Once I saw beside the ocean
Playing careless on the strand.
Chubby limhed, a tiny baby,
Building Wundrous wallis 10 sand:
Decking out her rude enclo ures
With the shells. which waves had thrown
On the beach in wild disorder;
she was all alone.
Aud said: My little cherub,
n thy play, SO lonely here,
Vt the raging mountain pillows,
Has thy little heart no feargn
Then she pointed to the lighthouse,
Saying as She sweetly smiled,
"fapa's there; though cant't see him,
lie can see his little child"
Then cried Lord God Almighty,
III IN very truth hon art,
can see my faith reflected
IN this trusting baby heart
All our Joy is tingei with sorrow.
All cur good IS nnrred with wrong,
AL the basenese Of thy creatures
Cannot unto the belong.
I'm carth's wrong and hard oppression.
In our madness, In our crime,
can see no slightest tracing
or thy attributes sublime
Yet know, il thou eXisteth.
Though from earth's confusion wild,
can never see thee, Father,
Thou cars't see thy childw

LECTURES AND DEBATES.

One of the features of Socialist
agitation is the holding of lectures
followed by debates. The lecturers
are not necessarily Socialists or in
favor Of socialism, but among the
critics there will be found souue who
are, and the result Is an agitation
for socialism. Recently the Ameri-
can Section of New York adopted a
set Of regulations intended to give
both lecturer and audience fair
chance to explain and criticize. At
the last meeting they were put in
force, and the meeting, from an or
derly point of view, was quite sue
cess. Five persons announced them
selves foe debate, and they each had
Six minutes, the lecture occupying
but half hour. Following are the
rules;
/. The time occupied by the lecturers
Will be about forty-iive minutes.
,, Those who wish to criticize and de-
bate will hand their names written on
paper provided to the secretary before
the debate begins.
3, The time for debate will be equal to
that occupied by the lecturer. and will
be equally divided among those who
have announced themselves as per SO.
4, The lecturer may have ten minutes
to close the debate.
>. No business other than that upon
the Program will be transacted, and no
motions entertained.
