Have Patience Then.

Oh holy Father, must stay Still longer here below? My spirit longs to fly away From sin and pain and woe. My suffering days pass slowly by, So full of grief and pain; Take me, Oh take me Lord! cry Henceforth with Thee to reign. Be still, my soul, with patience wait, Gods will is always best; Our Lord can never be too late To give His children rest. My grace to Thee is fully gwen, My arms shall Thee enfold, Till thou shalt safely enter Heaven, Where joys await untold Have patience then, fear not to stay Till Christ shalt bid thee come; Till thou shalt hear Him sweetIy say, "ChiId 'tis enough, come home" No pain or sorrow enter there, Nor weary, suffering night; No need ot lamp or monday glare, The Lord Himself is light. Iris well, my God, choose Thou for me; Send sorrow, pain or care, Since love inscribed on all I sec And Thou art with me there.

 In your issue of the 18th, appears commu- nication from pr W. H. Donaldson which, to say the least, is misleading and incorrect.

 The facts of the case are simply as follows :: When the printed circular containing the cus- tomary questions was sent to the doctor, he sent the blank form to me and portion of the circular was filled out in accordance with his request and returned to him.
 Whatever was written by the doctor (and, among other items, was the objectionable clause relative to the sanitary condition of Southport was not submitted to me, nor was I aware of what had been written until after the same had been sent in to the State secre- fary and. on reading the report as it appear. ed among others in the annual report of the State Board of Health, was as much snrpris ed and as justly indignant at the false com parison of the relative sanitary condition of the two districts, as was the correspondent to whom the doctor replied.-IC H.

It is on crushed grain that man is fed !; it is by bruised plants that he is restored to health It was by broken pitchers that Gideon triumphed, on broken pieces of the ship that Paul and his companions were saved. It was by the bruised and ftorn bodies of the saints that the truth was made to triumph. When the true story of all things shall be made known. then will it appear how precious in Gods sight, how powerful in His hands, were many broken things: Broken earthly hopes, broken bodily health, broken earthly fortunes; above all and supreme ly, the broken body of His Son and tbe broken bread of the Sacrament which commemorates 1t.

arch wasndreaJ t of, the man who hewed
down a treeaorA two, and laid them from
stone to stone or bank to bank, was held in
reverence and esteem by all who could
cross the water dry.ShOd. So it was that
in old Roman days--and the Romans were
famous bridge builders and aqueduct.mak.
ers-a positive religious sanction attached
to those whose duty it was to construct
and keep in repair, or, it may be, as III the
case of sbrave HoratiuS,' defend a bridge
against the foe. 1t was the chief priests, or
"Pontifces," headed by their POntitex Max
linus. who looked after the bridges tnaG
crossed the yellow Tiber. EmperOrs, such
as Trajan, for instance, made proud boast
of their bridge.building OIL their recording
columns. Long before his time NltocrlS
built a bridge over the Eurhrates at Baby
Ion, and Herodotus diScOurSeS eloQuently

the Middle Ages, religious confraternltles,
such as the, tFratreS PCntis" Or "HOspita'
larii Pontifces," devoted themselves to the
building and repair of bridgeS-indeed, the
present Pontiff of Rome derives his title
al, being the hereditary father of all who
work in this ancient, honorable, and, as
we have seen, specially reverenced craft.
It might also be added that the only good
deeds attributed 10 the traditional Author
of all Evil is that, in medieval times at all

work of this character, as is witnessed ny
the many beautiful and ingenious "DeVllS

is there any admission of diabolic aid, by
the "POntifces'' of North and South S OF

with honest. dignity admit to the full that
they have put their hearts, as we'll as their
ingenious brains, into their work, and can

Socialism in Europe.

It is surprising to see how strong
the Socialists have grown in Ger
many. They Ore increasing there in
spite of the measures taken to repreSs
them. 1t is Just possible that the adj
dition to their numbers, which the
late elections have brought TO light, IS
on account Of those measures. Opln-
ion cannot be killed by Governments.
It's impossible to strangle sentiment
by force. In Great Britain, where
men arc free to think and to prOpa-
gate their opinions, Socialism has not
made much Roadway. Il is known
only by name to millions, and there
IRE not enough avowed Socialists in
any one place TO elect a member TO
Parliament. In the United States
where the press is free and conscience
uDfettered, there are vtry few native
Socialists, and those imported from
European countries do not possess "
great deal of influence. q They have
not, as far as We know, a SINGLE re-
preventative in Congress, and 1t does
not appear hat the influence is lelt
even in the state legislatures. 1t is
