AN OPEN_LETTER
T'r0111 'a Well Known Methodist.
Clergyman of Interest to
All Who .Are Sick,.
One of the best known ministers in,
the Hamilton Conference is the Rev,
Chas. E. Stafford, of Elora, Ont., who
freely admits that he owes his present
good health to Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Mr. Stafford writes as follows:
"Some years ago I was severely af-
flicted for a period of nearly four
months. The leading physician in the
towns in which I was then 'stationed
diagnosed my case as one of complete
nervous .prostration, brought on by
over -work and and° which superinduced
intercostal neuralgia and muscular
rheumatism, from which I suffered.
the most excruciating pain nighteand
day for Weeks. So weak and helpless
did lbc
become that my attendants had
l m
to handle a like an infant, raising
me up and laying me down with the
greatest care, so intense were my suf-
ferings. Acting on the advice of my
doctor, and taking his medicine, I did.
not seem to improve. One afternoon,
while suffering great pain, the editor
of the paper published in the town,
and who was a member of the church
of which I was then pastor, urged me
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was
sceptical.as to themedicinal qualities
of all proprietary medicines, but on
the strong recommendation of , the
editor, who had great faith in the
medicine, I decided to try them. To
my . great surprise and supreme de-
light, I soon found that the Pills were
giving .me relief, and after: I had.
_taken seven boxes I was fully re-
stored to health. Dr.<Willianis' Pink
Pills, under God,having made me a
new man. Ever since I have been
better and • stronger physically than I
had been for a number of years.
Three years ago, after an active
ministryof forty-six :years, I. asked
the Hamilton Conference of the
Methodist Church to grant me super-
annuation relation, which it did, but
for more than two years I have
been supplying a charge which neces-
sitates a drive of twenty miles every
Sabbath. To -day I am strong and
hearty, without an ache or pain, and
for my present physical condition I
am indebted to Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and can most heartily . recom-
mend them to the afflicted."
Don't Do It.
Solomon Isaac was very ill, and the
doctor was paying him a visit. "Veli„
doctor," said Solomon, "if I've got
to die, I die gontended. My life is in-
sured for five thousand dollars.".
"Well," replied the doctor, "I think I
can keep you alive for a week longer."
"Don't do it, doctor," said Solomon;
"the premium comes due the day
after to -morrow."
Even undeserved praise sometimes
becomesan incentive to better effort.

A few weeks after the outbreak of
the war a middle-aged, weather-beat-

clear blue eyes, and clad in rather

Admiralty and asked to see the offi-

Casual callers do not readily gain
interviews with busy officials
at Gov-
ernment offices in war time, but there
was something about this particular
caller—something that suggested his
inflexible resolution to see the official
he had asked for and discuss "real
business" that gained him admission
with but little delay to the room of the
_official he wanted to see..
"What do you want?" asked the
official, an old naval officer.
"I am a yachtsman," was the reply.
"I've ' a steam yacht, 500-tonner, twen-
ty-five knots. I hold a master's cer-
tificate, and I have a crew that will
follow me anywhere. The lot is at
your disposal, including the man you
are talking to, if you want me."
Sentinels of, the Sea.
Half . an hour later, the yacht be-
longing to this weather-beaten, rough-
ly -clad volunteer was entered on the
register of boats on patrol service,
and its owner, a millionaire yachts-
man, left the Admiralty a captain
(unpaid) of a patrol boat in His Ma-
jesty's Navy.
Thisis but one instance out of
many that might be quoted of how the
Admiralty found ships and men for
their patrol service, which has per-
formed such splendid work round our
coasts—work full of risk and hazard
—since September last.
The patrol boats may be described
as Naval sentinels. They are con-
stantly watching the seas round our
coasts, and it is no exaggeration to
say that on their vigilance the safety
of our shores in a large measure de-
pends. The patrol boats are not
fighting ships; a shell from the small-
est warship afloat would seriously
damage, if it did not sink, the largest
of them. But many of them are tre-
mendously fast; they are handled by
men as daring as they are capable
navigators, and when the history of
the war, comes to be written it will be
found that among the officers and
men who served on the patrol boats
were many deserving of the highest
honors of war.
Many of the boats are captained by
their owners, who put their yachts,

themselves, anet their crews evs at the dis-
poeal of the Admiralty. Other boats
are captained
x by retired admirals,
captains too old
p
t o for service in the
Fleet, or by retired master mariners
or masters in the Merchant Service.
All are splendid seamen, as ready to
face danger and death in defence of
king and country as any officer or
man in the Grand Fleet.
Chased by Enemy Ships.
There are now hundreds of boats in
the patrol service, and ten months of
constant work at sea have produced a
fleet the efficiency and usefulness of
which will probably never be properly
known or understood except by those
who are in control of the naval de-
fence of our island.
There are patrol men who have been
chased by enemy ships, who have en-
countered imminent risk of destruc-
i tion from mines, who have defied at-
tack from submarines and aircraft.
Escaping from such dangers, these
sentinels of the seas are daily per-
forming work as useful and as impor-
tant and as essential to our safety as
is the work of the outposts at the
Front to the safety of the British
Army. in France.
Several of the fastest patrol boats
have been employed as despatch
boats,,to carry despatches to and from
our warships, and to different naval
bases. This is work after the very
heart of the men in the patrol service.
Speed is the essential qualification
of a boat employed on this service,
and a high courage, great daring, and
fine seamanship the qualifications of
its commander. There may be, say,
one hundred miles of ocean to tra-
verse between the point from which
the despatch boat starts and the ship
it is to deliver its despatches to.
Driving Ahead in Darkness.
The time it may be given to cover
that hundred miles—the distance may
be longer or shorter, of course—may
be but four hours. From the start it
is a case of driving ahead at full
speed, possibly in pitch darkness, and
with all lights out.
The discipline on board the patrol
boats is as strict as it is on a battle-
ship, though its officers and crew may
possibly consist of a dozen friends or
so who are working it themselves.
A story was told to the writer re-
cently of a patrol boat which before
the war was a private yacht. When
it was registered as a patrol boat its
owner became its commander, and
among the crew were four of his
most intimate friends. One of them
was a young fellow who had often
sailed with him on pleasure trips, and
who was specially keen about serving
as one of the crew when the boat went.
into the patrol service.
"Mind," said the owner to him', "we
are not going on a pleasure trip. We
shall be on war service, and there will
be as strict a discipline on the boat as
if she were a warship. I shall be glad
to take you on, but you will have to
obey orders." And the young fellow
promised to do so. The first night at
sea the order was given that there
must be no lights—an order that was
forgotten by the young fellow in.ques-.
tion. When he went to turn in at one
o'clock for his four hours' sleep, he
switched on the electric light . in his
cabin whilst he undressed.
Dismissed!
Two minutes later he was summon-
ed to the presence of his friend, the
commander of the boat. The young
fellow stood between t'o of the crew
at a table at which the commander
was seated in his cabin.
"You have disobeyed orders," said
the commander, "and I have sent for
you to tell you that I shall 'land you
to -morrow at —, where we are
bound for, and that I shall not have
you on board this boat again.
The "commander" kept his word,
and discharged his friend the next
day. But the latter bore him no ill -
will; he recognized the fact that he
had committed a grave violation of
discipline that on a battleship would
have entailed severer punishment. The
young fellow is now serving his coun-
try, not at sea, but as a sergeant in a
regiment in which he enlisted directly
after his dismissal from the patrol
service.
