Canada In The Making

Inspiring Address by the Hon. Jul- tlce Auehault in Reply to the Toast “The Brtlttanlc Com- monwealth" at St. An-

rew’: Dinner

Mr- Justice Al-senault in respond- in-g to the toast "The Brittannic Common. Wealth" at the St. An- drew's Dinner Tuesday. spoke as follows: ..

It would be trite for me to say that no nation has suddenly sprung into being. The process of building up a great country and a great. people is necessarily a. slow one. This great process has to be work- ed out in the plain and open day, statesmen and historians standing by to superlnltend, criticise and make record of what is done. In the u-pbullding of a country as in the formation of a community the whole is made up of individuals, and each has his part to play in bringing about the result, and no nation or no country is greater than the individuals that compose it

Every citizen owes a double civil duty, the one to the home and fatnily, the other to the state, and \l'e'C£lIl the duty of the state patriotism.

Patriotism implies not only love of the soil and of fellow citizens but also ntt chment to tho count- ry's laws and institutions. it in- cludes an. ardent zeal for the main- tenance of those sacred principles that secure to the citizen freedom of conscience and tho determina- tion to consecrate even ills life for God and for Country, an-d the poet has truly said “Breathes there a man with soul

so fluid Who never to hllnself hath said, _ ‘This is my own, my native land!’ "

we are wllal we are, let us strut about and boast. that wo are

zlllegiauce to no other civil powvr." Viewed in the light of this defini- tion we are not yet such a nation, and let us hope it will be a long time before we so become, for as the proudest boast of a Roman was that. he was a Roman Citizen, so the proudest boast of a Canad- ian is that he is a. British subject, and long may he be willing that Canada shall remain

“Daughter in my Mother's Home But Mistress in my own."

But if we are proud of being cali- ed British subjects, we delight as

The Fathers of (Tonfetitirntlon. among wholn worn some of the ablest and most far seeing mon (Zanada has produced, realized this and it. was their great ambition to coalesce tile (demon-ts of popula- tion ln the different and scattered parts of Canada and mould them into‘ a homogeneous whole. The union of Uppor and Lower Canada had not proved a success. Continuous difficulties were nris- ing which the leaders of the day were powerless to solve and gov- ernment after government went down to defeat without bringing about any beneficial results. Sir John McDonald refers to these difficulties when he says: “All were alarmed at this slate of affairs. We had election after elec- tion~we had ministry after mini- stry——wlth the some results. Par- ties were so equally balanced that the vote of one member might de- clde the fate of an administration. it was hoped that with a Parlia- ment conlposoti of representatives from other Provinces as well. the rivalry between Upper and Lower Canada would disappear and that- the government of tho country would not be subjected to such fre- quent changes. But thcro was in my opinion a far greater reason for Confederation. With a number of scattered Provinces and Colonies, each with its system of government and its custom barriers, with Upper and bower Canada barred from the open sen by the rigors of our Cana-
