AS prelude, the choir sang the anthem, Like

Were going home,'' when the chaplain took as
his text for the day part OF the 1St verse, Sam
uel l. XIV: And Samuel died.
In his usual clear and fOrcible manner the
chaplain drew picture of the life of Samuel:
how he had established laws and schools that
brought the Israelites out of ignorance and dark
ness aud built up a kingdom second to but one
on earth. He then. in very logical manner
traced the history of all countries down to the
present day; showing the value of Knox to
Scotland, Luther to Germany, Charlemange
to France. a Washington to America The point
demonstrated was, that men, not nations made
history, and all of the above were men OF
great personal character, whose lives shed a
lllstre upon their cOuntry'S history. From the
days of samuel, eleven hundred years before
Christ. all truly great men have looked TO GOD
| of love and mercy for guidance Samuel, Whlle
but twenty years OF age. established courts
where the oppressed could take their wrongs
and find justice. He established schools where
they could learn to respect the law, their fellow
man, and above all, to look higher, to God
who was all mercy and love.
| Nations become great only through the lndl-
vidual. 1t should therefore be our aim to devel-
CD good characters if we would count in this
world and first duty is to select good associ-
ates Association makes the man. young
man starting out in life, who resOlutely chooses
| as his associates only those who are pure in
heart and mind and of lofty principles, is safe.
Launch him where you will. he comes to the
'front.' and leaves evidences of a noble life behind
| him as an inspiration to those who follow.
We should put our conscience into every act OF
life; look to God for strength, and we are bound
to succeed in this world and enjoy the fruits OF
life we'll spent, in the world to come.
The sermon was replete with instances of the
greatest men who have existed, and they have
ever been found pinning their faith upon God;
looking to Him for all their strength, and through
Him at last winning the victory. The singing OF

The Convict Problem.

That cOnvicts be placed at hard and unprofit-
able labor so as not to compete with honest toll is
often urged by the friends of wOrkingmen. II
think the ideal of hard and Improbable labor is
reached at London, Ontario" said commercial
traveller, in the course of a conversation about
prison made goods 1.-THE wOrkhouse and peni-
Tertiary of Ontario are located upon the top of a
high bluff upon the riverside. The cOnvictS are
told off into groups of four and between them is
a barrel with handles This they fill at the river
side, and then toll painfully up the steep path to
the summit of the bluff, where the contents of
the barrel are dumped into gutter to rush back
into the river. Then they descend to the water
level for another load. The warden who invented
this solution of the convict labor question had

Judge Not.

Judge not! Thou canst not tell
Why he, thy brother, fell.
Wilt, too. thy flowers might,
Exposed unto the blight:
Thy singing birds quite dumb,
Meath darkened skies become.
Judge not! Thou dOst not know
Why he has acted SO.
Be not so sure thy grain
Could long resist such rain;
Thy bark. thus tempeSt-tOSSed,
Might not the bar have crossed.
Judge not! Thou canSt not say
just where the blame to lay.
From strings long snapped in twain
Comes out the sweet refrain;
From StreamletS frozen deep
Not soon the waters leap.
Bid not from that poor heart
The one last hope depart;
But, Judging, questioning not,
The past all, all forgot.
Let silence be the gem
OF mercy'S diadem.
