Dorset Church Notes

All members Of the Church are re;
quested to keep in mind the annual
meeting which will take place at noon
on the last day of December.
Beginning next Sunday and continu-
ing until further notice, all the SER
vices of the Church will be held in
the vestry. This arrangement is made
necessary by the scarcity of fuel.
Because Of the severe storm last
Sunday evening and the consequent
difficult travelling, the attendance at
the Christmas service and drama was
not large. The service, however, was
appreciated by all who were present,
and in order that others may enter
into the spirit of it, the children of
the Church school have decided to re-
peat the drama next Sunday evening
at 1870. Another offering will be taken
for the relief of the Armenian and
Syrian children.

THE MEN WHOSE LOT
HAS BEEN HARDEST

There recently died Of pneumonia In
France. Major Willard Straight, of the
American Army He was above the
draft age and was man of large and
many interests, He had wife and
three children. There was every ex.
cuse for him not TO have gone to the
front, but both he and his wife had in
their souls that touch of heroism
which makes II impossible for gener-
GUS natures to see others pay with
their bodies and not wish to do some.
thing themselves.
The one regret Major Straight felt
and he felt it most bitterly, was that
he had not been able in spite of all his
efforts to get to the actual firing front.
This failure was really cause of
great anguish of soul to him.
In the same way know Of the four
sons Of an ex-cabnet officer, all Of
whom instantly went into the Army at
the outbreak of the war. Two were
at the fighting front, one was in the
Navy and the other, because of special
excellence as an instructor. was kept
here, and the gallant young fellow,
who left his wife and baby to enlist,
really feels as if the refusal of the
War Department to permit him to go
where he could be shot at had caused a
blight on his life. | know three other
men who because of their excellence
were kept as instructors at one of our
camps, whose feelings of regret are SO
bitter that they can hardly bear to
look at their uniforms, and the sight of
wounded soldiers causes them agonies
of thwarted longings.
All this is most natural, and just
what we should expect from high
minded, gallant fellows But it is en-
tirely unwarranted. utterly abhor
the swivel chair Stacker who got some
safe job in order to avoid doing his
duty at the front. But for the hun
dreds of thousands Of young Ameri-
cans in the ranks or with commits
sions who did everything they could to
go on the firing lines, and who through
no fault Of theirs failed, have precis-
ely the same feeling that ] have for
the men who took part in the most
dangerous work.
General Leonard Wood, in his recent
capital address, has taught the right
lesson to these men. He was dismis-
sing to their homes the men whom he
had trained with his usual extraordin-
airy capacity to fit them for work over
seas, and he dwet to them upon the
fact that the all-important point was
