_Prince Edward Island,

Canada, September 29th, 1911.

My Dear Wlgram, `

I have not sent you 8, line for some weeks, and much has ha/ppened to ns- in the interval. We found our son .from Saskatchewan, not met for over 6 Yee-re, could not come to see us in England, so we resolved to come here to-meet him ere we' turned our faces Eastward again, with all the changes and chances of,life and service there before us. ~You know what such re- ‘lnlolll mean. We sailed from Bristol on Saptclnbsr 6th in the "Royal George,” a line Canadian liner of 18.000 tons. We had over 1000 pas- sengers and more than 500 in the eteerage, including 54 S. A. Emi- grants, under an S. A.'Captain in the Und BIRDS, Bild a "Times" Corres- pondent seeking ‘-‘CoDy" as to the conditions of steerage life on 5,Can- adlan liner for emigrants, and" as 1 heard. well satisfied with his experi- ences. We had too on board the 8 officers and the gunners of the Royal Canadian Artillery who had done so well in competition with the Home batteries of territorials. An Atlantic voyage is too short to enable ane to get to know anybody well. But we made many acquaintances, some friends, and learned much from- well- lnformed persons, ss to Canada, ber politics, economics, commerce, trade, railways, prospects, relations to th: Empire, Church life and Missions. We had on board some distinguished Can adians whose fulness of knowledge greatly impressed me. One in parti- cular from Ottawa, with the help ol his 1909 Government map, of great dimensions, spread -out in the ship- library, gave me information on Can- ada. her achievements, possibilities and prospects, such as I could have

.gained in no other way. We had on

"'“°b’6a,rd‘f old settlers returning after re-

vl_lltiug.1zhe home country. One couple fl‘ot`1i‘Dntario had not been in .Eng-

lifid for 52 years. He sailed from Pyinouth in a sailing-vessel and took 37 days for the voyage. The mail boats now take 6 days. We car- ried 500 bags of mails. On Sunday morning, September 10th, we had a full attendance in the lst saloon-sew Vice, which I took, alone, no other clergyman on board. A 2nd service arranged for 8 p.m. in the stecragc, was anticipated by the S. A. Cap- tain, and I joined them before his was over, and cancelled ours. A cornct- playee among the S. A. did yeomnn service throughout our voyage. On Qhmejtormy days on those grey seas his music, with strong voices, singing in parts, came floating over the decklfwlth “Abide with me,” “Lead Kindly Light," “Nearer My God to Thee." On Sunday morning he play- ed for half an hour before breakfast and it was nie church-heirs at see. I thanked him for his help to us all,

as he gripped my hand. I had asked B BID llt brother to read the les- sons in our morning service, but he wasoq his back in his bunk when the tlml' dime. We had rather a, tryilng time of wind and sea, with dark logs od Nllloundiand and an iceberg, ghoitllh, drifting past us, in the mist, very near by, and others were not lik off, as the Captain feared, for we steamed only 15 miles in four hours, 'slowed down, testing the tem- perature of the water. 0ur.ty,pe of

enllvatits, if n fair a_verage, was re- 'mar ably good. _An American passen- ger ‘la 'd' to me that he had never lesn ,Blish good specimens in Ameri- can and -German liners for the States. The _Qhiiadlan Government exercise a watchful, supervision over all incom- era, and this may insure the exclu- slonqf uudqslrables. U.\B. A. does the earns, but they appear to draw

mqreaggntinintal emigrants, and Gan- a a.: itish.

downs at their best, esttlc, horses, farm produce, all of a high standard of excellence. The green pastures, with hedges, are very home like, and contrast with the 7 mile fields of the far North West. The red soil re- minds 'us of Somerset or N. Devon, and the snug- homesteads, barns, and houses, all built. of wood are dotted all over the country-side.

The people, many of whom have

never been on the mainland, live the Simple life, and are strenuous, indus- trious and most loyal to the British throne»and flag. I saw in Charlotte- town, the busy sea~port Capital of P. E. I. (12,000 population), a line bronze statue to Canadian soldiers who fell fighting at Paairdeberg, South Africa, February 1900. ,The in- scription is a brief testir;nony,~ elo- quent of the spirit of the Canadizm people. "To manifest to all the world the ability and willingness of? Canada to share with the Motherland the du- ties and responsibilities of Empire.” Is mot that a true Imperial note? As Mr. A. Fisher, the Australian Pre- mier said lately, "the relation of the Dominions to one another and to the Empire i's as that of the Planets in' their orbits, round the central sun, each with their own functions, and with their centripctal relation."

I have been here in this momentous

recent general election. I drove in with our host, Mr, F.`W. Haslam, brother of our Kungra fellow-workers, to the polling booth on the 21st. Scores of settlers from the whole country-si-de were there on the same errand, The Dominion has all her el- ections on one day, and the general results are known by mid-night of the same day, and this is in a country so Vilsli 85 this. With a Population of something over 7 millions. You have ‘-0112 ago heard the result. It has as- conishcd the world, and not least the Canadians themselves. After 15 years of odice, Sir W. Laurier and his cab- inet are out of power, and 6 of the ministers, including Mr. Fielding, the most prominent, who negotiated re- ciprocity, ars unsested. Few Canar dinns but recognized the advantages of “Reciprocity/’ and free trade in many products. nnd lowered terms on others, with the U. S. A. But Can- ada. while quite friendly with the States, would forego all these ‘inter- trade advantages, rather than risk her possible independence in too close political relations with U. S. A., cn- dangering as many feared her close union with the Mother Country. Not a few have said to me, “What will- England say?" I believe it is an not of fine, unselfish Patriotism. The in- terest in the election has been re- markable. Thousanrls `of life-long Liberals have voted for the Conser- vatives on this occasion, and the majority of the latter over the Lih- erals in votes has been over 50,000, as compared with the 17,000 major- ity polled by Liberals in 1908. In this Island they have total prohibi- tion oi into icants for sale, by n gen- eral Plebisclle of the people. Tem- perance meetings abound to keep'tho voters up to the mnrk. I attended one such with over 300 present, and had to ascend thc platform, and make a reluctant speech on A. T. A. Work lu India-, of which I should know more. Automobiles are forbidden ton. The roads are na-rrow, and the chauf- fenrs were indifferent to public safe- ty, so that the Island legislature (for there is one) repressed them wholly.

Our Church does not hold the front

rank numerically in these Maritime Provinces. She has devoted clergy, numerous church members, and n growing work, but the Presbyterians ‘and Methodists outnumber her. A proposal to unite the Presbyterians, Methodists, and; Congregation-als is now a-foot. People respond heartily to the Church services provided for them and I have been present at well- lled church services. In Charlotte- town, we had the privilege of calling on an honored member of St. Paul's Church, of_which the Rev. T.W. Mur- hy, Mrs. Haslam's brother-in-law, is Rector. This church member has been for 75 -years connected with St. Pa.ul’s Sunday School, from 4 years old to 78, as pupil and superintendent, the

lying further to the West, and the Pacific Ocean, is beyond. What 5, des- tiny"this vast country with its room for population may have before lt.

We hope later to visit Montreal, the

great commercial capital with its half million of people, an-d Toronto, a University city, with 300,000. We sail from New York in late October, if all be well.

"Anne of Green Gables," and "Anne of Avonlea/"I Both give an admir- able idea of life‘in this Island com- munity. To us everything is of great novelty and interest. I think I have wearied you enough with my long letter, but I hope it may be of inter- est to bear more af a lnnd which has given Missionaries to Japan and Chi- na and to us in the Punjab where we have valued fellow workers from these shores, and the Canadian Presbyteri- an ~Mission in Indore has many friends in the Domfnion. .

RECOLLECTIONS OF

67 YEARS AGO.

The following interesting history of this Province sixty-seven years ago was furnished The Guardian by the late James Grigg, of West Devon:-

I spent my childhood days at. my

father’s home in Trout River, Lot 13, P.E.I. When nearing' my majority I thought oi looking out for a home of my own and acting on the advice of Greely, ":Youug man go West,” I started on my westward journey. The first four miles were very crooked and rough and reached the westward road, newly made, that extended from Miscouche to Tignlsh, a. dis- tance of about forty miles. When 1 had gone about five miles on the road I came to a small tent about large enough to shelter one man. It ap- peared that the man had at the time deserted his improvement: But in f. few years he returned and commenced clearing land for the farm which is` now in the possession of John Smith. Two miles further on I came to, a in-rge barren that had been burnt over by bush-fire. Probably the men who opened the road had started thc -fire. 'l`he place is now covered with n woods. A little further on, about a mile, I came to R lake. It -covered about 3 acres and was 6 feet deep with about the same amount of mud

ed about half-way between Portage River on thc west and Percival River on the cast, 3 miles from water to water. Some fifty years ago, when juniper roots were in such great de- mand for shipbuilding purposes, I saw a lumiber yard on the lake ice. The workmen would root the trees out, cut them the proper length and haul them in the rough. Broad-axe men would then dress them for ship- mont. They were taken all sizes and sent to the' United States. Two miles further on a man w-as building a small log-house for the accommoda- tion of travellers: The place was named 'l‘raveller's Rest. This man was an emigrant from England. He landed in Charlottetown and had then gone to Little York where he spent some time working for the farmers. He had been a farm laborer in the Old Country. During the four- teen miles I travelled I don't remem- ber secing one individual on the road. At the end of the next six miles I came to a grist mill. 'It was owned by Peter Carrel, a mill-wright, who came from Charlottetown. His cus- tomers had to travel by water route for there was no roads at that time.

Although some self-seekers deviatl from this great principle yet thema- iority of the people believe in it and respect it: Thanks should also be offered foe the ruling principles of the Emlllfi. lor the just constitution and lawil by which wo are governed. The laws of tho Empire are not the work of ai!! one mnn or any one age but havl been the development of centuries of ‘law-making. The ultimate object d ull the legislation is the betterment of the people especially the common people. There is no country in the world that _hns better government than the British Empire and there is no country in the world where tha people are better able to govern themselves. ' The latest addition about to be marie to thc British Constitution Gnd llnws is “Home Rule" which is now being pnssed by the British Parlia- ment., Canada is a. self-governing country and there are no more law- nbiding citizens in the Empire; Can- adians are thc most progressive peo- ple in thc world. Immigrants are coming to Canada from all nations nud they are helping to build n new nation; a nation that has a bright and happy future before it. Canada is making great advances and shall soon take her place with the other nations of the world in the great ‘rhannels of trade and commerce. And although the lure of -the West ia proving too strong a temptation for some to rcsist Prince Edward Island-

s should rejoice and be glad that or sons are not migrating to any foreign nation. Let us hope then not the exodus of population from he "Garden of the Gulf" shall sool;

stopped, _ ----<-- -

that a new ern. shall soon

dawn on the people of this fair land that they shall see the value of their own land and work for the better- ment of the nation. we should love our country and wish well to it and respect the just ‘uws by which we are governed and honor our King and our Flag under whose folds may Canada prosper for 1::-nr-rritions to come.
