Dear Mrs, Leppington:
Just a. few lines; to thank you, Mrs.
Butler, Mrs.'Muilholand, Mrs.' Crich,
for the lovely parcel I ' received on
Wednesday.
We sure appreciate getting par-
cels as it gives us a change of diet.
I wrote to Mrs. Crleh' last fall but
I never' heardwhether she got it or
not.
verything is going fairly good
v
er' sonar.
We keep roving around seeing• the
country. We got tin with the Eighth
Army for awhile but it was too
noisy and not too safe so we moved
back out of harms way.
All the houses up there were pretty
well blown down. But the natives
seemed to be fairly . happy.
The Germans either killed or ate
most of their. animals; so they were
going to put their crops in .by hand.
It is very mountainous around here
and there is snow on them. But the
crops are a lot more advanced here
then they were in the last part we
were in.
The wheat and rye are out in
head and looks like a pretty good
crop. We are camped in the middle of
a wheat field .and is it ever muddy
when it rains. .
What became of Roy, I never see
or hear tell •of hien anymore. The last
I heard of him he was supposed to
be in the hospital in Italy here.
My sister, Mrs. McKnight sends
me clippings nearly every week out of
the Clinton squeak, so I get most of
the local scandal.
Her letters and parcels all seem to
come through. Some have delayed
action but they get here in time. But
mother's seem to get lost or strayed
I do well to get one a month, al-
though she says she writes. once or
twice a week.
Our Corporal Cook's wife writes
three times a week and up till Mon-
day he had not got any mail since
the middle of Jan. But he got an
armful when it did come through.
All the Clinton locals in the Sqn.
are fairly good. There is only three
of us left in this sqn. Bud Glidden,
Med Steep; and I.
Well I will have to close hoping
this finds you all enjoyingthe best.
Thanking the Red Shield again for
their parcels.
The wrapper was off the parcel so
I don't know when it was sent.
Gherrio,
Carmen Glidden.

Rev. H. V. Workman, Seaforth, in-
stalled the newly -elected executive
in an . impressive 'manner.
One of the most enjoyable features
of the convention was the music
appreciation period, . Mrs. Morgan
Agnew was at the organ and for
her selection played "Sanctuary of
the Heart'', by Ketelby and also ac-
companied Private Edwin Herchert
of the U. S•, A. A. F. Baritone, who
sang "The Lost Chord" and "The
Lord's Prayer" Private Ray Still,
U. S. A, A. F. oboeist accompanied
by Private Warren Thompson U. S.
A., A. F., played two movements from
Hanoi's Concerto No. 10 for Oboe
and "Sometirnes"
The Theme Speaker was Rev. R.
Gordon Hazlewood, Walton and his
address was very helpful and in-
spirational and gave the Young
People a challenge to 'better Living.
During the year the Fellowship and
Culture Departments each held a
contest. By a strange coincidence St.
James Street, Exeter won both con-
tests, The awards were presented
by Margaret' Henry and Rev. H. J.
Snell.
This was considered one of the
best conventions ever held and prov-
ed that the Young People of a

part in the building of a new world.

Just a few lines to thank you for
the welcome letter I received recent-
ly. It took a bit longer as it had an
old address of mine, as also I receiv-
ed three parcels from Red Shield
Auxiliary Clinton which took from
last Julie and July till February and
Marek, but believe me they came in
a very convenient time, as the
weather was very wet and cold so it
was a real treat at the front, here in

letter that you didn't remember
me but no doubt if you saw me you

July 1940 so I certainly expect there
are a great many ehanges by now as
this whole world sure haschanged a
lot, ;I spent over two years, in Eng-
land and it -is a yery fine country, the
people were wonderful to us, it will
never be forgotten.
This Italy is in a 'terrible condition
you just can't imagine unless you
were here to see for yourself. They.
are a very religious, nation but I
have never seen such filth and disea-

safe eards no sanitation at all.
We are not in the towns' very

homes were people.: eat, sleep and
have chickens and pigs. living all in
the •same room. It also is a very rug-
ged and hilly country, lots of vine
yards and olive groves, about all the
people drink here is wine. I used to

A Little Taik on Prayer
Rev. R. 117. P. Bulteel.
Rector of St. Paul's Church
Our Lord, at the well of Sycher,
spoke to a woman of Samaria of a
threefold worship. There isfirst,
the ignorant worship of the Samarit-
ans. "Ye worship that which ye know
not." The second, the intelligent wor-
ship of the Jews: ;We worship that
which we know: for salvation is of
the Jews. ' "Acrd then the new, the
spiritual worship which He Himself
has- come to introduce; "The hour is
coining, and his now, when the true
worshippers shall worship the Father
in Spirit and truth." "In Spirit and
in. Truth" do not mean, as, is often
thought, earnestly, from the heart,
in •sincerity.
To -day we still have three classes
of worshippers. Some ask ibnorant-
iy, hardy* knowing what they ask.
Others having more correct 'know-
ledge, try to pray with all their heart
and mind, yet do not attain to the
full blessedness of worship in spirit
and truth. Very few attain to the
third class which alone is' spiritual
worship, and makes usthe kind of
worshippers whihh the Father seeks.
There must be harmony between
God and, His worshippers: such as
God as; .must His worship be. Be-
cause Gad_ Is Spirit, we must wor-
ship In Spirit. As God is, so is His
worshipper. '
The place; the 'time ' and occasion
of prayer is not very important. His
worship must be the work of our
life; our life must be worship in
spirit as God is Spirit.
Secondly, this worship in spirit
must' come from God Himself. It
was for this purpose He sent His
Son, to fit us for such spiritual wor-
ship, by giving us His Holy Spirit.
That is the reason why Jesus so
often uses' the name of Father, The
worship of the Father is only possib-
le to those to whom the Spirit of
the Son has been given.
"And in truth." This does not only
mean "in ,sincerity." Nor' does it only
signify, in accordance with the will
of God. Jesus • says, "I ani the truth
and the life." In the Old Testament
all was shadow sand promise: Jesus
brought and gives the reality, the
substance, of things hoped for. In
Him the blessings and powers of the
eternal life are our actualpossession
and experience. Jesus is full of grace
and truth; the Holy Spiritis the (Tie -
it of truth; :through Him the grace
that is in Jesus is -ours in deed and
truth, .a positive communication out
of the Divine Life, So, worship in
spirit is worsh-ipin truth: actual.
living fellowship with 'God, a real
correspondence and harmony between
the Father, who is a Spirit, and the
child praying in the spirit. •
