Regarding reconciliation, he said there are
those who think that after so much strife and
bloodshed reconciliation is impossible This
is a mistake. In the case of England and
Scotland, which was in some respects similar
to ours, divided, as they were, into Kingdoms,
and at war for centuries, they effected q recon-
clliation, and Scotland started on a new ca
reer of prosperity and glory Such will prove
to be our case. The only hope ! have ever
