Honour the Brave.

A most impressive memorial service was conducted at the Moonee Ponds Methodist Church, Gladstone street, last Sunday evening, by the Rev. T. S. B. Woodfull. The service was in memory of Pte. Carlyle Ormond Ryan (Lewis Machine Gun), 60th Battalion, aged 26 years and 7 months, reported died of wounds, 5th April, and Spr. Leonard Lindsay Basham, aged 19 years and 7 months, killed in action in France, 26th April. The Wattle Club, of which Spr. Basham was a member, turned out in honour of their comrade and occupied the first six rows in the congregation. Special hymns were sung, and prayers offered by the preacher, who delivered a war sermon. Two letters were also read from Pte. Carl Ryan's diary. Few eyes were dry when the organ rendered the Dead March, and the Moonee Ponds Methodist Boy Scouts, under Scout Master C. Stevens played the Last Post. The Sacrament was held at the close of the service.
