LE LONG DU SENTIER 



therefore I took the money you were 

 kind enough to give me and gave it to 

 have a mass said. Behold ! ' ' 



A well-nigh forgotten writer, whom I 

 must quote from memory, among other 

 thoughtful sayings has this : "He who, 

 in the defence of his religion, forgets 

 charity, abandons the citadel for the 

 sake of the outworks." The citadel 

 abandoned, is anything left worth de- 

 fending ? And if the citadel be held, are 

 the outworks a matter of any great con- 

 cern ? Approach Quebec with a tolerant 

 and unbigoted mind ; you need not jour- 

 ney far to discover the living principle 

 that animates any religion worth the 

 having, that fruit of the tree whereby 

 ye shall know it. 



Join me as we light our after-break- 

 fast pipes on a pleasant Sunday morn- 

 ing in the woods. We are back in the 

 brave old days when a new lake lies 

 beyond every range, and the spirit will 

 not rost until it is found. A long tramp
