All o! us are looking ito the New Year, wonderIngly. Just naw we see thle black clouds o! bioody war, and we bear the nw!ui noise a! giant guns. But many of us are iooklng beyond these drend- AIfui tiies - toward dnys wben I~LPence shall have -returned and qjwlen we shail be rebulldlng what 'Jas been destroyed., To-day I bava feit incliiâedta give my reüders a picture o! a fpenceful village - Dreanrthorp. The very nome, 'Dreamtharp', is a sleepy one, suggestive of com- pasure and infinite peace. It la o! course aninvented naine- a con- cealing naine, yet a very happy name, It'ig also the. name o! a book, by Alexander Smith, a Scots jaurnallst who !iourished, hi his native land, in the 60's o! last century. The sub-title o! the book is "'A Book o! Essays Writ- ten In the Country." I have feit that the re-teiling o! Smith's de- scription o! Dreamthorp might liave a welcome as "escape" rend- ing - somethig ta take Our minds away from the terribleness o! the war wbieh is dcstroying the cities and hamiets and meadows and roadsides o! Britain, and which is impasing miseries be- yond the power a!o words ta tell o! on countiess thousands o! persans and families in Britain and Europe, Asia and Africa, and whicb. have cmssed the Atlantic ta put sarraw and distress into many homes in Canada and the United States, and which are put- ting heavy burdens on ail o! us - burdens which will be passed on ta the, generatian which !ollows us who are now aive. J C X It was on a summer evening, says Alexander Smith, about the hour a! eight, tînt I firat beheld Dreamtharp, with its westward- looking windows paited by sun- set, its children piaying in the single straggling street, the ma- thers knitting at the opendoors, the fathers standing about in long whiite blouses, chatting or smok- ing; the great tawer o! the ruined castle rising higih ito the rosy air, witli a wlole troop o! swaliows - by distance made as small as gnats - skimming about uts renta and fissures. When I !irst beheld ail this, I feitinstinictively that my knaf)sack miglit be taken off my shoulders,, that my tired feet might wander no more, tiat at last, an this planiet, I bad found n home. From that evening I have dwelt liere, and the anly jaurney that I amn like noW ta make is the very inconsiderable one, s0 f ar at least as distance is concern- ed, from the bouse which I live in ta the grayeyard beside the ruin- ed castie. There, witl the former inliabitants a! the place, I trust ta sleep quietly enougli, and nature, will drnw aver aur beads ber covelet of. green SOd, and tender- ly tuck us i as a motier ber sleeping ones, s0 that fia -sound froni thc world shahl ever rendh us, and fia sarrow troubDle us any mare. The place suits my wbim, and I like it better year a!ter year. IGREETINGSi for the NEW YEAR BD WAN VILLE1 DAIRY Phçne 446 As with everythig else since I began ta love it I find 1! gradually growing beautiful. My village is, I thinis, a specini favorite o! suni- merls. Summer bas adorned my village as gâMly, and taken* as muci plenmn',e i the task, as the people o! aid, wben Elizabeth was qucen, took I thé adorniment 'o! the Mny-poie agahist a summer festival. Ad, juat tink, fiat anly Dreanrthorp, but* alo everyr Eng- lisb village she bas made beauti- fui a!tcr one fasiion or another - making vivid green the 1111 slope on wbieh traggling Welsh bain- lets bang right opposite the sea; drowning I applc-blassam the red Sussex ones in the fat vailey. And tbink, once more,, every spear o! grass in England she bas touci- ed. with'a livelier green; the crest o! every bird she las burnislied; every aid wall between the four sens bas received ber moÈsy and licheny attention; every noak in every foreat she, bas sown witl pale flowers, every marsh she bas dashcd with the tires of the mari- gold. And in tlie wanderfui night the moon knows, she hangs - the planet an which so many millions o! -us ight and sin and agonize and die - n sphene o! glow-worm liglit. JC in summer 1 spend a goad deal o! time !loating about the lake. The lake contains three islands, ench witl a solitary tree, and on these islands the swans breed. I !eed the birds daily witb bits a! bread. The green pasture lands run down ta the edge of the water, and into it in the aternaons the red kine wade and stand knee- deep, surroundcd by traops a! flics. Patienthy the hanest crea-9 tures abide the attacks a! their tormentors. The saf t blue beav- enly abysses, the wandering1 streams o! vapan, the long beach-i es a! ippled chauds, are ghassedj and repeated in the lake. Drean-g tiorp là sulent as a picture; thei voices o! children are mute; and the smoke !rom the bouses, the Mlue piliars aIl sloping in one angle, fIciat upward ns if in sleep. Flaating about thug, time passes swiftly, for befare I knaw wbere I ami, the kine have withdrawn frani the lake ta coucli an the herbage, while anc on a littie beigbt is lowing for the mlkmaid and lier pails. Along the rond I see the labourers coming home for supper, while the sun setting belind me makes the village win- dows blaze; and sa I take my aars and pull leisurely tîraugl waters fnintly flusled witl evening cal- ours. J cK Besides the itinerant lecturer and the permanent library we lave the Sunday sermon.
