And ready for the call.

And all the sons of man that's born,
George left this house of clay below
To be with God in Heaven above.

Only believe and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee.

ULSTER MILITARY NEWS.
CHAPLIN SEVERELY WOUNDED.
HIS LEFT ARM AMPUTATED.
NUMEROUS BELFAST CASUALTIES.
The many friends in the North of Ireland of Captain Rev. David S. Corkey, Presbyterian chaplain to the forces, will regret to learn that he was severely wounded last Monday and is now in hospital. Captain Corkey is attached to a battalion of the Royal Scots, and was on duty at the regimental dressing station when he was hit on the left arm by shrapnel. The arm was so seriously shattered that it had to be ampuated, and, according to the latest reports, Mr. Corkey is progressing favourably.
The wounded chaplain is one of eight sons of the late Rev. Joseph Corkey, M.A., LL.D., Glendermott, who entered the Presbyterian ministry. He was for a considerable period assistant to Rev. Henry Montgomery, D.D., Shankill Road Mission, and in 1911 received a call to Dundrod (Co. Antrim) Presbyterian Church, where he was ordained on 20th February, 1911. He laboured there until May, 1915, when he was appointed chaplain to the forces for one year, and proceeded to France, where he rendered splendid service to the troops, been mentioned by Sir John French in his dispatch of 15th October, his name appearing in the list on New Year's Day. He was wounded last year, but the injury was not serious. Mr. Corkey's period of service expired on the 1st inst., but he felt that he could not leave the army, where the opportunities for service were so great, and his congregation kindly extended his leave. During his residence in Belfast the rev. gentleman was a member of Malone Rugby Football Club, and had the honour of playing for his province. He is a brother of Rev. William Corkey (Townsend Street Church, Belfast), Rev. Robert Corkey (Monaghan), Rev. John Corky (Dunloy), Rev. Joseph Corkey (Duns), Rev. Vernon A. Corkey (Culnady), Rev. James Corkey (America), and the late Rev. Alexander Corkey, who died in the States sometime ago.
