THE GREAT QUESTION. -There is one question which will hammer at all our hearts for many It is a question the years to come. dead themselves might ask-Have we died in vain! What answer we can give will depend on what superstrucKING
ture we can build on foundations that have been cemented in their blood..
It will be hard work to prove to the world that those deaths have not been in vain, for there is no toil like that of trying to mend things, of trying to make the world better and happier.
