THE QUESTION.

What have you done for your Country? How have you answered the call? Are you pleased with the part you’re playing In the job that demands us all? Have you changed the tweed for the khaki To serve with the rank and file, As your comrades are gladly serving, Or isn’t it worth the while? Can you meet the eyes of your follows. Or have you to turn away When they talk of the stay-at-home slacker Have you never a word to say? When you read the roll of honour Of living and dead —what then? Does the voice within approve yon As one to I>e ranked with men? For if in our Island’s glory Each soldier may claim his share. So he who would shirk his duty, _ His burden of shame must bear. You who are strong and active, You who are fit for the fray. What have you done for England? Ask of your heart to-day. Anon. (From the London "Daily Chronicle.’)
