CANADA'S FUTURE

Canada stands at the beginning, of
a new era in this Year of Peace,
1919. A page of her history has
closed; a period' of progress, and an
unexampled period of bitter struggle
against the powers of darkness.
In looking over the years of con-
flict, Canada has the satisfaction of
seeing a mighty task brought to a
triumphant conclusion. There is al-
ways a supreme satisfaction in com-
pleting apiece of work, in being able
to say "That is done, and well done."
We are proud to remember that
Canada did not falter for an instant
when came the call to arms. She had
vision, Her duty was clear. She
threw all' the power of her sturdy
young nation into the task. Small
though that power tnight•be,in com-
parison with the giant whole, it was
her best, and it helped mightily in
attainifng the objective. By her war
effort Canada has earnecl an honor-
able place among the nations of the
earth.
But this task has been completed
at a tremendous cost. Much has been
said of the price paid in blood and
in money. It is indeed stupendous.
The spiritual cost of the war, too,
weighs upon the heart of every
thoughtful Canadian. We have paid
an .unutterable price in •the loss 'of
brains that were born to think, souls
that were made to dream, and lips
that were fashioned to sing.
7n looking to Canada's future, we
thank God and take courage when
We note that, on the other bend, the
war has awakened .0 •.great many
minds to thoughtfulness, taught a
multitude of souls the magic secret
•of weaving the fabric ofdreams, and

During the upheaval many a Cam

Never again will our horizon be
bounded by the hills of our own
neighborhood, We , are citizens of
the world. '
It is, however, upon the children
of to -day •that chiefly rests the mak-
ing of Canada's future. Bays and
girls of teen-age occupy a unique po-
sition at the present time. Too soon
will they be thrust into the world of
affairs to take the place of their
elder brothers lost in war. Never
before have parents and teachers
needed greater wisdom, , There is
need of educating a sitaltilized judg,
merit which alone can solve the com-
plicated problems that our boys and
girls have to deal with almost at
once. The citizen of the future must
be endued with the spirit of service.
He must carry or in peace as his
elder brother carried on in war. He
must inake Canada the abiding place
of justice and of freedom, and above
all, the home of the Christian religion.
'That is his objective. Joy and a true
peace will come with the-attainynent,

and in two minutes they had ru
out of the yard, down the hill an
across the pasture to the edge of th
woods,
`Oh, what fun!" Elsie panted a
they reached the spot. "It's like
fairy tale."
She danced with impatience whil
her brother climbed the trunlc of- tit
tree. The hollow was only abou
• loet above the ground, and h
had often climbed to it and tried t
surprise the squirrels that used it fo
home, .
"Tell me what you find!" Rlsi
cried,
Glenn reached into the hollow an
drew something out. t`it's a funny
looking old envelope," he said. II
scrambled down in a. great hurry.
They bent their heads over th
yellow old envelope. "Ye Meppe o
ye Hyddone Treasure," Glenn rea
aloud. There it,was again: "Bidde
Ti easiire!" And Grandfather lta
calved them treasure hunters. Thing
began to look still more mysterious
Glenn ripped open the envelop
and drew out a folded paper: H
spread it on a broad, flat rock unde
the oak, and they got down on thei
knees to examine it, There was,
rough drawing that looked like
map, and in the cornet of the paper
were some words, printed crookedly
The printing said:.
If you would find ye berried tress

The children could not make much
sense of the map, so they turned al
their attention to the writing, 'Let'
see,"='said Glen. "It says, "Whet
the shadow is shortest.' "
''-Elsie clapped her hands. ''Tho
will be when the sun is highest!" she
cried.
"Good for . you," said her brother
"Of course it -will." He felt a little
ashamed that she should have thought
of it first,
They were so Hutch excited that
they could not stop to wonder what
t all meant. But they agreed to tell
o one the strange secret until they
tad followed out the directicns.
By this time tho sun was high, and

lay some distance over in the pasture.
Elsie stood on the -placetto mark it,
while Glenn, eonselting the eempass,
measured off ten yards due north. At
the end of the ten yards he looked
eagerly for the rock. His face fell.
"There isn't a sign of a rock here!"
'Ire said in a disappointed tone; but
he marked the•spot with' a stake and
came back to look at the map, They
were both SO impatient that they
could not bear the thought of a hitch
in their plans.
'iltaybe it meant to say,due south,"
Elsie suggested; but there was no
rock thirty feet toward the south,
either.
`Tait a moment!" tGlenn cried. "It
says in the ground! I know h5w to
go ahead now."
He hurried to the house and came
racing back with a spade. The dirt
was soon flying wildly. After two
minutes of digging, the spade grated
on something. 'Here's our rock!"'
s Glenn cried.
en • After that, matters went more
smoothly. When the boy had
measured off seven yards due east
with his tape, there, sure enough,
was a fence post, A big "X" was
faintly but, distinctly marked on the
south side of the post,.
The explorers studied their com-
pass carefully for north by west, and
when they had sighted the post cor-
rectly they saw three trees in litre.
Things were beginning to be exciting
now, sure enough. By the time Glenn
had measured two yards due north
from the centre tree and then one*'
yard due west his hands were
trembling. As for Elsie, she could
do nothing but hop up and down,
"Now what?" they said, when they
had tome to the end of the directions.
"You shall be rewarded," they read
again; with puzzled faces. But there
was no sign of a reward anywhere;
only a stretch of smooth sand at the
edge of the woods.
"Maybe we are to dig again," said
Glenn.
Elsie eagerly offered to do her
share, and between them they dug a
deep hole in the sand, but still no
treasure carte to light. They decided
d to stop for ten minutes.
Elsie took the first turn, when they
s began again„ and the third time she
' stuck the spade into the ground it
a struck something hard. Glenn seized,
e the spade with a tvitoop, "We've near -
✓ ly got it!"
It did not take him long after that
a' to finish the jet). rhe edge of an
� iron -bound box soon slno-r; ed through
the dirt; a little later a handle came
• into view. Then, as Elsie pulled at
the handle and Glenn pried with the
spade, the box loosened. All at once
el Elsie staggered backward with the
,1 box in hor hands,
It was en old battered box with a
rusty hasp that was held together
n with a wire. The children tiigge:l at
e, the wire breathlessly. It came loose
s, at last, and they lifted the licl of the
s • box. Inside lay an oblong package
y; wrapped in old paper. When they
a had torn off the paper they found to
