some means she switched out of the

The Notes of this Third Series are pre-

9 HYMN.
o God in dangers darkest houy,
In battles deadliest field,
Thy name has been our Nations tower,
Thy truth her help and shield.
Our lips should ill the air with praise,
Nor pay the debt we owe.
So high above the songs We raise
The floods of mercy flow.
Yet thou wilt hear the prayer we speak.
The song of praise we sing
Thy children. who Thine altar seek
Their grateful gifts to bring.
Thine altar is the sufferers bed,
The home OF woe and pain.
The Soldiers turfy pillow red
With battles crimson rain.
No smoke of burning stains the air.
Eoincense clouds arise;
Thy peaceful servants, Lord, prepare
4 bloodless sacrifice.
Lo! for our wounded brothers need.
We bear the wine and oil
For us they faint, for as they bleed,
For them eur gracious toll
o. Father, bless the gifts we bring
Cause Thou Thy face to shine.
Till every Nation owns her King,
Aud all the earth is Thine

TIE NEW CITY OF PORT RoYAL.-The Uni
