...human activity and exertion that the growth of the body in material prosperity and of the soul in moral strength is made possible. Neither goodness nor wealth are of spontaneous development. With honorable success comes an honorable end. The change takes place unconsciously; we feel only the warfare; but at the end we know that God has been with us. We then realize the full meaning of the thoughts that passed through the mind of Jacob as he stood on the bank of the Jordan. The choir sang the anthem, "Turn thy face from my sins," by Attwood.

...sketched the relations of Canada with England while a colony, under the old system of navigation laws. Then only was Canada a source of prosperity to the mother country; now the dominion has become a heavy burden. Annexation did not mean war by any means, for England would not feel sorry to part with the drain upon her resources. The practical business men in Canada were all in favor of annexation; the sentimentalists alone opposed it. The resources of Canada are great, but as yet undeveloped; the amalgamation of its population and that of United States easy; their feelings, languages...
