A TALK 014 PIIYSICAL CULTURE
A large number of school children,
Collegiate, Model and School of
Science students, with many of the
mothers, fathers and teachers gather-
ed in Wesley church on Friday after-
noon to see Mr. Crossley, give his
physical culture exercises. '
Mr. Crossley is a firm believer in
these exercises as a road to health-
ful living and long life. "If you
young people will but keep them up
regularly," said he before commenc-
ing his -demonstration, "you will live
anywhere fifteen y c fr m o teen to twenty -fits
years !anger and will enjoy life,"
The exercises are very simple and
look easy to perform but Mr. Cross-
ley said he had no doubt there were
boys of seventeen pres;nt who could-
n't
ould••n t iso somef u
o the stunts, though he
himself confessed to sixty-four.
In order that they should' be easy
to remember ti r Cr '•si ,
Mr. J . o., ey has sys-
temized his system, having seven ex-
ercises for the arms, seven for the
lower limbs, seven for the body, sev-
en for the head and neck, seven for
the hands and wrists, seven for the
breathing and seven 'extra. Be ex-
plained that his system would cost
forty dollars if learned from physical
culture experts and as he went
through tete various exercises the
boys searching him unconsciously
found themselves imitating him end
it is safe saying that many of the
younger ones, some of the
onessince. ol, also, have been trying I liddoer n.
INTEREST IS GROWING,
Considerable busine-s was gone
through at the regular sleeting of
the Women's Patriotic and Relief
Society, on Friday afternoon. It was
decided that the Society should do-
nate $100 to the Belgian Fund. Af-
ter a discussion of the matter it was
decided that each volunteer , going
from Clinton or Immediate vicinity
should be completely outfitted by the
society and as soon as the names
are in the outfits will be forwarded
to the camp at Trondon. A complete'
outfit was packed and forwarded to
Mr L, Manning, a Clinton boy, son
of Mr. W. Manning of town, who has
voluhtcerred from Fort -Williatn and
is' naw in camp at Winnipeg. The
bale for the Red Coss Society will
he packed next week, Nov. 20th, and
those having work out will kindly
see that it is sent in by that date
so that as large a hale as poiisihle
may go forutanl by the first ship
meat, As the ladies wish to have alt
exhibition of the work before peer-
ing it, it is hoped tine work will be
in in good time,
This will be the last public meeting
before Ohrastuas, but after the poli -
days arcr over they will be; res lined
with redoubled enthusiasm,
The interest in this work is ,but
, beginning, for though the ladies have
been expending a good deal of time
and energy, the general interest is
but awakening, no doubt being stfm-
ulated not a little' by then; earnest
endeavors: This is evidenced by a
number of subscriptions coming in..

been received to date :

Where will: Huron County stand on the Honor Roll
of those who have responded to The Empire's call for Men ?
Rev. S. J. All}n.
In the present crisis we must
not permit ourselves to be deceiv-
ed by supposing that our duty as
Canadians is done when the have
sent aid for the famine stricken
and the suffering. ; Much as : the
Empire needs money and food at
'this time it needs. mien more than
,nil
else. The question that is
forced upon u now is, "Aro
p s ofwe
ready or willing to see the Em-
pire defeated by Germany and we.
ourselves brought under German
" rule ? Every day makes it more
clear that to defend the honor of.
Great Britain and our own place
and liberty within the Einpire
Canada must at once rally to the
call for volunteers, and. theist do
ti
hundred i times nes n re ' '
more than it has
done as yet. It would not be too
much to expect that at least fie
ty young neon from Clinton and.
its neighborhood would respond
to the cell of Ring and Coun-
try.

Rev. Father Hogan.
The first duty of a good citiion
is to serve (iOU according to his
conscience, and the second' duty is
included in the first, and is like
it a religious duty, namely, to
obey the legally constituted
authorities and to serve one's
country, if necessary, eves unto
death. Love or God -and Love of
country are linked together in the
heart of every true Canadian cit-
izen, Patriotism, the noblest of
the natural virtues, burns bright-
ly
t-
ly
in the heart or the true Can-
adian. And why should it not ?
Here we shall live and here we
shall die, and here the children
and their children's children shall
live'to
the e ]abrstg rueratfou.
Yes Britain, the Mother of free
Nations, `our country,' we lose
tbee, and we are ready, if fleccts-
sary, to pour out the last drop
of our blood in thy defence. Our
patriotism is sanctified by our.
religion, which teaches us to love,
our coetry and to o'iey its
rulers. Let us then as a part of
the British Empire be proud of
our citizenship and loyal to her
requests.
Rev. Di•. Rutledge.
Theoretically I am a man of
peace, but it is tittle use talking
of the wickedness of war at a
time like this. The terrible con-
flict in which our Empire is at
present engaged is, EIS everybody
knows, not a war of our seek-
ing. 11, has been forced upon us
and we are in no doubt as to the
righteousness of our: cause. So
far as Britain is concerned, as
Mr, Asquith has declares, ambi-
tion and aggression has played
no part in dile war ; she has
drawn her sword in the cause of
the weak against the strong, or
the. democracy or Europe against
the law of the sword. And now,
the Bail comes to us itt Canada
to play our part in the great
struggle that has been forced up-
on us.
Th some quartets the complaint
has been hearts Haat the young
manhood or the country is not
responding with any„ onthidriasnt
to the Cala of the Empire rot
help. This cannot surely he from
any lack of patriotism, much less
from any lack or the courageous .
spirit 01 the soldier, In the
Northwest Rebellion of 1885
when the call came for volunteers
more than a hundred young men
of.my- own congregation in Winni-
peg joined the ranks, although .
they knew that thea bravery
Haight cost them their lives. I
believe the same spirit is itt our
young manhood' still. It is ap__
parent, however, that the serious
nes, of the situation has not yet
•been grasped by our young men
In this war it is the veil+ life of
our Ernpiire that .is at stake. Ger-
many successful avotrld destroy.
Britain as a great power, perhaps
reduce her to a mere dependency,
and it would shadow' for a hund-
diesel years the history of aur own
'Canadian land.

Rev. A. Macfarlane, 'Bay eel .'
There is.. no question of the loy-
alty' of Canadians. This has
been proved .again and again. But
do we Canadians' "dwelling far
from war's alarms t:ealize to the
fall the gravity of the issues in-
volved in this present terrible
conflict '1 Do ,ere realize that the

a e that the independence
of Canada itself is threatened,
that on the result of this wax de-
pends whether we shell continue
to enjoy these rights and liber-
ties which are ours under the
British flag, or shall.. become a •
servile state ground 'under the
iron heel of German militarists
and despotism ? I believe that if
only mom
1 entousuess or the.
situation stere, fully grasped,
there is enough patriotism in the
heart of every Canadian man and
• woman to hear and to answer the
call that is being sounded today
for service and for sacrifice.
Dr. J. W. Shaw.
You ask me . why Canadian
born boys do not enlist for the
overseas -contingents. It. isnot
the fault of the boys. It has been
instilled into them for two or.
three generations .by the ; preach- ,
ars, tatcbers, professors, .states-
men and editors that: anything
and everything pertaining to the
militia was a disgrace and a
humbug. 11 the , pies int geaera-
tfon sboefe lack of patriotism it
is owing
to the teaching
of. the
above - mentioned educators, in
future those Canadians who have
been belittling for the past tea
years the British: emigrant had
better "sit up and look" as those
patriotic young g Fellows go back
to fight our battles under the
name of Canadians.
Rea 11, J. eleVormick, 1lolnmesville.
The call is upon us. 'rhe cause
of freedom and justice is at stake.
This cause in defence of which so
many of our braze forefathers
freely shed their blood, challeng-
es the brain, the brawn of our -
young Canadians. Satrely we -
shall not look heedlessly on and -
see the "trailed fist" exercise
his iron rule, Might is not right
and justice is not the interest of
the stronger. These are positions
long since exploded, and must be
defeated at any cost. The soldier
is as truly a saviour of the world
as the missionary upon foreign
soil or the martyrs. This war af-
fords our Canadian boys a Chris-
tian enterprise almost unparallel-
ed in the history of the world.
Those who fight this war are the
heralds of a peace that' shalt "lie
like a shaft or light across the
land, and litre a lane of beams
athwart the sca." Let every man
who can manfully welcome this
opportunity to defen:i the Imppi-
ness of his hon'te, the, prosperity
of his compatriots and ;tile free-
dom of his country.

Principal Treleaven of,the Collegiate,
Reports of the roeruiting - for
The second contingent show that
Canadians' born born -axe responding in
larger numbers to the .call of the
authorities for more men for the
war That they did not respond
in larger'uuntilers to the fleet
call was drily to be expected. No
C!anadiaii youth ere today' knows
anything or war and the military •
spirit, that is ,so strong in the
citizens •of tltei.old world nations,
]s practically non-existent in
Canada. Feeling is ilio main-
spring of action and it required;
some. time to create in the i
breasts of our young men the •
motive (ogee that would lead.
them to enlist. This feeling,
.there are evidences to show, is.
now becoming effective, and it
will grow stronger with the en- -
..listutent or every new contingent,
so that each new call will fid an*
ever increasing percentage of Can-
adian born offering their services.
The heroic defoice of their rights
by • the people of Belgium, the
wanton attack of e, powerful .
state en a weak one; the necess-
ity of maintaining on battle
Beide of Europe the principles of
democracy against against the tyranny of
militarism, and above all the
growing consciousness of the un-
ity of Canada with the British
Empire, is making a more mets-
tent call to the young wren of
Canada from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, This cal] will., he answer-
ed and the effect will be cumula-
tive. Ag_,Canadlans enlist: in numb larg-
er number;; more will he led 'to
enlist and Canada, when the war
is over, will be Ogle to point with
pride to the large 'number of her
native sons who fought and per-
haps gave up their lives in the
service of the Empire in a ;cause
that they felt' 10 he just.

Seemingly the war's dark Shad-
ow was needed in its more soften-
ed light to see clearly the great
realities thiit have a golden heart
and detect the gaudy veneers of
our too often garnish day. True
patriotism has conte. to her own
in the love or Country that is
ready to serve or sacrifice. Ea
our day when prosperity and the
luxury of life tempt to hast de-
c,aciance one is glad to mark the
undimmed lustre that rests ott
British arms. The masterly re-
treat in stubborn lighting front
Mons enabling our Allies to re.
cover from a rash mistake, the
signal victory' on the 1 rurn1 that
beat back the foo to the margin
of France, the stubborn resistance
on the Ystr against overwhelming
numbers of invaders, have proved
to the satisfaction 01-CVeh neutral
spectators ithat British armies of
today are worthy of a great past.
Now, tis at Bannockburn end
Crecy, Blenheim and Waterloo,
the issue is the same in the as-
sertion of freedom and the main-
tenance of national honour ant
treaty rights untrampded. There
a Kingdom responded to the call'
to arin ; now an Empire volun-
teers. Our trust is neither in hir-
ed mercenaries nor in militarism.
always in arms, but in God,
