In our last issue we gave the roll of honour of Harryville Presbyterian Church, Ballymena, setting forth the names of the young men belonging to that congregation who had responded to the call of King and country. This week we append the roll of honour of High Kirk, Ballymena, the pastorate of which is now vacant through the call of Rev. John M'Quitty to Dumbarton, Scotland. From this list it will be seen that the young manhood who claim allegiance to the High Kirk, have made a noble response. At least three of them -- Sergeant W. Black, and Lance-Corporal R. Black, both of the Highland Light Infantry, and Private Jerry Black, Connaught Rangers (three, brothers, whose home is at Dunfane, Ballygarvey, Ballymena), have already paid the price of their patriotism, the first-named having been killed in action, and the other two were wounded some time ago. We append in each instance the full name, home address, regiment or ship:--
