ON BOARD H. M. O. "DREADNOUGHT"
(From the Montreal Weekly Witness.)
When the sea grows gray and eilent, and the moon sinks out o' !eight
And the stars turn sick an' tremble after seven hours of fight,
God keep us dirty sailor men, from the Pole Star to the ()roes,
For we need Alrnighty keepitt', au' some high, Almighty Boss.
For when the whole deck's throbbin'
There ain't no time for prayer •
But it's '"Point your Long Tom dainty
Over bwenty miles of air 1"
When thein wounded German fellows came u-ehakin' up our side
I was funny round my stomach, an' my bloomiu' British pride
Tretnbled like a silly pennant, they were all so human like ;
They had eyes an' hands an' faces just like any other tike.,
.But when the horizon's s ittin'
And we're coughin' back at it,
Say' it's "Sweep the see o' Germans 1"
An' "I guess—that—hit 1"
I was welkin' past a cabin where we kept our prisoners tight,
The sentry -go say's, "Look here," an' I see a funny sight ;
There was two of them a-lookiu'.at. a picture in their hand.
Just as if there's German mothers in the Gerrnau Fatherland.
But when we're inthe fight line,
It's "Forget your thoughts and fire 1"
Whilethe look -out, says beside yon,
"Steady 1 Nose her up a little higher I"
When I stopped an' looked to seaward in a tiny breathin' spell
I see a Dreadnought stagger with her nose deep in the swell ;
She was struck below the belly, an' she sunk an' gurgled down '
Very casual like, an' careless ; made the sweat to see her drown.
But when we're stripped for action,
Say, it's "Glory 1 glory l" then,
An' it's "Sweep the sea o' Germans 1
• As we pick the range again.
We were lyin' close in the harbor, coalin' up at Halifax,
I was messin' with the range guns, streakin' polish down their bathe
There was sornethin' in the air—fell like a happy English rain ;
An' my mate, he says ,'Your're bawliu"' an' I says, "I guess that plain 1"
But when we're sweatin' dirty,
An' the sea's unholy red,
Say, it's, "Mates, we'll fight for England
Till the sun hiseelf is dead 1"
Sept 15th AraTtoR L. PHELPS,
The above poem, written for the Montreal "Weekly Witness," is one of
the many strong things appearing in that splendid journal, and' corning so
close, upon the wrecks of our own ships gripe us hat•d. The editorials
of the "Witness" on the War situation have the ring to them, and are the
product of a mind more than usually well informed, and foresighted. Those
not now getting the "Witness" may have it on trial to the, end of the year by
sending _fifteen cents in stamps to its old time publishers,, John Dougall &
Son, "Witness Block Montreal. It costs little to tryib and people is whoare
,not getting the t' i n " i P p
g g, W t ees do not what they are missing. Some do
not agree with it in everything. Neitherdo we. But it is one of thefew
great worthwhile papers all the same—and fifteen cents gets it to the end of
the year.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES 'A GREAT
Sucrase.—Last Sunclay Rev. D. Wren,
M. A., of Brussels, formerly pastor of
the Methodist church here, preached
to large congregations at 10.30 a, m.
and 7 p. m. "The wail of ..a great
prophet" was the morning subject and
in the evening he spoke on "Tire Div-
ine Challenge:' Both sermons .were
of a flue type and were listened to
%vith.close attention. The choir, led
by Wm. Hall, performed their part
splendidly and in addition solos were
well sung by Mies E. F. McCormick,
of Trowbridge, and Mrs. Ernest Ack-
ert, of Holyrood. Free-will offerings
taken on the plates totalled over $25,
and the day throughout was one
markedly deep interest. Evening
service congregation taxed the seating
capacity of the church. Monday even-
ing a Fowl Supper was served in the
Township,Hall, a bill of fare that was
par excellent being well served by the
ladies of the church. The plates
had heaping measure and after all had
been fed there remained more than 12
baskets of first-class edibles. Musical
and literary program was given in the
church, which was crowded to the
doors. The pastor, Bev. I. A. Me-
Kelvey, was chairman and piloted the
musical and literary feast to a safe
harbor. Although the voyage was
long the trip was very pleasant with
nothing of the boisterous. There was
humor, well rendered musical num-
bers, both vocal and instrumental,
timely hints and suggestions and the
talent acquitted themselves in a man-
ner that evou favor from the crowded
house, and the interest was well sus-
tained to the closing number. Those
assisting were :—R. A. Ashton, of
Gocrie, whose violin solos were very
pleasing and called for many encores
to which he cheerfully responded.
Mi' Hustle did bis part well as accom-
panist. The Trowbridge Quartette,
consisting of Miss McCormick, Mrs.
(Rev.) McKelvey and Messrs. Adams.
and Ringler, sang well and their selec-
tions were well chosen. The male
trios from the same place, the Bret
tenor being well taken by Rev. Mr.
Moorehouse, did fine. Miss McCor-
mick and Mrs. McKelvey sang a choice
duet and the former contributed a
well sung solo and an encore. A form-
er Ethelite, in the person of Mrs. Er-
nest Ackert, of Holyrood, gave a good
patriotic song, Mies Pearl Hiles; of
Kincardine, honor graduate of Alma
College, pleased the audience with her
four elocutionary numbers and gave
reason for many a hearty laugh. She
did her work well. Rev. D. Wren, of
Brussels, gave a spirited address and
W. H. Kerr, of THE POST, made a few
congratulatory remarks. Financial
proceeds were 3150 and with the Sun-
day offering totalled $175. A Social
was held Tuesday evening. The con-
gregation and pastor are to be con-
gratulated on the success of the an-
niversary from all standpoints. Pas-
tor stated the prospects were favor-
able for the contemplated erection of
a new enclosed horse shed and the re-
moving of the church to the recently
purchased lot where basement will be
putin, building veneered and general-
ly modernized. Congregation is in
good heart over the undertaking and
will carry it to a successful issue with-
out any doubt. Miss Cosene, of Trow-
bridge, proved her ability during the
evening as accompanist.

HURON COUNTYf B OPPORTUNITY
What Will You Do 4
The County of Huron will act in the
matter of donations of oats, potatoes,
and apples to the Army and the opin-
ion is that its contributions will be of
so generous a nature as to make it
proud of itself. . Every farmer can
help and let his givings be large or be
it small, whatever he thinks be can
afford, he will feel all the better for it,
In order to systematise the giving
and get best results at the smallest
possible cost, Warden Oantelon call-
ed the Warden's Committee together
on Tuesday of last week, when $5,000 ,
was appropriated for the purchase of
barrels and bags and for such other
expenses as will be necessary.
The gathering of supplies in each
township will be done under the sup-
ervision of the local 'Council and
where ibrie convenient for farmers to
deliver their contributions at a cen-
tral point teams will be sent.
The whole scheme will be under the
direction of Warden Oantelon who
will employ an expert and three men
to_ pack the apples at stations.
The only hippies that can be handled
are the hardy varieties that will per-
mit of long shipment, such as :—
Baldwins, Ben Davis, Mann, Canada
Red and Golden Russet.
