O. Venus, lovely evening star!
D;ffusisg precious light affair,
How much superior IS thy fame
10 hers from whom thou thy name
She leadeth hapless man astray,
Thou highest wanderers on their ways
The mantle of the dark was spread,
The tempest ward around my head,
As wearied, pensive, and alone,
Through devious wilds iourney'd On,
lmploring for some gentle ray,
To light . wandercr on his way.
when soon with gts1ness and surprise,
I saw thee in the western skies:
Cheering the dismal gloom OF night,
With grateful. friendly, moderate light.
Complete rs all the glare of day,
80 light wanderer on his way.
OF thus should anxious cares intest,
Or ,srring passions rend the breast,
And in dark tcmpests struggling role
Nav reason open on my soul,
And with serene and sober ray.
Conduct the wandersr on his way
let Others toll for wealth or fame
Or call ambition but name,
Vet follow what delusion Yields
Unmindful of you starry fields,
The idle fanciss such display
Mislesdths wandererin his way.
TO them their pleasure resign,
The evenin star ofreason mine;
Wihthis no other light we need
This best, mans destined path shall lead
To that cold tomb of kindred clay,
Where ends the wanderers earthly way.

MALTA, May 25, 1924.
My dear Christian Brother You
will, perhaps, think it strange, that
] should reside more than two entire
wears in tbs island, without visiting
once, during that period, the spot
where it is supposed the Apostle to
the GentiIes was shipwrecked. a few
DAYS ago, for the first time. I visited
what is here called est. Panl's Bay.
distant from Valetta, the principal Gle
ty in the island. about six miles,
In reading the account of the Apos-
ties shipwreck. as it is recorded in
the Acts of the Apostles, l have all
ways encountered difficulties which
Icould never overcome. The ditii-
Guilty Of understanding this account.
L. much greater in our English trans.
Iation than in the original. In the
English we bear Of their "falling in
20 place where two seas met :" the
original is, ssesiolopon dithallasson,'
a place washed on both sides by the
sea. On the Nv. side of st. Pau's
Bay. there is q tongue of land ex-
tremely rocky, that extends half a
mile perhaps or more into the sea.
in direction from S. ". to ~. E.
This of course is washed on both
aides. as often as the wind blows from
the E. or N. +. which was ancientiy
called Eurpclydon, but at present
Gregale. Tho sea. brought in by
this wind, dashes upon the point OF
this tongue Of land, is divided, and
then sweeps along on both its sides.
Upon this point, the natives say the
vessel struck, and its present appear
ance renders the opinion highly pro-
babIe to my own mind, though Others
might think differently. The vessel
struck upon the rocks probably, for !
saw no sand near the place, and l be-
lieve there is none.
Our translation informs that they
discovered sa certain creek with a
shore.' This language, to me, con-
yeys no idea. A creek without a
shore would be a paradox. Who ey~
er saw creek without two shores
The original is not attended by this
difficulty. They discovered 'keaon
de tina ecoDta argialon,' cersain
gulf or bay, having shore, or con-
venient landing place. Such in real
ity is the Bay of st. Paul. 1t can be
distinctly and easily seen from the
ocean that this bay has good and
convenient shore for landing, while
many other parts of the island pre-.
sent to the ocean bold and appalling
shore, where it would be totally i'm
practicable. if not impossible to land,
especially during storm.
There is a small church standing
