RECOGNITION OF MERITORIOUS SERVICE.
(To the Editor). Sir, —Since the very first public function connected with the war, Hastings has teen conspicuously fortunate in the possession of gentlemen endowed with splendid aptitude for organisation, and the successful carrying out generally of these peoples’ services. One need not specially refer to the Anzac services, which I am sure are always a benediction to us all- The unveiling of the Cenotaph on Sunday was equally impressive and sacred. The committee deserves our sincerest thanks, and especial recognition is due to Mr. G Ebbett for his superb address. As ar extempore deliverance, which it obviously was, it was a masterpiece, and as oratory a classic, and forcibly suggests that we possess in him one whose destiny (unless that Divinity which shapes our ends is thwarted in design) is a place in the highest councils of our land. It is no disparagement to submit that Mr. Ebbett is not doing his duty to his country. Your reporter also is worthy of our highest admiration in making possible a wider dissemination, verbatim, of a speech so fine and appealing.—Yours humbly, J. T. FAWCETT. ' 13/11/23.
