I mention these men because they happen to be public men in the Dub- lic eye. I could mention hundreds of other men who have achieved auc- ceas in every walk of life. but time does not permit, and it is not neces- sary that I should do so. I want, how- ever. to refer to a few names of men in the Southern Republic and in the Old land. Herbert Hoover, an orphan boy at ten, in poor or very moderate circumstances President of the United Statu at fifty-iour-think 0! it; and think of Al. Smith the De- mocratic candidata in the last prs- sidential election, a ban-footed boy selling papers on the streets of New York for a living, thrice Governor o! his native State, honored by his suc- cessful opponent, honored by the University of his country, and by mil- lions of his country-men. But above and beyond all, think of Abraham Lincoln. the martyred President-the savior of his country, the emanci- pator of a race, and a model for the human race-in my opinion the greatest layman the North American Continent has yet produced-and he had no advantages at all of any kind or description. If you have not read his life, get it and commit it to ms- mory. You will be repaid for your trouble. With Abraham Lincoln I wish to link the hams of Daniel 0' Connell. and perhaps also I should mention the Welsh orphan boy. David I-Ioyd George, and the Scotch lad. Ramsay McDonald. The two latter have been Prime Ministers of that staid old Conservative country. Great Brit- ain, and useful men in their day and generation. _ Now, why have these men and thousands of others succeeded Where so many failed’! The answer is they willed success, and they worked for it; they took cars of their health. they saw to it that they sot six or seven hours sleep out of every twenty four. If they burned the midnight oil it was not the midnight oil of carousel; they prepared themselves by study and hard work for the call of responsibility when it would come. and it came. as it will come to every- one who prepares for it. They had their trials and their difficulties, but they were not discouraged on that account. ‘they were misunders‘ ‘ misrepresented, and censured. but they won in the end. because they persevered and conquered success. So, if troubles should come to you in your journey through life be not discour ’—remember the old Idlle "No Cross. no Crown." and mmember also the saiptural advice-not every- body who starts in the race wins. but‘ he who peraweres to the end ob- tains the prize. Gentlemen, to be born in Canada in the twentieth century of healthy moral parents, is. perhaps the greatest privilege that could "came to any man or woman in this world. It is the time and place of what is probably the greatest 09PM‘- tunity that has ever come to any branch of the human race. We own and occupy thq better half of the North American Continent. We have been endowed with I flu"? 5W5‘ dance of the necessary and useful things of life than have our neigh- bours to the South. We have the best form of Government that has yet been evolved. and so far at least i; has been comparatively well and honestly adm‘ ' tered.’ We have greater respect for law and order. for public decency, and family life. and a higher conception of MIMI "l!" is to be found in many places: and where people have w dis cellars un- der their houses a viriia race is ord- dueed. It is for 7W lflil Will’ "Bill!- porariaa, the young men and women who are I01": out. from tbs schools. ‘ the collages and the universities of tns land. to say what you will do with this vast inheritance of which I have given you but a hasty and im- perfect daaoflfitlfli- Will you I'll" "- or will you husband and iinliWva it a better country than tbs Canada oi the first half. ‘I110 Bible tells us not to be scl- islwua for ms things of this life, for what we aball eat. or what we shall drink, or whether we shall be cloth- ed. because these things shall be pro- vided if we seek the higher thinli» Thh means. if I understand it aright. that he who puts the hither t-hinse first may confidently trust in the providence of God. but it does not counsel improvldcnce or ‘imprudenoe. and in this connection the Scottish advice given by Robert Burns to his young friend Andrew, is also worthy of consideration. He told him.- “Tc catch Dame Fortune's golden smile, Asaiduoua wait upon her. And gather gear by evry wile That’s Justifyn by honor. Not for to hide 1n a hedge, Nor for a train attendant; But for the glorious privilege, Of being independent." Perhaps a well-balanced appreciat- ion of both counsels might help to maks a well-balanced. worthy cit- izen. God and country are without doubt the highest ideals of the cit- isen. but the homo fires must be kept burning and our due care for the things of this life neither pre- vents nor hinders the proper pursuit of our ideals. Gentlemen, the choosing of a vo- cation ls a very important matter . in the life of every young man, but the determination to be, if posible. the best man in your calling, what- ever it may be, is still more import- an. I think it is Pope who says- "Honor and shame from no condi- tion rise; Act well your part. there all the hon- or lies." » and it is infinitely better to be a capable successful cobbler than a lyriefless barrister. or a nameless quack. In a country like Canada, with such vast resources, such var- ied industries and such growing dc- velopment, it is difficult to make a mistake in a vocation. It is a very old saying that we never can tell‘ what we can do Vuntil we try. and the more I sea of life, the more I am convinced of the wisdom of that observation surprisingly. few men because they are lacking in applica- tion. Either they never learn how to work. or having learned, they are too indolent to apply themselves with the earnestness and the assidulty that are necessary to solve import- ant problems. Any reward that is worth having comes only to the indus- trious. ‘rho success which is made 1n any walk of life is measured almost exactly by the amount of hard work that is put into it. Gentlemen, in the course of my remarks I glimpsed the vastness of our Canadian inheritance, but this is not by any means our only in- heritance. We are heirs to the pres- tige and the power and the glory and the achievements of the Empire or Commonwealth of nations to which we belong. ‘There has never been anything like the British Com- monwealth‘ of nations in the world before. and there may never be any- thing like it again. Think of the in- fiuenos this organization has in the League of Nations and in the world of nations, for the good or mankind. and think of the fact that Canada is the dominant partner in this or- ganizatlon, and then try to realize that you gentlemen, by the educa- tion you have received, have been fitted to play the part of men in this organization-to own it as your very own, to use it, to improve it, to work for it and to pass it on to fu- ture generations. "Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never i0 himself hath said. This is my own, my native landl" We who have crossed the meridian of life and we who are old will soon pass off the stage. In twenty years from now you and your co-tcmpor- aria will be partly in charge; in thirty or forty years from new you will be wholly in charge. Canada and the Empire will then bs what- ever you have labored to make them —lthe torch will have been passed inw your hands. And here comes in- to my mind the thought of that great Canadian who, when dying in a noble cause amidst surroundings entirely different to ours, uttered these inspiring and undying words, which may not be altogether inap- pmpriate to this occasion- "In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the croasu, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks. still bravely singing. fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived. felt dawn. saw sunset glow Loved and were loved. and now we lie. In Piandera fields.

Hughes HME-not a big word. truly. yet what an important part it plays in the workings of this great universe. and in the hands of the Omnipotent what a potent factor it is toward the shaping and swaying of the destinies of men. The most striking quality of time is movement. Men are familiar with, but more or less thoughtless of the sure swift passage of time. A closer and more frequent consideration of this might conduce to that admirable virtue. humility. In common with many of nature's great forces, time in its passing claims exemption from man's interference or control Ha may use it or abuse it to his own gain or loss. but he cannot stay its onward motion, nay. no more than he can_ change the current of the wind or check the planets in their course. Such ‘ realizations serve to show man his limitations. his littisneaa. despite the Rrcatuess of his material achievements. "Time rolls its ceaseless course" and in so doing ticks off with unalterable un- errmg accuracy in its circuts periodical portions knovm as years: thus in a long sue: Asian of years comes the close of the Scholastic one 1028-29.
