sole duty it was in life to keep the light burn
ing.
In Rome, the preservation of the fire was
given a sacred character; a temple was built
for the SERVICE and those who were set apart
to feed the flame were consecrated as to a
religious duty.
Pure young women were chosen as guardian
angels of the sacred fire, and if one of these
Vestal Virgins lost her own purity, or let the
light in the temple go out, the penalty was
death.
Within the temple, night and day, winter
and summer year in and year out, the Vestal
Virgin watched her sacred fame. Roman
eagles might be flying to the uttermost ends of
the EARTH Roman legions might be camping
on the distant Rhine, or chasing Picts and
Scots to the Grampian Hills, or forming lines
Of battle upon the Euphrates-but in the tenn
pie, at Rome, would be found the eternal fire,
with the Vestals feeding it, night and day.
If the light went out in the house Of any
Roman-rich or poor, country or town-he
was not left in darkness. Straightway he be-

Our people did not come here because they
were paid to come; they did not look upon

as a vacation No! They disregarded their

And now they are going back to the trenches
again. But they are carrying with them that
spirit of God-given confidence, of uttermost self

newed for the struggle, faithful unto death,
they will carry on the work as never before.

there was never a fear of universal darkness,

that Vestals might come and Vestals co. but

Oh, my countrymen Each of us is a temple,
within each of us was lit the sacred fire,

The Spirit and the Promise Of the Contention

"The tumult and the shouting dies;
The Captains and the kings depart;
Still lives Thine ancient sacrifice"
Thrilling through the great Convention last
week must have been the spirit of Kipling's
wonderful, heartsearching song; for, beneath
the outbursts of enthusiastically all words
of love and loyalty which sprang to lips pale
with a splendid purpose, was the soul of the
Ironsides. The crowds we're instinct with deep
feeling. It was indeed the life of the very
life; stuff of the very stuff" SO palpable was
the strong spiritual fervor manifested that he
was truly of coarse fibre who did not feel

his better nature-the unexpressed essence of
a music in harmony with some mighty cause.

the uneering, but never at all would these have
