have headed the government better
than Lloyd George" Arthur. J. Bal
four declared in his speech before the
City Carlton Club here today.
"We must not weaken the govern
ment at this time by attempting to
restore prematurely the two party
system.
Balfour S speech has been anticipat
ed rs definite announcement that Lloyd
George was determined not to resign at
the present time.
';The country s best interests" con
tinued Balfour. ''have been and can be
served by the coalition" He added,
however, that he would remain a mem
Der of the unionist party for the rest
of his life.
Balfour s speech was glowing trib-
ute to Lloyd George. He insisted that
the treaty establishing the Irish free
state will ameliorate conditions in Ire
land.
At Lloyd s, where they lay odds
against everything from raindrops to
revolutions, the betting is ) % to
against the premier resigning during

involved case which the court has
decided are as follows:
The law under which the district
Is organized Is a valid law and the
district is regularly organized.
The contract entered into between
the district with Lewis and Clark,
engineers, was valid at the time it
was made.
The special assessment of so cents
the acre, levied In 1920. is valid and
constitutes u lien on the land, the
court rules
The contract of January 4, 1921
between the irrigation district and
the engineering firm was beyond the
power of the board to make.
Warrants up to the amount of
$20,0 900 for the services of lewis and
Clark should be paid. The court
finds that the testimony does not in
dicate just what sum in excess of this
amount the engineering firm is en-
titled to receive but indicates that
this payment may be adjusted be-
tween the district and the engineers,
failing which the engineers have the
right to bring action in court to have

the topic being. "The New Signifi-
canoe of Memorial Day.")
Ex. 12:14-"This day shall be unto
you for memorial" This text tefer-
ring to the aPssover shows a memo-
rial by way of the shedding of life
blood. Likewise the Lords supper is
memorial coming from the giving of
life blood. In similar sense. this
Memorial Day is implanted in the
shedding of the life blood of our ne
roes.
A memorial serves to bring the past
down to the present and merge 1t into
our hearts. To me. the most effec-
tive illustration of this is in a pa
triot,c way is the painting entitled
1.-THE Spirit of '76." The two-fold
significance of this day is to COM
our heroes and to instill in
us the sense of responsibility to car
ry on" the work they so nobly ad-
vanced. This two-fold meaning is in
dicated in Lncoln's Gettysburg speech
and in the poem, I'm Flanders Fields
The new significance of Memorial
Day is found in the challenge which 1t
presents This challenge rests on a
great fact--the fact 'of battle. For
the Belgians,. Liege, -Louvain and
Rheims; for the French, the Marne
and Verdun where the soul of France
said, "They shall not pass; for the
British, Ypres, st. Quentin and Vimy
Ridge; for the Americans Chauteau
Thierry, Belleau Wood, st. Mihiel an
the Argonne, together with San Juan
Hill Manila Bay, Antietam, Cold
Harbor and Getty7burg-from these
comes the challenge to us to carry
on"
This challenge finds its real signif-
icance in growing consciousness of
I God. This feeling was expressed by
Edith Cavell the English nurse who
was shot to death by the German
forces, in her final words: standing
! as | do / nview of God and eternity,
realize that patriotism is not enough"
In fact, Germany had patriotism, but
lacked q consciousness of God. Bless
ed is the natio nwhose God is the
lord" This consciousness makes us
conscious of the blessings Of peace
and helps in establishing real Chris
tian patriotism.
