Bishop Williams' Message.
Concentratiou on the two aspects -of
faith, prayer and work, is urged by
Bishop David Williams, bishop of the
diocese. of Huron, in his Lenten pec-
toral, which was read in the Church.
After a reference to the termination of
the war, the pastoral continues:
"But.now let int not make the mistake
of thinking that all is over when the
war is ended, Now we have to realize
personally in peace the high moral
standard of loyalty to God which our
empire took as its ideal in the war.
the empire's high decision invests the
oitiaens with a new dignity, It is a
trumpet call to tee citizens to live
worthy of that high decision,
"We have now to apply the lesson to
ourselves in our personal life, In s
far as the lesson applies to us person-
ally, the point of it is that in the em-
pire's policy we were Id to put moral
and spiritual ideals above material self.
interest. If it was worth while to
risk the existence of the whole British
Empire and to sacrifice thousands of
lives to establish the supremacy of
right, then right is more valuable than
life, if the choice has to be made by
anyone between adhering to right and
eactifice of life, then right must be
chosen. The" great lesson for as to
learn practically is that, by the exam-
ple of our empire, moral qualities are
more valuable than life. Truth, justice
fidelty and honor were to the empire
more to be desired than life, That is
the lesson we now need to learn in
our personal lives: It is better to die
than to be false, better to die than re-
fuse to ehampiot the weak, better to `•
die than to choose material prefit he -
