BEAUTIFUL SENTIaENr.-'rhe late emi-
nent Judge, Sir Allen Parke once said at a
public meeting in London: ave live in the
midst of blessings till we are utterly inscnsi-
Bile Of their greatness, and of the source from
whence they flow. We speak of our eivili-
zation, our arts our freedom, our laws and
forget entirely how large share is due to
Christianity. Blot Christianity out Of the
pages of mans history, and what would
his laws have bcen--what his civilization !?
Christianity is mixed up with our very being
and our daily life; there is not a familiar
object around us Which does not wear differ
ent aspect, because the light of Christian love
is on it--not law which does not owe its
truth and gentlcness to Christianity a
custom which cannot be traced in all its ho-
ly healthful parts to the Gospel"

Ifsubscribers neglect or refuse to take their

If subscribers move to other places without
