:0ur debt to our pioneers ! Wlho can estimzvte its true value ? Is it a debt: that can be paid in so many dioilars and cents ? Can money pay the debt. wlhiclh has been incurred th.rou~gIh lives of sacrice ? If not, how can we detenmine how our debt can be paid ?_ Before we can realize the im- mensities of our debt we must know of some of the l1.ard.sh-im emfured by the rs: ploneem of Canada. Troubles did mot only begin when hey arrived at their fwoure thoimes. There were all the difcullties of long`, (lanngerous ocean voyages in clumsy ocean vessels. 'Dhere were (l iu7courag'ing journeys on foot to their destinaltions. There were back- bre`akng' tasks of carrying heav,\` bur- dnens of food and clothing`. There were 3111 the (langc-rs of exposure to wild bezxrivts. And when all these suf- ferings had been borne, there were the unaccustomed taslcs. of making Uheir own crude toohs before homes could be raised above their loved ones. Were not these obstacles great enough to try the courage of the bravest and strongest ?
