gathered in groups beating their kettles
and chanting their own peculiar songs.
At nine o'clock the bugle sounds and
from that time perfect silence reigns
until the same call in the morning.
Several times during our stay In
their neighborhood the boys attracted
by our singing gathered round, but
could never be persuaded TO sing for
us. The last night however, they came
and sat on one end of the porch and
as the sound Of our voices died away
they took up the strain and sang in
their low, soft tones some OF our hymns.
Imagine II, If you can, the moon slowly
mounting over the top OF the noun
tains rising on oil sides of us, cast its
still, clear lights over the tents across
the road and the dark figures moving
in and out over the long low porch at
one end of which we sat, while at the
other these poor little fellows were
gathered singing, ayes Jesus Loves
me, tho Bible tells me So" We sat in
silence after they finished and the be.
gan again and sang for us the old, old
story which came TO US from them with
new meaning, They ended with that
sweet little hymn "He shall Gather the
Gems for His Kingdom" By the time
they were done we were all much
moved and tears were in every eye,
tears both of joy and sadness. Sad to
think OF the mock we often make Of
our religion in our treatment OF these
people no less "His loved and His
own" than ourselves, and joy TO think
they two might now learn of Hin and
be among the "Gems for His Crown"
This little experience has greatly in
fuenced my thoughts on this subject,
and l can only wish those who may
not approve of the work being carried
on at the Barracks to go and see them
as have done and am sure they will
join me in applauding this work and
wishing it great future success.

temporary freedom from the school

acquired there and no dislike TO its re.

RESPECT YoUR MoTHER.-How my
heart has been panied TO see the cool
ness and indifference which is often
manifested for an aged and dependent
mother. Ago may waste a mothers
beauty and dim the lustre OF her eye
her strength may depart, her limbs ro.
fuse to support her lettering frame, OF
she may become as helpless as an in.
FAINT but shall we love her less ? Is
she not our mother still Has she not
toiled and watched over our helpless
infancy ! And in youth, has she not
tried TO lead us in the straight and
narrow path2 And In sickness she
was onr ministering angel.
