OF the Latin-American department OF
the Columbian exposition, has Just re-

"The desire of the people of Cuba ("
the report says, especially the sugar and
tobacco planters and manufacturers, to
promote their commercial relations
with the United States, amounts to
anxiety; and may also mention in this
connection a matter Of news l learned
in Havana, which is that the CONNER
cial organizations of the republic of San
Domingo have raised purse to pay the
salary and expenses of an agent sent by
the government to Washington for the
purpose of negotiating reciprocity
treaty with the United States.

group OF the West Indian colonies, and
will, am sure, stimulate their repre-
sentation at the exposition"
While in Havana, Curtis secured for
the historical section of the exposition
plaster casts of the tomb Of Columbus
and the famous statue Of Columbus in
chains. '-' B NJ N

Poetic record of another race and day;
To one, the beatihc life of Jesus.
Could we but reach a sacrifice so pure;
To one the stern morality that bids us
Gird 1.-THE armor, face the fight once more!
Why separate the flood of light and glory?
Build broad the templei Open wide the door!
Know we not that Goo. the Heavenly Father
Fills all the space aud reigns forevermore?
Prophetic lore, the problem of creation.
Christ's life, stern duty, joy and happiness,
Through each OF these the Fathers love can
reach usi
His tenderness is waiting but to blessl
So. full Of confidence like little children,
Full of the faith that deepens childhood's
charms,
Let us rest truthfully content, obedient,
Within the circle of His loving armsl
o, love of God, touch every heart today
This pastors in his chosen work and word!
This peoples as they move to fresh endeavor
In zeal and worship. by new courage stirred!
May these brief hours so solemn in their prom
Use,
Bind us together. draw us nearer Thee!
Make us more loyal to our daily living,
More valiant soldiers, more devout, more
