He declared that they came to perform a solemn duty. Their sentiments on such a + resolution ‘‘must be sung by the music of the soul.” On many oc- casions before they had signified their ‘adhesion to. the British flag. They had many a time sat around the festive board and sung ‘‘God Save the Queen”; tonight they were there to act ‘God Save,the Queen"; to write the history of their country with blood, if necessary. He spoke of the nobility of patriotism and quoted Scott's lines: ‘‘Lives there aman with soul so dead," etc. Those words should be written on the walls of every classroom in the empire. He dwelt on national dis- honor as worse than the loss of limb or life. Great Britain stood in splendid isolation because she was still di for the principl for which she had contended from the Magna Charta to Catholic eman- cipation, and she was surrounded by Europe in armed ‘neutrality. The doctor delivered a fervent eulogy of British liberty, which brought the audience to its feet with a thunder of cheering. Every drop of British blood that is spilled in Africa will sanctify the.soil, and from it will spring the flowers of peace, freedom and happiness.

Furthermore,that copies of all these resolutions be forwarded to the colonial secretary and Lord Strathcona.” 7 WiThe resolution was carried by a rising. vote with the singing of “Red, White and Blue” and three cheers. At the suggestion of the mayor, in which Captain Foria heartily concurred, Dr. Sinclair seconding him, the following were appointed a committee totake charge of the various funds raised for patriotic purposes: W. J. Nelson, Hon. T. Mayne Daly, Alderman Dean, F. W. Rolt, E. W. Warde, Alexander Sharp, W. T. Oliver,Mayor-Good- eve and C. O. Lalonde, these to ap- point a lady member.
