A Kitbirt Pnyir for Jar Sitdiir Joi. 0 God of infinite mercy, hear the mothers of this- laud as we plead before Thy throne for the loved one we are sending fort h to battle for the Right. Though our hearts are bowed with Borrow, we pray not for ourselves; all our prayers, 0 God of love, are fjr them, the priceless treasures of our lives. We are willing to suf fer, and, if need be, to die for our country. . We would gladly give our lives t) save these loved ones, dearer to us than life itself, who are go ing out to fight foes, seen and un seen, to face all the horrors of the battlefield, and some per chance to die, that others may live, but by no word or look will we hold them to save others. Give them the manhood to meet this supreme test of life, give them strength of body, of nund and soul to do battle fort h e Right, and to succor to women and children. Arm them with Di vine power to smite evil; fold them in thy loving arms; yea, though they walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death may Thy presence banish every fear and Thy rod and Thy staff comfort tbem. For three long years the men ol our allies have battled lor us a for their own homes, and their loved ones have endured the sor rows which now we must face. 0 jr men go forth to help save us from ruin and the world from birbarism. We suffer, but we glo ry in thy manhood. We dedicate our lives to this great cause that we may serve behind the lines while they carry forward the flag of civilization. The prayers of a world in ago ny, for whom thee loved ones are fighting, are lifted up to Thee for these men. They are offering all that earth holds dear, bw Ciuse Jbey have heard Thy voice calling them to the noblest work to which lives were ever consecra ted. Thy love, 0 God, our Fa- ' tber, excels all other love, so we leave them with Tbee, To JTbee have we committed them. They are Thine, created in Thy image. - Into them Thou hast breathed the breath of life in the largest and divinest sense, f? In their sacrifices, offering their lives that others might lire they are following in the footsteps Of the Son of God Himself, who died to make men free from the power of evil. We trust them, 0 God, to Thy infinite love, and to thy ever-watchful eye. Hold them as in the hollow of Thy band, for .they are doing Thy work and ful filling the teachines of Him who spake as man never spoke, when He taught that no greater love has any man that he is willing to lav down his life for others.

He was out in front yesterday with another scout and was snip ed through the heart, being kill ed instantly. He suffered no pain and if we have to go his was the death we all would like to have. We recovered his body and conveyed it to a military cemete ry nine miles in the rear so he will rest in peace and not be dis turbed. I will see that a cross is erect ed with bis name and Batalion on it and his grave location will be registered with the graves Reg istrar, Canadian Forces. Yourson's death is a great loss to me, to my company, and the Battalion. He was the best scout we bad and was thought very highly of by every one he came in contact with. He was an excellent soldier, most reliable and a good work er, wno tooK a keen interest in his profession. He died the noble death of a true and gallant soldier in the execution of his duty, and has left behind a host of comrades to mourn his loss and honor bis memory. I will send hU personal effects direct to you, as I am sure you will like to have them, and if they went through the regular channel they would probably take several months to reach you.

Says the Wilkes Journal. An aeroplaue was seen to pass over the Northern part of Alexander county, just west of Taylorsville, on Friday of last week.
