Replying to toast in his own
honor, at a London banquet, Sir
Charles Topper, the ex-Premier
and former Agent General of
Canada in London, said that if
the Dominion were isolated il
must fall into the lap Of the United
States. He greatly admired the
United States, but was profoundly
convinced that union with Great
Britain was the only true security
for real liberty to ali parties.
The United States, he added, de
sired to absorb Canada. GCries
of They will never get it" The
Canadian fisheries were The chief
attraction for the United States
and the minerals OF the Dominion

the United States the finest har.

to Great Britain. He conteuded
that Canada's deep seated loyalty
to Great Britain would always be
an impossible barrier to ABSORB

PACIFIC CABLE.

The report of the Pacific Cable
Company has been signed. Ac-
cording to the Canadian Gazette,
London. it will satisfy the desire
for a Pacific cable service. The
report will he submitted 10 the
legislatures Of the colonies inter.
ested.
1t is understood that tho report
favors laying a cable at the earli.
est possible moment between
Vancouver and Australia, under
joint subsidies by England,
Canada, certain Australian colo
MES and New Zealand. 1t must
touch none but British territory,
leaving Hawaii to be tapped by
a branch line.
The Canadian delegates strong
ly favored the construction and
operation of the cable as a joint
government enterprise by an i'm.
perial colonial cable trust, Eng
land, Canada and Australia each
paying one third of the cost.
Official opinion in England,
supported by some Australasian
colonies, backed by strenuous cp-
position to the existing Eastern
Company monopoly, favored a
subsidy to an Independent COM
pany, which course probably will
be adopted. The cable will cost
about Sl0,0G0,000 to put down and
will be ready within two years.

TRIBUTES IN VERSE.
Paid to the Rev. II. $. Jones on His
Twenty Fifth Anniversary.


These lines, written by "Morfudd,"
were dedicated by the author to Rev.
II. S. Jones, of Providence, who We'd
nesday evening celebrated the twenty
fifth anniversary of his pastorate at
that place:
How shall sing to thee, my friend,
Upon this great ocCasion:
Shall 1 be sad, or joyful be.
To me it is a question.
1t is just five and twenty years
Since thou ddst take they station
AS shepherd of little flock
And thus this celebration.
Methnks I see of that little flock
Some old familiar faces,
Stepping aside so gracefully,
While others take their places.
Some have returned to Him who gave;
Others have departed
To make their homes in distant lands
Since thou with them hast started.
Those who remain have faithful been,
Thy joy and sorrow sharing;
While thou for precious souls did strive,
They helped thee in preparing.
The frost of many winter DAYS
Upon they head have rested:
Thy faithfulncss have tested.
But now the closing years have come
The race almost completed:
The promise is a crown of life,
And Satan's work defeated.
The following poem, the composition
of George w. Bowen, was read by the
author at the anniversary exercises:
10 - f,,Iy
When youth and pride, their beauty bore
Lo! many tear bcdims the eye,
When friendship scans tho distant shore,
Beloved Sir! the years have flown;
A fruitful few, and fleeing past,
Unequaled; and each bore IA crown,
Adorn the valleys of the past.
Five and Twenty" Oh, how long
When mirrored on the face of time;
How short? a soulful, soothing song
When filled with God-like deeds, sublime.
Such are Thine-a summer fair,
Bedecked with roses, pure and true;
Which fills Lies verdant, evening air,
With Loves eternal, fadeless hue.
Oh! the friends that stood beside thee.
Twenty-Five long years ago,
Some are prescnt-here-to greet thee
Some dear ones are laying low.
The deathless ties, Unsevered, golden;
Which, now, bind them all to thee;
OH how strong! Yea, still unbroken;
Embems Of Eternity.
| Golden sermons! Oh, how sweetly,
From thy lips Gods preccpts fall;
! Like the pearly dew, that nightly
! Falls to bless, and blessing all.
| Thy church; the congregation dear
In sweet communion, nobly stand;
| Increasing, with each passing year,
| Upheld, by thy God-holping hand.
| OFT, when tribulations drear,
Ger Life's pathway, scattering, fell;-
Thou didst soothe each sigh, each tear;
And of Christ, the Savior, tell;
/ How He bore the cross, the scourgingi
! How on sunless Calvary,
lie hung, the sacrifice, our ansom;
Dying for humanity.
| Tonight we meet, with one accord,
To greet our pastor dear
/ And wishing, hope, that the dear Lord
| VIII keep him with us here.
May God, who guides him on through life.
| Again His blessings pour
| On him and his beloved wife,
| While Agering on this shore
