In+Memoriam

[|The first official use came in 1906, when the phrase was engraved on the head of the mace of the Legislative Assembly of the new Province of Saskatchewan. This would be known to Joseph Pope, undersecretary of state at the time, and the phrase evidently impressed him. In 1919 Pope was named to a 4-member committee appointed by the federal government to recommend a new design for the Arms of Canada. No motto was included in the old design, but one was to be included in the new arms. A draft design, which included the motto, was approved by Cabinet in April 1921 and by King George V in May. Major-General W.G. Gwatkin, one of the committee members, had proposed that the motto be] [|In memoriam] [| in spem ("In memory, in hope"), but Pope's counterproposal was adopted. On 29 September 1921, after viewing the final design, he wrote in his diary: "Our Arms are very handsome ... everything that can be desired. The motto 'A Mari usque ad Mare,' which is an original suggestion of my own, I regard as very appropriate."] ||  || [|Among the cherished faces pictured on memory's walls; among familiar voices that sound in memory's halls, the loving face of mother is the dearest face I see, the gentle voice of mother had the sweetest sound to me.] || *created by: Catalina Vergilis ||
