ST. GEORGE’S SPIRIT
WANTED TO-DAY.
LONDON, April 24.
“Never was there greater need for the spirit of St. George than to-day,” declarekl Prebendary Gough at St. George’s Day service at Wellington Barracks.* “St. George,” he said, “stood for a musculine religion in a world where there were still dragons. He was not afraid of feminine influence in politics, but of the feminine man who served the dragon because he praised weakness, condoned idleness, applauded the vigorous qualities of other - nations and thought it irreligious to praise them in his own. “The feminine man always believes that his country is wrong. He would make unemployment a flourishing industry and complacently enter into a trade agreement and diplomatic relations with a country which he knows is avowedly trying to undermine our position throughout the world. Only one thing will deliver the world from the evils that oppress it —the spirit of England responding to the call of St. George.”
