Tho military ball given the officers
and men of the 161st Battalion on
Tuesday evening was, the guests re-
port, the most enjoyable dance Clin-
ton has had for a long time.
Mr.' Angus McLeod, went to Lon-

for throat trouble..
An 'old Clinton boy, in the person
df W. Proudfoot of Toronto, was.
TO OUR :BRUCEFIELD
STALWARTS .
A gay young party `
Tb the city drid, go,
On one stormy. nite,
To see a great show.
To describe these young people
„It should surely suffice,
To say that the party
Was not lacking: in spice.
After leaving the bright lights
And when homward bound,
Between Centralia and Exeter
In a snowbank were found.
They received some help,
In just the right time
And finally reached
The Babylon Line.
Down there was a snowbank
As big- as, a house,
And the Dodge nestled in
Like. a wee little mouse,
By hooting and yelling
And calling his number,
A nearby young farmer
They roused from his slumber.
In pathetic taxies
They told of their trouble,
And he was so kind
As to lend them a shovel.
After much shovelling.
They didn't succeed,
Se back to get the farmer,
And team, it was agreed.
No matter how genial
These farmers may seem,
They are always cantankerous
When roused from a dream.
Now when they implored him,
His team to bring out,
He answered "No,"
With a very loud shout.
When he wouldn't come out
With his team to their trouble,
He surely did leave them
Holding the shovel.
So on to the next farmer
They further did plod,
To there seek the aid
Of his Farman spade shod.
This farmer said
His tractor lacked water,
E'en though he'd been helping
His neighbours daughter.
So the fair young ladies
Did fret and sob,
While their dear companions
Made the best of a bad job.
One couple went north,
While the other southward did
stray,
N'er to see each other
Until noon the next day.
The couple that went north
To _the Bayfield Road,
At last found -a kind farmer
Who eased their load.
In his car he took them,
And ne'r turned back,
Until they were safe
O'er the railroad track.
They went to the finest
House in the town,
There to lay
Their tired bodies down,
While the young lady
Bunked down below,
Her thoughts were of men,
Cars and snow.
And while in her deep,
Peaceful slumber,
She dreamt of such things
As coal, shingles and lumber.
And as the young man
Went aloft to sleep,
He thought of his partner
Out in the deep,
calling on old friends in town on
Monday, Mr. Proudfoot is a son, of
a former respected citizen of this.
town, Mr. Hume Proudfoot, and left
Clinton about 25 years ago.
Death came somewhat suddenly
last Tuesday at Nankin, China, to Dr.
James Butchart, who was for about
two years up to the time of his de-
cease a member of the faculty of
Nankin Christian University, For
over twenty five years his life has
been devoted to medical work in
China. Dr. Butchart was a Canadian
born in Stanley township, near Clin-
ton, receiving his education in Tor-
onto and for a while a teacher, After
a brilliant medical course in New
York City, in which he was a gold
medalist. Dr. Butchart was shortly
associated in Nankin, China, with
Dr. W. E. Macklin, another Canad-
ian, under the auspices of the Foreign
Christian Missionary Society of the
Disciples of Christ. It is said 'that
his skill and success in the great
hospital he established at Lu Chow
Fu brought fame to himself and
lustre to the panne Canadian. He is
survived by a -wife and four children.
Mr. S. Butchart of Stanley is a
brother.

This was the prayer
That young man said:
"God help my partner,
He may he dead."
But for his good pal
Ile had no need to worry,
For he was hoofing it hone,
In a sort of a hurry.
It seems that he left
His fair lady near home,
And his only choice
Was six miles to roam.
No longer for
His presence she asked,
So he turned out again
In the snow to bask.
.As he marched home
Like a knight of old,
His thoughts were of women
And sometimes of cold.
But before the cock
Crowed thrice in the morn,
The first young couple,
Again went out in the storm,
And as the merchants in the town
Their stores did unlock,
The spicy young couple
Turned the block
While the farmers on the conces-
sions,
Their breakfasts did eat,
The young lady trudged home
On tired feet.
Her companion set out
His pal for to search,
Looking all through Stanley,
E'en to Goshen church,
And after his search
Proved all in vain.
He retrieved the ear
And made back for the train.
There in his office
He made for the phone,
To find if his comapnion
Had yet got home.
The answer was,
The affirmative "Yea,"
He arrived at Six
A,M, to -day.
"Tell him I'll bring
The Dodge out at noon,
And once more our courtship
We will resume."
Since cats cannot talk,
It surely is well,
For what a tale
These Dodges might tell.
Such an experience as this
The writer has known,
So with al due sympathy
I pen this poem.
To these young rnen
We must tribute pay,
For men like these
Are not ,born every day.
But let us not grieve
Or express deep sorrow,
For these young men
Are the men of to -morrow,
(Signed) AN ADMIRER.

Lesson: Luke 18:1-14. G.T. v 13
by REV. GORDON PEDDIE, B.A.
1. What two points of true prayer
are taught in this week's lesson?
Answer: First, patient and contin-
uous prayer, waiting for the time of
God's sure answer (vv 1-8); second,
prayer made in humility and .in re-
cognition of our true condition as
,sinners ALWAYS before God -(vv
(9-14).
2. What does Christ mean by com-
paring God with the unjust judge?
Answer: This Christ does In order
to enforce His teaching by means of
contrast: if an unjust judge hears a
woman because she persists in her
request, HOW MUCH MORE may
believing people fvho faint in their
prayers be confident that Cod hears
and answers "speedily", that is, in
HIS time, — though to us it might
seem that Ire delayed. (v 7, 8).
3. What are we taught by the words
in verse eight, "Nevertheless when
the Son of man cometh, will he find
faith on the earth"?
Answer: By this verse we are
taught to ask our own selves before
God whether or not we really do
pray for, and trust in, the victory of
God's righteousness as our hope, and
look for the vindication of Ilis power
as our expectant joy.
4. 'What are the reasons why the
Pharisee's prayer is not 'acceptable to
God?
Answer: The reasons are two, and
these always go hand in hand. First,
the Pharisee has eonfidence in the
goodness of his own religious works
before God, and is therefore ignorant
of the first lesson in humility, that
NONE of man's works are good
(Matt. 19:17; Rom. 3:922); second,
the Pharisee proudly thinks Himself
better than his fellows, v 11, 12.
Observance of international law in
regard to Prisoners of War is insured
by bi-monthly inspections made of all
Internment Camps in Canada and in
Germany by the protecting powers.
Canadian interests are represented in
Germany by the United States Em-
bassy in Berlin and by the Interna-
tional Red Cross. German interests
in Canada are represented by the
Consul General of Switzerland and
his representatives,
"it must be remembered," Lieut.
Colonel Stethem adds, "that British
Officers cit Germany are also receiv-'
ing• their pay from the German auth-1
orities, and the same is recoverable
from the British Government. Furth-
ermore, it must be remembered that,
for every German Officer in Canada,
there are, probably, four British Of-
ficers held in Germany, and the var-
ious people who suggest ill-treatment
of these Officers do not realize that
such ill-treatment would provide an
excuse for ill-treating many times
the number of British officers and
other ranks in Germany.
"The International Convention Rela-
tive to the Treatment of Prisoners of
War is one of the few international
laws relating to warfare which is, at
Ileast to some extent, being adhered
to in the present conflict, possibly,
because its Articles provide for the
employment of a protecting power to
ensure its enforcement, ancl, possibly,
because the matters with which it
deals provide a practical means of re-
taliation in the event of non-obser-
Va1rCC."
