HeOras made his attempt in a ter-mile handicap, which was won by H. James, of Edin- bargh, with three Ispa and 350 Jarda start, 49 minutes, 14 3-5 seconds.

PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS:

ΙΣ

And when you give it, give absolutely

all that you can spare, and don't consider yourself liberal in the giving. If you give with self-adulation, you are not giving

at all, you are giving to your own vanity: but if you give until it hurts, then

- your heart-blood goes into it,”

T has been said that St. Andrew's Society is allocating too much of the War Bond Drawing receipta to War Charities. Just think for a minute of the War and not of the Drawing; think of the tragedy beyond words which is being enacted on the battle front; think of the vast relief organisation and the money that is needed to uphold it and think of your own duty in the matter. No, we are not giving too much; we are not giving enough.
