Paints “13$ “Lest thou forget.” This ancient warning. made the theme of Kipling’s glorious “Recessional.” is always in place after a period of abounding pros- perity. Memory is a faculty vitally bound up with our personality. We are persons because we can remember. Lethe, the fabled river of forgetfulness, would be only another term for annihi- lation. All our inscriptions, monu- ments and records originated in man‘s instinctive effort to keep himself from forgetting. “The muse of history bears on her lips this watchword â€"â€" forget not." Yet nations are often curiously unmindful of their own past, of the heroic deliverances from Egypt and divers houses of bondage. The grey stones of Westminster Abbey, the cen- tral shrine of the Anglo-Saxon race. around which cluster an everâ€"growing wealth ofassociatiOns cry aloud of countless help to stand upon a. highly- favored land, but how few hear and heed the cry. We need the insistent repetition of the Lawgiver’s words, “Be- ware, lest thou forget.” Three Things to Remember. It is more than the nation’s past that is to be remembered. Forget not the Lord, who has guided, moulded and de- livered. On a day of national thanks- giving we profess to remember these three things: (1) There is a personal God. We give thanks not to ourselves, to the country. to the Government. to the laws of nature, but to the living God. (2) This God is the upholder and provider of all good things. The harâ€" vest and all blessings material and spir- itual come frdm Him. (3) There is a sense in which the nation is a unit. There is such a thing as national char- acter, national thanksgiving. We come as a nation to render united thanks to the personal God who has vouchsafed such abundant prosperity to the land. iiIHlNBS TO REMEMBER Toronto Pneacher Outlines tho Points Which Will Make For Canada’s Real Greatnessâ€"The Nation’s Pastâ€"Can- ada's Heritage-â€"Perils of the Future -â€"“Lest Thou Forget! ”â€"“Lest Thou Forget.” “Beware lest thou forget the Lord which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of b0ndage.”â€"Deut. vi., 1:3. > me>wX>wrm 41>2Xm0_<_20 mmasoz w< mm<. 0>202 OOD<.

Cana- dian history abounds in thrilling epi- sodes and critical struggles, as well as in the records of quiet but substantial political and material growth. It is God’s hand that has led us from the old regime with its blending of the feudal. the ecclesiastical and the military, through the change of allegiance from France to Britain, the struggle for constitutional Government. the welding together of separated provinces, down ' to the present far-stretching Dominion, with one central government, bound to- gether by ties of iron and of common sentiment. Should Know Our Heritage. W’e ought to acquaint ourselves with - the wide heritage God has brought upon ' us. On all sides are signs of new na- tional life, as our people begin to appre- ciate their power and to make its possi- bilities real. We are set in a strategic position between the old world of Eu- rOpe and the older world of Asia. We possess the iast great fertile and un- settled territory in the North Temper- ate Zone. On the ocean shores our fish- } ermen gather a marvellous harvest of the deep. In east and west are limitless supplies of black coal, the land between possesses the new white coal of elec- tric power, generated from a series of waterfalls, the mere enumeration of which is as marvellous as a fairy tale. The falls and rapids which we deemed for industrial and manufacturing en- terprise as any land on earth. We are the only part of the Empire which is becoming a manufacturing area. Our Iforests may by the application of scien- tific methods yield a yearly harvest as regular and as profitable as our fields. Great stretches of barren rock are found to be the covering of vast mineral de- posits. The very mountains seem to bathe their feet in gold. The wheat belt is but touched. and already we feel that the Empire’s food supply is meas‘ urably secured. Wheat is king, for in the last analysis hunger rules the world. The older provinces grow richer year by year, as mixed farming, stock raising and dairying are developed. Ontario is not side-tracked, nor is it ever likeâ€" ly to be. Such is the rich land, which is open to our people. A nation has been defined as “the marriage between "U' I'vvvv VV.‘ 9. land and a people.” Are the people worthy of the land? We need not re~ gret the comparatively slow increase in population it we avoid the menace of huge unassimilated masses of foreign- ers among us. In the main. our peOple The Nation’s hast.

An acute observer has remarked that our current sins are not so gross and general as mental unreliability and lack of truth. W‘hcther this is so or not, there is quite enough in public and private life to warrant the reiteration of the great commonplace that there is a difference between right and wrong, between truth and falsehood, and that we are eternally bound to do the right and speak the truth. No nation can live socially, politically, commercially or spiritually, on falseness and dishonesty. Pactum serva. The Defence Against These Dangers. That which above all counteracts these evils is pure and undefiled relig- ion, the fear of God and the consequent respect for and service of. mankind. The true basis of national life and greatness is religious and Christian. Character determines national as well as individ- ual rank. What magnanimity have we displayed? How do we keep 011? pledges? Do righteousness, truth. pur- ity. goodness, dwell among us and abound? What contribution are we making to the spiritual wealth of the world? These are the questions which go to the root or the matter. The truâ€" est wealth is noble life. That country is wealthy which breeds and nourishes good and happy human beings; that individual is wealthy whose personal character is being perfected and whose influence over others is wide and help- ful. The highest character is created by remembering the Lord our God. A covenant with God is the surest ground of all covenants between man and man. i The fear of the Lord deepens the sense of personal reSponsibility, trees from the baser fear of men and indicates the worth of the individual. Forget not the Lord who has redeemed. By the met-- cies of God in Christ let us present our-. selves as living sacrifices to Him. Then shall we be God-fearing and man- 151510;]-.. SUBSCRIBE for The Chronicle. Dated the 27th day of February A. ‘ AA- 4. Amid the press of business and the pursuit of culture, upright citizens are tempted to renounce their political priv- lleges and responsibilties. They do not realize that we get in the long run just the kind of government we desire and deserve. Even if there are some ob3ec- tionable features in public life, no one ought to be so discouraged as to aban- don the w-hole field of politics. 3. In a. democratic community with well~nigh universal suffrage, the voter has supreme power. One danger is that he may not have intelligence equal to his power. Political power must.not be linked with political ignorance. Edu- cation in the broadest sense must be carried on by home and school, by press and church. 2. In Canada the danger of sectional- ism faces us with special features. Will the west pull asunder from the east. or will the twain meet and mingle and labor for the common weal of the great- er whole? Will the Frenchâ€"speaking people be divorced in thought, senti- ment and ideals from the English- speaking? This is our most difficult problemâ€"how can two people speaking different languages be made one? How can they ever understand each other‘s aims or point of view? All the patience, wisdom and generosity of which our statesmen are capable will be needed to overcome this danger of racial cleavage. Will capital and labor be an~ tagonistic. or will they coâ€"operate? Is the country’s welfare to be greater than that of the combine or the union? We are contron'ted by these, among other, dangers: (1) In all ages, and es- pecially in ages of rapid material de- Velopment, we are apt to become ma- terialistic in thought. standards and worship. We may die “of things." Big- ness is not necessarily greatness. Pales- tine, the home of our faith, was not big. Greece, the mother of arts and culture. was not big. The mother lands across the sea are not big. A nation's true life does not consist in the abundance of the thinm which it possesses. A nation may lose its soul to gain a world 0! things. If we think and talk and do things material only we sink in the level of life. It is anation’s ideals that real- ly make it great. “A sense or grab ness keeps a nation great," but the greatness must primarily be the great- ness of an election by God’s will, or privilege by God's grace, of sacred charge to be of service to the world. We ought to realize the dangers of the future and seek to counteract them by connecting God with the future, as with the present and the past. When a nation is in the making the privileges and the responsibilities of citizenship are incalculably great. We have had a. good start and a grand opportunity; let us have a noble ambition. The special interest of the Canadian situation to- day lies in what Canada. may yet be and do. The dew of youth is upon us. Can- a'da cannot stand still. Lord our God has verily given us a. goodly heritage. If it is His gut, we are responsible for faithful, worthy and intelligent use of it for the highest are of tie old stock. with coinmon ideals and characteristics.

On the other hand, while his weight is well maintained, a man is practically proof against attack, and if disease is already present, the fact that the weight is being increased is proof positive that the disease is being overcome. The desirability of maintaining the weight should therefore be apparent.
