WHY BULLER REITERATED.
[soNG or THE BoER WOMAN

Trekkiug. trekkingl trekking! Will never
the trekking be done?
. Will never the rest, will never the home be
won, and forever won?
Are we only as beasts of the jungle afoot for
the fleeing prey
With lair in the bush at midnight-on the
veldt, trackless way?
Ever the word is "onward'-ever our white
train goes
Deeper aud deeper northward beyond the
grasp of our foes
Deeper and deeper northward our fathers
went before
But the door of the veldt is closed-is,
closed!-where can we trekk to more?
Trekking trekking! trekking! Think you
we love not our home?
Think you my father priced not the farm of
the yellow loan?
And mother--I see her weeping beside my
bother tall,
Turning and gazing northward beyond the
mountain wall,
The cattle-they seem to be standing dumb
in brute despair
With longing look at the pastures-they
teel the trekk in the air!
Even old Yok seems broken-he turns from
the tempting bone
| see him there in the corner, manlike brood
ing alone!
Irekking! trekking! trekking through the
Zulu.and we go;
The midnight tiger stalking us, and ever the
savage foe
Before-the savage foe to meet, the ''red coat
toe behind
What have we done to be blown about Like
leaf upon the wind?
All! over the Vaal we shall hnd our peace
over the rushing Wall
The Lord has led us to rest at last--blindly
we followed His call.
The land He promised is ours to keep-is
ours forever to keep
Pie; what noise is that in the fold-think
you wolf at the sheep?
Trekking! treklng! trekking Ne have
trekked till our tall, strong men
Have sworn an oath by our fathers
God, we shall never trek again!
The doors of the northward veldt are closed
the doors of our hearts are strong
They shall open their lock to brothers.
kuock-but not to the threat of wrong
There is the gun your father bore when he
climbed Majuba's hill
''ris yours, Piet, to bear it now with your
fathers faith and will
For the land is ours-the land is ours-lf
ever land was won-
You go at the dawn, you say, my son!
Yes-go at the dawn, my son!

{ We'll Known Missionary Spoke Before | the Mems Club Last Night
 Rev. William c. Puddefoot, the well
 known missionary, spoke before the | Mems club at United church last night l The subject was Some Religious Mo- l tions of the West" and he gave some very interesting incidents that have taken place while doing work in the missionary field. The speaker possesses an inexhaustible fund of humor and kept the congregation in almost contin- ual laughter during his address. He
 gave an account of his travels through
 the western states and told what
 great need for missionaries there was
 in that section of the United States
 He said the people in the east were
 not one-half liberal enough in their do- nations for the Home Missionary as-
 sociation and that every dollar given here would be covered with dollar of the western people, Money is one of the great needs in order to carry on missionary work He told some very pitiful stories of how many people have died right under his own eyes simply for the want of a little relief. "In the west" he said, ''the relief problem is not half solved, and here is where peo- pie must know of the great lack of Christian teaching, and we are power less to save a soul.
 'The Christian religion is too much like Buffers army MT. Puddefoot said. Tt Is In retreat most of the time. God help Butler"
 "There are fifteen hundred towns In the west and southwest where there are no copies of the gospel and there are almost as many men who never saw church or heard a sermon, Those are the men we want to reach; those are the towns that should be aided There | are 10000 people who would meet us half way, and should even an effort be | made the result might be of great | good.'
 MT. Puddefoot gave some incidents of | life in the wild western cities, where l most of the living is done in the saloon. l Some interesting results that have been 1 in the south were also | told of and all through the address was a most interesting one.

NEW MOTIVE POWER.
A Motor Driven by the Force of tn
 Oceans Wave.

A Motor Driven by the Force of the
 Oceans Wave.
 If system of utilizing that wonder full and well known power, created by the waves-called the wave notion could be successfully and commercially solved, one of the greatest inventions of the Snineteenth century would be ac- complished, and it's earning power would far exceed that of any of the great Inventions. Why? Because one of the greatest powers of the universe would be harnessed and made to turn the wheels of thousands and thou sands of industries.
 No one doubts for moment that Old Ocean is constantly creating, day and night, millions upon millions of horse- power that ought to be put to practical and commercial use, and to solve this mighty problem has been the ambition of host of inventors during all the past ages, and, like all of the great problems. it has been believed that somebody would one day devise a sys- tenn to solve this one, and the cheapest power ever known will then be given to the world.
 An invention has been perfected by which this is done and a company has been formed to build plants for the purpose of generating electricity by the ocean's power. A float is anchored wherever there is wave motion, or tides and currents. Upon the deck of this float is placed simple apparatus which, upon the slightest motion of this float, causes corresponding mo- tion of the arms of the apparatus which in turn, operates series of pump valves, and, day and night, compressed air Is automatically stored in reser- voirs. This compressed air operates an engine which drives the dynamos and an electric current, is continually accumu- lated in storage battery plant from whence the current is supplied to the consumer, giving the cheapest heat, light and power.
 The Model Marine Motor company, whose advertisement will be found on another page of this issue, has located at rooms 209 and 210 in the First Ma tional bank building, corner of Church and Crown streets, where the company has set up it's apparatus and will be | glad to have all who may be interested l call and investigate this wonderful, but | simple method of generating power.

'PoKE AT / HOWARD AVENUE

CHURCH.
 Rev. MT, Puddefoot spoke in the morning before a large congregation at the Howard avenue Congregational church. His address was very Inter- esting bAnd he held the close attention of the congregation by his apt and forecful Illustrations. He spoke of the necessity of a more practical applied tion of religion to the everyday affairs of this life, and cited the fact of there being thirteen hundred towns In this country without a church. "The req son." he said, lis hard times, As matter of fact the man who says the times are hard utters blasphemy, for we in this country don't know what hard times are. The trouble is that we to-day have everything we need, and we're pretty near drunk with prosperi- ty. We think only of Gods bread and forget that we are equally dependent upon His Word. Men cannot live by bread alone they are dependent upon every word which comes from the Lords mouth.

To Keep the Sink Clear.

Upon the proper care of the sink the
healthfulness Of the kitchen largely
depends. All the newer and better
houses are fortunately fitted up with
porcelain or enamelled sinks that are
far ahead of the old time iron sink,
which rusts when unpainted and
which will look untidy when painted.
1t Is possible to keep the sink fresh
and clean by using copperas and water
or by using ammonia. One pound Of
copperas dissolved in gallon of boil
ing water Is the right solution, and
one cupful of this to a quart of hot
water makes a good daily wash for
the sink. Strong and cheap ammonia
is first rate for cleaning out the pipe
when poured down it undiluted. But
If you have a painted sink with which
to struggle, there is nothing much bet
ter than kerosene oil to rub over the
paint and brighten it.
A lump of soda is sometimes suffi-
cient to start up action in waste pipe
that has become clogged from greasy
water.

To sigh because the norn is past,

And know that which is still undone
Must now remain so till the last!
