LAST EDITION CANADIAN CLUB GIVEN A TREAT Dr. Herridge's Lecture on "The Intellectual Life of Canada" in City Hallo Tuesday Aeron. Development of Self Respecting Canadian Sentiment.-- ti Be No More Powerful Stimulus Than That---A Fine Company to Hear Rev, W. T. Herrridge, D.D., of Otta- wa, was the speaker gg the 'uncheon of the Canadian Club, held in the city hall, at noon, on Tuesday, and his ud- dress on "The Intellectual Life of Can- ada" was listened to with gfpat inter est. . He dealt with the subject in a very interesting manner, and the ad- dress was highly instructive. 'I he mem- bers of the club, were very nuch jpleas- ed at having an opportunity of hear ing Dr. Herridge. Dean Elis presided, in the absence of THe president, A, B. Cusningham, who was unable to sitend, «nd in a few appropriate remarks, introduced the speaker. Messrs. Reid and Humbrook had charge ol the luncheon, and it was first class, a fine service being render- wl. The "speaker occupied the chair at the chairman's right, and Priheipal tiordon his left. Applause fre quently broke in pon the brilliant effort and was vigorous and hearty when the address closed. Rev, 8S. Sel lery moved the vote of thanks in fit- ting terms, The chiel points in the address were these. Dr. Herridge said: "From time to time youn tened Lo some who are able with authority in regard to the vari- ous departments of our vast material wealth and to others who made you feel anew the significance of our poli tieal relationships, and the important place we are destined to occupy as part of a gigantic confederation, on have lis to speak whose girdle of empire goes round the globe. But while the most halting tongue might wax eloguent over themes like these. I shall not apolo- | ize for bringing before you a sub wet which, though it may seem loss practical, really touches in the most vital way everything else besides, In the last analysis the future of our land depends on the quality of those who inhabit it, and while moral work is no doubt to be prized above all other gifts that must be joined with a fine mental discernment if we are ever to rise to the topmost heighis of national greatness. Those of you who read Dickens--1 hope you all do ~~will recall Mre. Detsy Prig's scepti cism with regard to Sarey Gamp's oft quoted friend, Mrs. Harris, 'I don't believe there is no such a per: son.' It may be that a few cynics think that the intellectual life of Can ada is not much more in evidence than Sarey Gamp's apoeryphal confi: dante, But the existence of Canadian clubs alone refutes such a pessimistic view. It was no mere superficial im pulse that created them, or that keeps them flourishing. Of cource. the initial movements of progreds among any people us a rule assmme a severely practical form. Nature has to be sub- dued and its resources developed and for such tasks the sturdy digger and delter, however illiterate, seems bet- ter adapted than the\most idealistic dreamer. One may refuse to worship the almighty dollar and yet not have learned to live on nothing a vear. When fortune can be won by toil of a prevailing prosaic kind and still more when in some cases at least it is won that way with starling rapidity, we need not wonder that commercial standards of value should be most in fashion, and that, when any object is presented before the average citizen, he should be less inclined to 'What ave its educating influences *' than 'How mueh is it worth Our material chances as Canadians are so obvious and #0 much talked about that we shall have to be persuaded that there is something else of still greater moment to us than wheat or real estate or the silver of Cobalt or the gold of Porcupine. "Ihe first condition, then, of intel lectual advance is some consciousness of our need of it. We must. strike the happy mean between a false pride and a false humility, not imagining on the one hand that we have nothing te learn, nor on the other hand that some unconquerable handicap either of surrqundings or of natural inaptitude prevents us from reaching these elysi- an fields, where others have walked not only to their own content, but in the world's enlightenment. One of the late masters at Trinity College, Cam bridge, Dr. Thompson, had such inor dinate wit . thai it was said of him, 'He eastoth forth his ice like morsals Who is able to abide his frost 2 One day, preaching a sermon in Trinity College chapel to a congregation which for some reason counts .itseli among the cléverest in the world, he began thus : 'It would be obviously out oi place before such an audience as this to expatiate on the responsibilities of those who have five talents, or even two talenis. | shall, therefore, con- fine mysell to the more ordinary case of those of us who have only one tal ent." Such an exordium, save in jest, would not seem to me appropriate to Canadians. Ii talent consists at all in power of receptivity to ideas, I think we possess a fair share of it. Bat Tam not quite so sure that we have yet learned to put it to the noblest uses. So far we have not reached the front rank as an intelligent people, We are crude, as compared, for example, with the Greeks of the age of Pericles, or the brilliant men who gave renown to the Elizabethan era, or to some of the nations of Furape to-day. Speaking jonerally, we are pot great readers, axcept of a kind of 'light' literature, sometimes very light indeed, not vig: orous thinkers except on subjects which concern what we call our 'prac tien' interesis: This may not seem a nice thing sav, yet, as truthful James would put it, 'I state but the acts." "Of course, the familiar apology for his condition of affairs is that we are + young people. But I think we are old enough®*now to have cut our wis lom teeth. A materialistic youth is wt likely to conduce to a miature age of fine sensitiveness to the spirit- vinds that breathe upon human life. "nergy in acfion and profundity in thought should go together. We can- wt postpone seh cule till we have wthing else to do. At Athens, every man was compelled to learn a handi- eraft in the golden days of its im- mortal poets and sculptors and philos- ophers. As a matter of fact, Philistin- ism is often marked, not amongthose whose honest toil is itself, to some ex- tent at least, educational, but amon, those of most abundant leisure, X good deal of our social life tends to the atrophy of intellectual powers, and the vulgar and selfish plutoerat is allowed at times to override without rebuke those. from whom he might take elemental lessons. in the 'art of living. But, thank heaven, this is not by any means the universal vogue amongst us. I believe that a revolt {Continued on Page 7.) to RUSSIA PLANS T0 GROW .

Winnipeg, Feb. 27 One of the largest Winnipeg grain operators, Hugh Patterson, has leit for the Pa cific const to look into the situation there regarding the movement of west- ern prairie grain to its final market via a British Columbia port, which is anticipated with the opening of the Ranama canal. Difficulties in grades have hitherto checked the free move- ment of grain westward, but in a few years several routes offering mini- mum grades will be available.

Ten have already been order- ed and before summer the army will possess from twenty-four to thirty, which will be built to meet the re quirements of the army.
