there, come irresistibly to my mind:

AT ST. JOHN'S CATHEDRAL. St. John's Cathedral was filled to over-flowing. All seats were taken; as many as could find room stood in the space behind the seats; scores of others stood at the open doors,; in the rain that filtered in beneath the arches. A moment: before 11 o'clock the service stopped and the Cathedral became quiet, those in the seats remaining on their knees, those in the back and outside the doors standing with bowed heads. The sound of the gun reverberated through the air, and immediately the stillaess deepened. From the con gregation itself rot a sound could be heard. Only, from the outside, came the soft rustling of the rain

the leaves of

and trees the swishing of the broom of a coolie, somewhere sweeping down a walk. Two minutes passed. Then from down the hill came the strains of a military band, playing "Rule Britan tie," and a slight stir went through the congregation. Presently the Bishop started speaking.

Following is the Bishop's address :--- St. Johr. XII. 24-25. Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die it abideth by itself alone, but if it die it beareth much fruit. He that loveth his life loseth it and he that hateth his life in this world shall save it unto life eternal

This is a very sacred moment for us all. Wherever throughout the world the flag of Britian is unfurled, and among our Allies too, men and wamer-aye, and little children are joining this day an act of solemn remembrance and of dedication.
