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.

The Em- pire could part with such subjects without being any the poorer. Seaforth fine Band were very gener- ous with their program during the afternoon and evening. They play well and will be welcomed back to town. Councillor Hewitt "fathered" the Oalithonpian procession 10 a finish and succeeded in the difflenit task of having people stay . with the job, to the end. Drs. McRae and Beyans went for the Gorrie base ballists with their automobiles and Dr. Hamilton took one load home. Sometimes the ambulance is used to convey the con- testants home after the boll is over. No serious accidents mental the day here however. Abetter lot of workers, with Al staying powers, would be hard to find than the women folk who were "on their job" early and late last Saturday. They worked like heroines and the Red Oross Society thank them very heartily.
