Their words of sympathy will be retold many many times, Did our Sovereign and his Queen need to leave their ,place of abode to go out to see all the destruction and to view the agony of ' their subjects? No, they did it out of love .and sympathy for those who were passing through such trials. Did our King need to go to the battle fields, thereby risking ,his life in order that he might show to his officers and troops that his heart was with them as they fought for the freedom of the commonwealth over which he ruled? No, he did not but still he went. A lady was- telling recently that her grandson had sent home word that the King and Queen had talked to hint for about twenty minutes. 'even sent His only beloved son into the world to die for us that we might share Eternal life with Him. Do we want that memory of Jesus Christ or • do *e want to forget all that and serve so as to make our Eternal home with his adveresary the devil? Some one recently was speaking. of the joy of Christ coming again. How happy many will be to see Him. Those who are ,christians will be glad to see Him come but there are many Christians who .in spite of all they can say or do have dear ones who are not :ready for His. coming. Is that a' pleasant thing to recall?: 'Will we not strive harder to bring nbt only' our own but others to the Osie who has done so much for us. At the present time we have the memory of those who have gone away' or are in Canada prepared to answer the 'call to defend their The circumstances of the talk were homes and their country.
