THE TRAPPIsT MONKS OF Okla.

Heart of Canada.

The Great ORDERS Good Work In th'
Heart of Canada.
A few wears ago the Provincial Gov
eminent of Canada was induced to grant
to a band of priests newly arrived lol
of land on the banks Of the Ottowa, near
Its junction with the 81. Lawrence. and
there they established themselves as the
Canadian headquarters OF the Tappist
Order in the Monastery OF Okla, They
at once devoted themselves TO the cult
walton of the soil and to teaching the
surrounding farmers the methods of sci
ent fic agriculture. They erected silosi
introduced the use of artificial fertilizers
and new methods in dsirying and stock
raising, till now the district OF Okla has
become one of the best agricultural sec,
tions in the province.
The story of their lives reads like a
chapter from the annals of the early
Church. The monks rise at O'Clock
every morning, and after repeating the
office of the Blessed Virgin they arrange
their cells, " hich measure five by six
feet. and contain wooden bedstead
with a hard straw mattress and pillow.
A discipline and crucifix complete the
furniture. Then they have an hour fol-
meditation, after which the chapter
takes place. All repair to the chapter
room and each IN turn publicly con
fesses his willful and other faults against
the rule, and il any one should hav
happened to notice fault in the peni-
tent they will accuse him aloud, and il
it is acknowledged penanre IL imposed
which consists of fiaggellaiion or some
other bodilv mortification, After chap.
ter the rules are explained. the maths
are sung, and finally all attend the dallJ
High Mass at o'clock.
Then they proceeded to work, at this
season, cutting down the trees in the
forest and sa :. ing them into cordwoOd
This continues ill 2 o'clock in the after
noon, when they all repair to the mon
astery to examine their cOnscIences, and
at 2 80 they take their first and only
meal of the day. A tin plate, wooden
fork aud spoon are the appliances. E Oh
monk receives plate OF soup made OF
vegetables and water and a plate Of
boiled rice. On Christmas day they re-
ceive two meals ind during Lent the
meal is taken at o'clock.
After this somewhat frugal meal worn
is resumed, aud is only interrupted fol
the singing of the office. The monk
never speak, excepting as they pass
each other, when the exclaiIn "Menentf
Mori!"-remembe death--and this they
repeat unison around the half dug grave
Visitors are welcomed, and many
make the monastery regular retreai
for whose accommodation the monk
are now about to erect new building.

A Remarkable Book by Rev. II.
Dewitt Talmage, ID. ID.

This is said to be a year of remarkable
books, but doubtless the most remarka-
BILE that will appear for some time to
come is Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage's new
work on the "Life Of Christ and "Pales-
tine and its People" Some idea of what
the book contains and how it Twas pre-
pared may be obtained by reading the
following extract from the Doctors
preface:
"In my American home, on the Allan
tic, on Mediterranean, on camefs back,
on mules back, on horseback, under
chandelier, by dim candle in tent, on
Lake Galilee, in convent, at Bethel where
and the angels OF the ladder landed; at
the brook Elah, from which little David
picked up the ammunition of five smooth
stones, four more than were needed for
crushing like an egg-shell the skull Of
Goliath; in the Valley OF Ajalen, over
which at Joshua's command, Astronomy
palted; on the plain Of EsdraeIod, the
battlefield of ages, it's long red flowers
suggestive of the blood dashed to the
bits OF the horses brides amid the shat
tered masonry of Jericho, in Jerusalem
that overshadows all other cities in rem
| miscence, at Cana where plain water be-
came testal beverage, on Calvary, whose
| aslant aad ruptured rocks still show the
effects of the earthquake at the awful
| hemorrhage OF the five wounds that pur-
chased the worlds rescue, and with my
hand mittened from the storm, Or wet
| from the Jordan. or barred to the sun, or
gliding over smooth table, this book has
been written
This book will certainly be worth read
ing and preserving. 1t il not only a
life OF Christ from an entirely new stand
point, but it 10 also an interesting histo-
~ Of q country and people who occupy
a prominent place in the thoughts and
| feeling of all Christian nations. The
large number of excellent pictures OF
places and scenery in the Holy Land
| with which the volume is in ILLUSTRATED
give it a special interest and value. We
cannot all go to Palestine, but this ele-
giant book through the aid OF its pictures
| and DR.. Talmage's wonderful -descrip
tons accompanying them, brings Pal
estine to our very doors. The book ia
indeed a positive necessity to a proper
understanding of the Bible accounts Of
places and events. We can understand
and appreciate Bible history all the bet

Y. Nj. G.. A. Notes.

This week is observed by Young Mems
Christian Associations all over the world
as the Week OF Prayer for young men.
Almost every Association has special
services and in many of them daily serv-
ices for men only are held. The Henderson
Association is holding two services each
day. At sunrise every morning a twenty
minutes prayer service is held in the
rooms. About fifteen men attend them.
At o'clock at night, evangelistic serv-
ices are held, Mr.. T. C. Diggs, the Cen
eral Secretary, leading. The attendance
has been very good so far, and the in
terest shown is very encouraging to the
workers. The whole strength of the As
ISOLATION is thrown to religious work
and secular attractions are postponed
until next week.
The Ladies' Committee has been &C
lively at work trying to make the rooms
more attractive. It met Monday and re-
ported $40 given by the ladies OF three
churches to buy a carpet for the front
room, and two churches were not re-
reported. Such carpet as is needed will
cost $40. Several ladies have made do
nations of needed articles of furniture,
pictures, &c. A committee Of two ladies
is appointed each week to look after the
rooms.
A committee on Physical Culture has
been appointed. consisting of Messrs w.
E. Moss, A. J. Cheek and Leroy Coghill.
Classes will be organized next week, the
first on Monday night. Only paid up
members may join.
1t is proposed to reorganize all CON-
mittees at once. Eight new committees
are needed and this necessitates general
change. - -
Thirty-one men attended the religious
meeting last Sunday. 1t is thought that
about fifty men should attend these meet
ings to help the Association up with
those Of other towns. A committee will
be appointed to advertise and invite men
to them. Next Sunday Mr.. W. A. Cheat
ham willlead, the subject being Worldly
