EMPIRE DAY SERVICES
SCHOOLCHILDREN GATHER TO
SERMONS IN CATHEDRALS
HEAR
In accordance with the traditional part that children have come to play in Empire Day obscrvances, special services for their benefit were held yesterday at St. John's Cathedral and the Catholic Cathedral.
Hundreds of children from schools, Boy Scouts and Girl Guides attended the services at which sermons with loyalty to the Empire as their theme were preached.
At St. John's Cathedral, Rev, A: P. Rose conducted the service, while the Lessons were read by Rev. D. M. Richards. The preacher was Rev. J. R. Higgs, Vicar of St. Andrew's Church, who delivered a striking discourse on the ideals of Empire-
Liberty, Progress, Service and Peace.
