THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
1m i* Kit IA I. CrriZKXSHIl 1 . “The war gave very glorious proof that the peoples of the Empire possess as grandly as ever did their fathers the will that can rise to the sublimesL heights of heroism and of endurance when they are aroused by a clear cn.ulenge of their conscience and their plain sense, lint have all of them the other will, not less indispensable, to make the small daily and quite unostentatious sacrifices to the common weal which the stability and the future security of an Empire such as ours remorselessly demands ? Are they ready to put the Empire and the doctrines on which it rests before all lesser, all less sacred, aims? Can they live for these things, as they have known to die for them The Empire cannot stand still • it must develop or it must lall hack, and which path it will take depends, as no such choice has on the unfettered choice of the masses of its citizens. That will is sovereign and because it is the sovereign guardian of so great a trust, the duty of informing and guiding it aright is the gravest and most responsible that can fall upon the shoulders of statesmen or of thinkers.” —“The Times” (London).
