DEATH OF CORPORAL JOSEPH PINCHES . The parish of Yarpole is lamenting the death of Corporal J. Pinches who fell on the battle- field on January 30th , dying in an ambulance wagon of his severe wounds . Widespread sym- pathy is felt with his family , residing at Ceckgate Farm . Corporal Pinches enlisted in the South Wales Borderers and proved him- self to be a good and efficient soldier , as his record shows At a memorial service held in True Economy It is to your advantage to Yarpole Church on Sunday last the Vicar place your orders for clothes ( Rev. T. W. Ward ) referred to the sad event as follows : We are again lamenting the loss well ahead of your require . of cne who went from this parish to fight for his country on the battlefields of France . Let ments . me speak of him for a moment , for we all knew him well . He was a good son , never causing his parents a moment's anxiety on ac- count of his course in life , he was a thought- fut and helpful brother , and was friendly with 3 REASONS . I. Prices are advancing rapidly , us all . When he recognised that his country only of Cloth but of Linings and the many needed his services he joined up of his own free - will , and he is the fifth on our Roll of sundries used in the making of Clothes , II .

And I feel sure that our friend did so , from what I know , of him and from the messages he sent home . It is trust alone in the blood of Jesus Christ that cleanses . from all sin . No works of our own can do it . Nothing but the precious blood of Christ can cleanse us before God and gain us accep- tance with Him . In the words of the hymn Not the labours of my hands Can fulfil Thy laws demands , Could my zeal no respite know , Could my tears for ever , flow , All for sin could not atone , Thou must save , and Thou alone . products with lower grade wools and mixtures - therefore new goods although more expensive are inferior . III . Labour being scarce makes it difficult to cope with orders in the busy . season so promptly as usual , obviously , early orders secure best attention . False Economy So that the fact that a man has laid down his life for his country will never take him to Heaven . God will not accept any man on ac- count of any sacrifice he may have made . He will only accept him on account of Christ's sacrifice . Love of country , beautiful as it is , It will be to your disadvantage to put cannot blot out even one sin , but the blood of Christ cleanses from all .
