To most of us he was known officially as the Governor General of Canada, unofficially as John Buchan. the author and intimeteay as a man truly and sincerely interested in all the affairs intvolvring this great Dominion, His extensive tours of the vast reaches a Canada, were always symbols of his concern and deep' senae of loyalty to his King and the country he served. Wher- ever he appeared,. something never failed to catch his' mind's eye which later was handed back to the C neeleam people in: word' or in writ- ing. Wherever the country was blessed with his appearance, - he brought that same atmosphere of reverence atbiddng strength so oharacteristand'iquietc tn, 1igh all his philosophy of life Hewas a mar's man and we Canadians were proud of our vice regal represenita- tive. Through all the exalting and pompous mite of kingly office he re mained the same John Buchan.. And when we pause to dwell in thought -on his merits and achieve meats, we can, scarcely voice. our praise. Here was a man. who had no royal road to success, but rather, knew what it was to work and work hard for the goal ahead. Without influence or wealth he rose to the highest position in the land. In him was bred that trill ditional Presbyterian gospel of hard work. Destpite physical disabilities he was determined all tlirough,his life to carry out his purposes: He was an. untiring work- er and so leaves to prosperity some- thing very worthwhile in Christian faith. English Literature and Politi- cal Administration. Perhaps ]lis contributions to the field of literature stand out In his suns of meritts. As a son of a Scot- tish manse, he had a ,wonderful im- portunity to cultivate literary habits and; instincts. Nor did be miss this opportunity, hes ave ilei, himself of it to the full. Through his years of academic courses. his' progress as an author wan well marked. He said h4mse15, that he v'-ote "became he needed the ,money" but we all feel that the desire was there end steadily working its way out, His Profession, as a lawyer brought him into many scenes of common life which had a pronounced effect on his works. The snorers of his books lit probably dee to their naturalness and sound' tru'thfulness''. Even in his, romantic nmies his characters appear in, htfe-like ream -cleaves:. Yes. Canada should be proud of her gide for the ages to come. His greatest legacy to Canada in a personal sense was however, to her cultural life. As a• God- fearing man Lord Tweedsmuir stood for the right and eschewed the wrong. All his ineumerab]e slieech- ea, both public and private, were crowned with dnmpiration. that serene from a deep abding trust in Ctihristian progress, of are and litera- ture and never felled when the on- portundty arose, to exhort the youth of the, Dominion to seek the hiellest plain, To ben man was, to stand for the highest in. everything. As we pay homage% we, realize that our moss is great.
