The following is a synopsis of the
address, given by Mr, Kendrick.
"On this occasion when we have
gathered to pay our respects to our
Brother Cann, I feel the loss possibly
more than any of you, outside of his
family and friends. Ason the last'
occasion when I saw Stewart, it was
in the city of Guelph where we shared
an hour together, I do not need to
enlarge, on the life of this best who
lived in .your neighbourhood. This
boy has been a life and a testimony
in the, lives of faithful warriors and
knew Christ when he took, a stand on
the street corner in your town with
his fathee and brothers. I amglad

to tell you of this occasion of meeting
with Stewart before his going ,over-

bereaved family and of their loss of
a loved one who has left this life,

of Jesus Christ should be preached for.

thought. Let us read this ;fifth
Chapter of Second Corinthians.
We endeavour to -day to bring to
your thoughts, as also did our brother
here this morning, a message from
the seventh verse. "Therefore,
if any anon be h Christ he is a new
creature, old things are passed away,
behold .all things are become new."
This also: takes is to our Sunday

who left His best with us when He
went to Heaven's Glory. In the
Word of God we read that He came

Day after day death is being brought
closer to our lives. Othersare, being
wounded in this chaotic world of to.
day. God has given us an assurance
that if we believe in Christ Jesus we
are a new creature, and behold all
things have become' new.
Even they that •are asleep in the
grove shall be called up together
with us and shall meet the Lord in
the air, They shall he forever with
the Lord. We need His new birth to-
day in our own individual lives, and
we need a new birth also for this
world.
As it is written, Jesus has become
The Way, the Truth and The Life. We
not only want Christ to be in our
work but also to have Christ in us.
The hope of ' glory for us means the
new birth. Can a man when he is
old be born again? Yes, Except a
man be born again, he shall in no
wise enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
How necessary it seems at this time
in which we are living, that we should
be ready to meet death. If a man be
in Christ he will become a new crea-
ture, the old desires will have passed
away.
Stewart brought out that wonderful
testimony which I will remember and
which will go down in history, Greater
love hath no man than he who wilt
lay down his life for his fellow men.
When we see -Jesus we shall be like
Hiro. I can see Jesus on the one hand
and I can see Stewart on the other,
on ah equal par. Jesus loved you
that .he died for you. If you will
accept Himas your personal Saviour,
the world says that as I live, saith
the Lord, every tougue shall confess
that Jesus is the Saviour to the Glory
of God the Father.
This great war is going to touch
every home and every living soul to-
day. Now is the day of salvation. Now
is the time to get right with God.
Stewart went out with that insurance
in his own heart. Accept Flim this
afternoon as your personal 'Saviour.
the same as this boy who has played
his part. There are many fathers',
sons and husbands. to -day facing the
very same issue. For those who are
willing give their lives, the best pro-
tection eve can give hint is to accept
Jesus as our own personal. Saviour,as The Way, The Truth, and The Life.
This is the protecting powers of those
who face the dangers of life, as 'did
our Comrade who gave up his life
in Italy a short time ago. A day is
conning when I am going to meet
Stewart in the air. Are you ready I
beg of you this afternoon in the name
of Jesus to make right your lives.
