AN ANGEL or PATIENCE.

To weary hearts. to mourning homes.
Gods meekest angel gently comes;
No power has he to Danish pain.
Or give us back our lost again;
And yet In tenderest love our dear
And heavenly Father sends him here.
There's quiet in that angels glance.
There's rest In his still countenance;
He mocks no grief with idle cheer,
Nor wounds with words the mourner's S
ear;
But ills and woes he may not cure
lie kindly trains us to endure.
Angel Of Patience, sent to calm
Our feverish brows with cooling palm
To lay the storms OF hope and fear
And reconcile life's smile and tear;
The throbs OF wounded pride to still
And make our own our Fathers will
D thou who mournest on thy way.
With longing for the close of day;
He walks with thee, that angel kind.
And gently whispers. BE resigned
Bear up. bear on. the end shall tell,
The dear Lord ordereth all thing
WELL"
John G. Whittier.

How often do we seem to be re-
straining every trace of cheerfulness.
Indeed, in the minds of many who are
not Christians, the words religious
and gloomy" are synonymous. We
may well ask ourselves II this wronS
idea of Christianity is not the result
of the religious frown" that we all
know so well. We profess to have
found in the religion of Jesus Christ
a remedy for every anxiety and TO be
lieve that all things work together for
our good II Is our duty. therefore, to
show. by cheerful. happy daily wor@
that we have something far better
than the world has to offer. Our fel
low men have a right to expect some
evidence of our profession other than
church attendance. We are bearing
false witness against our Lord and
Master and bringing His cause into re-
proach when we fail to meet every cir
cumstance of life in cheerful spirit.

There are now in Norway 1888 saw
mills, employing 1908 people, and 196
pulp mills, employing 1920 people
with at least $4,000 other persons en-
gagged during the winter season in
stripping the mountains and turning
the forest land into deliberate wastes
They take everything. The big trees
go TO the sawmills and the little ones
TO the pulp factories. IL is estimated
that within the next half century tine
timber resources of Norway will be
practically exhausted at the present

to his judgment
The circumstances which led to his
venture were as follows: In July. 1881,

manned by Newfoundlers. left st.
Johns for Lady Franklin bay. an inlet
on the northwest coast of Greenland
She was conveying the American sci
entific expedition, consisting OF Lieut.
A. w. Greedy, in command. with "a
companions. mostly selected from the
United States signal service. Their
purpose was to carry out scientific OBJ
servations and explore the surround
ing country. Every precaution was
taken TO make the expedition success
full. but the summer of 1882 proved un-
favorable. and the relief party under
Mai. Bebee could not penetrate the ice
barriers of Melville bay. Greedy and
his men watched for the ship In vain.
They then tried to battle their way
south. Another relief party went to
seek the explorers. but was nipped in
the ice and It's crew barely escaped.
Greedy and his men set to work to bat
tie out the winter. but their disasters
were only beginning One after an
other perished until only seven re-
mained. They were reduced TO feed
on lichens and shellfsh, and daily
prayed for the relief of death,

In the meantime the squadron which
Schley commanded was hourly nearing
them. When the Yantic returned the
preceding autumn with the crew of the
wrecked Proteus and the tale of her
misfortune. what 1t imported OF the
Greedy expedition was very apparent,
and the United States Navy Depart
ment began immediate preparations
for a thoroughly equipped relief ex-
peaition as soon as the spring should
open. Two OF her best steam sealers,
oak built ships specially fortified to
| contend with the ice, the Thetis and

he might have every aid toward living.
Sad to say. he died under the amputa-

The others were more fortunate. and

all made into soup. Since land

abandon any scientific work. anything
that could be used for fuel or food had
long gone. and a picture of desolation
rarely equaled faced the spectators
of this tragedy of the north.
