As astatesman, aman of affairs, and a student of history, few Canadians have equalled Hon. George E. Foster, minister of trade and commerce in the Dominion government. His patriotism, good sense and foresight are not to be gainsaid, and the words he addressed to the Canadian Club at Vancouver on Monday are worthy of the attention of every Canadian. ‘The first thing 1 would impress upon you,” said Mr. Foster, “is that the country is larger than the party. Government is a thing that is aimed atand there are many means by which it is ob- tained, but we must never forget that the party exists for the country. The country does not exist for the party. The party idea is always in danger of being carried out on narrowing lines and tends to less effective government, but if you remember that the country comes first, you protect the party system from its own evils. When you observe that, patronage slinks into the back- ground, where it should always stay, ’’ 7 Mr. Foster spot:e on the duty that is owed by the individual to his country. He spoke particularly to young men and deplored the fact that there was a tendency in the rush of modern business to neglect the debt that every man owed to the men who handed down to them such a rich heritage as Canada and to the genera- tions that were to follow, Even the most democratic government would be a failure, he declared, if the individual, however modest, did not fulfill his duty in his own particular sphere, ** Every one of us,’’ said Mr. Foster, “are governors of this great andrich country, Let the young men—and some of the older ones—remember that always. ” *‘ As I looked out on the broad expanse of Canada during my journey, I could not help thinking that Nature had done her part in this land of ours and that it is to the Auman element and the up- lifting of that element we must Jook new for the advancement of Canada. We are advancing, The great fields that are tilled, the vast transportation systems and the cities growing so rapidly are all part of the advance, But in this advance we must not forget what are sometimes called the little things of life; little things that tend to the uplifting of the man and the woman, It is an age of materialism and that has grown to be almost a disease, It is up- ' permost, and moral and spiritual things are beginning to take a lower place. Let us remember to keep the spirit that will keep our country clean and still make it advance, “Tt is nice to have clean clothes, but itis much nicer to have clean bodies underneath them. It is nice to have fine residences, but it is much nicer to have modest residences with happy families and clean families within them, I want to impress on you all to- day that there are many of these so-called little things of life that count vilally. | ‘‘ A country becomes great becatise of the strong and clean moral fibre of its manhood and its womanhood. Nature, and the endowment of nature, amounts to naught if the man and: woman of the country are not strong, for greatness in a country means “greatness in its manhood and its womanhood. "There is another thing we must remember., We must keep up with our responsibilities. We often hear of our individual rights and our opportunities, but how seldom does the average man —itis the young.Canadian I want to impress—but we too rare- ly take advantage of these opportunities and these rights’ The very moment that an opportunity opens up there are duties that come with it. In talking about our rights we are apt to forget our duties. - “T would like to turn every young man who hag these oppor- tunities in front of him, about face when he first comes up against them and ask him to see the path of struggle and bloodshed which has given him this heritage. Then I would take him out of the past-and tell him of the future generations and the debt he owes | Dee. 12, 1912, the following described lands: a4 Kitse north 60 chains easterly from the southeast corner of Chas, Kirkwood’ claim, ‘thence 3 40 chains north 40 cheing, east 40 chains, containing 160 acrea more or less: Dec, 23, 1912.° 27 ‘John Meagher, CHURCH OF ENGLAND S, KS en rns Als ST.
