202 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



A house divided against itself cannot stand. Three provinces 

 having common interests, torn asunder by petty jealousies, envy and 

 rivalry, cannot expect to command that respect in the Council Halls of 

 the Dominion, which would be their lot were they to send their repre- 

 sentatives forward, as voicing unitedly the will and sentiments of a 

 million of people. 



Putting aside all differences, standing shoulder to shoulder, and 

 presenting a united front, there is no reason why, before the present 

 century shall have run its course, and a century is but ay yesterday in 

 the history of an Empire, there is no reason, I reiterate, why the 

 brightest diadem in the crown of the fairest daughter of the greatest 

 Emjpire that" has been, should not be known to the world as the Pro- 

 vince of Acadia.
