Hold the torch of belief;
Through the long hours of care;
Thick with doubt and despair,'
When the brambless and thorns
Tear your flesh and the scorns
Of the thoughtless attack,
And ment stab you in the back—
Stand fast to your faith,
Do not stoop to disgrace;
To the dangers that wait
Journey head high and straight,
And fall if you must,
But go down to the dust,
Clinging still to the truth
Which was taught in your youth—
Stand fast to your faith
Stand fast to your faith.
Tis your armor of might
As you dare to be right;
Tis your strength for the bow
That is struck by your foe,
Your counsel and guide,
When yotir soul's being tried.

Iu the special order issued to the -
Canadian troops on March 27, 1918,
General Sir Arthur Currie wrote:
"To those who will fall I say, 'You
will not the but step into immortality
---Soni• inimes will he revered forever
and ever by your grateful country,
and Gud will take you unto Hiru-
eelf,"
The pledge thus given is being
faithfully fulfilled in relation to em-
ployees of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Company by the placing of
bronze memorial tablets at over a
score of its principal offices and
stations. Furthermore two imposing
bronze statuary groups have been de-
signed for the great C.P.R. Stations
at .Montreal. and Winnipeg to stand
forever as tribute to the heroism and
self-sacrifice of C,P.R, men who died
in the cause of freedom. Far-flung
and scattered are their graves, but
single was their spirit and their
Ideal, the service of their country,
Out of 11,302 employees who were
reported as ,joining the .Forces, 1,090,
or nearly ten per cent paid the su-
preme sacrifice, These came from
every rank of the company, from
every department, and they served
by air, laud and sea—faithful unto
death.
The bronze tablet, replicas of
which will be placed at the pr7nei2al
railway centime In each province of
Canada, and also in London, Liver-
pool and the-Orleut, has been do -
signed by Mr, Archibald Pearce, of
the Chief .Engttteor's Department of
the company, and is being engraved
at Worcnsteralrire, England, by the
Bromsgrove Guild and Applied Arts.
The tablet depicts au advancing army
of infantry, calvalry, artillery, sup-
plies, munittons, tanks end railway
transport flanked on either side by a
warship and a C,P.O.S, liner with
aeroplanes flying overhead. Iir'itan-
uta calls with outstretched .hands to
the' Overseas Dominions and points
'tut the road to death and glory, while
underneath is a scroll with the list
of the chief battles 1n which the C.
P.R. men fell. The inscription com-
memorates:
"'Those in the Service of the Cana-
dian Pacific Railway Company who
