In reply to a letter from the Ross Traders ' Association , pointing out that complaints had been made by resi- dents about the condition of the path from the Prince of Wales corner to the Church , the Urban Council state that at present there exists no grounds for complaint . PURE HOME - MADE BREAD delivered daily to all parts of the town . E. H. SOLES , 17 , Gloucester - road , Ross . - Advt . The Speaker took as the basis of his re- marks two pictures from the Old Testament . The first was in the time of Moses , when during the . journey from Egypt they were attacked by the Amalekites , and Moses sent Joshua against the enemy , and he himself ' " sun , and Israel prevailed against Amolek . The other picture represented the prophet Elisha surrounded by the army of the King of Syria , so that his servant exclaimed in despair , Alas , Master , how shall we do ? " The prophet , however , prayed to God that he would open the young man's eyes that he might see , and he saw that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha . The lessons which the speaker drew from these pictures were that just as the Israelites were opposed by enemies whom they were commanded by God to destroy . so we in the journey of life were opposed hy the powers of evil , which strove to take pos- session of us body and soul ; that like Moses of old we must hold up our hands in prayer to God , from whom alone we could derive help , and strength for the conflict ; that further . if our spiritual eyes were open , if our faith was not so dim and clouded , we should see around us the army of God ready to help us , and should realise that those that be with us are more than those that be with them , that the forces of good , that is of God our side , and that these were stronger than the former powers of evil . In were on conclusion , the speaker made some reference THE CHEVALIER IS COMING ! -A visit by the to the war .

Mr. Worsey explains to simple country peo- ple the moral issues which the war has raised , the call to service and sacrifice , faith and prayer , which Churchmen must obey .

Unfor nately owing to different causes there wa considerable difference of opinion which sh ed itself outside the meeting of the B Society . But he hoped the day might s -come when all Christian people would be united outside as well as in the interior u which they elieved all Christian people joyed . That was one of the greatest rea why they should all do their best to sup this society . Many of them prayed for day , and which in God's time would brought about ( applause ) . The Rev. EW . E.
