and

the
"precipice

by

were
vividly,
If

described.
The
nearness
of
the
Rocky
Mountains
with
their
message
of
hope
and
the
assurance
of
their
permanence
was
certain
to
oe
oi
rare
spiritual
encouragement
to
those
who
see
them
dally
and
a
solace
to
offset
trying
discouragements.

--A

of
the
finest
type.
The
speaker
was
emphatic
tliat
mere
size
was
of
little
value
to
a
country.
Its
greatness
depended
on
the
spiritual
values
of
its
people.
The
future
of
Canada
depended
on
the
Ideals
of
its
inhabitants.
That
the
prestige
of
Canada
stands
very
high
In
Europe
and
particularly
In
Trance
was
effectively
Illustrated
by
a
reference
to
a
personal
experience
he
had
when
he
visited
an
estam-inet
in
the
war
zone
where
he
had
been
bllletted
during
the
war.
The
sacrifice
made
by
the
55,000
Cana
dians
who
fell
in
the
World
War
demanded
the
highest
standard
of
living
from
those
.
who
reap
the
benefits
of
their
unselfishness.
We
must
remind
ourselves
of
this
lest
through
lapse
of
time
we
become
careless
and
unworthy
of
our
heritage,
declared
the
speaker.
His
experience
of
the
faithful
service,
the
every
day
practical
high
levels
maintained
by
the
teachers
of
the
province
confirmed
his
faith
In
the
present
generation
and
gave
an
assurance
that
Canada
was
not
only
a
large
country
but,
what
was
infinitely
more
vital,
a
great
country.
,
A
very
hearty
vote
of
thanks
was
accorded
Mr.
Hall
for
his
very
human,
helpful
and
Inspiring
address.
