If such a rosult is to be achieve. we must build on the right foun:4â€" tionâ€"the revealed will of God in His holy book. Col. Ponton then quoted from the 8th chapter of Deuteronomy, showing how the marvellous ‘descripâ€" tion of Canaan was also true of Canâ€" ada and the promises of God our or:s sure confidence for prosperity anc peace. The old Book ought to be «.e light and delight of all true craiis men, emulating the old masons who were a company of glad folk in maxâ€" ing a duty of happiness and a happ» ness of duty.
