"Though ivo are in the midst of an awful and troublous time, is it not worth while?" said Jfr. C. J. Parr, M.P., in addressing the Thames jubilee gathering. "What if we, with tho old Thames spirit had tc put our necks benoath Die heel of the German Emperor? It is unthinkable for any free man. and particularly for any man with tho spirit of the old Thames in his blood. AYo are fighting so that our children anil our grandchildren may live in peaco; we are fighting for civilisation; for religious faith, for justice, for our homes, our wives, our sisters, anil all we hold mast dear. And thero is no more Tcsnliite spirit in the war 10-day than tho spirit of Iho sons of the Thames."
