DAY OF SENTIMENT.
Ceremonies in Cemeteries School of
Patriotism for Both Old
and Young.

On every national anniversary, eX-
cept Memorial day, we deal with things
Of life, rather than of death.
On Independence day we celebrate the
nations birth; on Washington and Lin
coin days the birth anniversaries of its
immortal patriots; on Thanksgiving
day the fullness and blessings of ma
tional prosperity.
On Memorial day alone We give pause
for tears; On this hallowed anniversary
we weave chaplets for the nations
glorious dead.
And how glorious they are-these
myriad sleeping soldiers-and how the
glory of their deeds magniies with the
years!
We, the living, add not at all to their
Immortality in history with our flow
ers, our prayers and our tears. But
we do add something of priceless value
to our own lives by the customs of
Memorial day. We turn these sacred
hours into a symphony of patriotism.
The benediction of to-day's flower
strewn mounds is for the living; it is
an oasis in the storms of life; a level
ing occasion when the finer sentiments
ereep into the souls of American men
and women.
And the nations cemeteries are to-
day the greatest school of patriotism for
old and young that we have. For true
patriotism counts not death, if through
death the nation shall find life and
health.
No nation is in peril that has such a
Memorial day as we have. The living
will carry on the work that these heroes
gave their lives for.
On Memorial day we come back
from forgetfulness to the realities.
We know why these soldiers died, and
we VOW that their sacrifice shall not
be in vain.
This nation has been carried
through all it's real perils by a citizen
soldiery, as distinguished from the
mercenary militarism Of other ma
lions.
American patriotism is something
apart. The simple flag that is more
than ever a world emblem of liberty
has no parallel as an inspirer OF he
roic deeds.
There are those who place sordid
gain above sentiment, and care for our
prosperity only for individual profit.
But the heart of real America beats
true in every crisis. No foe, open or
secret, can successfully measure
swords with the national conscience.
And this is the real lesson of Me-
mortal day. So long as we honor our
soldier dead we will honor u coun-
try.
Memorial day gives perspective.
The lettering Grand Army veteran,
and the 1isping boy with cap and
drum and flag, are the visible ex-
tremes of a common unity of patri'
otism.
P~assionless, the remnants OF former
contending armies unite in a common
sorrow and a common hope. The
blue and gray are not less hallowed
because time is blending them.
The season of natures renewal is
ittingly the season when this and
future generations will yearly deco
rate the graves of American soldiers.
And though none of these sleepers
hears the bugle call, each is taken
again to the national heart by the
fresh flowers in his "windowless pal
ace of rest"

A LAND or OPPORTUNITIES.

A recent number of the Winnipeg

"Just now there is a keener inter.

claims of the Canadian West as a field

cap.
1.-THE inducements held out by West.
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
IN progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably
certain is borne out by the history Of
the country and its residents. The
promise Of gain is powerful, but when
added to it there is the prospect of a
corresponding social and civil eleva.
ton, 1t should prove irresistible to
young men of a particularly desirable
class for any new country.
'The Canadian West is alive with
opportunities for the young man who
aims at becoming more than a mere
atom in the civil and national fabric.
Some Of the eager young fellows who
arrive on the prairies daily are des-
tined to become more than merely
prosperous farmers. In the near flu.
ture great municipal and provincial
development will be in the hands of
the people. The stepping stone to
both financial prosperity and civil
prominence is, and will be, the farm.
Fol every professional opening there
are hundreds Of agricultural openings.
The Canadian prairies are teeming
with opportunities for the honest and
Industrious of all classes, but they
are specially inviting to the ambitious
young man who seeks a field for the
energy and ability which he feels in
herent within him. The familiar cry
OF Back to the soil!" Is more than
a vain sounding phrase when applied
to Western Canada"
