THE SOUL OF ENGLAND
• It is on this conception of nobility ! that is based their instinctive solidarity whch leads them to translate common j interest into common action; and it is the same conception which, in the hour of peril, peril, transforms the English spirit from its relative indifference into amiability, full of attention and sympathy, for at such a time it knows how to unite in rendering service to the common weal. And the same spirit unifies and shapes into harmony the | English soul throughout the British j Empire, and led its Sovereign, recently, j as on past occasions of peril in the life jof the Empire, to address Parliament ■ with an appeal to God Almighty that jHe shall bless the common mission. 1 These people are a pattern. Happy the j nations that understand these truths | and out of them obtain support for , their own progress.—(“O Jornal do I Commercio,” Rio de Janeiro, SeptemI ber, 1940.)
