high literary excellence i'll the papers of
the magazine, and no names OF writers

is by no means weak; indeed much OF 1t

magazine is its many departments ana
the brevity and directness OF the notes
therein. The press expression, religion,
art, views O. thinkers, queries, the chil-
dren, literary notes, the home circle,

sold for 20 cents from the publishing
house, 40 cents being the standard price.
One verse of this beautiful song is enough
to convey an idea of its sentiment:
Deal gently with the errng;
Ye know not of TIE power
With which the dark temptation came
In some unguarded hour.
Ye may not know how earnestly
They struggled, nor how well,
Until the hour of weakness came.
And sadly thus they fell.
CHORUS.
Forget not thou hast often sinned,
And sinful yet must be
Deal gently with the erring one
AS God has dealt with thee.
