:93; Dear Friend. Robert: Your letter received and I note your request for suggestions for a birthday gift for that particularly fine girl friend in whom you are so interested. You say you have no idea just what she might like especially well for a gift. There are a variety of things to take into consideration in making a ' PAGE 6. You see, Robert, that it was the per- sonal touch that. made the little gift to Helen Keller so valuable and pre- cious. Have you read Spencer M. Free’s “The weight of each day’s living is: never greater than the day's strength That too. shall become a little beacon-light of power and wis- dom to me on those days when the load is heavy to bear and it seems as though I must sink to the ground with discouragement and anguish before the sun sets and it is time to seek new strength in sleep. The gift that my friend has given me is much greater than that to be gaged in a little book. lovely as it is in suave and tawny leather! “No one may suffer vital injury ex- cept through wrong he does his own spirit That, my friend, is a treasure-trove of sweetness and wis- dom. I shall make it my own. and whisper it, to myself whenever I am hurt or angry or rebellious. How often have I been inadequate in facing the multiplied burdens of the disordered empire within myself! Up- risings and very revolutions of spirit have found me weak and cringing. I have cowered in the dark, and the powers of evil. the temptation to be weak and self-pitying, have conquered "A man who bore with constant calmness and without a known moment of weakness the multiplied burdens of a disordered empire "I do not know Whether he can speak to you with the same voice but if he can, you will find that his power and helpfulness grow with each time you There are sentences in that message which I shall treasure and hold as clearly as any frOm the pen of Marcus Aurelius himself. “This little book,” wrote the friend who sent my gift, "voices the faith of a man who bore with constant calm- ness and without a known moment of weakness the multiplied burdens of a disordered empire, treacherous friends, implacable enemies, domestic grief and painful illness. Believing as I do that no one may suffer vital injury except through wrong he does his own spirit, and that the weight of each day’s living is never greater than that day’s strength, no matter how heavy may be the sorrow from the past or the menace of the future, I have often found in his fortitude help in meeting both hurts and burdensâ€"even some- times comparing myself to him, a humiliation that stirred my pride and so. was also a strength. And on my birthday came the gift of a dear small book, all finely clothed in tawny leather so soft and smooth. it is like a cares to the eager hand. It was the "Meditations of Marcus Aurelius". I have other copies of those meditaâ€" tions, and greatly I value them but this especially shall I treasure for the suave loveliness of its touch. and for the message which I found enclosed on a tiny slip of paper hidden among its leaves. personalmessageseemtometobethe most essential things to keep in mind.

He told of the proposal of Briand of France, for a. treaty of friendship with United States; the widening of the circle by the United Statee asking five nations to join her in renouncing war; the still further extension until on August 27th in the Clock Hall, Paris, with the flags of all nations flying over the building, the Declaration was signed by fifteen nations. Only one speech was made on that memorable occasion, and that by Briand. He “In the United States of America the public peace sentiment is probably more vital, more widely distributed more warm and active and more thor- oughly organized than it is in the Dominion of Canada”. He made clear. in the following sen- tences. the fact that the great body of American peOple .are peace loving, and greatly desire the peace of the world. “Let me cultivate hope, and optim- ism in reference to the realization of that hope. for only through hope and optimism has humanity made its great advancements in the past.” “Someone may tell me it is only a gesture. that there are no teeth in this pact, that it is only the expression of a pious wish. Well, search the history of the world. and show me any pious wish so universal, so distributed, so authoritatively emphasized and em- bodied as in this case. Instead of find- ing fault with this because it has no grip. and spreading doubt and scepti- cism. is it not a better exercise of human effort, and better national Wis- dom and better international Wisdom for» each and every man to say “God be thanked for the progress so far made. The Senate first approved of the Treaty, and then sent it to the Com- mons. Only two speeches were made, one by Senator Dandurand and the other by Sir George Foster, but each was a masterpiece. Sir George emphasized in eloquent and living words, the gain made by the Treaty. He said: “The records of our Parliament will be searched in vain for a finer expres- sion of the people’s thought on a great subject.” "The people ‘who like to show super- iority by criticising the politicians should carefully avoid reading . the Parliamentary debates on the Kellogg Treaty. unless they are willing to be converted to the idea that Canada really stands before the world as a nation both worthy and worthily re- presented.

Gentlemen, in a few moments the cables will be telling the entire world of the awakening of a great hope; and from now on it must be our sacred duty to do all that ca'n be done so to bring it that that hope may not be dis- appointed. Peace has been proc1aimed, and that is well. That is much. But peace has yet to be organized. For settlements by force we must substi- tute settlements by law. That must be the work of tomorrow . . .

Only when reduced to terms of hours, words and pages in Hansard does the discussion which the House of Commons recently concluded, leave the monumental and come some- what within the realm of the routine. It is estimated that a. mere 1,200,000 words were recorded during the 14 days “There was a curious foretaste or the millennial fulfilment of the treaty in the peace which united all parties. There was a human, almost ingenious touch in the congratulations offered the Prime Minister upon having had the honor to put' his name to the treaty on behalf of Canada, and his modest, yet proud, acknowledgment of these compliments.” 'Mr. King, in answer to questions by Mr. Woodsworth, made it clear that Canada was not bound by the reserva- defensive)- and the further fact that was not defined, (all wars are called tions made by Great Britain, and also that Canada had signified her inten- tion of signing the optional clause- this is referring all disputes to arbi- tration.

I took the view that most will be gained by reading into the text of the Kellogg Pact, the iull meaning as written, and then holding the Govem- ments to the letter and spirit of the Pact, that the greatest danger lies in the fact that peoples might think the work of peace' was completed whereas it was but begun.
