Flattery is an ensaring quality ::'IInd leaves a very dangerous impreezioan.
IIt swells a man's imagination, and his head as well; it entertains his vanity.
and drives him to a doting upon his own person.
Some communities get so full of ego and become so puffed up from "soft
soap" and blarney, handed out by individuals who usually have an axe to
grind, that the residents think theirs is the essence of perfection.
"Stuck up" communities are as bad as "stuck up" people. They get so
cocksure of themselves that they are blind as a bat to everybody's imperfec-
tions but their own.
When a community gets to the point that all it is interested in is con-
versation about its own wonderfulness, that community is due to a fall.
It is a serious mistake to court only the society of those who please. It
doesn't always pay to choose friends altogether from those who flatter. The
ones who are truthful will be of real benefit, for tliey will tell you the truth
--things you ought to know.
The truth often hurts, and there are some who are not big enough to take
it. Such people are small minded, they wince at the pain, get sore, sulk
and pout, overlooking the fact that the real test of qualities for permanent
success is ability to gain by criticism. The man who seeks to better him-
self accepts constructive criticism as such; he offers no alibis and doesn't
try to "crawfish."
Yours is a good town—no question about that. It has many fine features,
many attractions, a multitude of good, hardworking boosters, in fact, it's
an even chance that your community has advantages that, because you are
so familiar with them, you lose sight of, under -estimate and fail to appreci-
ate. But it is the things that repel that retard the progress those things
that invite will take care of themselves.

CANADA'S PEACE TOWER
Who's Who! What's What, and Why?
(By F. G. Neelin, Seaforth, Ont.)
Dear Expositor : Visitors to the
Capital City are agreeably impressed
with the Canadian House of Commons
Chamber, the seating arrangement
and accoustic properties of which are
complete in every respect. The Mace,
a massive staff surmounted with a
crown, the gift of the British Govern-
ment, is made of solid gold and cost
in construction $35,000. It is the
emblem of parliamentary authority
and rests on a table opposite the chair
of the Speaker of the House. The
seating and other appointments of
the Senate Chamber largely resembles
the •Commons Chamber. Its royal
purple furnishings are certainly elab-
orate and tend to give comfort to the
aged legislators. They deserve it.
The Governor -General's chair charms
visitors, and world war scenic pic-
tures embelish the ceiling and walls,
which are explained to ;visitors by the
House attendants.
The Peace Tower gives to the Par-
liament Building architectural charm
and historically it is entitled to first
place in Canadian admiration. Copious
notes were taken by your correspond-
ent when visiting the tower, but they
seem meagre in comparison with the
descriptive address delivered by Mrs.
Charles H. Thorburn, at a meeting of
the Ottawa Women's Canadian Club,
and the readers of The Expositor are
indebted for quotations to this em-
inent lecturer's facile descriptive
ability. However, our description
throughout the written recital will
maintain the viewpoint of a Canadian
visitor.
The Memorial Gallery, featuring
what may be patriotically termed
"Canada's Book of Remembrance," is
easy of approach from the first gal-
lery overlooking the main entrance of
the Houses of Parliament with the
beautiful Central Column, which sup-
ports the structure. Two sets of
wrought iron gates guard t h e
entrance. On either side of the first
gates are two stone lions ram,•...nt,
one with the dragon of war on the
shield, and the other with the dove of
peace, the sword of sacrifice being in
the background. Over the door on
the outer side carved in stone, are
the words: "The humble beasts that
served and died" --the Reindeer, Mule,
Horse, Dog, Pigeons, Birds, Rats and
Mice. The birds, rats and mice were
called the tumeller's friends for they
were used to detect gas before the
men entered. Carved on the inner
arch over the door are the words:
"All's well, for over there among his
peers a happy warrior sleeps." Sus-
pended in the doorway is the Mother's
Cross of Sacrifice, enlarged, while
above on the wall are two female
figures, one representing the Angel of
Peace and the other Motherhood, a
woman with two children.
Everything in the room is symbolic,
the details baffling description. It
would require many visits and hours
of study to appreciate the numerous
distinctive emblems, the sequence in
their arrangement and the care taken
rnn the associations connected with
each separate picture. But we may
participate as we enter this shrine in
the call to remembrance• of our glor-
ious dead and breath something of
i .a Inspiration of the Beauty, the
Courage and Patriotism depicted
there, and we can read: `crow free
men throughout Vale land kept faith
in the hour of trial and in the day of
battle, remembering the traditions
they had .been taught, counting life
nothing without liberty."
The three stained gl: as windows
atee,gorge us in coloringend complete
the general sehoato. heyy allot" the
ideals and do' : • aindealyirig the
Call to Arme; Call to Re/tarp i,r...nee;
Call to Peace. Teta three. undlex-
lying principles slaved be kept in
mind for on them fo wilt the Whole
structure.
The Peace Tower was designed by
Mr. Pearson, the architect of the new
Parliament Buildings. The beautiful
carving, the sequence of arrangement
and the association of local interests
with which the wihole Chamber is
permeated are the work of Mr. Ira
Lake, a sculptor with the soul of a
poet and the heart of a patriot. In
addition to his rare skill, Mr. Lake
brought to the Memorial an excep-
tionally intimate understanding which
must have been born of love. His
working -in of such details as flowers
associated with the different theatres
of war, beautifully interwoven but
never- ,ebt asive, completes to perfec-
tion the varied panels. For Belgium,
the Poppy, for France the Lily, for
Great Britain 'the Rose, the Thistle
and Shamrock, on the panel with the
leaning statute of the Virgin, Rose-
mary, for remembrance is interwoven
and for a little country badly used
during the war and since. the
Asphodel, flower of mourning.
The room in the Peace Tower was
built before the Memorial Chamber
was thought of and it is amazing to
see the wonderful way it has been
adapted to its present purpose. In
the widest measurement it is only
24x24 feet, the high vaulted ceiling
tapering up in most beautiful lines
to a height of forty-seven feet. The
walls and ceiling are of Chateau Gail-
lard stone, quarried and shipped to
Canada (hardens with interior ex-
posure), a present from the people of
France. The floor is bordered by
black marble, the gift of the people
of Belgium, and bearing the names of
the battles in which Canadians fought.
On marble panels around the walls
is girven the story of Canada's
achievement where may be read the
history of Canada, beginning with
the French occupation down to the
end of the Great War.
The badges of 178 units of pre-war
malitia are carved in the /walls. Typi-
cal emblems including all the honors
of war conferred by Britain and al-
lied governments, are effectively us-
ed. Around the pediments are crock-
ets of 210 battalions used for re-
inforcements broken up in England.
An illustration of the sculptor's love
of his subject and the spirit in which
he executed may seen in hundreds
of little touches, so small as likely to
be overlooked. One such may be
noticed on the east wall, where in
four small pictures the British Lion
is shown, first asleep, then awakened,
aroused, rampant. Each picture is
not larger than a silver quarter, but
perfect and inspiring.
The Pictorial Panels are: (1) The
first panel is a reproduction of Nor-
man Wilkinson's famous picture,
"Canada's Answer." The historic sig-
nificance is the Call and the Crossing
and the proud memory that Canad-
ians will ever cherish of those first
dark days of war. On August 1st,
1914, Canada offered to send one
Division in the event of war and Bri-
tain accepted the offer. The Govern-
ment called for 20,000 volunteers and
within a month 40,200 were encamp-
ed at Valcartier. On October 3rd
30,621 men in thirty ships left the
rendezvous in Gaspe Bay with a Brit-
ish naval escort. The ships sailing
out towards the Atlantic full steam
ahead /hake a wonderful opening to
this book of Canada's history.
(2) The second plaque commemor-
ates Ypres, showing the beautiful
Cloth all, St. Martin's Cathedral
the 'Ramparts and the shells bursting
over the horizon. This was where
the first Canadian Division first suf-
fered from gas attacks.
(3) IFestuber+t and Gam/why, an
18 -pound gun taken in by man power
to storm the enemy's barbed wire en-
trenehment, is in the foreground, with
a trench fortified by sand bags and
an observer looking through a peri-
Seope.

(6) Somme, showing Aubert Bas-
cilica with the famous leaning Vir-
gin. The superstition that the tsar
would be lost should the statute fall
was shared by the French ::end Bel-
gians. An aeroplane overhead u'ds
greatly to this picture.
(7) Vimy Ridge, Church of St.
Eloy in the foreground, the Ridges in
distance, besiege starting and signal
testing station. The cathedral is in
the same condition as it was after
the Franco-Russian war.

ing up from trench; machine gunner

noticeable.

ance; nursing sister receiving patient

action with tank halted while cavalry
proceed. This is the first place tanks
were used with any success.

square at Mons at 11 a.m. on Novem-
ber 11, 1918.

Bridgehead on the east side of the
Rhine.
(15) Eastern Theatre, 18 pound
gun proceeding through a blizzard in
north Russia.
(16) Forestry crops functioning
and Armistice announced by officer.
(17) Homecoming, crossing i n
foreground ten ships full steam ahead.
In the centre of the Chamber on
the apex of the Cross is the altar, a
massive stone ornamented with the
Royal Arms, the Arms of Canada and
the Provinces, the gift of Great Bri-
tain to the people of Canada. It is
of Yorkshire limestone and rests up-
on black marble steps. The stone was
laid by Lord Byng as his last official
act before leaving Canada. At the
request of the Prime Minister the al-
tar was dedicated by H. H. R., the
Prince of Wales, on August 3, 1927,
who said: "In the name of the peo-
ple of Canada I set apart this cham-
ber to receive and hold forever the
Book of Remembrance that the glory
of those whose names are written
therein may live for all generations."
The silence of Remembrance was ob-
served and broken by the carillon
pealing out, "Oh, Valiant Heart."
In an inspiring address, the Minis-
ter of National Defence, thanked the
Prince. ' In part he said: Faithful-
ness such as theirs has brought to
the Temple of our National Life, the
strength which comes from determ-
ination, courage and perseverance and
has adorned it with virtues of love,
freedom, justice, patriotism and a
willingness to endure even unto death.
Let us remind ourselves in this great
presence that to be faithful to the
memory of those who lie in Flanders
Fields, we who continue to build can-
not afford to put in shoddy material
or dishonest or careless workmanship."
The Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin, the
Prime Minister of Great Britain, the
first British Prime Minister while
holding office to visit Canada, said:
"There were words spoken on this
earth more than two thousand years
ago which have been with us in the
days of war and since. When Socrates
sentenced to death said to his judges:
"And now we go our ways, I to die
and you to live, but which is the bet-
ter, God alone knows," and God alone
knows. For four years the cream of
our generation streamed to France
and Flanders and Gallipoli from all
corners of the earth, and when they
passed along they said to us who
were left behind: "And now we go
our ways, we to die and you to live,
but which is the better, God alone
knows." The secret will not be re-
vealed until the time comes when we
shall have passed away. 'Has their
sacrifice been in ry ain? That ques-
tion has often been asked. We alone
who survive can give the answer, and
the happiest moment for us will be
when we have so conducted ourselves
in this world that we have made that
sacrifice worth while and an answer
to that question is found. When that
day comes and we pass on, those we
meet whom we loved best on earth
will say to us, "Our sacrifice after all
was not made in vain."
The inscription on the Altar quoted
f ro m Bunyan's V•alient-for-Truth
carved around the huge slab reads:
"My marks and scars I carryr with
me to be a witness for me that I have
fought His battles who now will be
my rewarder. So he passed over and
all the trumpets sounded for him on
the other side."
Patriotism calls Canadians to visit
the National Capital Parliament
Buildings with its Peace Tower and
Memorial Chamber to refresh mem-
ories regarding Canada's answer to
the call to arms and renew vows at
the Dawn of Peace. Remain to ad-
mire its beauty and to pray that when
the last name is engrossed in the
Book of Remembrance, Canada may
write with some assurance of hope—
The End. That, like sacrife, will nev-
er again be required by Canadians
and never again will the n': tions of
the world settle disputes by the
tragedy of war.
