PIISIDINTI ADDIII!

It is a pleasure and bmw to welcome you to tho ans hundred and ninth anniversary dinner giv- en by the Calodmla Club of Prince lidwardlsiandinlronorofbtAn- drew, the Patron Saint of Scotland. Itiswellﬂiatweaohcnorand revere hint to whom is ascribed the high ideals which have onnoblad our ancestors, and made the men of Scotland resvetted the W0rld over. The trouble with this age iri which we live is. not too much. but too little reverence.

During the past year this Club bu been called upon to mourn the loss of two of its most highly as- teemed Clansmen-JEX-Chlef James D. Stewart, Premier and Attorney General of this province and Capt. Angus McDougall, PiPO Miler of the Club Band.

The late Hon. Mr. Stewart had won for himself a large measure of succem in his professional and political career. Capt. McDougeII had become a familiar figure at Club dinners, where for years he had furnished the pipe music.

In looking over the records of the past year two events were of espe- cial importance-the annual Burns Concert and the Scottish Gather- ing.

The concert, while not a fin- ancial success. was much enjoyed by all who attended. The Scottish

The fci'owing address in rep‘y to the toast ‘The Day and A’ Wha Hznor It" was delivered by Rev. G. Carlyle Webster.

Mr. Presidfnt and Gentkmen;

It is a mat‘er of amazement and wonder to me that I should have been inv ted to respond to the toast ‘The Dav and A‘ Wha Hon- our It," a duty which is bath pleasant and difficult. My arnaae- mert was heightened end increas- ed when, last week, one of your good clansmen, and I may say, a very gocd frend of mine. said to ma, whether in earnest or jocu‘ar- 1y, I do not know, "I understand you are going to become a Bwtrh- man." No doubt the reason of his supputlon is quite apparent, namely, that f have not the prefix "Mac" before my name. But I would lbe to assure him that if r am not a Soot. I bebng to that other class in the warld—those who aspire to be such. I cannot lay claim to Scotland as the land of my nativity. but I am proud and thankful that. my father was born in Banff, and my mother in Gal- ash els.

I am happy to Join you on this auspicious occ sion when y u, in common with many a lzyal b"dy of ‘Ni-l. the world over. gather tn- lﬂlllol‘ on St. Andrew's Day. to do Mum" l0 1W!‘ patron Eant and to the land from which your f re- fathers and mine have come. ~ St. Andrew has the dst‘nct'on of wins the Pit-fin aunt of two countries.

Others may seek first place and set forth great pcrecml ambitions. but it was not so w-th Andrzw. He was meek but he was not weak. He was humble. yet he was a man of valour and courage. There was nothing of envy, or jealousy in 11's nature. Re did not possess certain gifts of genius, as did some of his co-workers, but he possessed cla- menta equally as great, mcekness and humillty. And it may be in the day when yudg-ment will go by character lbd not by gifts, that this man Andrew, th's self-forget- ful, this aelf-effaciug Andrew will

Again, he was courteous- H‘: open heart always went out to others and he had that faculty of lcoking for the best in others. It is perfectly natural for him there- fore when hls comrades are pun- led an-d pcrplexrd with a group of alien tourlsts. to be courteous to them and arrange for the inter- view they to desire. Ha attitude was one of kndly brother-hood to all, an attitude we sorely need to- day.

Time forbds my further enlarg ing upon hs many gotd and ad- mirable qualiti s, suffice to say, that this patron Esint was a man deeply rel gious. studiouo. strong, courageous. humble, generous. "oy- al—-these are the dstinguish ng marks of a true and noble Saint. Gentlemen, if I have road sright the character of Bcotsmen. if I have caught somethng of the genius of that small but mighty land. it is this, that Scotland and Bvotsmen. have imbibed thee very quzlit es that were ro evident, and cm nent, in the life of their pat- ron Biint.

Wonderful Country

Nowwesoethisvast sreacf country diversified with rich meadow, mountains, forests, lakes, streams. rivers and glaciers-all combining physically w make a wars-oh‘- ical form wonderful in beauh.

The greater portion of what is now the Dominion of Canada was prior to Confederation held be tho Hudson's 8a! Company as a vast hunting ground and for tba amb- lishinent of trading posts for the development of the fur trade.

This great, lune land. explored by the Hudson's Bay Company, has now become the “Wheat Granary” of the British Empire. with this picture of vastness of area of our great Dominion. we realise that Confederation in 188'! gave nation- al unity to our vastness and created tn, Dominion of Canada and the prophetic words "Thy dominion shall stretch from shore to shore." became a glorious reality.

This was a political Confeder- ation only. 'I'he completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885 was the keystone of Cmfederstion, linking up transportation from the Pacific to th. Atlantic Ocean, thus making trade and develop- ment possible to the Dominion. The vision of the Fathers of Con- federation thus became a definite fact; and what a satisfaction it must have been to those at that time!

The three great factors in the colonisation. civilisation and de- velopment of Canada, especially in the wed. were tb. early fur trad- ers, the Hudson's Say Company and the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Now our two great railway sys- tems, the CPB. and 0N3... radi- ate their transportation lines, north. south. east and west. giving Canada the greatest railway mils- age of any country in the world on a per capita basis. These rall- way systems connect us with Eur- ope by ocean liners that traverse the Atlantic and Ploific Oceans and carrying Canada's products from her maritimq ports; and thus her trade traverses tbs Seven Seas.
