The London newspapers made a feature of Australia Day to-day. publishing long special articles on Australia's 133 years of progress and kindred topics. The Rev. Arthur West organised a service at St. Dunstan's in the East. The interior of the church was decorated with Australian flags and wattle, and the congregation consisted mostly of Australians. The preacher, the Rev. W. K. Lowther Clarke, took as his text Psalm xlv., 17: "I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations; therefore shall fhe people praise thee for ever and ever." These words, he said, were illustrative t>f the expansion of the British Empire. He referred to Australia's need for more population, and said that the Church in Australia was establishing machinery to deal with a population twenty times greater than to-day's.
