ENROLLED AMONG THE CHAMPIONS THE KILLED AT THE DARDANELLES

THE SACRIFICE WAS WORTH WHILE {Times and Sydney Sun Services.) (Received June 18, 8 a.m.) LONDON, 17th June. (At the memorial service in St. Paul's Cathedral for tho Australian and New ( Zealand soldiers killed at the Dardanelles, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in his sermon, added: — "We want, as Christians, to say together that we honestly and deliberately believe that these fearful penis, these wounded, stricken bodies of our best and bravest, these saddened hearts and darkened homes, are worth while. If they are worth while they are a right offering. Terrible as it is, it ought to be made without reserve in the cause of truth and honour among the peoples of Europe. It is a duty, grave, v inspiring, urgent. Theirs is the real heroism of the stricken home, as great as the heroism of the shell-swept trench and the quivering deck. For these brave women of England and the Southern Seas wo, upon our knees, are thanking God for all comfort. But we want another note ; we must have a note of triumph for those whose self-sacrifice has meant so much for the country. It has been theirs in enthusiastic, eager self-surrender to reach what Christ marks as the higheßt grade of human love. When the call rang out the response was ready, and tho results are before us. All those Australians and New Zealanders are enrolled among the champions whom the Empire for generations to come will delight to honour. This memorable act of stoutest service gives response already to the rallying call." J
