The three page poem by John G.
Whittier, which will appear in the
November st. Nicholas Magazine,
commentaries the visit of a party of
young girls to the poets home. Itcon.
tains the following lines, which have a
peculiar significance now that the good
Quaker poet has passed away;
II would not if l could repeat
A life which still is good and sweet;
keep in age, as in my prime,
A not uncheerful step with time,
And, grateful for all blessings sent,
l go the common way, content
To make no new experiment.
On easy terms with law and fate,
For what must be calmly wait,
And trust the path cannot see,-
That God is good sufficeth me.
And when at last upon life's play
The curtain falls, 1 only pray
That hope may lose itself in truth,
And age in heaven g immortal youth,
And all our loves and longing prove
The foretaste of diviner love!'
The Century Magazine will take up
the Bible and science controversy. In
the November Century Prof. Charles
w. Shields, of Princeton, answers the
question: Does the Bible Contain Scien-
tific Errors? with an emphatic NO. He
says: Literary and textual obscurities
there may be upon the surface of Holy
Vert, like spots upon the sun, or rather
like notes in the eye; but scientific
error in its divine purport would be the
sun itself extinguished at noon. Such
Bible could not live in this epoch. {"
Prof. Shields article will be followed
by one in the December Century on
The Effect of Scientific Study upon
Religious Beliefs"

a very picturesque and happy little
darkey making midday meal of the

of the Library will especially please
the children. What number, in fact,
does not? And it is filled with all
those oddities that the great artists are
SO skillful in depicting. Never was 30
much Laughter put in pages for such
moderate sum as in Judges Library.
