple. but many who are so railed have
often shown more kindness than those
called Christian. It is deeds that tell.
not words or names.
A few years ago the world was
shocked by the atrocities of the Borers
in China, but now the civilized 1?) na-
tions of Europe are far ahead of all
barbarians in monstrous and indescrib-
able atrocities, and the end is not yet
(June, 1010). The words in xxvii, S0,
"When it was day" and the change
from being exceedingly tossed on the
sea by a great tempest to being again
on the land, make us think of one night
when, until the morning watch, the
.disciples toiled in a boat against a con-
trary wind, and He saw them, yet not
tin the fourth watch did He come
walking on the sea, but when they re•
eeived Him into their boat they were
immediately at the land (John vi,1S-21).
We are certainly in the worst storm
our poor earth ever saw, and men's
hearts are failing them for fear, be-
cause of the distress of nations with
perplexity, but the day will dawn, a
morning without clouds, and we will
not be shipwrecked, but caught up to
meet Him in the air, whose we are
and whom we serve (Luke xxi, 25,
26; Rom. xili, 12; II Sam. xxbiI,• 4; I
Thesis. iv, 16, 17). Our God shall come
and shall not keep silence; though Ile
tarry we will wait for Him (Ps. 1, 3;
Heb. x, 36, 37).
Paul gathered sticks to help make
the fire burn, then came the viper, and
again he is misjudged and thought t0
be a murderer, but when he shook oft
the beast and felt no harm and did not
fall down dead they changed their
minds and said he was a god (xxviii,
8.6), just like the people at Lystra
(Acts xis), but in the reverse order, for
they first worshiped him and then
stoned him. Such is poor human na-
ture that judges by nppearances. But
let us lay to heart some lessons, think -
ins just for a moment of Peter, who
warmed himself where be should not
have been and brought upon himself a
lot of trouble, for the viper, the old
serpent, took hold of him and would)
scarce let go. , Consider your prayer
meeting the place where you ought to
go to get warmed up. Have you ever
-thrown on a stick or two to help make
the fire burn? A word of praise or
prayer to magnify Him. Then did the
viper light on you as you overheard
some one ridicule your testimony?
Well, what did you do—fall down dead
and never speak in meeting again, or
did you shake off the beast and fed
no harm?
God had another handful for Paul
and his companions by making them
welcome in the home of the chief man
of the island, and then Re had re-
ward for Pubilus by healing hisefather
by the hands of Paul. That led to
many coming to be healed, and more
handfuls for Paul in the form of many
honors, and when they departed they
were loaded with all that they needed.
During the three months that they re-
mained on the island Paul would not
fail to do as he always did and preach
Jesus and the resurrection, and though
IR Sri .i0. so recorded, we shall surely
hear of it and its results in the king-
dom. Not all the things that our Lord
Himself said and did are recorded
(John xx, 30, 31; xxi, 25), and if some
• of ours are not written o art all
earth a
His through us are written in heavea,
and not even a cup of cold water given
in His name shall lose its reward.
Even our thoughts of Flim are record-
ed (Mal: ill, 16). In His service we are
assayed that such things as are neces-
sary will without fell be given us
(Pill: iv, 19), for the promise is "with
Him freely all things" (Rom. viii, 32),
Seo also Matt vi; 32, 33.

ON HER LUNGS.
RAISED PHLEGM AND BLOOD.
Never neglect what at first seems to be
but a slight cold. You think perhaps
you are strong enough to fight it off, but
colds are not so easily fought off in this
northern climate, and if they are not
attended to at once will sooner or later
develop into some serious lung trouble
such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and per-
haps that dreadful disease, consumption.'
Miss Kasye McDonald, Sydney Mines,
N.S., writes: "Last winter I contracted
a severe cold, and it settled on my lungs.
I would cough and raise phlegm and
blood. I had the cough for a month,
and had medicine from the doctor, but it
did not seem to do .me any good. I
really thought I had consumption.
My friends advised me to use Dr.
Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, which I did,
and it gave me great relief. I sin very
glad I used ' Dr. Wood's,' and would
recommend it to every one."
You can procure Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup from any druggist or dealer,
but be sure and get "Dr. Wood's," when
you ask for it as there area number of
imitations onthe market, which some
dealers may try to palm off on you as
the genuine.

A HIGHLAND LEGEND.
In the days when fairies lived in the
hillocks that rose all through the high-
lands there lived an old piper who had
three sons.
Now, theprofession of piping was a
most honorable .one, and the old piper
was very anxious to have all his sons
follow in his footsteps and become pip-
ers like himself.
Two or them had no trouble at all in
learning, but Conal, bis youngest boy,
was ri great trialto him, for try as he
might he eonldn't master a single tune,
110 *atter how easy it was.
Poor Conal was very unhappy.
One evening he was wandering
around, thinking mournfully of his
want el' dill, when On nearing a green
hillock matted which he had often
played when a little lad he saw that it
was open.
Of course Conal knew it was a fairy
b111. for every one in the land knew
all shoat the fairies.
Couai also knew just what to do lu a
case like this, so, taking his knife, he
smelt it in the doorway and boldly en-
tered the fairy hall.
The little people were, by no means
pleased to see a mortal in their own
home and crowded around him, angrily
demanding;
"Why do you come here? What do
you want in our house?" '
Conal, who was seldom scared at
anything, was not alarmed now and
answered:
"I want you to help me, for well I
know you can."
"And what help do you want?" they
asked, for Conal was making a good
impression on them. he was so polite.
"I want to learn to play the pipes I
am so stupid 1 cannot bring from them
even one little air. Now, I know you
are masters of all hinds of music, so
do please help me!" said Coital.
"Well, that means no harm to usf"
said the fairies, for they were gratified
to see that Conal was only asking a
favor.
"Well, well, Conal, you have always
been a good boy. You have never
scoffed at us, and we'll teach you to
play."
So they brought forth n tine set of
pipes, and they showed Conal how to
use this [Inger and how ro use the oth-
er and how to blow his breath and how
to bold the pipes.
What a wonderful lesson that wast
Soon, very soon, Conal was fingering
and drawing forth entrancing melodies
as well as the felrles Ibemselves,
11 was true ever after. Conal was
the finest piper in the whole country,
and his fame went abroad even to
other lends,
I agree with Barnum that "the man
who had something to sell and did
pot advertise It was like a man wink-
ing at a pretty girl in the dark."—Sir
