is essential for our national well-being. Lastly our self interest as Jains makes it as evident as it is urgent that we as a community stand to continue to prosper even to exist, under the ages of British supremacy over the unlet. tered forces that be supressed by law and government and that but for this check, can make only for anarchy, insecurity and chaos. As followers of Lord mahavira the greatest and most uncompromising apostle of Peace and harmlessness, it behoves us all every Jain man or woman to be prepared to help the cause of the Empire with body, mind and spirit. Jainas can volunteer their services as members of the Ambulance Corps; they can raise Subscriptions for the war funds, for the distressed by the war, they can offer or supply provisions and in various other ways can do their duty as citizens and Jainas in the tremendous crisis which has enveloped the Empire.

Law makes it their duty to do their level best, individually and collectively, to support and help the Empire. Anyone can be rightly proud of being a member of the great British Empire. National interests demand the preservation of British Connection with India: the political evolution. and schooling of the Indian democracy has barely begun and its continuance

The veteran Secretary and founder of the Mahasabha of course we mean Deputy Champat Rai of Cawnpore was the first to leave us after a long illness.
