zW-a -.. ENG" ‘iS-NDANAS‘ Sermon 'on “An Englishman ' In Canada" Here are some excerpts from a re- cent sermon by Rev. Dr. J. L. Gordon, Winnipeg, on “An Englishman in Canada": . "I am not surprised that an Eng- lishman should be homesick in Wes- tern- Canada. I would be surprised if he were not. Think of England with her cathedral towns, her classic ’,_villages, Lher sacred monuments, her beautiful hedgelined roads, her solid Splendor, her quiet dignity, her peace- ful atmosphere and her ten thousand historical associations. It will be a thousand years ' before we ' will have anything to compare with the beauty _-â€"â€"-the fascinating beauty of Dear Old England. I ‘ ‘I n I' ' V ' "Yet 'I know certain Englishmen. " and Englishwomen ‘who think and affirm that Canada .is one of the finest places in' the world in which to live I have in mind at this moment one' family of English emigrants of fair intelligence, average ability and less than normal health, who in a few years have purchased for themselves a modest but very comicrtable‘home, made generous contributions to the 'church and kindred institutions, and; indueed almost a score of their role: *ti'ves to“join~ them on thi§"sidp_,jbf the Sea. They believe in ’Canadvaflbeeause :they. have succeeded iir‘Canada (and ' Canada is a good country to succeed _ in). V. The emigrant. who fails in Can- 3' ada was aAfailure at home. Canada -i_s-another word for success. "Canada is a good country. Less li'qubr is "sold in Canada than in' any other "cbuhtryâ€"thanks __ to the ‘Item- perance crank.” Canada has the law- V. est death rate of_ any country in the world.» There are fewer‘ignorunt and illiterate people in Canada than in any other country. There are fewer pau- pers .in, Canada to the square mile than elsewhere; in Canada the work- ing day is longer, the night brighter, the air more bracing,- the. social con- ditions more democratic-and the-pros- Z beets brighterth'an anywhere else on t the 'North American continent.

The conquest the engineer has ' achieved over nature’s obstacles is nowhere better illiistrated than on the section of 'the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway along the banks of the Sheena River which is the last of the rivers along the banks of which. the travel- ler will pass before his arrival at Prince Rupert. The Skeena Rover. runs with amazing velocity towards. the ocean. It was a terror even to. the Indians and the totem poles along; its bank mark many a tragedy in- the. redman’s history. The bed of the river is strewn with gigantic rocks,‘ boulders and sand bars and these are shifting continually under the force of the river's 'curre'nt. builders by means of big outlays of money on river appliances made the 'Ske‘ena Serve as the means of trans: porting the supplies for a construe: tlonal army numbering 8,000 men and 8,000 horses.“ Very little tunneling- has' been done, as, nearly four million cubic yards of, rock were blown away on 186 miles or line between Prince.
