The Jubilee Report of St. George's Benevolent Society forms a pivotal epoch in the historical records of the Society, and calls for brief Retrospect. On the i8th April, 1843, the St. George's Benevolent Society of the Town of Hamilton was orcfanized, and embodies in Constitution and By-laws two of the noblest and highest sentiments of the human mind — Loyr / to Queen and Country and Love and Charity to the Brotherhood of Suffering Humanity. The Society has passed through seasons of cloud and depression, as well as times of sunshine and success, but on the whole, recorded minutes tell of a long career of prosperity. The Roll of Past Presidents, Office Bearers and Members, so many of whom have passed on to the silent land, bears names which are interwoven in the professional, mercantile, commercial, educational and philantliropic rise and "growth of the City of Hamilton. Settled by J. E. Loyalists and British Colonists, Hamilton soon, under the plucts., energy and determination of her sterling founders, became distinguished as the Gore District. The feeble hamlet spread soon into a village, the village into a thriving town, and now in this year of Grace, 1893, ranks as a Royal Princess City in the great Dominion of Canada. • Irf J Oil the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Society, honourable remembrance is due to the memory of one of its most venerated members, the late Captain Zealand, who served under the immortal Nelson at the taking of Copenhagen, and on duty under Sir John Moore at Corunna. In 1812 he again upheld the honor of the flag he loved so well in repelling the attacks of the invaders of Canada at Oswego, Sackett's Harbor and Ogdensburg. Again in 1837, when rebellion stalked through the land, he was one of tho.'-. who sent to swift destruction the piratical steamer Caroline over the Falls of Niagara. Again in 1866, when in hii 74th year, we find \i[— standing watch and guard in this city against Fenian incursion. ^i From its inception, St. George's Society "rejoiced" as well as "wept," with the sister societies of St. Patrick and St. /vndrew, and enjoyed fraternal celebrations at different periods with the Sons of St. George of Philadelphia, Petersburg, Virginia, United States, Toronto, Guclph, Barrie, King.ston, St. Catharines, London and Brantford. The same spirit of unity and brotherly love towards suffering humanity identifies the St. George's Benevolent Society of to-diiy with the a.ssociated charities of our city, though as far back as 1848 recorded minutes register of a "desire on the part of the Council to relieve distress in Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland and also the propriety of contributing ^o the undies' Benevolent Society of the town." The Guerdon of the benediction of the stranger within our gates, the ^irk the poor, the widow and the orphan has been gained durinc; the past fifty years by the Society, which has thus crystallizi . into living action the type set forth in the legend of the Patron Saint of England and her .sons, wherever hey may be found, as slaying the great Dragon of Evil, with its pestiferous influences of sin, sorrow, sickness, poverty, hunj^er and distress, through the might and power of Christian Armour of Light Truth and Love. What nation has .so well embodied into daily life, individually and nationally, the virtues and examples of her patron saints as the great empire of Britain ? England shines on the page of history as the righter of grievous wrongs, emancipator of shackled slavery and the peace-maker of an angry world. to the memory of ider the immortal ^orunna. In 1812 of the invaders of through the land, he Niagara. Again in ncursion. 3cieties of St. Patrici< orge of Philadelphia, and Brantford. The enevolcnt Society of gistcr of a " desire on ^Iso the propriety of of the stranger within years by the Society, aint of England and rous influences of sin, an Armour of Light and examples of her 2 righter of grievous Wherever floats the Union Jack, emblem of the trinity of her three patron saints, George, Andrew and Patrick, floats the signal of Greatness, Virtue, Prowess and Power. Under such inspiration the true sons of England, Scotland and Ireland still slay the dragons of slavery, injustice and wrongs. " Know and do; victory or death," the battle cries. Action swift on the heels of words. Where such patron Saints ? Where such mistress and followers ? " By this sign I conquer," saith the saint, and still by virtue of the Christain cross, the dragons of cold, disease vice, and intemperance, wherever met, arc not only slain, but Christian burial given the victims. Yet not without cost is all this done. It is for the sake of " sweete charitic" that the St. George's Benevolent Society of this city, in the first bi-centennial year of its existence, asks for generous assistance and support. For alas !
