Leaving out two events, the Day of Creation and the First Ohrist- mas Day, November lith 1918 moans the greatest event in history, Had the autoorat won it would mean a return to brute force—might is right—every man for himself—never mind the weak, But on that Day this devilish doctrine was defeated. The Allies were fight- ing against it and won. The Kaiser was defeated—Truth and Justice conquered From early morning, Monday was giv- en trip to rejoicing in Seaforth. The war wits Forced upon us and we were glad wheu it was over. The bells rang and the whistles went loose, All fore noon Main Street was crowded. The Mayor proclaimed a holiday and the boys and gide who looked forward to saliool re -opening were free again. Buuting and flags hung everywhere, Autos with horns tooting travelled up and down the streets. But everything was orderly. In the afternoon at 2 o'clook a pro- cession lined up at the station headed by the band and cadets and a tractor drawing several wagons with the effigy of the Kaiser hanging on one. Follow ing these came a long line of oars and after parading the streets proceeded to Victoria Park where a grand program of prayer and praisewasconducted by Mayor Stewart. The prograthme consisted of Prayer b•y Rev Mr. McLean, Hymn, "Oh God our Help in Ages past'' ; Selection by the hand, Rev, Father Goetz then spoke on the years of agony we had borne. He thanked God that militiarism is dead— that the Kaiser is gone; but there is still much work to be dope and all should work that a just,peace may be seethed. M1 should still keep up their interest in the work until the boys oome home. The address was listened to with much interest. After another tseleetion from the band the enormous crowd joined in sing ing "Onward Christian Soldiers, Rev, H. B. Moyer urged his bearers to preserve the newspapers of today. He told how German military rule was broken, bot there must be some heart still in Germany, Evan if it had been so nearly ornehed out that they rejoiced r as a nation at the sinking of the Lusi- tante, because to day they are in revolt against this evil system It was the beginning of a new earth. After another selection by the band and tea Hymn `•Abide with me", Rev, T, A, Browu spoke of the grand work done by the men and women at home to uphold the hands of the boys at the front. The service closed with the Doxology and God save the king, and it was at the head of his platoon that he metthia death, Not only did be have the confidence or his ,nen and Itis officers but he was awarded for bravery on the field, the Military Med. al, a deooration he certainly earned, It was my pleasure to Know Sergeant Veneer both in civil life and after he _joined the Battalion and I know of no more capable or energetic soldier, one who was honoured and respected and it is to such as Ile that the Oanadiene owe their great name as the finest fighting force in the world. To hie many friends I offer my sincerest sym- pathy in the less of such a friend, but what greater henonr could any soldier ask than to meet his death at the head of his meu.l Asking you to be good enough to pub fish this in your paper. I have the honour to be Your obedient servant, H, J, Dorranoe Lieut. Horticultural Society The Future Many people at the present time al- most despair for the future, The look on; at the chaos and revolution in Rus sic and Germany and they say every- thing is 00 the down grade, One man says the outrages and cruelties have wrecked hie faith. Another says after the war, social and iudnstrial revel= utions will make a very unhappy world Still another declares the progress of of the world hue been set back one hundred years But its all in the way you look at it. And you will look at it a000rding to the knowledge yon have of the past and y our inner vision of the great realities, If the world to you, is only a ship drifting without chart or compose upon a shoreloss sea at the mercy of every wind, then such au experience as that of the present moans a battered hull and wrock which will take generations to place it even in running order, But if the world has never sailed throngh the centuries in a hit or miss manner, but has had always a master hand guiding withh compass es a1d chartrt in spite of all that loulc otherwise, then our ship no matter how great the storm has not left her course. Let us rest assured that the moral forces of the world have not lost their power or chart, It is a better world that is to be. Many a heavy wrong will be fouud to have been swept away in frightful fields of this earl war. Many an ancient evil entrenehed in The Annual meeting of the Seaforth Horticultural Society was held In the council room on Wednesdliy evening last, President Wm, Hartry presided, and gave a short synopsis of the work of the Society in past year, The hard working secretary, Mr. A.
