CITRISTMAS GIVING.
The boys and girls of Clinton seem
to be entering into the seir:t of
self-sacrifice which is be:ng . created
by the seriousness of the tines in
which we live. As an instance, the
Junior A,Y.P,A. of St. Paul's
church and the Junior League of
Wesley church on Monday evening
last each had a Christmas tree en-
tertainment in connect:on with their
society, the young people and the
older ones gathering to enjoy .a pro-
gram provided by the former. In-
stead of each child receiving a pres-
ent from the trees each one brought
something to place on it and these
toys and gifts were afterwards rack-
ed and shipped to the Old Brewery
Mission in Montreal to be distribut-
ed. to the poor children connected
with the mission who without some
such assistance would have little of
Christmas cheer. All taking part in
the "giving" Christmas trees are to
be commended for the. helpfulness

5, A. CHRISTMAS TREE.
The Salvation Army held their
Christmastree entertainment on
Thursday evening last and it proved
to he quite a pleasant affair. Ad-
jutant Damage and others had been
busy for weeks drilling the children
for the various drills and songs and
as a result they executed them very
well indeed. Captain ,Terrow and
Lieut- 'roved of Goderich were Pres-
ent, the former occupying the chair
and the latter assisting in the mus-
ical part of the program. After the
program bad been given good old
Santa Claus appeared and distribut-
ed the gifts "from the tree, which had
been the great object of interest for
the children during the entire even-
ing. The hall was prettily decorat-
ed, showing much work and good
taste on the part of those in charge.
There was a good turnout, a nun -
bei of theboys in khaki taking it
in, and the proceeds amounted to a
snug sum.
MONDAY'S MEETING.
A largely attended anti enthusias-
tic recruiting meeting was held in
the town hall on Monday evening.
Lieut: Col. Combe presided and
ad-
dresses were given by Rev. S. J.
Ailin and Mr, A. H. Musgrove, M. 1'.
P., Wingham.
Rev. NIr. Allin took occasion to
assure his hearers that the churches
and the pastors of the different de-
nominations in Clinton were wholly
in sympathy with the present re-
cruiting effort, that the present war
was not so mucin a war between na-
tions or empires as one for ideals
and the side of Britain and her Al-
lies was surely the side of right
and justice ansi world freedom. Ho
spoke of• the splendid record of the
Canadian soldiers in the prestnt war
and said their example shoUld he an
incentive to others.
Mr. Musgrove stated briefly the
causes leading up to the war rigid
dwelt for some time upon the pre-
paration made by Germany and the
stern, relentless ntilitaryn spirit pre-
vailing. IIe pointed at that the
