EX-ACTIVE SERVICE MEN'S ASSOCIATION.

ANNUAL ARMISTICE DINNER HELD LAST NIGHT.

INTERESTING SPEECHES.

There were fully 200 present, including members and guests, at the annual Armistice Dinner of the Ex-Active(Service Men's Association, held at Volunteer Headquarters last night. The ball was tastefully decorated with flags and the tables attractively` laid with Flanders' poppies for each member of the large as- si sembly.

Several appropriate speeches were delivered, all bearing on the fine co-operation of the Services and the bonds of fellowship and unity formed during the long drawn out, agony of the Great War and the need for a continuance of this fellowship to ensure the the peace and well-being of a strong and waited Empire.

The function proved most successful and enjoyable, with a fine evidence of camaraderie and good fellowship.

Fellowships Of The War. The fellowship formed during the war was different from any fellowship which existed in the British Empire. It was the pri vilege of associations like tha *E.AS.M.A." to keep alive and strengthen that fellowship and see that it should never die. To many of them the war was the greatest event of their lives and Armistice Day was landmark of that long drawn out agony. It was woll that they should join together once each year and commemorate that duj commemorate it with prayer and with thanksgiving-prayer for the. future, of lessons learned and thanksgiving for the mercies of the past and for the Armistice Day that brought the war to a close.

It was emblematic of Armistice Day that they had the Last Post" sounded at the commemoration service and "Reville" sounded later to mark the dawn, which that Armistice Day heralded.
