There has been placed in the Unitarian

names of those who are serving the colors
from that church The names are: Ru-
doph H. Wiggin, Thomas G. Randall,
Charles B. Hazeltine, Reginald R. Cot
trell, Malcolm l.. Cottrell, Frank D. Haz-
eltine, Donald S. Clark and Herbert B.
Foster. Referring to it last Sunday in
his sermon Rev. A. E. Wilson said: 81
hope you noticed as you came into church,
bove the table in the vestibule, roll of
honor, containing the names of eight
young men, who through their families
or their own Identification with it, look
to this church as their home church.
These young men are now serving their
country at home or abroad, on land or
sea. Others of our number have gladly
volunteered or been chosen but were re-
iected. We hold them equally in honor
e ven though their names do not appear.
Here are the names of those who are
actually serving the colors of their native
land, who have given themselves to the
call of humanity. Without any formal
exercises of dedication, we do all of US
this day and ever more, cherish in our
hearts deep appreciation of their ser
vices. We consider it an honor not only
that they have conferred upon them
selves but upon this church. and we shall
hold them in lasting memory and graft
tude. Our prayers and best wishes &C
company them; they will be more in our
thoughts than ever, and this church will
feel a closer identity with this great
struggle for the fact that we have these
young men representing u.s. May the
honor and esteem in which we hold these
men lead us to be more ready to present
ourselves as living sacrifices for them and
for others, holy and acceptable unto God,
