my heart today when J tell ycu that to me there Is no place in the world so bar as old North York said Sir William I have achieved however unworthily any honor in na tional life it is due to your kindness In paving he paid a glowing tribute to early pioneers in Canadas his tory us not forget in these days of big things said Sir William that it was not we but our fore fathers who laid and deep the foundations our prosperity To the men who hewed and togged and stumped worked their way thru the trackless forests all honor To their worthy helpmates on whom de volved the cares of motherhood and

spite of the fancies of youth There is so kindly as kindness And nothing so royal as truth our prices as we mea- We get back sure We cannot do wrong feel right Nor can we give pain and gain plea- sure For justice avenges each slight The air for the wing- the sparrow- the bush for the robin and wreri But always the path that narrow And straight for the children of men We cannot make bargains for blisses Nor catch them like fishes In nets And sometimes the things our life misses Help more than the things which it gets For good lleth not in pursuing Nor gaining of great nor of small Hut just in the doing and doing As would be done by is all Through envy through malice thru hating Against the world early and fate No jot of our courage abating Our part Is to wort and to wait And slight is the
