THE LION OF ANDROCLES loi 



Truly the lion carries for our race much of the " white 

 man's burden " as it speaks to us in one and the same 

 breath of royal power and perfect freedom, of unshrinking 

 courage and absolute magnanimity, of the equality of 

 Heaven's sun and rain, which it symbolises, and of that 

 reverence for the helpless and the innocent which legend 

 assigns to it always.
