The speaker said the Catholic press had been suppressed except for \brief diocesan bulletins. The Vatican radio on April 4th accused Germany of imposing on reâ€" ligious institutions of occupied France conditions which made it difâ€" ficult for them to exist. From the laboratories cfâ€" vigor ous, forward moving Canadawcomes this new relief for nasal disorders.

Notice to Creditors “Be Ready With Reddy Power” Canadian Patent “Clicking” RICHMOND HILL The man who committed suicide had, as far as; I could learn, no trouble. In- fact, it was said that his death was an accident. He had to attend church», which, by the way, was in barracks for the Protestants. He belonged to this sect. He was shaving, and) stood in front of a glass when it happened. I saw him myself. He looked all right to me. He was very popular with the girls and at his funeral there was a large number of them followed, in orderly fashion, the funeral party all the way to the cemetery. We had several amusIn-g episode's happen whilst stationed in Preston The third month of our stay in Preston was saddened by the suicide ctf one» of our men. He was a Pion- eer. The Pioneers are a few men, in charge of a Sergeant Pioneer, who lay claim to possessing some. trade, or other qualification. They are banded together and are known as pioneers. In peace time they are responsible for the cleanliness of barracks or cairnrps. They are equippâ€" ed with axe andl sword. This sword has a sharp edge on one side and sawlike teeth on the other. They are the only men in a regiment al- lowed to grow whiskers. When the regiment is on the line of march the pioneers, in charge of the sergeant, lead the way. When the regiment is ready to step offâ€"“Pioneers to the Front” is the order. I must make it plain that these girls were not forward in any way. They were just comrades, that’s all. They were allowed 'in the barracks on Sundays and made themselves useful by darning our socks, mend- ing shirts, and sewing on buttons for the men, and both sides played the game. Our eccentric clad Colonel, when he heard of it, remarked “It will do more good than harm.” He spoke the truth, Clogs and shawls didn’t make any difference, th'ey azdldv’edu rather than detracted, to thelir natural cemeli- ness. The soldiers were not bashful in responding to the bright eyed glances :of the lasesies, and a lot of them invaded the barracks. The Lass from Lancashire is n0 mryth. I can safely say that the lass‘ies of Preston would( be hard to beat for beauty of face and form, the latter, of course» was merely conjecture (they were plenty of clothes} (but nowâ€"aâ€"days conjecture would) be in the past tense and it would be) easy to assert now that for face and form: the .Lancashire girls would be hard to beat. There was another barracks in the rear of the one ye_were in. A batt- ery of artillery oécupied them. at the capture of Lowisberg and Quebec. In the latter action it beâ€" came known as Wollfe’s own. 0n the other side of the barrack square is the. depot of that famous _0Ld| regimemt the 47th -â€" The Loyal North Lancas-hire Regiment. It is not out of piace here to rimark that this. is the only regular infantry regiment in- the army entitled to the word‘ “Loyal” as part of their proud title. In 1767 it helped; to add Cane a‘dra to the British Empire by being known and formidlalble football club ~Preston North Endâ€"the playing fields of which are not too far from town and being easily reached“ from barracks were well attended ‘by the fellows from Lhe regiment. During our stay in Preston the regiment «became very popular, and credit for a great deal of this popu- larity must be given to the band. Its co-ordinvation was splendid. Each melntlber of the band" was a musician. Concerts given by the band‘ were re- ceived with great enthusiasm, and their performances would always re- ceive the plaudits of the audiences and, laudatory reports in the press. The youngest member of the band was! a boy from one of the training ships. He was a' marvellous piccolo player and never failed' to get an encore. Preston is the home of the! well a soldier's town. What I mean by this is that We had we competition. The Navy was too far away. In the Services, honours are about evenly divided, (I am referring to popular- ity). It must be acknowledged that in such towns as Portsmouth, and other seaports when the naval ratâ€" ings get paid] off, the blue coats have a decided) edge on the red coat. This is a friendly rivalry and‘ seldom leads to quarrels. CHAPTER 20 In September 1886, there were rumours of a. change of station, and in the earlry part of the follgwing month we went to Preston.

It made 'the matter worse because he daré not put his thoughts into words. ed. What Wallace’s thoughts were when he heard? that ordler will never be known, and it would only be an old ‘soldier that would ever guess what they were. I have an idea, and after reading what fOIIOWS you The next time that he parade-d for g‘uam he was again put out in' front so that some young soldiers could see what a smart soldier looked like, but the Adjutant went one step fur- ther this time, and told Wallace to lay out his kit so that the others could see how carefully it was pack- When the Sergeant Major came in the Colonel gave him an order to put Wallace in the guard room. How far from the truth the story is I do not know, hurt the Sengearmt Major concerned was not considered the kind of man to tell an untruth, and he was responsible for the story. The Colonel was so surprised that it was a moment or two Ibefore he recovered sufficiently to yell Ser- geant Major. to the latter his nemesis had decid- ed to take a handJ towards deflating his bubble of nonchalance. It’s Ibelievablé, when we think of the eccentric old’ Colonel, and the un- concerned Wallace, but unbeknowing Wallace, who .sat in. the Colonel‘s chair gravely watching all -this sol- emnly replied, “Very well, I shall not want you any more today.” ' The Colonel asked Wallace for his cane, and told him to call out “Come in” when he knocked! at the door; The Colonel went out into the pass- age, closing the dom- after him. Then he knock-ed on the door. Wallace said' “Come in".

Wallace (Th-e last of the Wallace’s). THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Our regiment furnished the guard of honour .and- lined the streets. Preston had a gala day when the Prince and Princess 0' Wales paid a visit. The reason for the coming was to open some large building. ’Ilhe Colonel had! a kit inspection one day. The kits were laid out on the barrack square, and when. all was ready, he started at the leading company, going down the front rank from left to right. Up to the rear ran-k from right to left. As he would pass a few men in the front rank a whisper would! come from some man in the rear ranvk. “Bill, chuck us your ‘brass brush." “Jack, lend) me your button stick.” And so on. The Colonel was aware of this. He said, “I know they are doing me,” but he didn’t do anyâ€" ‘thing‘ abourt it. be understood: that the idiocy of Walâ€" lace was having a damaging effect upon the company’s reputation, so he was black-balle'd. No one would speak to him or drrink with him. This hurt him most. fession of their faith, and severai others by transfer from other churches, and there were both young people and adults in both cases. It ’is now a happy fact that practically all] our young people are members iof the church and fully aware of 'mhat their becoming members in- volves. Yes, the morning service was most worthwhile, and we real-1y did feel happy about it all; the music was certainly most beautiful, and in keeping with the occasion, the flow- ers were most tasteful and in the right quantity, thanks to the Young Ladies' Guild and“ our 8.8. Superâ€" intendent, Mr. Neil McDonald, and Mrs. W. Wesley. The congregation was large, weather considered, and the service itself was most inspir- ing, because of those coming into membership. All in all, and withOut saying more, it was a lovely Easter morning service. The Easter evening service was just as lovely, but of an entirely different nature. Our choir didi ex- ceedineg well, judging by the com- ments of those present, and if you were not present to be thrilled by the message they brought in sacred scng, you will have your opportun- ity by going to Newtonbrook Umited Church this comin-gK'Swnday evening, where the Cantata will be repeated. There will be no evening service in our own cthurch; you are invited to go to Newtonlbrook. O'ur choir and our organist, Mr. Floyd Davies, and his good Wife, who presided at the organ. on Sunday evening last, do indeed: deserve credit for the excell- ence of their work; the preparation for that Cantata was long and ardu- ous, but because of the full and wholehearted coâ€"operatiom of So many, it proved 'to 'be outstandingly successful and eminently worth-â€" while, and the congregation did en- joy it. Th-e Parsonage, Thornhill, Ont, Mon-day, April 14, 1941. Hello, friend‘s! Isn’t the weather grand? Well, there is no doubt that it is most certainly appreciated. Very soon now the trees will be breaking forth into leaf and the landscape will be covered with a car- pet of green. Already the lilacs are bursting into leaf, and‘ the crocuses here and there, are making many a lawn most beautiful. And- now for a- brief review of Sunday: We were disappointed to see the rain just at the hour of morning worship, but that did not deter one hundred and fortyâ€"ij from coming to the service, and a happy service it was! Over twemty came into membership on the prof Thornhill United Church News “The greatest man is he who chooses the right with invincible resolutiom, who resists the sores't temptations from within. and1 withâ€" out, who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully, who is cal'mes't in storms- and most fearless under memace and frowns, whose reliance on truth, vir- tue, and God‘ is' most un-faltering.

Between now and that time, however, we wish to say that we are going to have some mos't delightful services of a most worthwhile, colorful and helpful naâ€" ture, and we do wish you to con- tinue to read these few lines each wee-k until that time arrives. Our church should [beâ€"ah yes, but wait! Lastly, we must tell you of the wonderful time we had at the last Fellowship Period of the season, be- cause lt was, indeed, a happy occa- sion. Everyone was in happy humâ€" our, everyone slang happily and with a will. Mrs. Vera Keith assisted with the singing of two lovely num- bers, everyone looked over and sang from our new Hymn and‘ Song sheets, many young people assisted‘ in prayer, and then came refreshâ€" ments, with everyone talking to someone else and all having just a delightful time. It was, indeedl, a happy time, and a fitting climax to our many weeks of singing, study, ,worship and fellowship together. This is certainly a brief review of the day’s activities, but it does serve to inform you of what took place on Easter in and around Thornhill United: Church, and we conclude by saying that it was just the most delightful and worthwhile day we have yet enjoyed. Incidentally, we do hope you read over and: appreci- ated the Easter Bulletin which was distributed last Sunday, and we want you to note the beauty of the cover and to recognize its Easter symlbolâ€" ism, as expressed in six different ways. This coming Sunday morning we are going to observe the Commun- ion of the Lord’s Suppér, and we in- vite you to ’be present. In the even- ing we go to Newtombrcok, as be- fore observed.
