APART WITH GOD.


Apart with God-how beautifult the thought!
From cares of earth to win such sweet re-
lease;
To lay aside the vexing task, half wrought,
And by the green, o'ershadowed path Of
peace
Seek the white altar that the saints have
sought!
Oh! precious is the quiet place Of prayer
Where Heaven and earth. where God and
mortal meet
To that dear spot come neither pain nor
care,
And all about is like a garden sweet,
The flowers whereof shed healing on the
Dir.
There. brother, bring your trials vexing
thorn,
And God shall pluck 1t out and give you
rest.
There bring your sin. and He whose side
was torn
Shall cleanse your soul to be His pa
limpsest,
New-written as your spirit is newborn
None is forbid that blest communion-none.
The hands that spanned the cruel cross so
wide,
Thus would they clasp the troubled race, az
one
Lost brother, by loves anguish justified.
Come, whosoe'er; behold! you are Gods
Son!

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

| Tho heredity of genius is illustrated
by the Harvard senior class elections, in
which the son of Carl Schurz was
chosen as ivy orator and the son of
Joseph H. Choate as poet.
"A Yale Alumni association has been
formed at Portland, Ore, with Robert
L. Platt IA president, Henry Il. Connor

tee composed of the two men mentioned

There is considerable interest in the
appointment of Rev. C. S. Rice to the
pastorate of the old Congregational
church in Stockbridge, Mass.-not be-
cause of the new minister's personality,
for he is fresh from Bowdoin and An
dover seminary and only 26 years old,

Jonathan Edwards preached before he

DR.. Creighton, the new bishop Of
London has lann ~ hn,
Some time ago when he was making a
visitation of his diocese Peterborough
he was entertained in an old manor
house, and slept in a room supposed to
be haunted. Next morning at break
fast the bishop was asked whether he
had seen the ghost. YES" he replied,
with great solemnity. But have laid
the spirit; it will never trouble you
again" On being further Intercepted
as to what he had done, the bishop said:
1.-THE ghost instantly vanished when
esked for subscription toward the res
toration of Peterborough cathedral"
A writer in Goodwill says that Tom
Mann once accused the clergy of not
sympathizing with the poor. Arch
bishop Benson hearing of this invited
him to Lambeth and taxed him with it.
Going up to the bookshelf he took
down book and began reading. "This,"
said the archbishop, "is written by
clergyman; what do you think of itP"
30, that's all right" said Tom Mann;
"who wrote it?" 81 did," said the arch
bishop, somewhat triumphantly, pre-
senting him with the book. The book
was Christ and His Times" and the
passage which the archbishop read WAS
from the chapter on Suffering Popula-
tons" Tom Mann often made use of
the book at socialist meetings.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN GIRL.
Mildred BevingtOn's Account OF Long
Shot at an Antelope.

Shot at an Antelope.
Mildred Bevington, a Rocky mountain
girl living in Wyoming on the border OF
Jackson's Hole, has recently been sue
cessful at hunting game which men
usually find hard to get. She has killed
half dozen black-tailed deer, and wears
boomers while hunting. The bullets
she uses are soft-nosed, so that when
they hit they mushroom and spread out
TIN they are half an inch across. Not
one of the deer that she hit has run
more than 200 yards, and usually they
have died before they have gone ten
rods. She finds antelope hunting the
best sport of all, and she writes to a New
York friend:
II want to tell you about an antelope
shot a week ago. I took my pony and
went away up above the ranch, tethered
il out and then went along little bluff
to where could look across the country
for long way, took out my glass and
looked and looked, but 1 couldn't see a
single thing. Then / went on ways and
looked again. 1 had been looking for,
perhaps, an hour and half when hap
pened to see a glimmer of something
over little hummock not more than 100
yards away. 1t was just little speck of
brown that had seen, and wasn't sure
1 had seen anything, but cooked my
rife and waited. If it was anything,
knew it would come in sight 200 or $50
yards away and then l might accidental
ly hit it if 1 tried hard enough. 1t
seemed so long waiting there that
guessed L hadn't seen anything; then
upwent something on the rising ground.
Another jump and an antelope was in
sight, followed by four others. l tried
small in the sights-looked little bits
of rabbits. Pretty soon 1 pulled the
