Hymns You Ought to Know
our GOD, Our HELP IN AGES PAST
BY Isnnc Watts
BY Isaac Watts


In spite OF the fact that Watts was
almost a wholesale hymnmaker and in
spite OF the fact that he wrote some OF
the worst doggerel that children have
ever been forced to learn, it yet remains
that some of the nohlest Christian
hymns are OF his authorship. Some of
these were composed in the course ol
setting the psalms into verse, task
which he accomplished in an incredibly
short time. Probably this metrical ar
rangement of the ninetieth psalm was
the best piece of work in all that great
undertaking. Certainly it has become a
favorite hymn with many famous men,
and it is sung in the churches more
frequently than any of the many other
hymns OF the author, save perhaps his
When Survey the Wondrous Cross. y
Our God, our help in ages past;
Our hope for years to come.
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
Under the shadow OF thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame.
From everlasting thou art God
To endless years the same.
A thousand ages in thy sight,
Are like an evening gone;
Short as watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
Time like an ever-rolling stream
Bears all its sons away;
They hv, forgotten. as dream
Dies at the opening day.
Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.

THE oLp.sTYLE cAMP-MEETlNc

The old.style camp'meeting is being
rapidly side.iracked these new-iangled
days for the stilted protracted" meet
ing which people attend if they can
find time from their household duties
With business ringing in the beads of
the few men who 60, and dinner caus.
ing an anxious twitch in the faces Of
tho women, the Lord gets mighty little
consideration in the up-to.date pro.
tracted meeting. In the old days of
long ago once year the people dropped
their secular business, and in some
cool sequestered spot where . lazy
spring struggled through the bung.
hole of barrel or dripped over the
mossy rim of sunken.box, an arbor
was built and around it tents or tenn
porary structures of wood. A couple
of weeks were given over to the serv.
ice OF the Lord and q campaign in.
sugurated against the devil. In those
days none Of these modern hop.and.
go-fetch.it ditties were sung, as now,
but the good old hymns that stirred
the heart and brought salvation down.
The grove meeting was . valuable
auxiliary, and the after.meeting, full
OF the groanings Of repentance, was an
effective adjunct. They have gone, all
gone, and religion, like everything
material, is being rebound in . de lure
edition, according to modern plans and
methods.
And yet why should not the church
improve in all its ways and means as
we'll as anything elsef Why should
not the gospel.wagon now be . rubber.
tired automobile, or the old ship OF
Zion be . Hill liner?

One of the most perplexing problems
with which the order-loving mother
has to contend is to decide where to
put the children's toys. If placed in
the cupboard they keep the floor in an
unsightly litter, and the dust gathers
quickly under them.
One of the most convenient devices
is box couch Z feet in length 3 feet
feet wide, and 8 feet deep. To this is
q hinged top. The box 10 covered with
. deep red cretonne; and on the lid is
fitted and securely fastened q hair
mattress, also covered with cretonne.
Into this thoroughly ornamental piece
of furniture the toys may be stored
every night, it being the children's
duty to pick up everything from the
floor and put it away in neat and or.
derly manner, says Woman's Lite.
They become accustomed to this
task, and perform it with perfect
cbeerfulness, and with q delightfully."-
pleasant conviction that they are help.

READ THE SAME BACKWARD.
PaIindromss In the English Lansuase Are Often
Surprising.


Surprising.
It is not generally known that there
are many words in the English Ian.
gnage which read the same backward
as forward. Such common words as
"nun," noou," ETC., are examples oi
this, and one notices them every day.
But there are other examples which
are little surprising when they are
pointed out. Repaper," for instance.
is an unexpected palindrome. "Glen.
elg" is another. Deified,". Han.
nah," madam" reviver"-these are
all more or less surprises and some ol
them very apt, especially "reviver,'
for which way you take it the effect is
the same.
There are others: Redder," "Ro.
tatOr," "shahs," "sexes," "level,' u
minim." but the s.rangest are those
which, not being palindromes them
selves, lend their aid in the construc
ton OF the palindromic sentence. The
following Is q good example: ode
serts I desire not, go long no lost one
rise distressed"
Probably the best OF these verba
curiosities are, however, Napoleon'l
well.known palindrome, cable was
ere I saw Elba," and one OF moro loca
origin, Yreka Bakery"

Pathetic Story Of Child Among HALF Civilized
Reds.

Pathetic Story Of Child Among HALF Civilized
Reds.
A special from Vancouver, B. c., to
Seattle, dated the 10th inst, says:
A tragedy of the woods ended in the
death of a pretty little fair-haired girl,
3 years of age. For more than year
she had been living with the half-civ'
ilized Indians that inhabit the almost
impenetrable forests of Northern Can
ada. From village to village the po'
lice hunted and trailed her. With the
instinct born of the forest, the Indiani
passed her from village to village and
at last as . more effectual method ol
Disgusting her, painted her body with
. cancoction Of roots and herbs which
stained her skin to tie dusky brown
OF the natives.
She was at last located by the police
and taken to the home of the Child.
ren's Aid Society in Vancouver. But
the concoction with which she had
been painted had poisoned her. Doc
tors worked on the case Intellectually
She died soon after. The child wal
the daughter Of Scotchman and q
quarter.breed Indian girl. The girl
gave the child into the keeping of he'
distant Indian relatives in order to bt
free of it. The baby was very fair and
was first seen by hunters in village
north OF Alert bay. They reported
the matter to the authorities who In
vestigated the case, finally rescuinf
the child.
