of the st. Lawrence. Amid the cnchant-
mcnt of the scenery some of Us are like
! Paul when he said: Whether i'll the
body or out of the body cannot tell. y
| Not having reld the gcOlo%iStS' account OF
how this region was formed, | may sur
mise that after the st. Lawrence began It's
majestic roll, these islands were dropped
into it out of the heavenly landscape.
! Islands above us, islands below lis, islands
all around us, am reminded how mach
| the islands of the world have hId ID dO
with sacred and pgotlne history. Elba,
! from which Napoleon started for hlS ElSt
struggle; and St Helena, where he ended
| it; Island Of Guernsey, where the great
soul of Victor Hugo chafcd in exile until
rcpublicanSm in France drove back d,~-
po;iSm; Isle Of liOrnca, where hd0nlElm
| JudS0n stood flaming cyangel; the Island
of C.lprcra where Garibaldl rested after the
emancipation of Italy; Island Of Cyprus,
where Rarnabas preached; Island Of Melita,
on which Paul w.IS Shipwrcckct; AMI last
of all. but mighticr than all and more I'M
prcSSivc than all, the Island Of PAtm0S, "i
which my text speaks and from which st.
John, the cNiicl Ephcsian Go1pclizrr, saw
the twelve pearly gates lfGod will help
us, we can from these Thousand Isles, on
this Sabbath morning, see the SANE gilt
terin% portals.
Our subject speaks of
\ GREAT METROPOLIS,
the existence of which many have doubted.
