My Jesus is my shepherd,

He leads my feet in pastures sweet,
How safe and blessed | am
My Jesus is my Saviour,
He died on Calvary,
To save my soul and make me whole,
From sin to set me free.
My Jesus is my teacher,
How little do ! know
He guides my youth in ways of truth,
In knowledge makes me grow.
My Jesus is my leader,
He bids me take his hand,
And he alone will bear me on,
Up to the better land.
My Jesus spent his life,
In kind and loving deeds,

And follow where he leads

The Ladies' Gallery in the House of
Nounrnons

TINY woman who has been fortunate
AenOugh to sit behind the brass net
I work In the ladies' gallery Of the
House OF Commons must have won
dered why there were no better accommO-
dations for those who wished TO sit there
and hear a speech.
The reason for this dates back to a pc
rod a least half century before the
present House was built Its cause
was a certain bluff olE navy officer who
was more candid than gallant. A great
debate had attracted a large number of
women who not only crowded the gal
ier,es but overlooked onto the very floor
Of the House. The proximity OF so many
women incensed the naval captain to such
an extent that he moved the expulsion OF
the offending visitors. The motion was car
ried. but with It the trouble began instead
Of ended. The order was one thing. but
II was quite another to carry It out The
ladies held their ground for two hours
with tenacity worthy of better cause,
and when the last was elected the diff
GUILTY was at an end for that day only.
Previous 10 this tire women had been toll
Grated there as visitors. even though they
might not have Iut eIvCl "a warm welcome
and had been permitted 10 choose their
seats pretty much rs they wished, and this
state of affairs might have continued TIL
the present had it not been for the lntol-
erance of the irate naval officer and its at
tendant results. After this women were
vigorously excluded from the House, and
after many years, when this ungallant
attitude was relaxed, they were allowed To
pSep only from a small loft above the chan
delier between the ceiling and the roof.
Tue loft would be packed TO suffocaton,
for Il held but fourteen, and at best only
a glimpse could be had at the House
through a hole in the floor. This was in
Miss Bdgeworth's time, and she thus de-
acribes it:-"One lantern with a farthing
candle was the only light In the middle
OF the garnet Is what seemed like a SEN
try box Of deal boards and old chairs
placed round It. On these we got and stood
and peeped over the top of the boards
Saw large chandelier blazing with lights
Immediately below; a grating of iron
across yelled the light so that we could
look down and beyond It." But little was
to be seen except the Speakers desk and
the crowns Of few legislators heads.

put because OF the difference in language
kept themselves aloof from all cNcppt the
INDUSTRIAL life. This clannlsh spirit made
such strenuous resistance to American in
nuences that a serious body OF educators
founded the school.
Though the growth of the school was
slow at irst, owing to the difficulty OF
persuading students to enter. il has met
win such success that many applications
Tor entrance are now refused because Of
IhsuHclent accommodations. Some SIX
years ago the institution was opened TO
STUDENTS or all nationalities and there are
nov represented within its walls Arme-
mans, Greeks, Poles, Spaniards Russians
japanese, Italians, MacedonIans Svrians
Nova Scotians, French and Bulgarians.
MOST or those who enter have almost no
knowledge OF English. and no Diplomas
are given till they not only sneak tho
language fluently but write II as well ana
have some knowledge of its literature
often in the beginning Kindergarten r,otb.
OBS have to be used to start the student
In the path to knowledge.
The spirit Of helpfulness which exists
among the students is most gratifvlnv
one instance Is of a young Greek. who
had come directly across the ocean ana
had not word of English Among the
women students was one who spoke both
ancient and modern Greek and She volun
teered her services as Interpreter. For
weeks she was the only person in the in
sutution with whom he could speak. An
iother instance Is OF a young Italian who.
Ithough possessed OF a good mind. had
been brought up on a farm In Italy and
had had absolutely no school training
Though the faculty felt a great interest in
him they had not the time to give 10 his
first steps and so did not encourage him
ito enter But the students volunteered to
teach him till his education was far
enough advanced to be continued by the
teachers.
Many Of the students have considerable
education but understand no English
One was Catholic priest from Syria a
man forty years old, who had heard of the
school from the missionaries in his coun-
try.
