"In 1914 the call was sudden and unexpected, but loyally answered. They understood the absolute" -inviol- able dependance upon the King in the army, so they were bound to- gether and held together indissolu- bly whether as God's wills, were they to have peace or storm, life or death." "The majority of those who enlis- ted have disappeared from our eyes but their memory lives with who came back bearing in their soul and body, scars and wounds as con- crete proofs of their loyalty." . "Could the laws of gratitude and forgetfulness allow wus to forget those who laid down their lives to restore peace to the world?" "Ag soldiers of Christ, ani accor- ding to the word of the text, we tPo have to fight the good fight Let the example of the soldiers teach us loyalty and faith- fulness in. all the duties of our state. We have to fight a triple en- emy, the world, the devil and the . flesh." An impressive scene was that when the President of the Dryden Branch, read 'the Honor Roll.
