Providence helps those who help themselves, and the bet- ter way of putting it would be to say that Providence had co-operated with the farmers of Canada and made their efforts fruitful Mr. McIntosh believed that Pro- vidence also was co-operating with the House of Commons, and would help the members to "get through a legislative crop."
