PREFACE
In Western Canada there is to be seen
to-day that most fascinating of all human phenomena, the making of a
nation. Out of breeds diverse in traditions, in ideals, in speech, and
in manner of life, Saxon and Slav, Teuton, Celt and Gaul, one people is
being made. The blood strains of great races will mingle in the blood of
a race greater than the greatest of them all.
It would be our wisdom to grip these
peoples to us with living hooks of justice and charity till all lines of
national cleavage disappear, and in the Entity of our Canadian national
life, and in the Unity of our world-wide Empire, we fuse into a people
whose strength will endure the slow shock of time for the honour of our
name, for the good of mankind, and for the glory of Almighty God.
C.W.G.
WINNIPEG, CANADA, 1909.
