Rev. Alexander Macintosh respond |
ed to the toast, THE Land We Live
In. Immediately following the skirl OF
the pipes. His speech was substantial
ly as follows;
Even that lovely martial music we
heard will not drive out OF my head
the toast. Here we are all living with
the idea Of enjoying ourselves as we
do in the old land. This beautiful land
that requires even the glorious verse
OF Bobbie Burns to eXtoll Its beauty. To
us who have lived here almost since
the time of semi barbarous times to
the present To think we are in this
country striving to make the country
shine and make It as bright as posi-
bye. Is good thought, and who knows
but some day we may have a Bobbie
Burns to cXtOll the land of palm trees
the land we live in. We are having
great change over the land at the
present time. | wonder what will take
place in the future? Whether we will
have these old things wiped out alto

sic of the pipes, which have so re-
Gently heard in the land whence we
sprang. 1t makes one feel that even this
land must derive something from that
rocky country which resembles so
much this country we live in.
We want to cement that bond of
friendship which we have brought here
to this land. There is no tic so strong
ms that which the Scots feel toward
each other, even in this land we live

of Scotland, the poems of Bobbe Burns
and Sir Walter Scott make us feel we
have sprung from land of which We
can well be proud. We want to keep
It grand before the world. Where
Scotland is there Is truth, as we have
heard tonight.

The Land O Burns was coupled
with the name of DIR. A. n. Sinclair.
He said he thought there could not be
more eloquent tribute to the land OF
Burns than that which had issued
from the threats OF the gentlemen
present. He referred TO the history
OF the land, to her great men and her
magnificent annals. He said the Scot
was TO be found wherever the advance
of civilization had set a mark, and
there the energy and courage of the
Highlander had made the race the
foremost Of pioneers. In the mechani-
cal arts and in science the observing
trait OF the Scot had made the repre-.
sentatives of the race the foremost in
every branch that they entered. Pay
ing a tribute to one OF their most illus.
trious Countrymen, Sir William
| Thompson, he told a humorous story
OF that scientist.
