The Signal invited the sainisters of all the churches of Goderich to write a shaft address yfor puhlicatiou iu The Signal thio week, iu view of the fact That the usual church services are not being held owing to the epidermic. Following are the revolves : THE LORD'S AROUND. The other day I read of a tiny girl who was playing church. and had her *Miss, and the chairs. and' her dog and kitty for the congregation. and in her sermon she said: "You must be good—the Lard's around." It is with wee such feeling • many of us move about through thte be- edderrng and testing days. In the awful tragedy of war that has been devastating Europe and much of the world. in this • mysterious disease that is carrying off its scores and hundreds. and in many of the ' visitations of life. surely se may say: • The Lord's around. My special wish fur myself and my friends is that we may all be sensitive Lo this presence of God, it is said that Helen Keller is so sensitive to touch that she can tell in an instant. by the fed of a stranger's hand. whether the ow er is coarse or fine. brute or angel.

We are within sight of Victory, and now, less than ever, can we afford to rest in a false atmosphere of security. Now is the moment for a grand rally, an irresistible push forward with men and money. The men are there—and always fresh ones go. They must continually be fed. clothed, and supplied with ammunition. The work of supporting them, the EASY PART, is ours. Shall any of us fail them at this end? NO, A HUNDRED TIMES, NO ! And what are we asked to do? What is it that Canada asks of us ? Simply to LEND to our own country, more money, 'that the great fight may be finished for us, and that the sacrifices -made for us in four years of war shall not be in vain. No thinking man or woman who realizes this can fail to respond to the limit of his or her ability. And Canada makes it very easy for us to do this through THE VICTORY LOAN 1918 She will pay us intesest at 5'4 per cent. on any amount we lend.
