interest to you canada was bom at struggle iind cradled in a chaotic world in this clash of empires two great people bought and were fused and two branches of thej3hrlstlah religion came to exemplify the greatest of its virtues charity irreconcilables were reconciled the fusion was canada and canada became a living ideal so moving and so persuasive that it swept away a world of differences and rivalries and antagonisms in its march to nationhood when confederation became necessary it was a necessity born of an urge to- preserve those priceless things that had become of greater importance to canadi than selfinterest or sectional gain it was in this spirit that her leaders -em- bodied canadas ideas and ideals in government the intangibles of this canadian union like the ties of the british commonwealth of nations be- flux of canadian cltizen- shlp the love of freedom the concep tion of justice and of human good became the moving spirit of tne worlds freest people it took the form of an answering purpose uiat transcended provincial differences and rivalries and caused old antagonisms to melt away in trig fervor of an awakened nationhood we have gone a long way since confederation we have prospered materially we have become a fac tor in the affairs of our empire and our world but sometimes it seems that in achieving our material suc cess we have sacrificed our spiritual birthright for the road has seemed to lead away from that high and moving con cept of nationhood that we know as confederation in these days we face a crisis in our affairs one more de- nite and- more farreaching than many of us perhaps understand in ternally dlsceratat forces are defeat ing the nationaraalms that are dear to most of us sectional differences once a cloud no bigger thavt a mans hand

strange and disquieting things are happening in british columbia there is a growing demand for economic redress we have no thought at this time of entering into a discussion of these issues nor of questioning thatwrilnd many of them lie abuses and inequali ties and limitations that are veryjjinl merit t our one thought at the momi that surely we a free and enlighten ed people need not let our whole attitude our aspirations and our ideals be colored by the grievances of- the moment that we might look be- lyond those differences that divide us to the constant faith that is in us all we have a confidence that this is not impossible a confidence that is hot a matter of mere wishful thinking but that ts rooted deeply in our his tory for canada is a product ol other crises crises- of conquest and of the ensuing problems of racial religious and territorial adjustment and it ts heartening to remember that each succeeding crisis has engendered the forces that have made it innocent of harm the american revolution aat brought so- many influences to bear to induce us to join the seceding col- onies only succeeded in strengthi ourrdevotion to a form of govern ment thatheld our faith and loyalty the years llii faced us with ag gression from without our borders yt only succeeded in giving us a nafloh- wtstesctduihess that vas new to us and 1897 taught us to face dissension from within with a new conscious ness that the genius of our people was to and their liberties within the law and then came confederation dedi cating canada in a great experiment in government to the high purpose of preserving those spiritual quali ties expressed in the countrys grow ing faith in democracy freedom and justice there was a fervor in those days- to which we may well lookuslth pride a fervor for our ideals that trans cended all other considerations and made economic geographic sectional and religious difficulties and divergen ces only handicaps to be overcome by the united purpose of a people who counted possible private advantage well lost if thereby canada mightbe developed to the full stature of na tionhood and then the great war came and out of sacrifice and great tribulation we arose a people tried by fire and with a conscious knowledge that we hada destiny purchased with young lives for canadas sons had died for it and dying had challenged us that we should keep this land from pettl- jiemsajhatthfiirsacriftqeegnot be in vain that was bur great moment but the years have passed and year by year we have let our wisdom fade before a thousand peering listeners we have grown weak with dissension and false doctrines and vain hopes until today we face a crisis more sobering than any that have gone be fore for this is division among our selves and the house divided against itsell is doomed to fall either we will overcome these differences finding some common ground of sympathy and understanding or they will over come us leaving us a people of divid ed interests an uncertain loyalties a little people bickering away a iiobk- heritage in petty disputes and ungen erous selfinterest that is the clear issue we either win or lose there is no middle

one of the chief of these and one whose correction lies within the con trol of each individual is the giving up of exercise or play when the cold weather comes a certain amount of physical exer cise ts necessary to keep the body fit whether it is taken in the form of settingup exercises or in play or again simply as part of the dally rou tine of life such as by walking to and from work most people during the warmer months of the year do secure a considerable amount of ex ercise because they take part in some form of outdoor life which ne cessitates the use of their big muscles unfortunately many people once the cold weather comes lead an indoor life and seldom bring the big muscles of their body into play in addition they continue to eat as much if not more than they did
