VICE-ADMIRAL SIR LIONEL HALSEY says:- I have never seen the "Arethusa "excelled."

¶ For many little ones life's journey started prosperously and then the unexpected happened.

A father's strength, a mother's love, and the security of home life were everything to the child when suddenly they were gone.

¶ The failure in health, fortune, and sometimes in character, of those in whom they trusted, left the children exposed to unforeseen perils and perplexities.

¶Your gift will help the Children's Home to find a new security for thousands of these little ones within the charmed triangle of health, home and happiness.

BONDS OF EMPIRE

are needed more than ever before in these days of Selfishness and Strife.
Train the characters of the Empire's Youth and they will form the surest
Ponds of Empire any nation can have. Scouting is providing a Brother-

hood for four hundred and a half thousand
British Boys, binding them together with
the one aim of "Service." Last year
thirteen thousand Scouts from every
part of the Empire camped together at
Wembley, and through mutual
good will and understanding
formed lasting bonds. Lack of
money is crippling the Move-
ment from development.

Please help us to forge
these Bonds of Empire by
sending a subscription
or donation to the
Honorary Treasurer.
