CONCLUSION.

OUR fathers won this vast empire during the last 150 years by furthering to the best of their ability what they deemed their country's welfare.

If we are to wield our great power for the good of the many millions of fellow-men entrusted to our rule, we must show by our deeds that we are not merely richer and stronger, but wiser and better than other

races.

By sparing no efforts to lead the less enlightened to "purer, nobler modes of life," we should make it clear to all that we are stirred by no self-seeking lust of conquest, no base greed of gain, no vulgar thirst for power and display, but by an earnest and heart-felt love of all that is unselfish and pure, of all that is manly and upright, of all that is tender and true.

So far as we mould our lives after what we know to be highest and best, we may each of us hope to do our share towards leavening the mass of our fellowcountrymen, and thereby advancing the welfare of the millions whose destinies, for good or for evil, for weal or for woe, we so largely sway.
