My Dear Sir Wilfred,

you have enjoyed the confidence and
respect and devotion (.1 a very large

dominions beyond the seas, your name'
has been houored by King and Com-
moner,
You have done much for Oanada, you
hive left upon the statutes legislation
that is wise and good, and your errors
and faults have been forgiven and con -
toned by friend and foe alike.
You have tasted the joys of office,
bot there is one sweet joy you never
have experienced in _the muse of your
long life --the sweets and joys of fath-
erhood, God has witheld this blessing
from you In this you have missed the
greatest pleasure of life, and my heart
sympathizes for you in your great loss.
Not to know the joy witnessing your
own flesh ond blood grow up to man's
estate, not to know the love and affect-
ion of one of your own ie a loss beyond
the exprssion of words.
I, a mother, know the joys of having
•ehildren-they are the breath of life
to me, the essenee of all that is good
and pnre in this earthly life. And two

by those who knew them as civilians,
and by those who fought side by side
with them as soldiers. And I their

CORP HOWARD HAYS
Word has been received in a letter
by Mr. and Mrs. James Rays from
their son Corp. Howard Hays, who
was severely wounded in the Canadian
drive on .Passchendaele. He was struck
by a shell which exploded near him
and a large gash made in his hipwhiob,
which, while not dangerous will take
long iu healing. He Ives fortunate in
meeting Miss Robb, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs John Robb, of Seaforth, 0(105-
ing in the hospital to which he was
sent. Needless to esy, it was a great
pleasure and surprise to both.
