Future Security Wholly ROUND THE
Dependent On Victory For Freedom
ANNUAL MEETING OF ST. JOHN'S CATHEDRAL: DEAN'S REVIEW
"I do not intend to speak of the political situation in general, but only as it is affecting the life of our community. Our prayers and thanks and gratitude have been for our friends in England who have shouldered such grave responsibilities with high courage. Many of us realise quite clearly that our future security is wholly dependent on the victory for freedom, and the derisive forces in that victory depend tremendously on the freedom loving peoples of England and America," said the VERY REV. J. L. WILSON, Dean of St. John's Cathedral, at the annual meeting of Electors at the Cathedral Hall yesterday,
L. Forster, Mr. S. W. P. Perry and Misa Atkins.
