The act of canonization of st. Sera-

the Russian authorities as purely do

tives were not invited. Few foreigners
knew of the matter beforehand, and
those who asked for permission to at

modations of the monastery had been

vocate of union between the Anglican
and Orthodox churches Jared no better.
An Englishman and myself were, as
far as l know, the only foreigners that
went, and we were made to feel that
our presence was undesired. Notwith-
standing this, and the discomforts we
shared with peasants wearing sheep
skin coats and birch bark footgear, we
were richly repaid by the opportunity
to study Russia at close range, and to
witness a marvellous manifestat ton OF

Canning Hints.


Equal parts of currant juice and SUI

black raspberrles.
The gummed flaps of unused en-
velopes furnish handy strips to mark
jelly, jam, etc, plainly.
Don't risk spelling can Of choice

If in canning fruit old rubbers must
be used on the jars, try using two at
time to keep the contents of the jar

To prevent jam sticking to the kettle

A SONG.

When pallid Dawn comes up the sky.
And Day and Night for moments brief
Touch hands and lips, the waking Sea
Bethinks her of some ancient grief.
Haggard and wrinkled, gray and grim.
She means the burden of her care,
The ghost of that wild thing that leapt
BY day the winds wild sport to share
Belize the voices of the dead.
Tossed in her boundless charnel caves
Since mans first ship was drawn to
death,
Haunt her above her beating waves.
Or else there presses on her heart
The weight of immemorial age.
Before the sun brings back to mind
Her youths eternal heritage.
