rocky amphitheatres on the globe.
1t is a marvel of perfection and sub
Unity. From the southern side, the
eye sweeps out over the ocean and
along the rocky coast east and west
till one is filled with amazement and
awe. There are the islands, storm
beaten and riven pillars of rock.
There are the far reaching lofty
headlands as bold and barren and
bald. Toere are the open bays and
little coves of all shapes and sizes,
and there are large mountain locked
harbors with gateways like the pill
lars of Hercules. One could linger
on scene like this for hours, and
the longer he would look and the
farther he could see, the more deeply
would he be impressed with tin con-
viction that nature has forces and
energies far, far beyond human
thought, and times and ways, periods
and ends of working, far beyond the
understanding Of man.
A carriage drive of few hours
takes us from Cupids, past several
coves and bays to Harbor Grace,
the second city of the island IN pop.
ultaion and importance. Here we
see magnificent Roman Cathedral
with a dome like that of St. Peters
in Rome. This town is famous for
riots and disturbances between
Orangemen and Roman Catholics in
the year 1884, this unfortunate
affair arising out of the determine
ton of the Papists to stop Protest.
ant procession has terribly embitter-
ed the feelings of both parties and
sensitiveness that may easily be
quickened again into violence.
If one asks lovely view, let him
on bright evening descend the hill
crossed in going from Harbor
Grace to Carbonear three miles dis
tant. This delightful town, where
| spent two happy years of Ministerial
toll, lies in one of the pleasantest
coves and on one Of the most extern
sive of the few gradually sloping
hillsides Of the island Different
from both IIarbor Grace and ST.
Johns, it has refreshingly Protest
ant air and appearance. There is
some regularity in its plan; the
homes are pleasant and many Of
them Oh the luxurious side of com
Portable; the streets are clean, and
the whole place shows up neatness
and thrift. 1t is one of the first
settled places IN the colony, the
landing place of the first methodist
preachers and in moral and religious
movements a leader among the
princes of the land. Here is a
noble methodist property of parson-
age, churches and schools, and one
of the largest congregations in the
country.

Episcopal Convention

New YORK. Oct. 2.--The general conven'
ton of the Protestant Episcopal Church of
America opened this morning in ST..
Georges church, Stuyvesant Square. This
is looked upon as one of the most important
conventions ever held by the church In this
country. This is the centennial anniversary
ofthe adoption of the constitution of the
PROTESTANT Episcopal church, and of the
holding of the first general convention. Ooe
of the questions to be settled is the proposed
change of nams of the church, many being
opposed to the present mama. Another i'm.
portant question is that of proportional rep
resentation.
