F _ 'The Only Way- So here among the stately pines My soul in joy takes wing. \nd upward, onward, to thy throne My song of praise shall sing. \ In Chefoo there is a company of business men who have formed a .1.)- cal Chinese Independent Church. Due to the efforts of these men there has been a most unique conversion in the new model prison. The con- vert was at one time chief of the po- lice. a highly educated gentleman, but Mr conniving at an attempt. to smuggle contraband opium he was sentenced to six years‘ imprison- ment. He became interested in the Gospel. and signified his desire to be baptized. Two elders of the Inde- pendent Church went to the prison. And in the days of toil ahead N ew strength shall come to me, For ’neath the lonely pines: toâ€"day My heart has met with thee! Ah. well I know thy love supreme Thy children’s every need EUCiI‘CIBS, as a mother’s care, Her child to clothe and feed! Thou art my Father! Why should I Thy presence fear to seek" Thou knowest my every faltering Lhought But what-is man that thou shoul‘dst deign To hear his humble 0311? How can I meet thee unabashed, Who art the Lord of all? Fly upward, 011', and speed afar! Return no more tO-day! For here among the bending pines About) with GOt‘l‘I stay. Alone with God among the pines! No sound of human life! And all my thoughts, so crowded full Of anxious care and strife, To songs of praise to One above Whose ear bends low to hear 'The whisper 0f the lonely pines, The Sparrows jay or fear. And now and then a sweet bird note, Now faint, now nearer heard, Makes music with the whirring trees, And nature’s heart is stirred The graceful {bend of slender trunks, The softly stirring green. Make quick reply to nature’s call Through hurrying winds unseen. JOHN McGOWAN The Peopie sf Mill Durham Ont ‘ . IN THE CATHEDRAL PIN-ES (Mrs. Helen Smith Perkins.) .Alone with God among the pines!

Protestant and Presbyterian Church in Europe, and was a bulwark of Presbyterianism in the East. It had over 2,400 congregations, with a membership of two and a half mil- lions. In consequence of the treaty one and a quarter millions were broken off from the Hungarian Church. Shall a man live again?

Friend with others. w M A cheery-hearted member of a brotherhood meeting was singing his favorite hymn “I’ve Found a Friend,” quite forgetting that. his little son was standing near.

Believing that every organization which stands fOr good citizenship should do all in its power to bring about a more law-abiding spirit, the General Federation of Women’s Clubs is seeking to make widely known the new scientific motion pic- ture entitled “Safeguarding the Na- tion.” The purpose of this film is to make the citizen realize that alco- ho] is his personal enemy; that its iuse, even in small quantities, inter- feres with his efficiency, and so less sens his income, his health, his hepâ€"i piness. Such knowledge, effectively given, will do more, it is felt, to bring about a willingness and a desire to have the prohibition law enforced than any other one step that can be taken.

In the preface to the last edition of his ‘Systematic Theologx” Dr. .A. H.

' The minimizing or denial of the virgin birth of Christ is a good first ,step in this direction. The denial of mir- acles and the resurrection makes a second.

Although Inspector Pellow of Godâ€" erich- has long since characterized the report. of the coffins of booze be- ing buried at Dungannon with sol- emn funeral rites as a piece of ab- surd fiction, the story still persists. The Listowel Banner and The Pion- eer are the latest to give it credence. The yarn was too highly imaginative in the first place to receive ready ac-, cept'ance and it only needed the ofi'i- cial denial-of Inspector Pellow to put it in its proper classification. Baron Munchausen may be dead, but he is still survived by many lusty heirs. It is now up to the chap who started the yarn on its rounds to think of another one. The hired man was a Southerner and had been in Capt. Morrell’s em- ploy for some time. Apart from this, little is known of him around Sag- inaw. From the particulars given in the newspaper clipping it appears that when Capt. Morrell did not come in for his supper his wife sent the little girl out to the barn to see what was keeing him. When the girl got to the barn she saw the hired man pitching some straw into a stall and on seeing her the man ordered her away. The girl returned to the house and acquainted her mother with the facts. Overcome with fear, Mrs. Morrell did not care to go to the barn alone and immediately sum?- moned the assistance of a neighbor. As they approached the barn they saw the man running away, as though afraid to meet them. On entering the barn they saw a pair of feet sticking out from under the straw, and on pulling the straw away were horrified to find the dead body of the captain, while a crow-bar, which had apparently been used to inflict the deadly. blow was lying on the floor near the stall. The neigh- bors and the pOlice were notified and the hired man was quickly overtaken. and captured in a cornfield. [EOMB‘MBAFORD m . . > - ' ,, ‘ MURDERBD IN STA‘BE From a Michigan paper particulars are learned, of‘ the tragic death. of Capt. W.

On Monday this was done and Campbell was sentenced to three months hard labor at the county jail. “Dr. Marsh gives each winter a course of lectures which are very larger attended and much appreci- ated. The revenue from these lec- tures goes to the benefit of the church.” “At the time of my leaving the island a few months ago, the Dr. had set the instrument on a good foun- dation in a stone building belonging to the church and it is now practi- cally ready to record earthquakes. “Desiring first-hand information, I visited the Manse and on making myself and my wishes known, Dr. Marsh showed me a splendidly in- stalled astronomical transit and tel.â€" eSCOpe_ equipped with modern. at- tachments for solar, planetary and astro-physical work, which he not, only himself enjoys, but allows {thousands of others to enjoy. From ithese instruments the time is taken 'from the stars to 1-100 of a second. Thus the Bermudas are privileged to have as accurate time as any part of the world. Shortly after Dr. Marsh came to the Bermudas, he was asked by the authorities ,to res- urrect, if possible, a Milney seismo- graph, that had been erected some years ago on. Agar’s Island, one of. the Bermuda group, which hadbeen unsuitably placed and during the war had suffered almost complete destruction. “Last winter when: visiting the ‘Far-famed Bermudas; the question arose in my mind, how do these isâ€"4 lands, 'so far out in the sea, get the time? After some inquiry I was inâ€" formed that the Rev. Dr. Marsh, pas- tor of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, was appointed by the gov- ernment. to make the astronomical observations necessary and give the time to the colony.
