FUNERAL OF MR . GEORGE PROBERT . A wide circle of friends and acquaintances will regret the passing away of Mr. George Probert , of The Hundred , Kimbolton . The deceased gentleman was held in great esteem by all who knew him . Prior to his retire- ment three years ago he carried on business as a farmer , in which capacity he enjoyed a reputation for honesty and uprightness . For many years he was associated with the Primi- tive Methodist Church , being largely instru- mental in the building of the Hundred Chapel , for which he generously gave the land , con- tinuing to act as Society Steward until the time of his death . DEPARTURE OF MR . H. PALLOT . PRESENTATIONS . The departure of Mr. H. Pallot , second mas ter at Leominster Grammar School , upon an appointment to a post at Lincoln Grammar School , took place this week . The regret at the severance of his associations with the town were expressed by suitable presentations . On Sunday morning the Boy Scouts paraded to church as a farewell to their Scoutmaster . The band were afterwards photographed in order that a framed copy may be given to Mr. Pallot in token of the good work he has done for the Scout movement in Leominster . On Tuesday a presentation on behalf of the Scouts took place at their room . Councillor was supported by The funeral took place on Tuesday after - John Watkins , a staunch supporter of the noon at The Hundred Primitive Methodist movement , presided , and Burial Ground . The Rev. H. S. Millward , Mr. H. E. Crimp , Mr. R. H. Harding , Mr. R. W. Thomas ( Hon . Secretary ) , Mr. W. G. Bisson , Mr. C. Harris ( bandmaster ) , and a large attendance of Scouts . Apologies for ab- sence were received from the Mayor , and Mr. T. D. Burlton . who officiated , gave a brief address , in the course of which he paid a high tribute to the worth and character of Mr. Probert , remark- ing that the deceased gentleman was a man who stood loyal to his convictions at all costs . He courted no man's favours and he feared no man's frown . He was a man of direct speech , but he spoke from honest conviction and meant what he said . His only enemies were those who did not like the unpalatable truth . Primitive Methodism loses a staunch and loyal supporter and for many years to come he will be greatly missed . CORRESPONDENCE .

INTERESTING LECTURE AT LEOMINSTER : The work of the Friends ' Ambulance Unit , which has not so far met with the apprecia tion it deserves , was described in a most in- teresting manner at a lantern lecture at the Friends ' Meeting House on Wednesday even- ing . The lecturers were Mr. Ernest Jones war which was lacking in the photographs . veyed an idea of the effects of Councillor Hubert Reynolds presided over a large attendance and in his opening remarks of the gave some interesting particulars Corps . Describing the manner in which the Unit came into being he said that one of the chief tenets of Friends was their belief in peace and they believed that ultimately ther would have a world peace , when things would be settled more by arbitration than by the hellish way of war . When war was declared Germany there was amongst Friends a very divided opinion as to whether they were right or wrong There were many Friends who felt that they as a nation could not have stopped out of it , that they had obligations to Friends at once volunteered for the Army and Belgium which they must keep . A good many fought and died as officers and men in the cause that they believed was right and just .
