mouth in every part of this great British Em pire of which we have the high privi lege of and a great out burst of rejoicing and congratulations on occasion of Her Majestys Diamond is called forth this month front her peoples all over the world We desire to join our tribute of thanksgiv ing to the King of kings and Ruler of princes that for the last sixty years He has vouchsafed to us to have at the head of the State who has brought to the fulfilment of her duties such rare intellectual gifts such purity and loftiness of character and such unexampled devotion to the wel fare of her people No one can estimate what England owes to the character of her Queen and what has been the influence of her example in the great movement that has signalized her reign for the up lifting of the degraded the moral im provement of all classes of society and the ever increasing recognition- and wider application of the principles of liberty piety and Lot the contrast between the condition of Eng land and especially the working class es of England as it was GO years ago and as it is today speak for it self and bear witness to what can be accomplished for a nation by the example before it of those in its highest places showing themselves zealous for what is right and pure and conformable to Gods law and wielding the sceptre of righteousness over the people We can fancy the thought passing through the minds of some of our readers that working away as they are on farms in Canada they have very little interest in the Queen sitting on her throne at Windsor Castle and that the Jubilee is not much more than an occasion for holiday making or perhaps a little extra eating and drinking and cheering but on the other hand there are a good many who have brains and know how to use them and who can realize how im mensely our daily life in almost every transaction is affected by the fact that we belong to a nation and are citizens of an empire where the people are free enlightened and progressive and where under those in authority we are honestly and quietly governed And unquestionably much of this enlighten ment and progress and the develop ment of the principles of liberty and good citizenship amongst us is due to the gracious influence and example of her who for sixty years has been the chief Magistrate of the Realm and has had the leading voice in the coun cils of the nation and there is not an individual in the empire from the highest to the most obscure who does not owe a debt of gratitude to the illustrious lady whom all are delight ing to honor on this great occasion Sixty years I How few of us realize what that term means in the span of a mans life The days of our years the Psalmist tells us are three score years and ten and we know that the average length of life the world over is many years leas than that What does all this mean in connection with great celebration which will make the month of June 1807 memorable so long as tie British Empire stands It that we are today honoring the life work of a woman who since studying the great questions of the day bringing to bear upon them an intellect originally remarkably keen and penetrating but immensely strengthened by three score years of diplomatic experiences drawing her own conclusions and taking her stand and decision according to those con clusions oven when such a position has brought her into conflict with the purposes and policy of her government What marvellous changes have Been wrought in material conditions of the people what progress what ad vancement

London or Liver pool to Halifax or Quebec was made in fourteen or sixteen days it was a very good trip now five days is suffi cient Emigrants crossed the Atlan tic in vessels and had to pro vide their
