To the Editor Exeter 'Advocate ; A news item in the local;paper of a neighboring village dealing with an incident in connection with a meeting. of The Ministerial -Association of South Huron held in the James St." Church, Exeter, on Monday, , May, 2nd, and litany incorrect rumors in circula- tion in regard to the incident, impel vie to 'give through your paper a cor- rect' account of what actually occur- red on the occasion referred to, and to utter my vigorous protest. • During the discussion of a paper on "Evangelism" given bp the Rev. Mr. Sniitli of Hensall, in a most shameful and uncalled for attackon. the B xit- ish y ar •m -Mx. Smith' used these words—"The British army goes into battle singing Tipperary, yes, singing Tipperary, while their ,enemy, the Ger- man army, goes into battle Singing Psalms, praising Clod, and erring to God for victory. But then what can you expect but 'Tipperary from an army the very chaplains of which are a bunch of boozers." This last expression was vigorously assen- ted to by Rev. Mr. McAllister of Ex- eter, who used the words, "'That's quite correct." Now Mr. Editor, at such e time as tate present when our Empire is in the throes of a great life and death . struggle, when the conflict between right and wrong, betweenthraldom and freedom, is being waged on .a scale• unpreceden- ted in the history of the world, when the Canadian losses in one battle alone will number six or eight thous- and, surely it; is not the time for Canadian public men to speak con- temptuously of our noble army, and particularly of theself-sacrificing clergymen who have gone as chaplains to minister to the dying and the wounded. This is a very serious charge to brake. '1'lae onus of proof rests with the Rev. Mr. Smith.. Nothing short of the actual source of information will he accepted by 'the public' in or- der that these charges reflecting upon the whole body,of' the chaplains (many of whom are my personal friends) may be weighed upon their merits to as- certain if they are:actuallyr true, or are trader by secret sympathisers of the German cause. How does Mr. Snaith reconcile the conduct of the Psalm ' singing, God praising Germans with their repudia- tion of solemn international treaties which they designate as 'scraps of paper' with the Psalm singing Ger- man soldiers who have ravaged thou - State for the colonies in the time of sands of defenceless and helpless wo- men so that legislation is being con- sidered to deal with the degraded off- spring of such brutal and depraved men ; or as Lord 'Kitchener openly charged them in the house of Lords the other day, with murdering woun- ded British soldiers left helpless on the field of battle ; or with the Psalm singing pirates who laughed as their: Innocent and helpless victims struggl- ed Hopelessly in the. merciless waves, Mr. Asquith recently pointed out in one of His speeches, that while British sailors had rescued hundreds of perishing Germans, not one single effort has been made by the Germans during the naval engagements of the present war to rescue a British sail- or. Only the other day the whole world was startled and horrified when the news of the torpedoing of the Lusitan- ia vas known, when her 1134 inno- cent victims were sent to a watery grave without a moment's warning, an act of savagery that the deeds of the lowest barbarians cannot compare with, Plvern rule of modern warfare as agreed upon by the Iiague Conferenc- es onferencees has been ruthlessly violated bye the Germans, and yet in the face of this and numb. more there are judgments, so warped, patriotism, so degraded, that these Psalm singing defiers of God and truth and humanity have everything in their favor, in the op- inion. of .these clergymen, as compared with the British soldier, who, actua- ted by the highest principles of truth and honor, Is waging a war for the civil and religious libertg, of the whole world, and who, forsooth' be- guiles the hours of the long weary marches, with the innocent ibut De Laval Cream Separator TheWorld Standard.
