It would be a tragic thing if Canadian women lost their ideals of service after the war, the ideal's you now exemplify are what we hope :for the future". So spoke Mrs, Arthur Ellis to a group of Red Cross and war workers recently in Ottawa." I. appeal to everyone of you to do your part. Go back to your group and get one per- son to duplicate what you do. There are still so many not doing their share of Red Cross work and still the need •grows." .

Bulteel Induct- ed by Archdeacon Doherty On Friday night, May 5th, Vener- able Archdeacon W. J. Doherty of London, holding a mandate from Archbishop Seager, of London, in- ducted ,Rev. R. M. P. Bulteel as rec- tor of St. Paul's Anglican Church Clinton. Assisting in the service were Rural Dean Rev. E. 0. Gallagher of Wingbam, Canon W. A. Townshend of London; Dr. R. 1'. D. Hurford of Sea - forth; Rev. P. 11. Streeter of Blyth Rev. John Graham of Bayfield, Fit/ Lt. A. C. French, Padre of No. 5 Wireless .School, CIinton,Rev. G. K. Nobis of Gorrie, The keys of the cburch were pre- sented by the wardens with Mr. John Zapfe representing Dr. D. H. McInnes, and Mr. John, Hartley. The sermon was preached by Rev. John Thompson of 'Pain'ity Anglican Church St. Thomas. He is the second son. of Mr. and Mrs,. Harry Thomp- son of Goderich Township. In' his prefatory remarks Rev. Thompson stated that he brought greetings from his own parish to Rev. Mr. Butted and the pariah of St. Paul's. He also said that it was a privilege and honor to preach the induction sermon of a fellow clergy- man, in the speaker's native parish. Three texts were chosen from Acts, St. Johan anti St. Matthew, texts which were appropriate for an induction service. The first text, 28th verse of the twentieth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over that which the Holy Ghost hath made Yen overseers, to feed the church of God,_ which he hath purchased, with his own blood." This indicates how highly we ought to eare for and love the church, which was founded by Jesus Christ, Himself, and for which • MILITARY NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Chas D. Shanahan •re retied word from their son Leading Coder J. C. Shanahan upon his safe arrival at his destination. Pte. John Levis of Canadian Army Trade School, Hamilton, spent the week end with Ms parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Lavis. Mr. and Mrs. E. R. ' Weston of Goderich haye received word that their eldest son, C. A. Weston of Chicago has arrived safely, Clayt is with. the American Army, Combat engineers, As W. 0. Dick Weston is also in England it is hoped the bro- thers will meet some time. The re- maining son A. C. 1 W. E. (White) Weston is with the R. C. A. F. Mont Joli, Quebec. Goderich people listened with in- terest to the life story of Ldg. Sinn. Wilfred Greenwood as related on the Victory. Loan program coming over N.B.C. last Wednesday evening. Wil- fred was introduced over the air by Katharine Hepburn, famous film: star' Three weeks ago The Signal Star had the story of the young man, son of Mr. H. Greenwood, Goderioh, who has survived three torpedoings in nearly four years of service with the navy, He gave His life. It has been the fashion of some people to make much of the facilities of the church, There is, of course, need for the sins of omission and commission, but it is also necessary to note the great successes achieved by the 'Church in its history. A never ending stream of Holy Men and Wo- men, who went out to face the world and bring it to Jesus Christ. To them no difficulty was too hard. This stream has flowed out to all countries in the world. In pioneer days, the stream ran westward. Their faith, de- votion, loyalty and courage plant- ed the church among the pioneers and aided them in their struggle to found homes in a land far front their native lands. The second text was the 16th verse of the third chapter of the Gospel according to St. John, "For God so loved the world that He gave .His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. This is a call to everyone to love the world, So often people are shocked and appalled at the extent of human suffering in a world of so-called civil- ization, that they lose their respect for their fellow mankind. In spite of this people are urged to continue to love the world and do all in their power to spread i abroad the love of Christ. God so loved the world, He made His best investment, His only Son, and because of this everyone i.' commissioned afresh to carry out this call to ga out into the pain stricken world and lead it to Christ. The story of the famine in the days of Elisha and the struggle against the Syrians, when four lepers outside the city gates, decided to raid the Syrian camp as they had plenty of food. They found the camp deserted and they were free to help themselves. Instead of keeping the news of the wonderful discovery to themselves they decided it was much more to their credit to return and tell their people. The people to -day are like the four who found plenty. There area great many with whom we should share our joy in having found Christ. Christians say they have a Saviour, who can sala the world. He is meeting to th fullest our deepest needs. Christians say they have a Christ, who is able to bring all men unto Him, an for whom He has the gift of Eternal Bread tor all who hunger. As the Iep- era of old, "We do not well," to keep, this good thing to ourselves. The Lord has promised that we need never stand alone, as He will ever be with us. Advance- is certain.. Love and faith are our portion, and the Victory will be God's. At the conclusion of the service a reception was held in the Parish Hall where refreshments were 'served. A few words of greeting were brought by Archdeacon W. J. Doherty of Lon- don, Canon W. A. Townsend, Rev, E. 0. Gallagher and Rev. R. M. P. But- teel on'invitation of chairman Mr. J. Hartley. The Clinton Ministerial Association wasrepresented by. Rev. Andrew Lune and Rev. G. G. Burton. The meeting was brought to a' close when the Archdeacon pronounced the Put It Over the Top Clinton is within 10 percent of their quota, but will we go over the top in the present Victory Loan Campaign? That question' should not be difficult to answer. as Clinton citizens have altgays. gone out to meet their obli- gations in full so • far. Our boys overseas will soon be taking part in the greatest military battle that history has ever known. When the time comes they will go over the top, risking their lives. And, as Citizens of the town, we will not let them down, we dare not. Buy another Bond, today.
