that IT must have been all right. The

Difficulties Of the Law Maker.


None better know than you how diff
ficult it is to be guided by petition
from a constituency and. at the same
time, to be governed by protest re-
garding the same matter, and none bet
ter know than you of the profound
doubt which fills our minds, and which
filled your minds in years gone by, as
to whether the people at home, whom
we represent, as they read the record,
are preparing to say to us or our re-
turn, well done thou good and faithful
servant or whether they are even
now expressing themselves in other
scriptural terms quite as emphatic,
quite as full of meaning, yet much less
comfortable to listen to, and whether
the words Of the Litany, Good Lord
deliver us, good Lord deliver us, are
becoming household expression, as
they read the daily accounts of our do
ings liere. However that may be- feel
that the best hope which could ex.
press for this assembly is that, when
in after years, if we return to survey
the condition prevailing at that time
we may be as we'll satlsred and content
with the record of the Thirty-second
General assembly as you should be at
this time in surveying the result OF
your work years ago."
