AT JOHNSONVILLE

'Addressing the gathering at tho Johnson-yiHe service, the Rev. A. K. Hunt said that the most worthy tribute, the only tribute really worthy of those who fell at Gallipoli and on other fronts, that could be offered was tho emulation of their spirit, and the determination to perpetuate such a spirit in the. life and service of to-day; to provo to those who fell that the spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice they displayed did not die with them, but lived still in the Ijves of. the men and women of to-day. One should say to these heroes of" the past: "You have nobly done your part; we will do ours. The sacred cause you died for, we will live for; the torch you lit, we will never allow to go ouj; the standard you raised so high, we will never allow to be trailed in the dust; tho worl: you hay« laid down, we vill take up; as you were true to the living, so vre will be true to our noble dead." "That," the speaker concluded, "is the most fitting memorial we can offer to such immortal memories. And, if we do that, then, when the great reveille sounds, and we answer to the call, we shall know, that Heaven itself

shall hear the Great Commander say of us, what we to-day say of the men of Anzae, 'Well done, good and faithful!' May that be said of every one of. us."
