Imagination cannot picture their privations and 'hardships. , We know nothing about it. We have three good meals a day every day. When it is cold we have comfortable homes. When it is hot we have shelter. They often had neither food, nor heat nor shelter, and they certainly had no homes. A re to discover possessed them, and we enjoy the relentless urge to wealth they made possible and the security they bought with | their lives. Two great prizes were held before the eyes of the early ex- plorers--fortunes in furs, and the fabled North-West passage to t/India Two great foes stood in their path--nature untamed, and | the Indians. =~ _ What a toll of lives was taken by that quest for the North West passage. Bering and Hudson showed a tenacity of pur- pose and a courage that merited better reward. But nature does not yield easily and does not satisfy our guesses; but she has a bigger store and greater surprises that even the things we seek. 'What was the North West passage to India compared to the riches of the Western Canadian Coast, British Columbia, the Fraser. River, the Mackenzie River, the prairie provinces, and Hudson Bay. These all became known directly or indirectly through that quest, and our "vastness" is centered in these dis- coveries. % . The fur hunters have always been romantic and courageous figures. Every live boy read eagerly tales of trapping, "stories of ts secured that are more valuable than gold. There is no limit to the adventures of these men, and Britain did the usual thing when she gave charters to the Hudson Bay Company with privi- Jege to trade with the Indians and fight them if need be--to do the pioneering in exploration and then when the big job was done Britain formally takes over these domains. That was her policy in India, that was her policy in South Africa. Fur was a prize, and the Indians soon learned that fact and fought for their prize which was. their possession. How bloody were those wars and how terrible were the sufferings inflicted on the early settlers, cannot be described. Nor can one understand the brutality and grasping nature of some of the early adventur- ers who went to seek the great prize--fur. Their cruelty and their utter lack of morals op decency sowed a crop whose harvest was torture and death for thousands. How much nobler were such Indians as Joseph Brant, Pontiac, and Tecumseh. They were characters worthy of the highest praise. Gone are those days. Only in buried arrowheads and ham- mers and axes of stone; here and there a skeleton, or a monument lof some great struggle, are we reminded of those years of high adventure. : ¥ Equal in courage, nobler in purpose, greater in sacrifice; were the Jesuit priests of those early days. They endured everything 'that human fiendishness could devise because they believed that the Gospel would "save" the heathen. No picture is more ex- pressive of their blind faith in this idea than that given by Parkman. He pictures a scene after a great struggle between two op- posing Indian tribes. The victors are resting, and are preparing to enjoy the spectacle, which. the torture of their prisoners will provide.
