Seeford,Susses, Feb. 7,1.918, Editor, Wingham Advanta, Dear Editor; Anumber of copies of your paper have found their way into my humble quarters over here, and I have always enjoyed Leading the .contents of my home town paper. I have found that ninny of the copies have contained letters from overseas, so concluded I would transfer to paper a few ofmy ownimpressions of what 1 have seen and learned since leaving Canada, the country that is dearer to the hearts of Canadian soldiers than she could ever have.been,had not the opportunity to appreciate her been presented through the sacrifice of separation. I am thankful almost beyond degree that I was born hi Canada beneath the British flag, but I'm almost thankful that the call of duty has given me the opportunity to study my own country from the standpoint of one who is in vastly different surroundings To fully appreciate the work of the artist we must judge from a distance. Looking across the mighty Atlantic to -day, we who have known Canada as he seems to a citizen, can see and understand much that hitherto has been hidden from us, perhaps because of the fact that we were possessed with that characteristic of human nature (the failure to recognize and appreciate the eppoortunities, Yes,, the blessings with which we are f;l;rrounded.) Far away pastures look green, and we are apt to overlook the nearby fields though they be still richer. Since coming to England 1 have learned many lessons. In the first place, I have been taught a truer and deeper love for my homeland, and I feel that I have gained a clearer conception of what "Canada". ahould mean to a Cana- dian, and I think I am quite safe in say- ing that Canada's soldiers will all go back, no, not all, but those which the fortune of war permits, with new visions of the possibilities before them, in -the land of unbounded opportunities. "Canada for the Cnnadlan", 1 suppose it's natural; but personally speaking I have found, during my stay in England, this country to be far from lacking in in- terest. First it is interesting as the Motherland, then there are the historic features and the natural features, and the natural•characteristics of the land,. these must interest the man who seeks to have stamped upon his Memory more vividly the truths of England's struggles asshe sought to bring herself to her position as h leader among the nations - Nations have watched and wondered many times during past centuries, while Britain has heroically fought for her rights: Time and again she has been faced with tasks which might easily have put fear Into the hearts of a people of different spirit, but Britain's truest and grandest spirit is revealed when she is put to the severest test. Britain is facing a mighty task to day, and true to her noble charac- teristics the spirit of her people is admir- able. A few may try to make themselves pessimists, but the heart' of Britain is firm as a rock and she is oncemore tri- umphing through noble tenacity of pur- pose and determination. It is true that the sacrifice being made is extremely great, but Britain has ere now reckoned the cost and she is ready to pay the price firmly believing that the reward will more than justify the sacrifice. Experience is a great teacher of the individual, and if this is true of the in- dividual it is true of the nation. Bitter experience has during the past few years of unparalleled sorrow and suffering brought home to many, some of the great- est lessons of their lives, and many have thus. been led totake a different outlook upon life. But sad to say there are those who have been slow to see that through. all -the agony and suffering, through all the sacrifice of human blood of these times must be working some grand and noble purpose, Britain as we know previous to this war was mad in the puff - suits of wealth and pleasure. Like a mighty thunder bolt came the truth that she was at war. Time has gone onmonth by month, year by year carrying with it the lives of hundreds of thousands, and yet Britain hath been loathe to shake off her national sins. Truly Britain's great-• est foes have been her foes within, but speaking from the standpoint of the nation, there are to -day indications that she is learning her Lesson and who can forecast the wonderful results, The in- dividuals of a nation make that nation, therefrc that Britain may in the not distant future rise in all _ the might of a potion, rather an Empire vested evitl iu'uiess, (for the sins so character- istic of her have not been confined to these Islands) let her people realize their' duty in the hours of.paril, and let them Cast off selfishness, and prove themselves worthy of the peace that is being paid for not Only by those who give their lives on the field of battle, but by all who sacri- fice for the good of humanity he whatever way it may be.
