As in private prayer our thoughts are
turned 10 that God who seeth in secret. so
In public worship We should seek to realize
rather more definite conception of
the presence of the incarnate God. The
human presence yisibly around US in the
church is the pledge, the token, the sacra-
mcDt of his. He is among them in all
the sympathies of his humanity, in all the
glories OF his divinity. in all the precious
virtues OF his mediatorial work. And 1t will
be found useful before the commencement
OF the service, and ut any Of the necessary
breaks which occur in the course of it, to
occupy the mind with the thought of his
presence. The apprehension OF il will inn
part to public worship "A mingled sweetness
and solemnity.-E. NJ. Goulburn.

AN EASTER LYRIC.

Iose-tipped buds and song Of birds.
Meadows dotted thick with flowers
In low swamps the grazing herds
Come with April's freshening showers
Soft the south winds wooing breath,
Musical the runners flow;
Closed ia Winters reign Of death,
And Nature smiles to SEQ II go.
Now the bluebird's warbled bell
Stirs the elm-top's tilted spray;
On the rail-ience-note him we'll
How the robin shines to-dayl
over meadow. knoll and hill
Green grass puts its carpet neat
And the rare song-sparrow's thrill
Never turned TO song more sweet.
Fleece-piled clouds, in argosies,
Float against the deep blue sky,
While brighter grow the wlllowtr
Above the brook that ripplcs by.
Burdens OF earth, and mind, and soul.

The Summer sun regains control,
And new life dawns with Easter Day.

II should be one of the functions Of

A New York Press writer says that
Menelek, King of Abyssinia, had de-
cided advantage over the Italians,
whom 1t came TO question of food.
II was next to impossible for the sons
of Sunny Italia to get their supplies
from one part of that rough country
to another, and the troops were often
Obliged to go hungry, not because
there was nothing to eat, but because
it could not be got at. Menelek man
aged these things better. Accustomed
us his people are to existing largely
upon raw meat, they never think OF
butchering cattle for their commits
sariat, but drive them along on the
march, and when hunger begins to
pinch them they have habit of cut
ting from shoulder and flank strips
of raw meat, which they devcur. The
poor animals staggering along till ac'
tually hayed alive in this slow and
cruel manner. But there are no bag
gage wagons, no silver stewpans and
noup. .tuTeens to annoy the army.

KINDLY DEEDS.

The kindly deeds Of this life, Of every
life which has trodden in the warm footsteps
OF our Saviour through this worlds dinted
snow, have had their handspring in that
sympathy which was expressed by the sigh
Of Jesus We cannot all do as He did in the
brief years Of His ministry-"go about doing
good = but we can all live as lie lived for
His first thirty years Of quiet, holy strenuous
duty, deliberately striving each day to be
good deliberately striving each day TO alb
stain from evil, In order, so far as In us lies,
In His name, and for His sake, 10 assuage
the sorrows Of the world.-Canon Farrar.

and opposite the stand an enormous

the spectators did not weary. Just at

haustion. q man wearing q Napoleonic

out from beneath the galleries and
pushed his way over the press benches

McKinley's vote exceeded the ex.
