2 MA And in the keen pangs with which you parted from your dear ones there was mingled a feeling of pride, which rose up within you. You, too, were givâ€" , ing of your best for king and country. ‘ Still there are the days and weeks ‘ and months and years of haunting wcare.. The stern needs of war have â€" left you in complete uncertainty as to where he isâ€"that one dearer than ; life itself. is are engaged. You know exactly what they felt and said when they joined / the army for this war. They were _ keen to "do their bit,‘ to be true to * our king and country, to make/ part iz Of the glorious wall stronger than _ stone and steel, built up by British _ hearts between a very terrible and [ wery eruel enemy and homeâ€"the j home which, if that wall were not & there, would share the dreadful fate _‘ of poor Belgium‘s homes, with their f murdered families, their outraged woâ€" men,. their ghastly heaps of bloodâ€" j soaked ruin. So they went. To lose : them by death, age, to think of them as broken, shattered, smashed, as a Red Cross nurse once, said of her men in hospital; to miss them; all this W Now and again you have had a letâ€" ter, cheery and confident in tone, but leaving you absolutely ignorant of his whereabouts. And now you have been for days, perhaps, weeks, without. a line. You are growing more and more troubled; you walk, day after day, to the post office with a tremor of apprehension.: And as time goes on it may be that your fears are turned into grim certainties. ‘ I would not for one moment set a light value on those sources of comâ€" fort which are not directly connected with our CBMristian faith. All that is good and healthy and human in the true sense of the word comes from God. And you are, I am sure, proud that he, who is dearer than life itâ€" self to you and who lies wounded or dead‘in a foreign land, has given his all uncomplainingly and has died for the land we love. Proudâ€"beyond meaâ€" sure must you be that his was the death of a hero, and not of a coward and shirker. That pride is divinely bestowed, and must bring comfort to your bleeding heart. Then, too, the gratitude and the sympathy, not only of your friends, but of the whole country, is worth having, and it is yours. The poet‘s words are true of your beloved man; You receive a lettekgram, or as you scan the list of casualties in the paper, there you see the name of husâ€" band, brother, sweetheart, son, among the wounded orâ€"among the dead. Yes, care is with us on every side, â€"we find it everywhere toâ€"day. Yes, there are days when all but the bravâ€" est are overborne for the moment by the fierceness of the conflict. And now, when the dark clouds are driftâ€" ing across the sky and the winds beat loudly and fiercely, I wish to speak a few words, if I may, of comfort to those whose hearts are very heavy with griefâ€"words which may not, God grant it, be "vacant chaff well mean for grain,‘"‘ but »~words which may help to cheer the heart and brace the will and strengthen you for life‘s journey which lies before you. And I see the good ship riding, all in a perilous road; ° The low reef booming on her lee; the swell of ocean poured, Sea after sea, from stem to stern; the mainmast by the board: "The bulwarks down;, the rudder gone; the boats stove by the chains: Speaking generally, there cannot be @ single person in the land, man, woâ€" man, or even child above infancy, who has not felt the horror of the.dark shadow that has come over us. The influence of the war is with us on evâ€" ery side. There is the overwhelming anxiety of those of you whose Husâ€" bands, sons, brothers, sweethearts, have been called to the front. Gladly indeed did they go, and proud to be awble to help their country in her hour of need. How sleep the brave who sink to rest With all their country‘s wishes blest! But, after all, the afflicted â€" soul needs something more than human sympathy or the satisfaction of a natâ€" ural feeling of pride in the brave deeds of our friends. These comforts but mitigate the aching pain; they cannot cure it. And â€"one of the surest blessings which God can bring out ‘of sorrow comes through our looking out from our own troubles upon other people‘s broken hearts and deathâ€"striken homâ€" es. Is it not so? Is there no gain and good in realizing=that we are "in the same boat‘"‘ with neighbors we know, and with countless men and women. we do not know, but whose hearts are made just like ours? ‘"The same afflictions are being accomplisheq in your brethren that are in the world. ‘So wrote that loving man, St. Peter, long ago, to hearts sorely tried â€" with trouble. _ And he says the same words to us toâ€"day. "Casting all your care upon Him." In Psalm 55 we read, "O cast thy burâ€" den (care) upon the Lord." ~ There are two different senses in which these words may be taken. â€" And to my mind, that is the more beautiful sense of the two: a sense which, one entered into, may be folâ€" lowed out in these gloriousâ€"verses: The one: cast thy burdenâ€"the heaâ€" vy load of sin, sorrow, temptation, let it be what it may, the Man of Sorâ€" rows will bear them all. Or, in another sense: cast thy burâ€" den on Him in the same way that the ship in a storm casts her burden on the anchor, which anchor holds on to its sure fixing place. Truwe there are mercies amidst the griefs, there is light beyond the shadâ€" ows. Let us enter, heart and soul, inâ€" to the solemn thought of the sorrows all around us. We shall be better able to share our sorrows together, when we remember how sorrows are lying around> us everywhere,. is indeed your own bitterness: your hearts know it. On the honor rdll of this church there are one hundred and twentyâ€" nine names, and of that number fourâ€" teen have made the supreme sacrifice in this dreadful but righteous war. For the last three who have made the suâ€" preme sacrifice, namely, Pte. Chas. Chappel, Sgt. Jag. Hopper and Flight Lieut. Oscar Mousley, this memorial service is being held. This evening I wish to speak, not only to the relatives and friends of the men I have just mentioned, but also to others whose lives have been darkâ€" ened by the terrible war in which we Sermon preached by the Rev. J. Hughesâ€"Jones, M.A., at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Mount Dennis, on Sunday last:; I. St. Peter, chap. \5, verse 7. "Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you." CASTING OUR CARE ON GOD A number of different forms of reâ€" view are given to suit the different ages of pupils and their developâ€" ment. The teacher should select the review best»suited to his class, and possibly two or more of these reâ€" view plans may be combined. Pictures Disclosed : In the younger classes use may be made of the beautiful series of lesson pictures published by the pubâ€" lishers of this book, the W. A. Wilde Company, â€"Boston. The teacher will prepare for each lesson three or four simple but comprehensive and interesting questions and write them. on broad strips of paper which will be fastened over the picture belongâ€" ing to the lesson in such a way that the picture is entirely hidden. The pictures may be fastened to the blackboard with thumb tacks and the strips fastened over them with tacks or pins. The pupils will take turns going to the board, removing a slip of paper, reading the question, and answering it As each picture is disâ€" closed it may be given to one of the pupils, until each has received a copy. Here are sample questions on Lesson I: Why should we love Jesus? If we love Jesus, what should we do% What is it to be a Christian ? & 1. Proper requirements for admisâ€" sion to our modern churches. The lessons of this quarter are full of suggestions for present day applications that the older classes will wish, to discuss, and doubtless they will have wished for more time for this purposeâ€" all through . the three months. The review may be deâ€" voted to these applications, and each lesson may be assigned to a different member of the class, for him to disâ€" cuss from this viewpoint. He should confine himself strictly to three minâ€" utes,â€"and to that end should write and read what he has to say. The folâ€" lowing topics for the twelve lessons may be helpful: eS The 8. S. Lesson Golden text: My little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongues; but in deed and truth.â€"I. John 3: 18; \3. Things for which all Christians should toâ€"day unite in prayer. 9. The best way to promote® Chrisâ€" tian giving. s vance, to copy on slips of paper which you will give them one Bible text appropriate to each lesson â€" of the quarter. In addition, assign to each pupil one of the lessons for him to provide with Bible quotations, as many as he can find. He is to write them out on many colored slips which you will give him. In the class each will read his verses on the lesâ€" son assigned him, and the others will add their verses on that lesson. As each slip‘is read it will be handed to an assistant (one of the parents, perâ€" haps), who will pin the slips toâ€"geâ€" ther, finally throwing the chain of verses around the pupil‘s neek. Thus proceeding with all the lessons. 6. â€"Christian helpfulness _ needed in our town. f 7. How to make our church more efficient. 8. Is modern Christian testimony as effective as it might be? 11. What can our class do for world wide missions? Since September of 1914 the comâ€" mittee of the "Scottish Women‘s Hosâ€" pital Units‘" have equipped and fitted up nine hospital units and two ambuâ€" lance transport columns. 2. Why the Bible has more inâ€" fluence toâ€"day than ever before. 4. Is the quality of obedience â€"deâ€" clining? 10. What can our class do for the temperance cause? 12. Are Christians today happier than nonâ€"Christians. ‘The most expensiva chair in the world belongs to the Pope. It is of solid silver and said to have cost $90,000. \ REVIEWâ€"What it Mceans to be Christian. Be still, my soul! the Lord is on thy side; % Bear patiently the cross of grief and pain; Leave to thy God to order_ and proâ€" vide; & 8 In every change He faithful will remain: a i Be still, my soul! thy best, thy heavenâ€" ly friend, Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. v In every pang that rends the heart The Man of Sorrows had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, 3 And to the sufferer sends relief. One more thing you may do. You may let your sorrows so enrich your own life and character that you shall be able more fully toâ€"enter into and to share and relieve the troubles of others. You have, it may be, passed into your Gethsemane at this time: the burden that you have had to bear is a heavy one.. But God gives you His comfort that you may be able to help others. ‘"Blessed be the God of comfort, who comforteth us that we may be able to comfort them that are in itribulation." And as we take our griefs to God we may leave them with Him. I do not mean that the sorrow will pass away. That you would not wish yourâ€" self. But the (sting of ~it will go. Kneeling before God‘s altar or in the quiet of your own room, you will find your spirit bathed, as it were, and reâ€" freshed in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 We can tell all our anxieties and sorrows to Jesus. We often feel, in moments of strain, that it would be a great comfort to talk over our troubles and griefs with a sympathizâ€" ing friend. And that is what our Lord invites us to do. He says, "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest. I will restore the troubled soul and spirit." "Cast thy burden upon the Lord." In your own home, in your church, tell all to Godâ€"your anxiety about your dear ones, your heavy load of sorrow at the loss of husband, son or brother. But courage still, brave mariners! the Anchor yet remains: And he will flinchâ€"no, never an inchâ€"until ye pitch sky high; Then he moves his head, as if he said: ‘"Fear nought! for here am 5.

Every time you buy a thing you do not need to interfere with Canada‘s war work. Every dollar you spend on things not strictly necessary is a dollar not merely wasted,, but used to employ labor on things that have nothing to do with our efforts to win the war for freedom. Last week there was a very fine treat in store for all those who saw that great picture at the Oakwood picture house. It was Gerard‘s Four Years in Germany.! This revealed facts that have been heard, but never fully confirmed. There were portrayâ€" ed on the screen in a manner that will not be easily erased from the minds of those who saw it. It was an eduâ€" cation and all ‘who did not see the picture should read the book. It will show what the spirit of the Germans is. It will give to all new strength to go on with greater determination than ever before. Red peppersâ€"1 Jas. Dandridge, 2 A. W. Martin & Son. Best collection of vegetables and rootsâ€"Jas.
