A STIPRING ADDRESS.
As reported yesterday the principal relebration in connection with the anniversary of Arinistice Day was so inipressive service at St John's

It is bringing in what the Son of Man called the Kingdom of God: and if this in to be done, you must somehow touch the infinite in man's nature. Bringing gold standard to a normal level again is not enough.
