PTE. A. L. PoSsams. 181st nab.
DEAR FRIEND —It ie with feelings
of regret and yet of pride that we see
ynu in the Icing's service tonight.
We regret the need of it but we are
proud to know that you, and so many
others of the young men of our free
country, have heard the call of duty—
the call of Liberty and Justice—the
call of world Freedom and world
Peace. You have realized your obli-
gation to do your part in the spirit of
self-sacrifice and patriotic devotion,
have offered yourselves to go up
against the mastering battalions of
Despotism to fight the age -long battle
for Freedom which, once begun, must
he carried on from son to eon. Yon
have beard the Macedonian cry of
Belgium, Serbia and Armenia but the
free life of Canada itself is also involv-
ed in the struggle. Bleeding Belgium
is the voice which warns us what our
fate will be if we fail. The liberties of
our race are the stake for which we
fight, We know you will be as brave
and oow ageous as the other Canadians
who have gone before you and that
yon will do your daty well. Our best
wishes will follow you. You will be
often in our thoughts and aur prayer
will be for your welfare and safe re.
tat'n when the war is over, Yon,
fellow members in the Westminster
Guild wish to show theit appreciation
by presenting you with a r'ieg bearing
the number and mune of your .Bat -
Winn, hoping that in the days to
come it may recall the pleasant times
we have spent together. Signed on
behalf of the \Vestntinster Guild,
M. 0. SCOTT, President.
M. Duz'P, Secretary,
Me. Pnsliff appropriately replied re-
ferring to his unique association with
Westrutnstel' Guild and other organ-
izations in Bluevale which had been
continued so lung after he had ceased
to be a resident of the village and
asked for the kindly thoughts and re-
membrance of all for the soldier boys
when they should e t ey sd be far away on then'
mission of loyalty and patriotism.
Rev, Crawford .Late followed with a
warmand inspiring adclress, voicing
the regret mingled with pride which
is felt by all at such moments of part-
ing and the determination that the
boys who are going to represent us.at
the battle t'r'out shall not be forgotten
or enhonot'ed by diose who are left at
home. He was cheered by the obser-
vation thab-all around us our aCmnton
