HURON'S BATTALION THE 161st --o�--+ Surely the phrase should "stir with- in breast in 'the b ens of every, man a feeling of 'pride and of patriotism in the knowledge that in the dayt of an Em- pire's stress our 'County has hacl the glorious 'privilege of forming her own Battalion. Abattalion com,posed of the sorts and grandsons of those sturdy old !pioneers, who in the years gone by, settled within the borders of the County, and by the sweat of their brows carved out the broad acres and teed the fo;raiation for the unexampl- ed'prosperity of Huron To the sons of these wen—to the sons and grandsons who navel not teased to the eommanrd of King and country -1 make this appeal. The Boron Battalion has been or- dered to mobilize about May 15th, and the needed 250 mere to complete the enstablishment of the Battalion must be enlisted by the, time of mob- ilization. This is a direct command of your king and a, command which must be harkened to by everyman iu the County. If of military age and. ,phy- sical fitness your duty is plainly to enlist, If over 45 years of age your duty can be done by urging and in- sisting that the younger men, do their "bit.' If under 45 years of age and not physically fit you can, at least wear the button -ribbon, which wilt be supplied you by the MediealL Exam 'n- er of your .local detachment, after he has 'examined you and given you a certificate of military unfitness. This is the Iast call for men to come forward, of their own free, will, and to save the County from the stigma of reproach in that "she did not do her duty." Kitchener says, "the .last man and " 'w' the last *shell he : • t ih l 'will victory." lMaybap your individual enlistment will be the means est' the Allies inevitable triumph. Put aside till petty jealousies and considering only the Empire's need and a County's welfare come for- ward and take the 'place reserved far you arncn,s.t the men who in the days to come wx11 prove worthy of a County's !pride and of a County's horror, The twelfth hour is striking. The time for your decision has arrived. The answer roust be Aye or Nay, Wi,?l it be "Ready, Aye Ready 1" in the 161st? H. B. Combe, Lieute-Coo, W W. Taman Tailor & Furnisher PHONE 81a LETTER .FROM TOM PENHALE TO HIS PARENTS In a letter received this week jay Mr. and Mrs. Wm,. Penhale from their son Tomwho is with the Imperial forces in England he describes the voyage over and says in part,—"We had a splendid trip, sailing on April 1st from Halifax. There were 10,000 troops on the three boats, Wei were. convoyed by the creaser 'Carnover, we had fine weather and inlet no subs, On board .we had a sailor who fought in the naval battle ac,.Faikland Islands and at the.

We arrived at Liverpool onl April9th and immediately went on to London. There is darkness everywhere at night here.

But many searchlights are all over London at night ;searching the sky far Zepps.

A greatspecial effort is being made to lsecure the 250 ntleltt needed to com'ple'te the 161st battalion by May 15th. Oddfellows at Church.. Tbe Oddfellows to the number of about ninety attended divine service Caven Presbyterian church poi Sun day morning last, and heard an ex- cellent sermon by Rtrv,.-So.F, Sharp. The members were marshalled by Mal. W, J, Hear= to and, from the church During the service apleasing solowas sung by Ails Moncur and a quartette by .Messrs, Kinsman, Senior, Christie and G 11jes, On the return of the members ea the lodge room a vote of thanks was tendered to the pastor the elders of the church, and the choir Rev. Mr Sharp during the sermon root occasion to make an earnest re- cruiting etppeat to the brethren, and wbieb we believe should have good results. The Text was taken Irmo St. Luke 10 27, elee, answering said, thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with alt thy. soul, and with Wilber .strength, and with all. tny mind end thy neighbor as thyself." and the subject was, "1"Iow shall we inherit ,> the ternal Life?" and during the e'rruon MI Sharp said, in part,— rim teachers of those days eidnot favor Chriee The lawyer as W4 see. Nested hint by asking a question, and Chris= go. too lawyer to answer his o,vn hues'ion, in the words of the text Whereupon :ne lawyer asked, "Who is ray ,neighbor Christ answered by givxr ot the paraa,e of the. good Sam- aritan., Ch -,is; ttad been undergo:ng a great testing time and he is now stead tas:ly ,gong to Jerusalem to take up His cross. I'he go den rale is fulfilled in two ways, -.by: „ov,in3 God and loving, our neighbor as ourseeves. Our whole person.t;aty must love God—heart, soul strength and nano. ,,'=te who:e life must be de,Jitat-ed .0 at service of God, And the se::.snd pert is tolove' oar neighbor tts ourse.ves. We must dedi a e ourse,vas to the needs of our neighbor, i,lus:ra.ed .n toe Good, Sa mire au tparab..e. The Samaritan pas the on,y one woo iniaister. J .o the wounded man. This parab.e -eaches us that our neighbor is lb e person in need, no matter where be "fives, how clear or how far from us, nor what color, or language, or race he may he. If he is in creed he is my neighbor. Love not place makes for neighborhood. We are, to treat the one in need as we would ,wish to be treated. 'rWhatso- e ver ye would that men should do uto to you. do ye also unto them". Christ teaches us further. This is the only instance in which He criticizes the priest, who represents all ministry. Why did the Master use. this illustra- tion? Because the priest was afraid andshirked his duty, which is also at tinxes done in this, day. John Knox was a notable exception. In Scotland to -day 90 per cent. of the sons of the manse are serving at the. f rant, and the pulpits of many htstoriq churches are being occupied by laymen. Who is the wounded man to -days It ishe who is fighting the battle of the Al- lies, and laying down his, life if need be to overthrow the power of the autocracy which was born in hell, The Levite also passed, saw the suffering man, but went oa. Real es- tate gambling and other gambling, il- lustrates this lack of neighborliness. In the struggle in Europe 600,000 people of the British Isles: have been wounded and one quarter of these are dead. Yet theatres and pleasure places are full; there is no tear for the wounded; the drink bill is larger, showing that we have not recognized who is our neighbor. Here int Canada are we thinking of the wounded, are we making. sacrifices? I do not know how those things appeal to you, but they ,appeal to ane so that I do not wish to engage in the frivilo.us things of the day. United States is taking advantage of the blood of the old world to become rich. The man es wounded, but we ,pass, by. The Samaritan, a business man, and an 'enemy to the Injured man, comes along. tie is moved with compassion and assisted him with fireteted and. further takes hint to an inn and pro- tides ,tor him. The Master asks,— "Which was the Christian?" and the lawyer ,answered "the man that show- ed mercy." The Gond Samaritan is one of the foundation stones,. of your gaerat world wide Order. This is your watchword. In, this day when neem, of your order are dying ane you doing your part to assist in this great fight. This !morning where are the wounded men? I see them upon t he stormy seas, at Shorncli,ffe, in t he hospitals, where they are trying by Oddfellows'- signs to rnake.known their wants, and in thet trenches, 1 see them wounded and half dead and they caul for help, "Conteaover and help us." and I, ask you, are you re- sponding .to .the. call?' • Are you. carry - ?ling on your obligations as, a great Order on this war Where your neigh - bars are today? Are we 'willing to- day to pledge ourselves, that in the coming days we will be neighbor to the one .in need? Capt. T. L. Blatchford, sant of Rev. and Mrs. T. W.
