Dan Douglass, No. 8433, No. 3 Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Brigade, Canadians in France, Army P.O., London, England. _ Dear Mr. James--Am writing this time, in the first place, to thank you for the copies of Toronto papers received. received. They are very welcome. May I whisper in your ear that those Toronto Toronto Q.O.R. boys must be old soldiers to write such yarns as some of them do. I can understand just a little bit of stretching facts, but I wonder if the chap who wrote that tale about the trenches being 5 to 10 yards apart, took a look to see for himself. This is the item from Toronto Telegram to which I refer. "Some parts of our trenches, I believe, are within between five to twelve yards of the German lines, so you can imagine what a trial it is for two parties, both so bloodthirsty, to be located so close. However, I feel satisfied that, a good time for us is near, so we'll hope for the best."

Gan you imagine having your enemy twelve yards away from you and letting them stay ? Why, if some of us got out and fell down full length twice, we would be in their trenches. Sometimes, on a quiet night, we can hear the voices of the men opposing us as plainly as tho they were only that far away, but if we take a look we will soon see--that is, if they do not let you feel, as there's a risk in taking a look at the same place twice. The last place we were in, the boys told us we were "the'firing line", but if our boys gavé a thought to it, it was a curious fact that they were themselves themselves walking about too freely for that. Besides, they do not generally walk above the trench with a cigarette cigarette ifl their mouths, if there is a chance Qf somebody on the other side taking a pot shot at the end of the cigarette which is not lit. Of course, the idea is to make us cautious, and it is needed. I heard of one case where one of the Scots was on the top of a trench repairing the parapet. He was cautioned cautioned about exposing himself, but his answer was " 'im 'it me ? Wye, 'e couldn't 'it a cow's back with a stick ! This is an instance of the absolute contempt contempt of the "Hun" gun fire, as shown by one of the soldiers who has gone thru it from the start. The. Scot talked talked as if he came from the east end of London, but whether he were a Scot or not he had no fear of Germans. One gets used to rifle fire, but still its just as well to give the bullet the benefit of the doubt sometimes. It was curious that you should publish publish the letter about the smashed windmill windmill and the same day I got a London paper with the picture of the same mill in it. I am enclosing same to let you see the effect of shell fire. There were ::our Huns in this mill with machine ^uns once, then in a very short space of time--they were'nt. Roy McDonald McDonald photographed A. Oxley and myself in the positions marked, but I cannot say where the photos are now, as Roy gave them to boys going to the base ;o be developed for him, and that's the *ast he heard of them. Anyhow, you can see where we were at one time, and that's the last picture taken of Alf. Oxley. "Happy" was Orderly. Corporal that week or he surely would lave been with us, too. One of the joys has just noticed the article in the japer, and now he is standing in the centre of an admiring crowd, reading of "the glorious country in which 1- we now live" with hand placed where he imagines his heart is, and the other waving about as tho it were one of the wings of the afore-mentioned mill." {To be continued next week) THE HOSPITAL PRESIDENT. Rev. Re- H. B. Kenny Retires with GRET FROM THE BOARD. At the June meeting of the Bowman- yille Hospital Board Mr. J. W. Alexander presented the President, Rev. H. B. Kenny Kenny with an excellent "address on his rearing rearing from the Board, thanking him for the good work he has done inconnection with he Hospital and expressed the Board's regret at their having to accept his resignation, resignation, but wished him God-speed . in his eparture and future work in the cause of lumanity and hoped that his successor would eventually take his place on the Board. ~ Rev. Mr. Kenny replied to the Board thanking them for the kind words spoken by Mr. Alexander, and mentioned that while his pastoral charge had been large and occupied nearly all his time, yet he found time to serve on the Board and never enjoyed a duty better than those in the interest of the Hospital. He regretted regretted very much that he had to tender his resignation and concluded by wishing the Hospital continued success and prosperity in relieving the ilia and accidents to which the human flesh is heir. theme was from the words "Finally, toy brethren, be strong in the Lord and in th > power of his might" and his parting message to his people was a real heart-to-he irt talk from pulpit to pew. He ref erred to the thinning of the ranks and to some of the splendid men and women who have passed to the great beyond, and commended the various societies of the church for the splendid work and hearty support given to him thruout his term here and for their loyalty to the cause of God. At thé afternoon service the sup rin ten dent, Mr. Wm. Trewin, made very kindly reference to Pastor Kenny's interest and help in the Sabbath Sabbath School to which the pastor made most suitable reply. In the evening the pastor spoke from the words "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ" and presented the fact, as he has always done thru- out his ministry in this church, in a clear straight-forward manner. He gave cheering words of thanks to all the officiary of the church, choir, and the various societies and wished for his successor, Rev. W. G. Clarke, B.A., the same kindly int rest and help that he had received. The choir sang several several fine anthems and just before the close Dr. W. E. T.iley, Recording Steward, asked permission to make an announcement and called for the official official representatives to go forward. They surrounded the sacred desk and Rev. E. A. Tonkin read the following address which explains itself: The undersigned members of the Quarterly Official and Trustee Boards of the Bowmanville Methodist Church, in behalf of our respective boards and the general congregation of our church, to Rev.
