C/U of him speaking: "It has come here to represent another impulse of the great effort which Canada is making in these months and years of storm and fame. The end may be far off, we cannot tell, that depends upon the enemy. How long he will resist we cannot tell. How long that wicked man will torture and afflict the nations how often or in what direction he will set his murder machine in motion we cannot tell. One thing we are sure, either he will be, he and his villainous crew, will be delivered to the doom and the shame which is their due. And that we ourselves shall have the honour of having had something to do with that".
