The first alligator found in the Colorado
river in many years has been captured in a
lagoon below Yuma Ariz. The saurian was
roped, cowboy style, while summing itself
on a sand bank. and was tied up in the

been handled. 1t measured eleven feet in
length and thirty-eight inches around the
thickest portion OF its body.

Sometimes the question arises why so

"Joy to the World"

Now to the Lord Of Hosts let rise
Our hymns of joyous praise;
He leads our feet to victory
Through dark and troubled ways;
Our flag He makes the symbol of
His righteous wrath that Stays;
In lands He hath appointed US
His promise it displays.
Take heart, take heart OF grace, ye poor
On whom the tyrant trod;
The Hand that made the universe
Now holds the guiding rod;
His mandate has gone forth that he
Who sows shall reap the sod;
Our flag waves there proclaiming it
The herald-1ag of Cod
Our flag waves there proclaming It,
Where blows the morning breeze:
In Occident and Orient.
At home on all the seas;
Sign of our power and purpose
To fulfill the Lords DEGREES
That to none but Him alone
Shall mankind bend the knees.
His lightnings write it on His skies
The Lord doth speak the word;
His reverberating thunders sound
1t where their crash is heard
His storm winds to proclaim it from
Their desert caves are stirred;
His earthquake furies herald it
The Lord God speaks the word!
And yield we not to sateless lusts
or power and unclean greed
And reck we we'll what harvest come
Whence we shall sow the seed
And build we not to our behoof
Upon our brothers need
So shall the Lord consider US;
Our will shall all men heed.
Rise, we, and take our cross, nor fear,
Nor yield to feshly lures,
Nor shrink our destiny, to break
The shard man S soul immures;
For high as He the Man shall rise,
Gods promise still assures;
The Lord hath said, the earth shall pass.
The Lord Gods word endures!

The Bpwcrth League OF Queen Stree:
NJ. e. church, NOW one Of the most flour
ishing leagues in the city, celebrated
its second anniversary last night In
the lecture room of the church, which
was filled with an interested audience.
The exercises were Of an extremely at
tracuve nature, and were much en-
1oyed. The programme was in charge
Of the efficient president. Mr.. Robert w.
Coates, who announced THE numbers.
The Rev. Graham Lambeth, of Hamp-
ton, led THE singing, which was un-
usually good.
The programme began with hymn,
followed by prayer offered by Mr.
Lambeth. after which the president re-
ported briefly the main features of the
work done during the past year. Among
the figures quoted were THE following
Average attendance, so; visits to sick
and poor, 1856; new members, %; amount
raised, Sl91.54. 1t may he stated, fur
'ther. that the league has a member
ship now of about 40, and the average
attendance is even better than 1t used
to be, nearly a hundred members being
present at recent meetings.
The chief feature of the admirable
programme, however. was striking
address by the Rev. L. II. Spooner OF
Lam3srts Point. His theme was
Strength. MIR. Spooner is a young
man himself and very much interested
In Epworth League work. He was in
tharough sympathy with his subject
ard with his hearers, and his talk, there.
fore, made deep impre ssion. It's chief
| atiff-was to show the necessity and
beauty of spiritual strength, and to
prove what q factor It is In the build
ing of a Christian character, and The
living of Christian life. With his
irn grasp on the subject, his forcible
logic and Istra ighforwardness of ex-
preston. he achieved this aim readily
Among the other numbers of the
programme were these:
