Motto for 1915; Be true to your trust. THE LATE DAVID EDWARD ORR. OF all tho Lives which this war has claimed of our membership, a worthy place must be reserved for the late D. EB. Orr. After an honourable career, full of the highest promise in the Wolfhill Spinning Co., and later in the Counting-House of Herland & Wolff's Shipbuilding Yard, M». Orr joined the Royal Marines on September 23rd, 914, and went, for training to Chatham. Here is how he expressed the resolve “of his heart. in his letter to Mr, Boylo.on September 27:—"In the present conflict of might against right, old England asks the aid of all her sons; it is in answer to that eall thet I leave home and friends to help to defend and uphold our glorious heri- tage of liberty, and to pass it down unsullied to all generations.” Here we seo the spirit of the man. Two of his former chums wrote to his mother on learning of his death:—"He was & great pal of ours, and as good-hearted a chap as any one could find. His country has lost a most noble son; great honour is due to him for_ the gallant spirit which he displayed.” This is a noble testimony. He left Plymouth for Egypt on February last, and fell in the historie landing of the British tops at the Da¥donelles. 4 young man of high ideals, of noble Christian spirit, of upright life, 2 model son, a true.patriot, and a gallant soldier he baa left’ memory’ of imperish. able record that will be cherished by all who knew him. We extend our-sincerest. sympathy to his father and mother and all sorrowing relatives “‘He loved duty more'than he feared death.” e BROTHER O' MINE, You vent with the first when you heard the call, Brother 0” Mine, Straight to the Battle-ground, stand or fall, Brother 0” Mine. Aye, ready and willing to give your all, Brother o” Mine. ‘You died on the field when the sun was low, Brother 0” Mine. Not one of us near you, who loved you 80; Brother 0” Mine, 0, say, if at last it was hard to go, Brother o” Mine. ‘Thine arm was strong 9s thy soul was brave, Brother 0? Mine, No thought ever moved thee thy life to sare, Brother o” Mine. But,—Where, O where is thy lonely grave? Brother 0” Mine, And I may never see thee more, Brother 0” Mine, Till, T too, reach that farther shore, Brother 0” Mine, Farewell, farewell, —my heart is sore, Brother o’-Mine, —Wiltiam 8, Seott. ® THE LATE MR. EBENEZER CRAIG, formerly ‘at 4, Lomond Avenue. ‘We regret to have to chronicle the death of Mr. Craig, on Monday Evening, Juno 21, at 8, Car- dean St.; Dundee, by apoplexy. It is only some weeks since he and his family removed from Belfast to Dundeo with every hope of a bright future, but “His weys are not our ways.” An upright conscientious man who feared ‘God and kept His commandments, an exemplary Christian, fa loving husband, a kind and gentle father, a noble and staunch friend—euch was Mr. Craig. ‘We mourn that we shall see his face no more. We tender our sincerest bympathy to his bereaved wife and family in their great sorrow. May the consclations of the Gospel be theirs.
