stirred with the news that our fellow subjects in South Africa were plunged into all the horrors of war, waged against them by a misguided yet a stubborn and determined foe; and we all admired the readiness with which you offer- ed your services to our Gracious Severeign in the crisis of the Em- need. Inspired by a noble impulse, you voluntarily made the greatest sacrifice which man can offer tohis country—you severed connection with all that was near and dear to you—home, and family, and frieuds, and church—exchanged conveniences and f

pire s

comforts of ordinary life for the perils the priva- tions and uncertainties of the bat- tlefield, that you might impart

spiritual consolation and minister to | the temporal needsof Canada’s heroic | South |

soldiers on the battiefields of Africa. We were pleased almost beyond measure to learn from time to time that you took a deep and | abiding interest in the welfare ol the Island Contingent from the out

set, and this was duly appreciated |

DEAR SIR :-—

[It stands alone in history—that thrilling spectacle of the heroic youth of Britain’s wide-spread col- onies, leaping to arms at the beck of the Motherland, and rushing by thousands, fast as the swiftest ships could carry them to repel invasion, |crush tyranny and establish S8ritish freedom in the mis-governed pro- vinces of Southern Africa.

The race, Sir, from which you are sprung, has been little in the habit of turning a deaf ear toa just call toarms. The Gordons, the Black Watch and the Sutherlanders from the hcathery hills, which your fore- fathers loved, were already in the fray, where it was thickest. The heroic spirit inherited from your ancestors was stirred within you you buckled on your sword and bade us farewell, here, where we have met to bid you welcome back.

The hopes we then -ventured to utter, *‘ your early and safe return, and re-union with the Caledonian Club,’’ have been realized. You have suffered hardships, endured | fatigue, and borne well the count- less miseries which an arduous cam- paign entails on the soldier. We velcome you back to rest—the cause for which you ventured your

| life has triumphed; and when, in future years the story of the great struggle in South Africa will be the theme of talk in your presence, yours will be the well-won right—a |right which every patriot might |proudly covet, to say ‘I was there.’’ | These, dear sir, are words, but hey come from our hearts, and this small gift, may, we trust, in your intercourse with it, serve oc- casionally to recall the _ historic events of this happy evening. Signed in behalf of the donian Club. JoHN A. McLaren, Chief. JoHN MCPHEE, President. ALEX. McDona.p. CHARLES McGReEGor, R. McMILuan. Committee. Club Rooms, Charlottetown, Nov. 15th, 1900.
