| | Landmarks Of Canada |
 | | And now, as we begin our work, in this tercentennial year of Canada's foundation, we find our first opportunity in the proposed dedication of the greatest of all our landmarks, that world-famous one where form and spirit, heirloom and talisman, are blent, in complete perfection, on the fields of battle at Quebec. |
 | | But remember that our business depends on energy inherited and transformed ; that warriors, states-men and divines made Canada Canadian ; that all nations decay who fail in arms and art ; and that we are now particularly apt to mistake comfort for civilization. |
 | | But our Canada does need the exalting touch of every landmark that bears a living message, and that she can keep either in substance or in souvenir ; lest, seeking the whole mere world of riches, she lose her own soul. |
