"The nineteenth centurybe-
nnciul in thfi'TInlted. States: the
Cankda." ' J
This is the attlutde of the peo
ple Of Canada according to
Prof. E. E. DeCou, who address
ed the Methodist 13rdth4riiodd
at their monthly meeting fMtm
day evening at the fchurci. Can
ada, he said, has now a popula
tion of eight millions) compared
to the 100 millions of the United
States. This population, how
ever, is increasing rapidly, and
it is estimated that v.ithin the
next 30 to 50 years the popula
tion will be 100 millions. The
last great undeveloped territory
of the north American continent
is Canada.
Profesor DeCou traced some-
thnig of the history of Canada,
showirig that Its loyalty' to rEiig-
la'rid is' a sentimental one, that
is fodhded on the fact that Eng
land Has lfved;uprtbrher 'treaty

West.he English-speaking peo
ple prevail, and in sbriie sections
of the newer West in Alberta
and Saskatchewan Americans
predominate.
The intermixing of people
from both sides of the line has
brought about a friendly feel
ing, but .iroiesor ucuou pe
lieves' that loyalty to England,
together with resentment of the
Canadians at the "tariff walls
raised by the United tSates; will '
prevent annexation. In the
present war situation, Canada
looks to the United States as a
sort of an elder brother, and
has no fear that invaders will
cross the thousands of miles of
unguarded boundary.
The speaker talked, also of
the climate ..arid ; .resources, of
Canada, and. explained that, the
low passes in the Rockies, far to
the north, gave Edmonton,. 800
miles farther north than Minne
apolis, a climate that is milder
than that of the American city.
