SPEAKS AT SEAFORTH LIONS CLUB Meimlbeiw of the Seaforth Lions Club observed Ste George's Day at their regular meeting Monday even- ing in the Gonatisocdai Hotel, when Dr. R. P. D. Hurford spoke on the significance of the day. Lion C. M- Smith -presided and he was assisted in the preparation of the program by Lison. Harry Stewart. Lion IL G. 'Meir expressed the apprecia- tion of the members for Dr. Hurford's address,. 'The speaker said, in part: "England's patron Saint, George the Martyr, was born` about 285 A.D. in Cappadoeio. HIS parents became OAhristiaus and consequently his fa- ther was martyred. George became a soldier and was renowned for his bravery. He is seid to have rebuked the Emperor Drocieiian for persecut- ing the Christians, Many fables arose regarding George, the chief being that of St. George and, the Dragon. This monster had his abode in a pond near the town of Silene in Libya. As it was about to devour the king's daugh- ter, George rode along and destroyed the dragdm. No doubt this fable sym- bolizes the fact that George Champion- ed •the church (the king's daughter) against evil. At the time of the Crusades, St. George is said to have appealed to Richard Coeur-de-Lio-n before Acreb and, thus his soldiers were inspired, to defeat the Saracens an that occasion. In time St. George's banner was borne before English kings as they rode to battle, with the rallying cry, "St. George." In 1222 St. George's Day (April 23rd), was made a holy day. The white ensign with -the -(red) cross of St. George made ite 'appearance in the thirteenth century and is now the bsclograun4 of the Union Jack, made up, as it is, of St. George's, St. Pat - nick's and St. Andrew's cross, In, the next century the famous Order of the Ke.ights of St. George (or the Blue Gant'er) was instituted. Still later St. George's Chapel, Windsor, was erect- ed as the official sanctuary or the Or- der. The companions of this, order are given a badge, a figure of the Saint on horseback (cail'ed a 'George') attached to a ribbon so as to be hung from the neck-. St. George stood for chivalry, faithfulness, and courage, anti has been the ideal bald up before Engiishmren, for manly years. The speaker went an to discuss the Englishman and his characteristics. He pointed out that society in Eng- land may be said to be divided into three main classes, the aristocracy, the middle ()lase' and the workers. The aristocracy being generally landed gentry, have taken a great interest in the welfare of their tenants and ern- ployees and have set a splendid, ex- ample to the people as a whol'e. The middle classes, the business people, have been 'spoken of as the backbone of the country. The workers are ex- pected to stay in their position, though occasionally men from their rank have achieved greatness'. The Englishman is noted for has re- serve, although this does net apply so march to the working class. Peo- ple must be .properly introduced be- fore they can exeba.mge pleasantries.
