A SPECIAL SERVICE was conducted a St. Matthew's Church on Monday evening, by the Rev. Father Coman, chaplain to a battalion of the King's Royal Rifles, which has attracted many local lads to its colours during the last few weeks' fighting. Father Coman has been on active service for twelve months, and he has won the military medal. A large congregation gathered to hear him preach.
