 A BEAUTIFUL October day, (Wednesday 25th), will long be remembered in the 
 annals of Toronto ; for then it was that we sent our brave boys to fai-uway 
 Africa to fight the battles of the Empire. At noon the streets, always busy, 
 began to be crowded, and by two o'clock the entire line of march from the 
 Armories to the Union Station was one seething mass of humanity. Tresentlv 
 the ceremonies in the Armories will be at an end, orations made, gifts and 
 purses presented, farewells spoken, and civic will give place to military ofticialism. Now 
 out into the yellow sunlight march the troops ; as splendid a set of men as can be gatluired 
 together in any country.

 responsibility, start off up University Avenue as the advance 
 guard. Soon the waiting multitudes catch a glimpse of mounted 
 officers breaking way in advance for the coming soldiers. 
 Regiment after regiment march past. Up University, along Elm, 
 through Gerrard, down Jarvis, marching soldiers and cheering 
 people everywhere. Then comes " The man 
 on horse-back," Colonel Otter, beloved and 
 honored by his soldiers and by his fellow 
 citizens. A modest, sober man not given 
 to much talk, one can see that this tremen- 
 dous enthusiasm and the heartfelt blessings 
 
 from a hundred thousand loyal hearts move him deeply. 
 
 Close behind their leader the brave boys of the African 
 
 Contingent are marching. Strong, manly young fellows with tte 
 
 daring spirit of adventure evident in their very motions. A 
 
 little red eyed too, some of them, which is not to their discredit.

 ones find it hard to say good-bye. Without doubt to-night in 
 
 many a Toronto home there will be sleepless vigils kept as tlu^ 
 
 lon^ weary separation begins. 
 
 But just now we are on King Street, and we must not think 
 
 too much about the tears and good-byes 
 
 and loving hearts separated forever. We 
 
 are giving our African Contingent a real 
 
 Canadian God-speed, and while private 
 
 good-byes must be said, just now it is the 
 
 Queen City herself that wishes to speak. 
 A hundred thousand people in the streets; all doors and windows 
 filled ; men and boys crowding the roofs and every inch of stand-

 ity. Such cheering ! And cheer that sounds a new strange note, 
 for the hearts of Canadians are beating to larger and nobler

 and roll of drum, the wild skirling of the pipes, Hasli of color 
 and glint of sunlight upon polished arms; tramp, tramp amidst 
 the roar of the multitudes, and in a moment the soldier hoys

 are nlled once more with reminders of our 
 peaceful life. 
 
 These war-like scenes are not new in 
 the history of Toronto. On the 26th of 
 April, \SV^, the city, then little more than 
 a village in the forest, was attacked from 
 
 land and water by American forces- under General Dearborn and 
 
 Commodore Chauncey. Fourteen armed vessels and 10,000 troops 
 
 against which a pitiful little garrison of 600 regulars and militia 
 
 fought with utmost bravery. For six days foreign soldiers 
 
 marched about the streets, and a foreign flag floated above the

 citiidol. Ill 1837 onco more the ulariu of battle stirred our 
 citizens; the thrilling events of the famous uprising of that year 
 are still fresh in the memory of some among our aged eiti/ens. 
 Again, a generation later, two regiments marched away from the 
 city to assist in repelling the Fenian invaiU'rs, while in the stern 
 <hivs of 1885 once more our brave boys 
 took arms and started away to the prairies 
 of the North- West co do battle for their 
 country. But never in all its history has 
 the City of Toronto witnessed a demonstra- 
 tion so remarkable in its enthusiasm, and 
 so pregnant with fateful and far-reaching significance as that of 
 the October (hiy when the boys in khaki marched away to lay 
 <lown their lives if need be on the red plains of Africa for the \ 
 sake of that vast Em})ire in whose perpetutity and well being \ 
 Canadians believe they must find their highest national destiny.

 My Dear Hon, — I was never inoro surprised than wlien T received your letter 
 inforniing me of your intention to be a soldier and go to the battle field at once. No 
 matter, dear boy, how this affects me, I will not Le guilty of making you feel sad or 
 taking the courage out of your heart at this moment, the courage you need so much to 
 keep you manly and brave. You are only following in the footsteps o! your forefather j 
 — they were all British to the core. Your great-grandfather, both your grandfathers 
 and your father, all wi're true to their king and country. 
 
 Now, dear boy, you have been well brought up ; but 
 
 I will say, be a good and obedient soldier, and resi)ect 
 your commanding ollicei'S, no matter who they are. We all 
 here will pray for you, and may our dear Lord keep you 
 and bring you back safe to us. (iood-bye, and may (iod 
 bless and protect you from danger, with love, 
 
 Yourverv affectionate J.'OTIIK]}.

 Imperial battle field a pledge of Canadian pennanoncy, loyalty 
 
 and adherence to her liritish connection. 
 
 For long years the Canadian people were practically in doubt 
 
 as to their political future. Three alternatives presented them- 
 selves. We might become independent, we miglit join the United 
 
 States, or we might continue our connection 
 
 with the British Empire. Of one fact 
 
 everybody was convinced, that we could 
 
 not long remain as we were. As soon as 
 
 Canada should develop into a great nation 
 
 her relations to the Empire must change. 
 The child grown up must go out into the world to do his part. ] 
 He cannot forever depend upon the parental protection and at 
 the same time develop his own manhood. But there was great 
 uncertainty as to the future, and this uncertainty rose from causes 
 both within and without the Dominion.

 The cxistciicc in Canada of two distinct races, side by side, 
 with distinct tradition, language, religion, created at once a 
 problem. Were these two peoples to be permanently and success- 
 fully united? If so, what was to be the type of the new nation 
 and the new citizen resulting from this union ? JIow were our 
 
 A.-H. DANGERFIELD. R. G. 
 
 laws and customs to be modified to meet 
 the delicate demands of the situation ? 
 Confederation was purely an experiment, 
 but one which even its most ardent oppon- 
 ents must admit has been fairly successful. 
 While it has not solved all our problems, 
 nor brought to us all the blessings it promised, there is no doubt 
 that the confederation of British territory on this continent into 
 one vast dominion was in many respects the most important step 
 politically the country has ever taken. .

 awakening of imperialistic sentiment among tlie Canadian people, 
 and there is no doubt that to-day our country as a whole has 
 accepted this as it- political destiny. We are to remain a part of 
 the British Empire not as a mere colony, but as an eijual and 
 responsible co-partner in the great Imperial family, and as a 
 pledge of this conviction we have made 
 our first contribution to the defence of the 
 great Empire of which we form a part. 
 The effects of this new imperialism will be 
 far-reaching. Indeed no man can [)redict 
 what it may mean in the future to Canada. 
 
 to the Empire, and to the world. . 
 
 In Canadian life and tliought, politics and commerce, it will

 one generation has changed from a frontier fort to a great 
 metropolis. Kducation and religion iiave kept pace with material 
 advancement, and the whole country east and west is thrilling 
 with new life. 
 
 The vast impulse given to mining has 
 also had its effect. Foreign capital is turn- 
 ing this way, and not only throughout tiie 
 Empire hut throughout the world, investors 
 are beginning to appreciate Canada as a 
 profitable and safe field in which to place 
 their money. 
 It will be a great day when Canadian politics feels the full 
 
 force of the Imperial idea. To the most casual observer it must 
 
 be clear that the new-world politics cannot compare in dignity, 
 
 sobriety and progressiveness, with the politics of Great Britain.

 marked by the j)urity and hif>h character of the present. The-se 
 
 are the results of a long and troublous evolutions, an<l nobody 
 
 doubts that in the future both Canadian and American ])olitical 
 
 life will tend to im[)rove. Ah'anwhile it 
 
 ought to l)e the great ambition of every 
 
 true Canadian to lift our politics from the 
 
 stifling and meagre atmosphere of a narrow 
 
 parochialism into a large and generous 
 
 imperialism. Henceforth ( 'anadian electors 
 cannot confine their attention to the petty details and undignified 
 s»|uabblings of purely local affairs. They must acpiaint themselves 
 with the vast world movements which affect the Empire in the 
 east and in the south, in Australia and Africa and the islands of 
 the sea. They must be able to intelligently discuss foreign policies,

 If, drunk with sight of power, be loose 
 Wild Tongues that have not Thee in awe, 
 
 Such boasting as the G' .tiles u.-c, 
 Or lesser breeds without the law, 
 
 Lord God of Hosts be with us yet. 
 
 Lest we forget, lest we forget ! 
 
 For heathen heart that puts her trust 
 
 In reeking tube and iron shard. 
 All valiant dust that builds on dust. 
 
 And guarding calls not Thee to guard, 
 For frantic boast and foolish word, 
 Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord ! — Amen.

 sense of solidarity, j)olitical, commercial, intellectual, and moral 
 it will form a bulwark against the insidious advance of corruption
