I remember a talk 1 haU i in the North of Prance some forty years ago. 1 was talking with a Proncliman and lie .said • The people of England have given themselves up to moncy-makiiig and if ever an emergonej ari-ses vour country will he found wanting. I told him then that i believed the iK'ople of England were tho tsimo then as ever tliej have been throughout tlieir history and that if any necessity ever arose the iK*opIe wouia rally to the supi>ort of their ilag. History will record how nobly th.at was done


late war—will record how from every little place and every largo town and eit\- in the country, the llower of tlie inanliood ol Lnglaml rallied to tho colours. On the rolls to be unveiled this' afternoon appear tlie names ot iliose members of the club who went anti came home, and glad wo are th.at so Were sp:.red, after tlie risks and liarcbhips ;ind dangers of war, to return. But there is
