Nugent, took as the theme of his address, the quotation, "I have walked, I have talked with the living sacrifice."" The speaker interâ€" spersed his address with many witty stories, but all during hiqg speech never lost the text. "If you have a living religion it is bound to cost you someâ€" thing" was one statement of the speak â€" er, and another which made strong appeal to the audience was:â€" "If we love our country and our fighting men who are giving themselves as the livâ€" ing sacrifice, we must buy Victory Bonds to the hilt." The padre gave several examples of bravery and heroâ€" ism of which he had witnessed and at the close told of aâ€"crew of a corvette and the hardships they had underâ€" gone â€" "I have walked, I have talked, with the living sacrifice. I am sure our answer is in providing the needs to "Speed the Victory." 2 Sections 12 Pages "These words are as true today as they were in 1914 when written. The blonde beast has the greater part of Europe and the illegitimate sons of heaven the greater part of Asia. We have a big job ahead but with the buying of Victory Bonds the job of Speeding the Victory will hasten the freeing of thnese occupied countries." "We are only lending our money to buy a share in Canada‘s future," Capt. Stewart declared. The rally came to a close with Lieut.
