this neighborhood were treated to a
splendid lecture. Rev. (Capt.) Mc-

an active part. His humor was ir-
resistabie. One minute he had his
audience convulsed with laughter
the next minute they were in tears.
His vivid description of his work as
chaplain and the gruesome and har-
rowing details, give us some idea of
what those boys, who went over the
parapet for us, endured. It is al -

Frank Tamblyn of St. Marys, a chum
of Earl Gardiner who paid the sup-
reme sacrifice: "I know how hard
it as been on the mothers of us boys
who have been so far away, defend-
ing our shores of Canada. It has
been harder` on you than it has been
ou us. I was so sorry to lose my old
chum, Ear]. He was certainly e. boy
can never forget. He was one of
the best. He was a good boy in Eng-
land and in Flute. rtever knew
what drinking or smoking was and,
all his chums liked him. All felt
very bad when he was taken away
from us to go to the happy land above
where there is no trouble at all."
Another Ietter was received by
Mrs. Gardiner from Mr. 3. E. Alf-
fleek, Supt. of a Sunday school at
Clearwater, Man., who pays a tri-
bute to the memory of another son,
Ed. who also gave his life for his
country. The letter is as follows:

adam;Having heard you intended
having a memorial service in mem-
ory of your beloved son Ed., who
gave his Iife at the front, we as a

I am pleased to state that from
the time Ed. came amongst us he
became a friend to everyone he
came in contact with and became an
active member of our Adult Bible
Class and very seldom ever missed
being in his place on Sunday. He
took an active interest in clean
sports and was a member of the
Clearwater baseball team. We clas-
sed him as one of our boys and his
name is on our Honor Roll along
with the names of the boys who went
from here.
I can assure you that he will long
be remembered by the Clearwater
people as a young man of whom we

Supper was served by the ladies in
the orchard and the table was laden-
ed with the most tempting of delecac-
les.
Mr. W. Statham conducted a re-
freshment booth that was well pat-
ronized.
The whole affair was one that re-
flects great credit upon the commit-
tees
ommittees in charge.

hand.

Great War for Human Liberty.
Nobly and heroically you have faced
the sternest duty. You may carry
with you, while life lasts, marks of
conflict—marks of which any man
might be well proud. They are bad-

We want you to accept this small
gift—a signet ring. It is a little
thing to represent so much. It is

est esteem for your manly qualities
