A NOTABLE SEQUENCE
A passage in Lord Willingdon’s address at Stowe Speech Day provokes interesting reflections. “ Saying my prayers night and morning,” he told the boys, “ has been of enormous help to me in public and private difficulties.” No one can doubt that Lord Willingdon’s predecessor as Viceroy, Lord Halifax, would say—probably often has said—the same thing. And I have turned up a half-remembered passage in the inaugural address of the present Viceroy, Lord Linlithgow. “ I will devote my mind, my heart, and such health as Providence may vouchsafe to me,” he said, “ to the service of your country. For this I ask you to remember me in your prayers.” A notable sequence—in the Havelock tradition.— “ Janus,” in the ‘ Spectator.’
