The Dead.

1t is with sorrow and regret
that the Young Mems Christian
Association and the soldiers in
Meade regard the loss of so
many of the fighting forces in
camp as a result of the epidemic
of influenza.
Those who have died have not
died in vain. 1t is as if they had
fallen upon the battlefield in
France, for they were ready to
take their places in the line, and
they fought hard against the
disease which dragged them
down. Those who remain will
not forget their valor, their en-
thusiasm in bearing arms, their
self-sacrifce when it came to
entering the hospital, their re-
fusing treatment that others
might receive it first, their
Christian example as they pa
tiently bore their suffering.
Sorrow is felt for their loved
ones at home, who will always
have the greater burden to car
~. War means sadness for
them, but it is the more poig-
nant when their own warriors
fail to return to hearth and
home. But they may rest as
sured that these men have
proven themselves worthy SOL
dicrs. What more could one
ask7
Fight on, brave men and wom-
enl Life is indeed worth while.
The clarion, call of nations in
need sounds in our ears. Let
Is battle for freedom and let
courage be our watchword.
Death shall not deter us; it is
but the beginning of a new life.
