Rev. Arthur F. Purkiss. pastor of the church, delivered the Memorial -ad- dress. Rev. Mr., Purkiss reminded the men of ’61 that had it not been for what they had done we should not have been the great triumphant united people that we are, marching forth as a mighty puissant people to save the world from the hellishness of a Ger- man peace. You men are responsible for this, he said, and we cannot thank you too much for it. This is a great war. Most wars have two sides to them. This has but one. Germany is anti-Christ. Anti- Christ in beginning the war, anti- Christ in her method of carrine it on, anti-Christ in her dealings with sur- rendered countries like Russia and Roumania. We used to wonder if there were not two sides. But poison gas. robbing of banks, raping of women and shopting of helpless and defenceless men is a record never before equalled by any nation in human history. Oth- er nations have been oruel in warfare but not in organized Hellishness. There is now no question of how, why. or where we stand in \this war. There is not room enough on this earth for Germany and civilized human beings So one or the other of us must die. Tt is either surrender your freedom, vour democracy, vour minds and your Christ. or crush the Germans. We have no choice in this war. You veter- ans of the Civil war fought for the freedom of the slaves and now oOur boys over ‘there are fighting for the freedom of the world. Jesus Christ died upon the cross to redéem men from sin and not to set men free. We are the Pessiah nation. We are giving ours felves that the world might live, Car- ry on is the watéh word and we at home must do this. R:chard Hourigan Joins Mnnnen. Richard E.

April 21, 1918, Dear Sir: I am up for two hours today and feel pretty good, so I will take advan- tage of it to write you a few lines. Monsieur .R. Magnus tells me that he keeps you posted as to how I fare; nevertheless, this will prove to you that I am not only out of danger but feeling considerably better. Doctors don’t want me to write much yet, for I have lost my left eye and my right is still weak. I felt a bit shocked. when, after a thorough examg- ination, the specialist told me that my eye would be entirely lost, for I had hopea it would get better. I am gaining strength every day and hardly suffer any more from my wound, that is physically, for T have a terrible gash cn my face, almost from ear to ear. I have hecen told that I wfll be dis- charged from active service’as soon as I am strong enough to go home. This has hurt me more than anything else. You see, it is so long since I have stepped out of civilian life that, al- though T always looked forward to the day when I would be able to get back to work and to liberty, I am quite staggered now that I am on the eve of regaining my freedom. ' I give “myself good scoldings for feeling this way, but that does not seem_ to help any. I suppose I will feel different once I get home and get strong again. Thank you for the magazines re- ceived some three weeks ago. They surely do.keep me company in this lonely place. Seme “Sammies” are in my room and I have passed a few to them. They, too, have enjoyed them immensely. Mr, Magnus tells me that you cabled him to help me out, if T needed. Mille fois merci. But, for the moment, Y don’t need anything. I still have 240 F. left at the Farmers’ Loan & Trust company from your last check. I sent for it yesterday, as the bill of fare here is rather light. I had used the other half of the money to dress and get the most necessary things after we were burned out. TheY cut my uni- form to pieces after I was wounded; anyway, it was all stained with blood, so I'll have to start again. Enfin, c’est Ja guerre! I don’t know how long I will remain here. so please ad- dress me care of Mr. Magnus, or at my home. En attendant le plaisir de vous voir bientot. Croyez-moi, Votre devoue , . JEAN.
