Capt. Best spoke at the morning and took the large congregation on an imaginary trip with the Canadiagn solâ€" diers from Quebec to England, across the Motheriand to Folkestown then across the English channel to France up â€" to the four large divisional camps ‘of the Canadian troops. He graphically described unusual fedtures of the trip and on arriving at the base line be outlined the immensity of the various camps. _ He then took _ his hearers up to the artillery firing line and from there to the communication and front line trenches. _ The life of the boys in the trenches, in the camps and the base hospitals was told in a fascinating manner by Capt. Best, who brought a message of encouragement to the parents and relatives of the boys at home. He deprecated the reâ€" ports that have been circulated reâ€" garding the morals of the men overâ€" seas and stated that these reports are the work of the enemy. Capt. Best addressed a large audiâ€" ence of women at the Zion Evangelâ€" cal church in the afternoon.: during which he told of the great help that is being rendered by the women of England, France and Canada. The Grand Theatre, which was genâ€" erously granted by Manager Jennings to the 1. O. D. E. for the occasion, was crowded in the evening to hear Capt. Best compare conditions at the frout during the first two years with present conditions. He stated that during the first two years the Allies never bad a ghost of a chance to win the war, and the marvel is that the Allies held on to their lines as long as they did before the muchâ€"needed arâ€" mament commenced to afrive a year ago last August. The line at present was impregnable‘ and he _ was not worrying‘ over the possibility of Gerâ€" many bringing troops over from the Russian front, as they could not break through the Alligqd lines now, and it will only. mean that more of _ the enemy‘s forces will be exterminated. The retreat at the Marne, he said, cannot be explained by military authâ€" orities and is one of the mysteries of the war. â€" He spoke of the excelient work of the chaplains, the Red Cross nurses, the doctors and the Y. M. C. A. workers, all of whom are assisting in keeping up the morale of the army. The chair was occupied by Dr. J. F. Honsberger, and prayer was offered by Rev. C. A. Sykes Mrs Mary Hallman Schell sang "Marseilles" in ‘a most beautiful manner, and the Grand orâ€" chestra rendered a number of excelâ€" lent selections.
