PRAYER FOR SOLDIERS

Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty G.o.d, that we who are called to the service of our Empire, may ever remember the honour which we uphold and the privilege which is entrusted to us, to defend our Sovereign, our homes and our country. Enable us at all times to do what is right, and so to conduct ourselves, that we may bring no disgrace upon the uniform which we wear, nor upon the flag under which we serve. Make us faithful, brave and true to our duty, and especially to Thee, our G.o.d, as soldiers of Christ and soldiers of the King. Keep us, defend us and save us at all times; fill our hearts with courage and love, and may we never be ashamed to confess Thee before men, as good soldiers and servants of Thine. And this we ask for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

HYMN, "STAND UP FOR JESUS"

_Quit you like men, be strong_

Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the Cross; Lift high His Royal Banner, It must not suffer loss; From victory unto victory His army He shall lead; Till every foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict In this His glorious day; Ye that are men now serve Him Against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus; Stand in His Strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you, Ye dare not trust your own; Put on the gospel armour, And watching unto prayer, Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus; The strife will not be long; This day the noise of battle, The next the victors' song; To him that overcometh A crown of life shall be; He with the King of glory Shall reign eternally. Amen.

NATIONAL ANTHEM

G.o.d save our Gracious King, Long live our n.o.ble King, G.o.d save the King.

Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us; G.o.d save the King.

Thy choicest gifts in store, On him be pleased to pour; Long may he reign.

May he defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice, G.o.d save the King.

INDIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE RECONSTRUCTION OF BROCK'S MONUMENT

(Communicated by the Editor.)

The indignation aroused by the destruction of the first monument erected to General Brock was fully shared by the Indians of Ontario. Meetings of the Bands were held at which expression was given to the feelings which stirred their hearts. They asked the Government to allow them to join with the White Men in contributing to the Fund for the reconstruction of the monument, and this having been most cordially granted, a sum amounting to 207 10s. was raised among the Indians in sums varying from 7 10s. to 15 and paid over to the general fund on behalf of the following Bands:--

The Chippewas of the Upper Reserve, on the River St. Clair.

The Chippewas of the Lower Reserve and Walpole Island, on the River St. Clair.

The Hurons and Wyandotts of Amherstburg.

The Chippewas of the River Thames.

The Munsees of the River Thames.

The Oneidas of the River Thames.

The Six Nation Indians of the Grand River.

The Missisagua of the River Credit.

The Chippewas of the Saugeen River, Lake Huron.

The Chippewas of the Township of Rama, Lake Couchiching.

The Chippewas of Snake Island, Lake Simcoe.

The Missisagua of Alnwick, Rice Lake.

The Missisagua of Rice Lake Village, Otonabee; and of Mud and Balsam Lakes.

The Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte.

The following pet.i.tion from the Missisagua of Rice Lake, shows the spirit in which the Indians acted:

"_To_ SAMUEL P. JARVIS, _Esquire, Chief Superintendent of Indian Affairs_.

"Father: "We have heard of the wicked attempt to destroy the Monument of our old Chief, Sir Isaac Brock; and are also informed of the intention of the White Man to rebuild it.

"Father: "We respect the memory of the brave, and are sorry to find that there are any who do not.
