BRITISHERS AND SELFSACRIFICE.
The eminent physician, Sir Victor Horsley, in addressing a crowded audience at Whitfield’s Tabernacle one Sunday afternoon on “The Making of the Nation,’’ said that the moral principle which lay at the bottom of the prosperity of the British Empire was self-sacrifice ; and that now, at this critical period of the country’s history, was the quality specially demanded of citizens. Self-sacrifice, he went on, should begin at home ; and the greatest legislative act of any Government for many years past was the granting of old age pensions, which helped to preserve the home. From the point of view of the individual and of the children, in the making of the Nation, Sir Victor thought total abstinence stood first as a salient point in home self-sacrifice and home education.
