The Flora Of Chaucer.

lust 500 years ago, in little house
within the the garden OF ST. Mary S
Chapel, Westminster, died the sire q
English poetry. Oct. %, 400, was a
day on which great light passed be-
vond the ken of men. Darkened Tor a
time, it's radiance has frightened and
diffused itself down the centuries until
now it is the guiding star OF all who
seek to know our mother tongue.
Chaucers verse marks an epoch in the
English language and literature, but
strongly as it appeals to the bookman,
to the antiquary, and to the thoughtful
observer OF those earlier conditions OF
social lite, its study is from less salient
point of view of almost equal worth.
Among tine many critical analyses
which this anniversary calls forth, a
word may we'll be given to Chaucer's
poetry in its relation to flora of England
Not only is living therein the charm OF
English fields, the song of lark, the tut-
terlng leaves and breath of meadow
sweet. but Chaucer, first, in some degree,
gives expression to that subjective pleas
ure in the outer world, so distinctive an
element in modern lie, but hitherto un-
recognized in literature and almost un-
known to individual emotion, The IN
tellectua enjoyment of nature is largely
the outcome, the fine etfloresceuce, OF
scientific study, Slight trace Of its exist
ence is seen in the older classics. In its
more subtle phases, even in Chaucer the
force is but nescent. The opening words
of the Canterbury Tales tell how I'M
der the quickening influences OF spring,
"lonRen folk to 60 on pigrimages,' an
impulse which was chiefly physical ex
hilaration. Chaucer was himself a typl-
cal Englishman, with the love OF out
door life permeatiug his whole being, but
the poets fancy touched to finer issues
that recipient temperament. His pages
bubble over in gladness as
"The smale foules maBen mclodie,"
and even, when approaching old age, he
sat down to write his marvellous tales,
like his own Perkin Revelour.

SUGGESTED HYMNS
The Changed New England Sunday.

IT the Sunday people of a generation
ago should come back to earth and visit
New England on Sunday they would
mourningly ask, where has Sunday
gomez" The day was then covered with
services. and that in the afternoon might
be more largely attended than the morn
ing. In some communities the hard
working people did not seem to wake up
much earlier than dinner time, and the
evening congregation would be the
largest of the day. Now there are few
afternoon services-while in the evening
the minister breaches and the choir sings
to many empty seats. People are will
ing to go to church once. Then, they ex-
pect change Sunday. the season of
worship, is left behind. There arrives a
kind of modified God day, timely for
making calls or receiving calls, and for
riding Christian InteligenGer.

LESSON THOUGHTS,

God requires of us, not that we love
parents and sisters and brothers less
but that we love him supremely. He
even commands flial love; but it must
never eclipse our love for him.
1t is unwise to make decision TOR
Christ without counting the cost. Bur
dens must be borne; sacrifices must be
suffered No one who has thoughtiully
decided for Christ has ever been unhappy
in his choice; but it is because his willing
ness to suffer, if need be, enables him to
rejoice even in tribulations.
