Since we never pry into

To the Editor efihs S. crO:s- "Ar;."

Lear Dir, aTF4
I went on Saturday evening ~toslisten to
the singing atthe Sacred Concert, which, as
announced, took place in the Lutheran Church.
AS l stood by, and silently noticed the in
gross, and afterwards the egress Of the large
numbers ofLutherans who hada responded to
the call of their pastor, I felt deeply ashamed
when I contrasted this beautiful spectacle with
the lethargic state of things which at presan
exists in our own Anglican community.
Whatever motive might have induced these
good people (from the highest Government
official to the most ordinary member of the
Church) to attend the concert, lit appears evil
dent that they mean to uphold the hands of
their pastor, and to support their institutions.
The existence of this noble feelings In any
community is as laudable as the absence of it
IS deplorable, and we Anglicans may as well
profit by the example of others, and try to
hold our own. / use the word try advisedly,
for l still remember what a small number of
us went to hear the very able lecture on the
fertilization of Plants given a short time
ago by the head Of the Educational Depart
ment of the island, for the benefit of st. Johns
Church, and of which sufficient notice had
been given through the press and again the
almost equally small number Of Church people
present at the repetition of the Sacred Cantata
a few evenings ago, for the same purpose. 1t
would seem as if there is q determination on
our part to make no effort whatever to keep
up our institutions, and our policy in this re-
spect is as wise as the conduct of that Captain
who sat quietly smoking his pipe, and looked
with apparent unconoern at the. rock against
which his ship would shortly be dashed to
pieces, withoutthe slightest effort on his part,
to avert the destruction of his craft.
We display a sad lack of training in the
matter of self-help, and we would perhaps do
nothing very wrong by initiating the conduct
of our neighbours, the Roman Catholics, who
although not a bit mole wealthy than ourselves
take a pride in maintaining their institutions
and keeping them out of debt.
1t is by united efforts that we too must OK.
pect to overcome our di difficulties, and the soon
er we arrive at this unity of purpose, which is
80 disirable, the better it will be for all that
concerns our Church.
Yours very gratefully,
A CHURCHMAN.

Dear Mr.. Editor.

To the Editor Of the st. CrOir Bulletin.
Dear Mr.. Editor,
I read with some interest your
correspondent Churchman'S" effusion in
your Bulletin of the 21st inst, and hoped,
that the able writer, having set up himself
as a critic, would consistently, have afford
ed that portion of the public, that had not
a chance to be present OH the occasion, a
criticism on the concert held in the Lutheran
Church of this town on the 18th inst, but
have been much disappointed in seeing
nothing from his able pen. Is it that
"ChnrchmaD" derived such unqualified
satisfaction. from this concert or that he
deemed it so far below criticism, or was it
but / would rather dismiss the thought as
absurd-servlle fear, that prompted his
reticenoe OH this occasion and left space in
your valuable paper for news of more
interest to a general public?
Yours respectfully,
ENQUIRER.

The Dear Old Christmas
Story.

The dear old Christmas story,
You have not understood,
Unless you find life glory,
And know that God means Good"
There is but n great spirit
And that is Love supreme,
We all are dwelling near 1t,
They only sin who dream.
Awake from sleep and error,
Look up and feel no dread,
For love will Danish terror,
AS Christ himself has said.
In love, there lies ~forgiving,
In love lies loss OF pain,
And love makes life worth living,
In love, Christ lives again.
You need not seek earth over
To find this beauteous guest,
For 10! the kingly lover
Lives in each loving breast.

HOUSEHOLD ANGELS.

Oh, the blessed household angels, we hear
their gentle tones,
We look into their tender loving eyes,
And like q benediction their gracious presence
seems
Gods holy ones, his angels in disguise.
a'hey bear earth's weary burdens and tighten
every care,
They tread with smiles the thorny path Of
life.
A fount Of joy is apringing forever in their
souls,
Dear angels! mid earth's conflict and its
strife.
We hear their gentle footsteps where pain and
sorrow dwell,
And their hands arc white with serving Christ
our King,
The low rustic Of their robes as they journey to
and fro,
Is like the stirring of an angles wing.
Is there anyone a-weary? Are there tears on
any cheek?
They come with words of holy, loving cheer.
Is there any awful sorrow where tits mockery
to speak?
They will pray and drop the sympathzing
tear.
o precious household angels o sanity ones
and blestl
o souls grown beautiful with glory from
above,
The little ones and aged ones they comfort and
they bless,
And lift our poor earth nearer to Gods throne
