The waves of the boundless sea, Where our vessels ride in their tameless pride And the feet of the winds are free; From the sun and smiles of the coral islea To the ice of the South and North, With dauntless trscxi through tempest dread The guardian ships go forth. What is the white on our flag, boys? Tha honor of our land, Which burns in our sight like a beacon light And stands while the hills shall stand; Yea, dearer than fame is our lan-Ts great name, And we fight wherever we be, For the mothers and wives that pray for the lives Of the brave hearts over the sea.

We'll stand by the dear old flag, boys, Whatever be said or done, Though the shot comes fast, as we face the blast, And the foe be ten to one; Though our only reward be the thrust of a sword And a bullet in heart or brain, What matters one gone if the flag floats on And Britain be Lord of the main, Frederick George Scott. should be more to us thorn a material If we had suc'h ciMaenis wln-t a r naune.

To bring this about it is necsesury for evwy citizen as an integral prt of the great cojnmcTjwealth to build up in Coinadia a Christian citizenship. Christian Citizenship should include in the individual INTELLIGENCE and RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLE. No man who dees not possess in some measure such qualification can. bene- (Tt tht> no'.Ljn of which he is a mem- ber. INTELLIGENCE ia particularly necea:ury where there is so much equality as there i? in Canada .that no mam naed desparir of attaining tha honors. We have a noble system of education but not intended nor specially adapied to afford the hrg'lxT forms cf knowledge which Christ.:. in citizenship oemands. The of which I speak is only to be g;- lined by cocpericoee aind study.

Nor is there any tme panactu for the social and. p^Jtlcal e\-i!s afflict us, in ccnwnan wiA. ctkirr coun- ftries, but a raising of 1 he entire r rial structure. It is rot by this cr that gcvernmeTst. rt is not by a mere change of poKMc-ol leaJers nor conflict of party that true ffreatness can be achieved, but by prevalence cf roM'gaaua among the inhabitants, by the of the Bible truth ;und by well-fillet onuirchos. A standing army is gocd and useful in its place; armies ax.if arsenals and fleets of warships may give external pres%e and' grandeur to a naticrt, but the best defence thot any country csn lightened, niioral pcasess and is an citizenship, a free and complete sys- , tem f education as to meet the just social eCbira, to demand such im/telli- demand^ of every faith and every jperac-e would be urtwise, as it would | be unnecessary. But ooir case is vastly different. Every citizen of thds coun- try may, without the smallest diffi- culty, gain such an amount of knowl- edge as will make hrim am indepersdiemit gent in every matter that concerns the commonwealth. We do not be- lieve in this land that ignorance is a virtue, but we do believe that knowl- edge ar.<i intelligence are the btrth- rrgh't of every claw and that wher- ever ttoay are general there will' be arjd condition of life. "Happy is the people that is in such a case'; yea. happy is that peopte whose God is tha Lord." Next to the duty w owe to the Church of Christ aire over obMgati'oms to the notion obligations which in- ore-?,se ami rJse in importance in pro- portiibn ais we enlarge our conception of the lard in whiich we live.

It is admitted that there never was trmo when knowledge was m:<r gemieralJy diffused than a& the pres.ent.
