"God Save
The King"
What is the particular significance
of our National anthem? Is it mere
nationalism and that, perhaps, -of a
selfish or even aggressive and mili-
tant :type? By no means,. The , Na-
tional Anthem is a prayer sung - as a
hymn. It is the prayer of "a people
who acknowledge God. .and express
their faith in His .-providence. Thiel
anthem concerns whom? "Why, the
King," you. reply. This is true, but
the King in the British Umpire is
more; than a wean; he, is a symbol.
The King represents the pe'op1e, re-
presents the'nation.. He l§ the first
citizen of the -Empire and Lae symbol
of 111 for which -the Empire stands.
1n singing this hymn we do pray for'
the King personally, but more we
pray for the King as representing the
People and Empire of which she is the
symbol. When. the french cry, "Vive
la France," and the Britieh, "Long
Live the King" or "God. Soave the
King," they wish much the same thing
for their respective empires. Every
Christian man., therefore; will be
ready to pray that the King and Em-
pire, so long as t'h:e nation is Chris-
tian in spirit and purpose, may be.
victorious, happy, glorious and icing
!ce titinue to exist. There hem) reason
to think of th,e National Anther.). as
a barrack room song •of bloodthirsty,
warriors. It Is a Christian prayer for
the safety of Kfng and people; for
the safety of our homes, our freedoms
and our religion. And let Christian
people reclogriize the ireeportai t part
they have to play in building Up the
spirit and ideals of this great Empire.
IP they do not wish the Empire to
perish, then they must not fail in
their task. Thus we pray, -"God Save
the King," ?or the Ring is the symbol
of the Empire„ end of 'all tit'at it
means to us—(Oontr;ibuted by

'Ve give an extract from a letter
received by e Red Cross worker in
Toronto from an Officer in. Engiand
in charge of a hostel for the care of
SOO children evacuated from Gibral-
tar; -
"1 mist tell yeti that the clothes
we get for the children, sent by the
Canadian Red. Cross, are simply mar-
vellous—lovely and warm and just .
what the children heed. The jerseys
and the little girls- flannel dresses
are really lovely; they are such pre&•
ty colors and so well made. Do tell
any of your friends who are working
for the Red Cross how welcome their
help is, and! with winter coming on
we can't have too many warn? undies
and, things, both for the refugee chil-
dren and our own bombed children
who lose every single thing they've
got when their homes are blown up. •
I can't tell you what a joy it is to
be able to fit tem out properly, It -
i, alwayik a thrill for us when We
get a new batch of clothing, and 1
only wish siome of the people who -
have made the things could See how
appreciated they are." •
