He is representative of English nationality and cohesiveness-he in the bond which unites. English men throughout the Empire, and indeed throughout the world.

His Majesty our King, whose recovery from his recent Illness has brought so much joy to his subjects, bears the birth-name "George," after our Patron Saint.

So much for the history of St. George and what he means to England and to Englishmen, but there is something more—it is on St. George's Day that the thoughts of Englishmen, wherever they are, return to their native land, and there is no one who does not ask himself in his heart what it is that England stands for. And there comes into one's mind wonder na to what England may stand for in the minds of genera- tions to come, if our country goes on during the next generation as she has done in the last two, in converting her fields into
