Monkton, N. @. r. R.-Winter in all its
beauty has reigned for the last week. The
snow-crowned landscape is indeed JOY 10 the
appreciative observer. A trip to Baltimore on
the early morning train was recently taken
by your correspondent and as Old sol nung
his golden rays over the snow capped earth,
with here and there touch of brown earth
exposed and cascades of ice along the embank'
ments and bridges; the brilliant illumination
of the glorious sun threw light over the
scene that was indescribably lovely and to
devotee of Nature, soothing and suggestive OF
the wonderful power of the Creator OF all
beauty and the impotency of mere man-more
potent than many well-meant sermon to I'M
press Gods wonderful munificence in spread
ing magnificent panorama OF His divine
handiwork for the enjoyment OF men without
price, unlike men, who usually want dollars
and cents for their little puny efforts in any
direction. What a blessing to humanity 1T is
that there is no parsimony in Natures won
drous changes, but that through her silent
voice God impresses his oyerpowering superb
ority over mems conception of greatness.
