The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1918-06-28


After the dedication of the Service
Flag at the Baptist church at Paw
Paw, Sunday morning, Rev. C. H.
Heaton announced to his congrega-
tion that he had received Notice from
Congressman E. l.. Hamilton, of his
appointment of Chaplain, and noti-
fled to report at the Chaplain's Train
ing Camp at Louisville, Kentucky for
training July 18th. While his people
knew that he had enlisted and that
his name had been recommended to
the War Board, they still hoped that
it might be some time before he was
called to the colors.
He has served as Pastor of the
Baptist church for over four years,
and his work has been very success
full. Mr.. Heaton and his wife are
greatly loved by the Church people
and held ir great esteem and respect
by all the people of the community.
He is a man filled with the Spirit
of God and with patriotism, offering
his services and his life, if need be,
for humanity. He says he could not
stand in the pulpit and preach the
Gospel in the years to come, if he
failed to do his part in this great
crisis. He will be in4 training a
month before he knows whether he
will be sent across the water, or
stationed at some Training Camp or
Cantonment in this Country. If he
remains in this country, his wife and
family will undoubtedly locate near
him. He will report at Camp Taylor
Louisville, KY, on Monday, July 9th,
for a five weeks training course, at
the end of which time if he passes
the required tests and examination,
he will be commissioned Lieutenant.
Those who know him best have no
doubts but that energetic, red blood
ed, patriotic preacher will pass the
required tests and that he will serve
his country with great honor and
credit.
