The Society's Emigration Work.

His lordship passed on to refer to the several new schemes to be inaugurated, and also spoke of the Society's emigration work. * 'Since I was last here," he said, "I have crossed the little duckpond again, and have been m Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and all I can say is this — I should not wish for a more glorious home for our children." Canada would probably m the future be the nation that would control the fate of the world -^- a nation looking through the Rocky Mountains to Japan, and through Japan back to the old country. "We have the making of that country m our hands, and what .could we do better than sending over Christian boys and girls that we have brought up m the Waifs and Strays Homes ?" In Canada they did not want people who would "grouse" against everything Canadian; and m this connection the Bishop told, of a man who was "always grousing at everything Canadian" m Toronto. "But," said somebody, "the people of Toronto kept you for the whole of last winter when you had no work." "What if they did," replied the "grouser," "We owns W" "What we want," the Bishop concluded, "is to send an army of self-reliant, God-fearing patriotic, and sensible young men and. women across there to build tip . the ne-w nation. I do not know any Society with which I am connected which with a more absolutely clear conscience I can commend to you as for the country, creditable to the Church, and most pleasing to Jesus Christ. We are all thinking of a Coronation gift for our King at his Coronation this summer. Let us make a glorious gift of an increasing number — more than those four thousand children already— as the Coronation gift to the King of kings. .
