Let us pause for a moment to let those old 'well-worn words sink down into our minds. A great thrill of pride passes through our beings as we real- ize their full meaning. Canada, this. 'beautiful, bountiful land, stretching from ocean to cceau and ranking high in the great .nations of the world, is ours. We are Canadians. We were born in. Canada and are proud of at. for what after al lis better than to be a Canadian, free and unpamperad as the waves of the ocean, liviug amid all the grandeur and beauty which our country provides for its people. And indeed we are not vainly, un- duly proud of our Dominion. She is naturally both rich and beautiful. Many and varied are the lYFIcs penned in her praise by admiring Canadians who have been fired with enthusiasm by her magnificent scenery. Her thriving cities speak more than words can tell of her prosperity. A brief sketch gives an idea of her vast na- tural resources. To the north Is her great timber area. Thes splendid for- ests standing so silent and powerful against the sky contain millions of dol- lars worth of lumber. The broad sweeping rivers in their rush to the oceau provide waterpower unequalled anywhere else In the world. Her roll- ing plains are lovely and productive. Her fertile prairies with their fields of waving wheat,the silent growth of the food of millions contains a stirring romance as well as a great dividend In dollars and cents. The Rcickies, the faire of whose grandeur has spread all over the world, hidden embedded within their layers of ageless wealth untold. Such is our Dominion. Why should we not be proud of her? Viewing the Past. But it is only when we look back in- to the peat that we fully realize how Canada has advanced. A few hundred years ago our now peaceful and highly civilized country was almost a jungle in whose depths wild animals prowled, and uninhabited by humane save by the different trlbee of savage Redmen who painted their bodies with red ochre and warred on one another, hunted, fished, and did a little prime; i tive farming. Then came the paleface 'explorers and their advent marked a anew day in the history of Canada and ! the Indian. Gone forever was their ' i free, unquestioned sovereignty and is its place they found their right usurp- ed by the white men, who laid their hands on everything, claiming It for I themselves and their country, It was inevitable the Iridian must go, but not without a struggle. Desperately they MISS BESSIE E. GRIFFIN. fought for their old time supremacy. Horrible massacres ,ensued, chilling thee hearts of the surviving settlers, but at last the degrading firewater of the fur -traders •and the oppression of the white men had their effect. They wandered further afield and the.eet- tlere came in and took their places. Still their presence lett its mark. Many of the large cities of to -day hia•ve in- dian names and it was from the Indian nano Kannata, ineaning a co'll'ection of huts, that the beautiful name Can- ada was derived. Under British Rule. But the real change did not come until 1763, with the capture of Quebec, when Canada changed from French to British rule, and to these brave sol- diers and their leader, Waite, we owe a great deal. It it had not been for them perhaps we would never have had a Dominion of Canada. .They opened the door for those who were to follow. With the war in the United States came the United Flmpiro Loyalists, brave, loyal British subjects who en- dured untold hardships that they might remain true to the British flag. How heroically they battled the perils of a new Country- We who live in this. day of comfort know very little. Were they not worthy ancestors of the great warriors, statesmen and philosophers who were to follow and guideour coun- try safely through the troubled waters. of racial bitterness, inevitable in the history of any prosperous nation. A Period of Progress. We will this year be celebrating Che sixtieth anniversary of our Dominion; sixty years since one of the greatest feats in history in the minds of Cana diens was accomplished by the Fathers of Confederation, far sighted men, who caught vdslons• of that which we have lived to realize, a great, throbbing, united nation, and staked their all to attain it. But while e -e rejoloe, let us not forget the struggles, and disap- pointments, the worry, toil and dis- 1ouragements involved and be proud and thankful that we can boast of such noble meat, who through their wisdom and devotion brought about that which will remain, in Canadian history, 'im- mortal throughout ala the ages. „ Glorious Our Future. And now that we have reviewed the past, let us look into the future. What is to be the crowning destiny of Can- ada. hall the noble efforts of our pre- decessors be in vain. She has tre- mendous possibilities, and in our hands lies the making of her future. Shall it be undying, worthy to be cherished by the generation& -to come. Canada has hatl'a great east, is having a great present, and will. have what promises to he a greater future. She is young and has accomplished much, and how much more she will accampiish is not for us, who. can neither tonne or tor - tell the future, to say. We must leave it to the guidance of the Great .Father, who so far hos been with as, and who, we humbly pray, will continue to be through the ensuing years.

These -True Stories Show How Giant Concerns Can Grow From Small Beginnirngs. There is a story behiee many of the greatest modern businesses, Take Lever Brothers, founded by the late Lord Leverhulme, who died two years ago. This- great business man started lite in his 'father's grocer's shop ha Bolton. While still in the early twen- ties, he embarked 'on a venture of his own—also In the grocery; line—at Winan. After bhilding up this es- tabiislrment into a very flourishing concern, he sold out. Just before this he had bought a small soap factory at Warrington. He now threw himself into this, and spent a great pant of the ;noney he had got for his ;grocery business on experi- ments in soap. The result was a household soap which would last and not turn rancid. Hem ie pert, at least, of the secret of the Lever success --courage to strike out in a new line and to spend lavishly to secure an end. The name hie gave the soap—"Sunlight'=was another hint of -the young man's quality.

A good story is told of Cecil Rhodes, the maker at modern South Africa. When he and his brother, Colonel 'Frank Rhodes, were young, they -did net Have too much money or too ex- tensive wardrobes. So one day, when Cecil wanted to attend an evening function -in London, he had to ask Frank to lend him a ghimt, Frank refused—he wanted the shirt himself that 'evening. And knowing Cecil, he watched h'Inr. He saw him oft en the train, and tools particular note of the fact that he was not wear- ing the shirt and had no luggage with ,hint. This seemed good enough, but when Frank went to grit the thirst it had disappeared. When Cecil came back his brother asked him how he -had manager to get away with the garment. "I put it on under the old one," was the reply. Telling the story to a friend, Colonel Rhodes added: "That's Cecil!" It does illustrate the' resource, the "never -stip -die" spirit that helped to build Cecil Rhodes' fortune, as they have helped to build so many ethane. There is, however, the element of Male How far does it count in the making of great wealth? Andrew Carnegie has related how, w'h'eat a railway employee, he was rite-. ing on a locomotive, and 'dropped a Large sumof money—the wages of a great many railwaymen—beside , a stream. If it had fallen into the stream, he added., it would have taken him many years to wipe out his care- lessness. "I .could• go straight to the spot to- day," •said corn'egita, many years later, "and often as I passed, over that lute afterwards I never failed to see the light brown papkage lying an the bank. It seemed to be calling: 'All right, my boy! The good gods are with you, but cl'ou't do it again!'" Creating New Wealth A case in wiricll luok was the bo- ginu!ng of a huge fortune was that of Senor Simon Patina, supposed to be the r•Iohest South American. A quarter of 'a century ago he was a salesman employed by a Bolivian company. They tent him to collect a 00 debt. Finding the cloister unable to pay, Senor - Patina accepted a :deed giving the title to a piece of land. This tical seemel-wcrtiiiess to the company, and Patina was dischaa'ged. So be kept the deed: Tin.was found on the land, and Senor Patino'is now supposed to be warth some £303;000,- 000 Canes like this are, of co•uree, very exceptional. Mostly courage, ceergy, resourcefulness, initiative count far more than luck las fortune -building. There is artather thing that counts service: If you. want to help your- self to' a fortune, you've, fust got to help the world to something else -- something that 1t either hasn't got at all, es' that you can give it in a new way, and better than other people. That is why Mr. John D. Rockefeller ones said that the ambitious should strike oat on new lines rather than travel the "worn paths of accepted mists::."
