IMPORTANCE OF WAR The privilege and opportunity of hearing Rev. Capt. A. E. Lavell, D.D., former Methodist pastor here, relate the story of his experiences while ovâ€" erseas as Chaplain with the British Mediterranean forces, . was enjoyed and heartily welcomed by the . large and appreciative audience of his forâ€" mer parishioners and friends which gathered to greet him in the Methoâ€" dist church on Thursday evening. His lecture served to again bring home to those present the bigness and vital importance of the issue being fought out on the battlefield of Eurâ€" ope and in other parts of the world, the self sacrificing and admirable deâ€" votion of all branches of the forces of the British Empire and her allies in the present momentous struggle, and the wonderful achievements wrought through the dauntless _ courage and valor of those who are fighting . to make the world safe for democracy. Rer. F. M. Mathers, B. D., acted as chairman, and in the course of a few introductory remarks referred in | a congratulatory way to the new honor which has come to Captain Lavell on whom the Senate of Victoria Univer sity recently conferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity. â€" He extended him a cordial wolcome on behalf of those present. With an carnest desire to be of serâ€" vice to, his country in the greatest of all wars, Captain Lavell, who is at present convalescing from an attack of malarfa fever contracted while on service, gladly. and cheerfully welâ€" comed the privilege which came . to him of going overseas as Chaplain of the Brant County Battalion. _ After his arrival in England he was attached to the British forces operating along the Mediterranean Sea and here for about a year he saw active service and encountered many experiences which save him aâ€"new appreciation of the gailantry, bravery and heroic conâ€" duct of the men who are fighting in the cause of justice and right. Capâ€" tain Lavell said it would be difficult to exaggerate the deeds of bravery ‘and sacrifice enacted, all of which can be verified from the official records. He pointed out the vital importance. of the Mediterranean to Gt. Britain and. the ;Allies, including | Italy and . Frange: * danger from submarinâ€" es Â¥ ever progent and he related sevâ€" eral ‘incidents Y his own, experience in which their tkansport nmlg;:ly esâ€" caped ‘being sun Alhough thousâ€" Ands of ships pase\through the, rumâ€" ber sunk is small,f due to the ceaseâ€" less watchfulness $f the British and" allied war vessels. s f The speaker referred to the opera: tions of the Britih forces in Egypt and Palestine, and[to the Dardanclies expedition,. where hAgaid the gallantry of the British naval Â¥prces was | beâ€" yond praise. He described the landkng made by a small British foree whitb sucteeded in securing a foothold andclung to it for eleven days despite alrhost insurâ€" mountable difficulties and exposure to the fire of hundreds of guns brqught to bear by the enemy on the position. He referred to the operations carâ€" ried on at Saloniki, a town in . the north of Greece, and what the allled forces endeavored to accomplish and did recomplish under the most trying cofiditions. _ Among the dbjects were to save the Serbians, to draw Greece to our side with her army of 350,000 men, to cooperate with the Russians, and to assist the Allies generally in that region. He told of a visit to Monastir in Servia. and the self sacrificing serâ€" yice rendered by surgeons and nurses under the most trying conditions, in their endeavor to alleviate the suffer ings of the people. The practice of the enemy in sinkâ€" inz hospital ships Captain Lavell troâ€"rly denonnced. _ How eanld the Allies negouate vith a power that \SAGHEH CANTATA WA RENDEERED Choir of St. John‘s Lutherâ€" an Church Gave an Excelâ€" lent Rendition.

Wo sacred cantata 8Uda y, E 55 A good sized audience was present in St. John‘s Lutheran Church on Wednesday evening on the occasion of the rendition of the sacred .cantaâ€" ta "Easter Memories" by the choir. This. effective choral work was given with orchestral accompz=niment and was very pleasingly rendered by the organization which possess cxcellent musical talent. The general excellence which markâ€" ed the rendering of the cantata under the efficient leadership of Mr. Chas. Froehlich reflected most creditably upon the organization which from time to time contributed to the enâ€" joyment of the music loving public, by the preparation and rendition . of choral works. â€" The solos were effectively sung by Mrs. J. Conrad, alto, Mr. W. Wegener, tenor, and Mr. H. German, bass. Mrs. German acceptably presided at the piâ€" ano while Mrs. Spady atso contributed an organ number. Dr. F. J. Weidenhammer, at the close of the cantata, announced that, it will be repeated Sunday evening. : He also paid a high tribute to th work the Y. M. C. A. is doing, nng said he would place it in the same class as the Red Cross. _ In this wat he stated that creeds and religious dlt tinctions are being forgotten, all bein; willing to sink any differences that our whole efforts might be devoted to winning the war. _ You apply just a few drops on the | tender, aching corn and instantly the. soreness is rclieved, and soon the corn is so soriveled that it lifts out with , out pain.
