The following is part of a letter
written by a Canadian girl, who. was
a prisoner in Germany.
. After months of negotiation, our
release from German • finally
Y was y
arranged and we left Berlin in the
middle of June, .feeling the past six-
teen months had been very much lake
a strangeand incredible dream. On
arrival home I was told my healthy
appearance did credit to the enemy,
but S hastened to make the correction
that it was due not,to anything Ger-
many could offer but to the very time-
ly and welcome assistance of the Red
Gross. I know all the members of the
party, including those still in Lieber: -
au, would join me in heartfelt thanks
to all the members of the Red Cross
and to the many others throughout
Canada who followed our adventures
with so much interest and concern.
A special message goes to the hard
working packers who are speeding
thousands of parcels on their way to
our prisoners of war each week.

Wesley -Willis Girls' Club
The Girls Club of Wesley Willis
held their Thankoffering meeting in
Nov-
emberchurch on Tuesday evening,
ember 17th. The president Mrs. Mil-
ler, presiding: Mrs. Miller, Miss L.
Walkinshaw and Miss L. Jervis took
charge of the devotional part. Mrs.
Miller chose as a devotional topic, "A
Great .Word Salvation," which con-
tained many beautiful thoughts, as
salvation begins the moment the Sav-
iour is called in. He alone is the un-
erring physician. After the Thankof-
fering Mrs. Innes gave the dedicatory
prayer.
Rev. Reba Hern of Varna addressed
the meeting. Miss Hern is a dynamic
speaker and, brought her audience
many vital messages, presenting her
ideas clearly and precisely. The theme
of her address was from Acts 13, 2,
"Paul's Call", The key note of which
is the "Holy Ghost Said". "Hew,we,
need that word of the Holy Ghost to-
day." God does not want us to plan
our work. Ile wants us to let Him by
His spirit do the planning. Thit can
only be done by praying and fasting:
She defined fasting as not so much our
doing without certain items of diet,
as being able to give• to the point of
sacrifice. God is calling us to be sep-
arated unto Italy Ghost., If this is so,
we cannot allow pettiness to interfere
with our work for Him. Miss' Hern
closed her discourse which was evan-
gelistic in type by an urgent plea to
her listeners' to be out and .out• Chris-
tians, not to cling to the world and
as a reward their individual com-
munity and church life would be many
timeshapp r ie . •
A. solo, "The End of the Road" was
sung by Mrs. W. A. Oakes with Mrs.
Agnew accompanying. The Mizpah
benediction closed the meeting after
which Mrs. Cook's group which was
in charge of the meeting served the
lunch.

The proprietors are unable to give
any 'copse for the origin of the fire as
when they locked up at 10.30 o'clock
the previous night everything was ap-
parently as usual. A. stove in the
tailoring department was the only
heating apparatus in, operation.
Among the goods destroyed were.
a number of completed suite and coats
a large stock of, leather and rubber
coats and a number of whsdbteakers.
It will be difficult to replenish the
stock under present war restrictions.
Both proprietors are veterans of the
First Great War and have been in
business here for the past twenty -
years.
