It has aroused much interest ' and the local veterans, who are respon- sible for gathering the relics and arranging them, are to be congrat- ulated upon the job done. - THANKSGIVING SERVICE A. union Thanksgiving service was g g held in the Presbyterian church at half past. ten Monday forenoon, the Rev. C. E. Deegan being in charge and being assisted by the 1?'evs. A. E. Doan. A. A. Holmes, L. C. Har- rison and J. E. Hogg. The men,• mostly in civies, but a few wearing uniforms ; and all rib- bons and badges being displayed formed into rank behind' the Kiltie Band, in uniform, in front of the Hydro shop and marched to the church, filling the middle and near- ly all one side. The church was handsomely deeorated. with flowers and flags and the service was im- pressive and very simple and beau- tiful. Printed leaflets 'with the order of the service were distributed, so that all found it easy to follow. The rector, the Rev. L.'o. Harrison, read the prayers, the Rev. F. H. Paull of Bayfiield, both returned men, read the lesson,' while Major. Rev, Canon Cluff of Stratford,, chaplain of the Perth Regiment, preached the -ser- mon. - The Rev. Canon said that hero- worship was a human habit, - that all down the •ages acts of heroism had been lauded and those who per- formed them had often beets worship- ped by the common people. Natur- ally, acts of physical bravery were common in times of war and there f. bre the soldier had always come in for a` lion's share of glory. Such was right and just. But he ,pointed •rrout that all acts of bravery were not found upon the field of battle. The man who subdued himself,who kept his own nature in control, was a greater man than the one who showed great physical bravery. It was not the part of all to distin- guish themselves upon the field of battle, but all could prove their man- liness by control of self:' "He that subdueth his own spirit is greater than he that taketh 'a city." Familial llynms ; were sung and all joined heartily in the singing. Mr. A. W. Anderton presided at the organ during the service. During the service the memorial tablet in the church was decorated and the last poet sounded, foilewed' by, one .minute of silence, the eon gregation standing; and following this -Mis. C. E. Dorman sang very; sweetly„ The Unknown Soldier," This . was "follooved by the Reveille, Ms'. Morgan Agnew ;,acting as beg - 1.t the conclusion- of the. service 'Hie ' soldiers marched to the postof- fice, where the tablet was decorated, the last post sounded and two min- utes of silence observed. After the the me marehe bythe Re eille h n d v tablet with' uncovered heads,. It was a solemn and; impressive service throughout and was witnes- sed by A large number. It is the immermamalramearomeselsintention to, make it an annual af- fair to be held in the towns in turn. Presbyterian Church Morning subject: "Thy Will Be Done." Evening: "The Transform- ed Peter."

He did not take any :partic- ular text, but enumerated the many things the present generation have to be thankful for.

But they were thankful' for the promise of the future. 'We have entered into the splendid inheritance of our forebears and we should be grateful for the many blessings which we thus inherit. I•Ie cited the many inventions which have lighten- ed labour and have made life'tnore comfortable. The speaker thought we should cultivate the spiritual and prove ourselves worthy of the in- heritance of this great land, which has been given in trust to us.
