In this connection 1 am voicing the sentiments of this Council when I say we are under many obligations fur coniiueiicatioii and Ihankiigiving to a kind I'loviilence for these many bles-sinys, and also f ,!• the conduct of our nation and our fellow subjects, particularly of which I iiieiition : 1st --The wurkl wide Ui.stiiicliyii which ha.s been brought about Hy the i^allant deed.s of our brave soldiers ou I he Frfince and Flanders. '.'ndâ€" The expressed determination of cur subjects to stand by our b .ys at the fiouu, yea, even to ilia last man and last dollar. 3rdâ€" -The continued generous sukscriptions to the Red Cross and i'atriotic fuud^, and the loyal response to I he reipicst f'..r the purclueu; of Victory Houds. I trust and feel sure thai the ye^r upon which We have entered wili«ee the end of the iloheuaolleru and the iron heel of militarism replaced by a astiug peace, un.slaiiicd and uiidauntid by the auto- cratic demands of a dea^jolic ruler. And wh'lc wo congratu'aic ourselves, let us remeuiber that when we consider our circumstances and our position, not s single sacritice has been made, save and e.tcept by those who have t'iven their husbaiids, their luothers and thoir sons, to tight fur thu cause of libciiy. These are ulrenuou* timeN for tha immediate fi lends of our boys, on the other hand the maj.jrily are living in the midst of prosperity and know no sacritice whatever.
