. . . And now we come to the present day. By their parades ye shall know them—so I say. We go to Toronto. . . . No virtues are celebrated. Not the cardinal virtues of temperance, wisdom, justice, and courage; much less the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity. Do they march to honor their forefathers who carved a country from a land so far-flung, where only brave and determined labor could wrest a living from summers so short and winters so long? No, never. Their forefathers at best embarrass them. At worst, they are objects of scorn. Why are they marching? What god do they worship? . . .
