Some time ago a small section in
Quebec Province was set eff for a par
lsh; all the Protestants with the limits
were made to pay the taxes to the ma
lrity, or dissent; and they cannot
dissent as they had not enough chill
dren of their own to form a district.
They are thus compelled TO pay 20 the
the Roman Catholics.
AT q recent meeting held in Toron,

children and cared for them. Two of
them became Christians.

~, am lets fall a pleasant light
III Tnon this woodland space,
u5ere loved ones, vanished from our
sight,
psst in the earth's embrace.
~, splendors mock the griefs that
speak
From each memorial stone,
Nd me. who linger here to seek
Communion with my own.
uban skies we're dark and March winds
blew,
py vonder oaken shade,
r5o2 heart. so loving, large and true,
Beneath the turf was laid.
R,t still yon cleaning waters leap,
Rejoicing to the sun,
And careless who may light or weep,
The circling hours run.
Tbeskies. with grand, ~unSroubled brow
Bend calmly over her,
And heedlessly the south winds blow
And light the oak leaves stir;
whiIe mated birds, on happy wing,
Fit through the oaken shade,
Or pause above a grave to sing
The grave where she was LAID!
All Nature seems to give consent,
And makes NJ sign Of PAIN;
"A human life to earth l lent,
Then took it back again."
nWhat is it to the circling hours,
The life they take or bring9
What is it to the dews and flowers,
Or birds on happy wings"
8ut I and Nature are at strife,
Nor can | rise and say.
"'Tis we'll you gave me that sweet life,
lis we'll you took away"
= dumb and deaf-O hard and blindl
What a you know or feelf
With reckless emile our hearts you
bind.
And break upon your wheel.
What is it to the circling hours,
The life they take or bringE
What ia it to the winds and shoWersf
They know not anythlngl
But somehow, ere l 6W WARE
There comes a hush and thrill,
For all the sunshine and the air
A Presence seems to fill;
And from the sudden. opening sky,
s low voice seems to say,
Il lam the Resurrection, l
The Life, the Truth, the Way.
This Nature, which you idly blame,
Is but the robe [ wear;
From Ne the human spirit came,
And all its griefs / bear.
The smile whose light thou can'st
net see.
Tns grace that left thy side,
Though vanished from the earth, with
Ne
Forever they abide"
With Him I cannot be at strife;
Then will I kneel and say,
In love H gave me that sweet life,
In love He took away.
And loves unfailing life, in Him,
OICIasJs this arching sky;
For worlds may waste and SUNS grow
dim,
But love can die"
