each from the following breeders of
Hallett :—Mr. Thornton 'Wallace,
Mr. John Mason, Mr. Fred Youno-

But there is yet another dark and
lowerinoc'aspect of the perilous/
times. We have been enjoying the
glad and joyous festival of Christ-'
mas. But remember that in many
a desolate family it is an anniver-
sary of blighted hopes and heart-
rending sorrow;. for it brings back
vividly the' Memories of the brave
and gallant hearts who laid down
Weit• 'v'u for their country, and
and whose.' blood erimsoned the
snows at Batocho, Fish Creek, Cut
Knife and the banks of the Saskat-
chewan. There are vacant seats
around the Christmas table never to
be filled again by the joyous pre-
sence of those who were the pride
of the households. There are tears
in many eyes dimming the Christ-
mas rejoicings. Fathers, mothers,
sisters, brothers mourning for the
lost ones, like Rachael of old, "be-
eallSO they are not." Last spring I
stood by a long row of the graves of
trees and. under the shadow of the
quaint old Cathedral of St. John,
on the banks of the Red R-iver.

The signs •of the night aro fearful
and ominous ; we have an enemy
who never seeps, and the most
valued institutions of onr grand
Dominion are in peril. The flag of
our country bears upon its emblazon -
'Bents a lion. It is the ensign of
Judah and the blessing of Judah,
which was the sceptre of power and
dominion over her enemies. And
now the qiiestion lies beforo us and
must be answered : shall we give up
that glorious banner of the royal
lion, and choose the mean banner
awl the moan blessing of 'anchor,
a blessing more like a curse, "to be
an ass crouching between two bur-
dens, for he saw that rest was good,
and the land was pleasant, RO he
bowed his shonlders to the yoke and
