This week we give the roll of honour of All Saints' R.C. Church, Ballymena, the clergymen in connection with which are, Very Rev. Thomas O'Donnell, P.P., V.F.; Rev. J. J. M'Glave, C.C., and Rev. J. M'Leister, C.C. Although not numerically as strong as some of the town churches, the response from the congregation of All Saints' takes a creditable place in the numbers of adherents on active service. Though there is no official roll of honour in connection with the congregation, we have been supplied with the following list of those connected with the church who are in the service of King and country, and this shows that the response has been very good. One, at least, on the roll of honour has already paid the price of his patriotism, and several others have been wounded whilst doing their duty in the noble cause for which the Allies are fighting. We append, as far as possible, the full name, home address, regiment, or ship:--
