VERMONTER BACK
WITH FOUR WOUNDS
Walter WEIGH Of South Royalton and
Essex Sees Hot Action on Bel
gian Front with Canadians.

BURLINGTON, Sept. 81. - Walter
WcTch, well known in Burlington for
some time, arrived in the city Wednes-
dav en- route to his home in South Royal
Ton. with four wounds in him, received
On the front in Belgium. He is now well
~ the road to recovery but the wounds
still cause him trouble and he can do lit
lc in the way of exertion so he has been
given three months furlough with six
months hospital leave.
Wclch received all four of his wounds
when he went over the top with 3
other Americans, members of the same
battalion in Canadian regiment. They
went over in a bombing raid and of the
- only - came back, and of that mum
her most were wounded. Welch s
wounds are all in his legs. One is from
shrapnel in the ankle and the other
three are from machine gun fire. This
rate of loss is not up to ordinary among
troops who first went into action when
not as much as was known about fight
ing as now. Some battalions in the
early DAYS were wiped out entirely but
things are getting much better now for
the allies have learned lot about fight
ing.
The Canadian outfit which Weleh
joined was one of the first to 90 over
seas and they left Canada tn. latter part
of July in 1915. They were put into ac-
tion about five months later and Welch
was only in the trenches five weeks in
all before he got his. Since that time
he has been in the hospitals. The ac-
tion in which he was engaged took place
between Hill go aud Bickerbush. The
men who were killed in his battalion
were mostly from Massachusetts and
| New York.
Welch saws that the Saxons who were
taken prisoners were a good lot of feI.
lows. A good many of them seemed
glad to be taken prisoners even at that
| time He didn t speak so well of the
many Prussian prisoners, contrary Ia
general opinion, and that some of the
/ Guard were now in captivity.
Welch had an excellent chance to
ascertain what the different hospitals
had to offer and prefers by far those
in France to those in England.
! In the opinion OF Welch, Germany i
/ no where near licked and is showing nc
4 signs of weakening. The fact that the
/ allies have lost so heavily does not mean
there is anywhere near the same los,

/ his regiment, who was giving instruc
tions in bombing, got to monkeying Will
y bomb and it went off, killing the In
j structor. OF course, great strides have
been made in the past two years and tn,
loss is probably now nearly even.
Some peculiar things happened in th'
canadian regiment. One man put in ..
months at the front and never got
scratch. He was then given a furlougI
end went to London and was run owe

Il iuri6y.
Wclch went over in a spirit of adven
turc but he is now overcrowded wit

rving SO much adventure around wit

for the rest of his life would be to .

AT The Cumberland
Presbyterian Church

At the morning service there was
some special music that was enjoyed
by all present. At this hour the pas
tor chose as his subject Gods Pow
er as Comfort to His People," US
ing as a scripture text lisa. 40:2S.
He said that he used this scripture
because of its beauty of expression.
No man had a greater or more beau
tiful vision of God and His relation
to man than did Isaiah. When we
think of God as all-powerful and the
great ruler of our lives we should
have a strong desire to know more OF
Him and to understand more clearly
our relation to Him. We should
not fear of Him that causes us un-
easiness but should be sustained and
strengthened by the wonderful com
fort to be derived from the thought
that He ''fainteth not neither is
weary, but he giveth power to the
faint; and to them that have no
might he increaeth their strength.
We have a God that is all-powerful
and all wise-one who can manipu
late things so that we are brought in
to the pleasure of living.
Many of our lives are lied with
broken plans and disappointments
building our hopes upon Things we
have never realized. From a human
standpoint small things can hinder
our progress. which proves our weak
ness. 1t is amazing to think how
weak we are and how utterly impos
sible it is to do anything without
God. We need Him everywhere and
all the time, for anything planned
without Him is apt to be failure
We do not see why God chastises
us; but through the test of others
experience we see why many things
transpire in our lives. He whips
those whom He loves into His ser
vice. often laying upon us sorrows
and griefs; but in the hour when He
takes, perchance. that one whom We
love most, it is done only to attract
our minds from sordid things up t(
something higher and nobler.
The Christian man is strong a.
long as he depends upon God. Ou
real strength is measured by ou
righteousness, and our weakness b,
our sinfulness We are only al
strong as our perfections will permit
Bound together by brotherly love an,
brotherly kindness. linked on to Got
Himself, we can accomplish wonders
We can gain victory over all ou
penemies only through Gods all-pow
