Our M aster.

Immortal love, for ever full,
For ever flowing free,
For ever shared for ever whole,
A never-ebbing sea!
No fable old, nor mythic lore,
Nor dream of bards and seers.
No dead fact stranded on the shore
OF the oblivious years.
But warm, sweet tender, even Yet
A present help Is He;
And faith has still its OiYet
And love its Galilee.
The healing OF His seamless dress
Is by our beds OF pain;
We touch Him in lifes throng and
press.
And we are whole again.
Our Friend. our Brother and our Lord.
What may Thy service be?
Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word.
But simply following Thee.
Thy litanies, sweet Offices
or love and gratitude;
Thy sacramental liturgies,
The JOY of doing good.

1t now seems to be generally admit
ted that about 10000 persons lost their
lives as a result of the outbreak of the
Mont Pelee volcano at st. Pierre on
Thursday last. The United States con-
sui at Guadeloupe, Louis III. Ayme, has
reached the desolate spot where st.
Pierre stood, and confirms the awful
story in all it's essential details. From
an interview with Colonel Ayme, who
is trained newspaper man, a CORE
sDondent of the Associated Press
learned the following facts:
Awful Story Briefly Told.
Briefly put, last Thursday morning
the city Of st. Pierre disappeared with
in ten minutes, in a whirling fire vom-
tied from Mont Pelee; thirty thousand
persons were instantly and horribly
killed, and the volcano whose ancient
crater for more than fifty years had
been occupied by quiet lake in which
picnic parties bathed, suddenly dis
charged a torrent of fiery mud which
rolled toward the sea, engulfng every
thing before it. Then the last of cable
communication was broken and the
doomed city was isolated from the
world.
Preliminary to the Catastrophe.
Thursday morning the inhabitants
of the city awoke to find heavy clouds
shrouding the Mont Pelee crater. All
day Wednesday horrid detonations had
been heard. These were echoed from
ST. Thomas on the north to BaradOeS
on the south. The cannOnading ceased
on Wednesday night, and fine ashes
fell like rain on st. Pierre. The inhab-
itants were alarmed, but Governor
Mouttet, who had arrived at st. Pierre
the evening before, did everything pos
Sible to allay the panic. The British
steamer ROraima reached st. Pierre
on. Thursday with ten passengers,
among whom were Mrs. Stokes and
her three children, and Mrs. H. J. Ince.
Swept by Cyclone of Fire.
They were watching the rain Of
ashes when, with a frightful roar and
terrific electrical discharges, a cyclone
of fire, mud and steam swept down
from the crater over town and bay,
destroying the fleet of vessels at an
Choir off the shore and wiping out ST..
Pierre at the same instant. There the
accounts Of the catastrophe so far OBJ
tainable cease. Thirty thousand cOrpses
are strewn about, buried in the ruins
Of st. Pierre, Or else floating, gnawed
by sharks, in the surrounding seas.

A Queer japanese Marriage Custom

Wild geese are considered the best
examples of conjugal felicity in the
animal world. Thus the Japanese
groom sends the bride pair of these
birds, and she in turn presents them to
her parents. To further emphasize the
matter the groom brings another pair
to the wedding, and they roost in the
room during the ceremony. Their con-
duct is watched with care, for they
must not struggle to escape during the
proceedings. Fortunate is the bride
groom who cannot secure the geese
alive and must be content to substitute
toy limitations of the birds, for then
he has no anxiety lest the wild propen-
sity assert itself during the marriage
rites and thus prove an i'll omen to the
