Round the great central throne Of majesty,
Flash down sweet words of peace and truth

And love in the dread power that holds theH

Unswerving in their way through the blue

And saddening cares and wearing toll forgot

For oh, they speak with no uncertain sound,
And In their motion sing Thy praise, o God,

The cloud passed as quickly as 1t

he was unframed.
He ran to the cistern. The rain was
running into it in great streams, and
'Shack," who was not proof against
every thing, was beginning to cry.
A great fear came over Rob that

pull him up, but his strength was not

1t would make too long a story to tell
how Robs father and mother came just
after the storm. But they had stopped
at a neighbours on the way home, and
had been near enough to see the cyclone
carry the house away.
You can imagine how proud they felt
of their boy Rob-
And as for Shack" he is, stout
handsome baby yet, and / hope he will
grow up to tell his children how Rob
saved him from the cyclone Don't
