bar of Montreal. which is you under stand, the executive position of the bar.
 Between the bar of Canada and that of the United States" MT. Elliott said. Tong ago there was established a very harmonious and agreeable fellowship, which has opened an interchange of ideas-of comity, if you will-whicn has been invaluable in many ways The bar of Montreal is constantly in viting the bars of your various states to come within our gates, while the compliment is returned in equally as delightful manner, thus each receives and assimilates the laws and the great principles of the two countries, foster ing feeling between them that should obtain in intelligent minds, namely the greatest good for the greatest number which cannot fail to be of import to both.
 Your American Bar association" MT. Elliott said, 'in it's multiple meet ings has had many distinguished wis itors and speakers, and on one occa- sion may remark that the lord chan cellor of England, Lord Haldane, was guest of the association. The lord chancellor, who is technically de- scribed as the keeper of the kings conscience,' never was known on any occasion before to leave England dur ing his term of office, and thus his visit was epochal, in that it established a precedent At that time Lord Hal dane read a paper admitted to contain the great fundamental principles that are now embodied in the hopedfor league of nations, thus preventing war again and maintaining perpetual peace and harmony among the intelligent
 peoples of the world.
 "One of the memorable occasions of my life," said Mr. Elliott was the pleasure afforded me last year whe I was invited to the American Bar as- sociation, which met in Cleveland I
 represented at that time the Bar of
 Montreal and the Canadian bar, which is similar organization in Canada to your American Bar association had the privilege at that time of ad dressing the association.
 (Which is a long road to Kiwanfs" MT. Elliott said very delightfully."-. but not so long when one thinks that the slogan of Kiwanis Is perhaps more applicable to the law than almost any
 other profession, service and the prac- tice of the golden rule As the law does it in it's own technical way, so does Kiwanis bring it specifically into l it's commercial and social life, leading I to the upbuilding by such uniform
 thought and action as must be for the benefit of the community in which it's clubs exist.
 q became affiliated with Kiwanfs 4n
 1916" said MT Elliott becoming
 president that year of the Montreal Kiwanis club and serving as president for two years. At Providence last year 1 I was elected on the board of trustees
 for two years"
 1 And Birmingham-Pd adore to know if you'll refer to our city as sxn = other milestone in your successful and eventful career, for they do say, you know, that you are scheduled to be the next international Kiwanis presi- dent" I just couldn't help saying. | But MT. Elliott merely smiled his ir-
 resistible and delightful smile, for he is far too big a lawyer and far too clever a man to tell "mere woman anything as important as that before it appears in the daily newspapers!
