AT LIONS MEETING ' 'Justice. courtesy and valour are the backbone of the English people, Dr. In P. D. Hurford told members of the Lions Club in a St. George's day ad- dress at the club's' meeting Monday night, Dr. John A. Gorwill was chair- man of the meeting. The war savings . certificate draw was won by Dr. M. W. Stapleton. Dur- ing the meeting excellent solos were contributed by D. L. Reid and Presi- dellt James A. Stewart. Ladies' night will be observed at the next -meeting, Lion J. F. Daly told the club. A report of the Lions par- ticipation in the observation of the Beavers' championship was given by Lion W. J. Duncan. Dr. Hurford took for. his sulbject "St. George and , England." He told of - the philosophy of, the Cockney who ex- pressed li easel& in the words, "What 1' say is: Life, ain't all yer want, but it's all yer 'ave. Then •'ave it. Stick a geranium ' in yer 'at and be 'appy." England had put troops into Greece in order to keep her word to the Greek people. and knew that the force *as not strong enough to hold the 'country. She had even weakened herr position in Nord" Africa to do this. It would not do to take too many troops from England,. Shipping is scare, he said. The Anglos. who conquered Britain had as the basis of their' society the free necked man who had never bow- ed his ' neek to an overlord. The speaker then told the story of St.' George and the dragon. He said 'that Hitler bad thought the British' were deteriorating -the Germans preferred .guns to butter. - The English ideal In education puts first the arts, literature, history, paint- ing, sculpture, architecture in order to teach youth to. appreciate the finer things. The chief aim is development of character. There are so many fogs today which areenticing youth away.teem. 'sermons:sturdy. `The educs-. 'tion we need is one that is essential- ly Christian. Dr.. Hurford . then dealt with :three things which the 'English people stress: (1) Justice -what is right. This arises from the fact that -the British have been a religious people. They demand rightness in conduct towards! all; • (2) .Courtesy -This re- sults in good manners and• is based on the ,consideration- of other's. it frowns on coarseness in word or deed. (3) Valour -This is exemplified in the Elizabethan seamen like Francis Drake, in Nelson at Trafalgar, in Dunkirk. in .the way the 'people of • the old land "eau take it" .today. The winning of this war • depends. upon the sacrifice, the valour,. the ef= feet, and the prayers of -all British- ers. If we hold. back we lose; if We do our best and .be' our best, with the help of God, wei shall win. • 'Father T. P. Hussey' expressed the. appreciation.
