"There will always be*an *England."-Rudyard Kipling. Shakespeare wrote that the heel of the conqueror would never reach the throat of Britain, and that even though three-fourths of the world turned against her, she,would prevail.

But the writer who has done and is still doing more for the strengthening of the British morale t-han any other was Rudyard Kipling, who died in 1936.

Can anyone who has watched England make her immortal fights for life during the recent generations have any doubt that Kipling playe*d a*trenchant part in the drama?

His songs, his flaming words of patriotism go marching on, inspiring Englishmen in every walk of life to live that England may live, and die that E*ngland may NOT die.

If it be true that "there will always be an England," then the spirit, the inspiration of Rudyard Kipling must share largely in the credit for that immortality.

For in atl the sufi".irr]" tfi"t Jrrgt"rrd has so heroically met'and overcome in the last few decades, the undying words of Kipling have never failed or ceased to be a heartstrengthening infuence.

Surely the Almighty touched Kipling with the inefraceable brush of genius and made him immortal even before he died; and makes his shadow loom larger with the passing of the years. What an infuence !

As long as Britain li.r"l, ""*lorrj as tt e English tongue is spoken, the writings of Kipling will remain deeply-indelibly-imprinted in the minds of free men, and particularly loyal Britishers.

A thousand years hence, when the passing of Kipling's own soul has been long forgotten, men will sit with lumps in their throats as they listen to that lusty song about t'Danny Deever."

Will "Mulvaney" ever die? He who had been a corporal once but was "rejuced"? Will "the Colonel's lady" and 'Judy O'Grady" ever cease to be of a great sisterhood?

NOW YOU KNOW-

If you have been wondering why Mondays are so tough on commuting and wrong irumbers, now you know:

A netv California trade magazine says, "IIere's what happens EVERY MONDAY MORNING in CaliIornla:

"10,000 new faces are added to our population;

"165 new classrooms are opened for 5,000 new students:'

"6,500 motor vehicles are added to our highways;

"4,500 new telephones are hooked up, and

"4,000 new homes are built."

Fabulous. isn't it?

Will the time ever come when the pathetic devotion to duty of that "Lazarooshian leather Gunga Din" will cease to be a solace to the souls of men?

Will Britain ever """J" aJ "prlrrg to attention at those timeless lvq1ds-"Lord God of hosts be with us yet, lest we forget-lest we tot*"|'t

Just as certainly as there will always be an England, just that certainly there will be a Kipling, living in the hearts of men who love freedom.

But it remained for a Scotch writer to pay the British master compliments. Sir Walter Scott, in the introduction to his wonderful, poetic book, "The Lady of the Lake," wrote this:

"The generous compassion which the English-more than any other nation:.feel for the misfortunes of an honorable foe'" can you imagine "rry J tnJ aictators, old or new, feeling compassion for the misfortunes of an honorable foe?

There is praise indeed ! Compassion is a Christlike characteristic at any time and in any breast. But the compassion that finds expression in the hearts of warriors for an honorable foe deserves the praise of men and angels alike. Sir Walter could have sounded no higher praise for the English and, coming from a Scot, it is high tribute indeed.
