Scotland. Carlyle in one OF his
books says: Zone strong thing l
find here below, the just thing,
the true thing, in all battles if
you await the issue each fighter
has prospered according to his
right; his right and his might at
the close of the account we're one
and the sane. He has fought
with all his might and in exact
proportion to all his right he has
prevailed; his very Death is no
victory over him, he dies indeed,
but his worth lives, very truly
lives. A heroic Wallace quarter.
ed on the scoffold does not hinder
that his Scotland become one day
part of England, but he does
hinder that it become on tyran-
nous terms a part of it, commands
still as with Gods voice that
there is a Just real union as
of Brother and Brother, not
false and merely semblance one
as of slave and master. If the
Union with England be in fact
one of Scotland's chief blessings,
we thank Wallace withal that it
was not the chief curse. Scotland
is not Ireland, no, because brave
men rose there and said behold
you must not lead US down like
slaves and we shall not and can.

heart and fslter not, through dark
fortune and through bright, the
cause thou fightest for, so far as it
is true, no farther yet precisely SO

And when talking of history l
may recall the names of David
Hume, Alison, Robertson and
Macsulay. In philosophy there
are Reid, Dugald Stewart, Sir
William Hamilton, John Stuart,
Mill and Alexander Balm. In
political economy. Adam Smith,
the author of Wealth of Nations"
For novelists look at Gait, Will,
liam Black. Robert Buchanan,
George Macdonald, RS. Crockett,
Conan Doyle and our late depart
ed honorary Chieftain Robert
Louis Stevenson; while a genius
at once so vigorous and versatile
as Sir Walter Scott will with diff
fculty be found, though we should
ransack the realms of ancient and
modern literature. In poetry,
we cannot forget Robbie Burns,
Scott, Thomas Campbell, James
Hogg, Robert Ferguson, Allan
Ramsay, James Thomson, the
writer Of Rule Britannia" l
would fain include Lord Byron,
who was born half Scot and
breda whole one. Asregards Burns
none but the most narrow-minded
bigots think of his frailties other
than with kindest sympathy and
it would be well to remember
Burns own words on fault finding
and criticism:
"Then gently scan yer fellow man,
"Still trailer sister-woman,
Though they may gang KEENAN, wrong
ITO step aside is human" ...
In steam and steam engineering
Scotland has held her place we'll,
our James Watt for steam and the
steam engine, our Henry Bell for
the steam boat, and the Clyde
what has it not done? One has
only to look for example at the
"Lucanla" or "Campania," or the
Terrible" the most powerful
ironclad in the world.
Scotsmen are wandering race.
Who does not know the names of
Mungo Park, James Bruce of
Abyssinia, Grant, Gordon Gum
ming, the lion hunter, and our
beloved David Livingstone. These
were the men that explored and
opened up that wonderful Africa
to Britishers. Glance with me
at one of the most wonderful
chapters in history. Sir John
Franklin sails from Britain in the
year 1916 with crews picked for
the special and arduous service of
exploring the Arctic regions, and
