This was the 40th an-!` nual dinner of the society, and it can be said with every, assurance that never in their history did deep- er feelings of loyalty to Canada and; the Empire imbue the members ofI this `great philantrophic brotherhood than on this occasion. The `great Empire, of which We` form no in- conspicuous part, is at War, and we are at War. Our sons, our brothers, have `gone forth to stand in thel battle line with men from every. other part of the Empire, with ourl _allies,"the French, the Belgians, and. the, Russians, and many anxious; ones at home -eagerly scan the! casualty lists--fearing yet hoping., Naturally, the speeches would be! patriotic in character, but they were permeated with a deeper,_ fuller meaning of the "patriotism of Eng- land s sons in Canada, than at any former gathering of the society. iof the Society, presided as toast- v--____ 9---- Mr. E.

In` responding to the toast Thelf Empire and the Flag, Hr. Donaldgl Ross said that his toast has al'\V ays"( `been given a prominent place -onil the toast list at the St. George s;5 dinners in. Barrie.

Mr. Donald Ross and `A Secretary Clarke of the _Y.M.C.A. were arrayed on` the side of the land of the heather, while Dr. Palling and Mr. Claud Faux upheld the claims of Merrie Eng- land. His Honor Judge Wismer, Rev. E. W . Reynolds and Mr. J.

Ross and Mr. Clarke gave many instances of the achievements of Scotgmen which stood for the betterment of the lworld. The sturdy character of 'the people, with their strict sense of honor, was the outcome of living in such a climate and on such soil as is Scotland si heritage. The simple, honest home life had had its great ' linfluence on the character of the people, and the strugglesof the Scottish boy for an education caused him to grasp with deeper meaning all that he. `learned, in Imarked `contrast to many English liyouths, Where education comes as wsuch `a matter of course that it is lnot valued nor sought after to the `same degree. In literature, Scots- men had given to the world some , of the nest classics, and the in- Macauley on the national character of the people Was known the World over. `Watt, the Scotchman, had given to the world the `method of '> applying steam in developing power, l, and although Stephenson, an Eng- lishman, had applied the principle l.in the construction of the first 3} steam engine, the originator de- Ilserves the greater credit. In an- I other line of invention, Sir James Simpson, a Scotsman, discovered the iiuse of chloroform as an anaesthetic, - an invention which has proved a boon to all mankind. In coloniza- - tion, it was only necessary to look i,aat the sturdy pioneers who are to e be found" in every part of Canada, notably in Ontario and the VVest, and the inuence of the thrifty Scot . on the markets of the world was 9-`known to all.
