population is nearly a million.
At a recent meeting OF the Royal Geogra-
phical Society, reported in the January num-
her of the Geographical journal. an instruc-

Alfred Sharpe, who was Governor for some
wears and retired only last year.
The following short extract from the pa

"rhere are two or three motor-cars in the

\ MIRACLE IN KELLY'S ALLEY

There was sound Of Wrangling
and Of hot words within, and now
aud then a thud or sound Of break
ing crockeTy gave evidence that &C
ton was taking the place Of words
as a means Of settling the family Jar.
The deaco1ess paused on the upper
step and steadied herself mentally
before she knocked. She knew we'll
enough what she would fnd--it had
become an old story to her. Kate
never sent for her except when Tim
was con a tear" but always then
she turned to "Sister Dora" as she
called the daaconess, sure that she
would straighten him out and re-
store peace in the family circle.
"But what's the real use anyway"
she ruminated. cit never lasts and
it never will unless something hap
pens to change the very natures Of
them both. Only a miracle will do
that and miracles don't often happen
in Keily's Alley"
The next hour was REPETITION or
many similar hours in the past. Big
Tim was a warm-hearted. quick-tem-
pered Irishman and Kate was his
match in both respects. Tim had
gotten into the habit Of stopping at
| Mikes Place on his way home of
nights, and taking glass with the
boys there. At first it seemed not
to matter much but gradually Tins
| temper had grown uncertain and his
| choice of words far from select. The
change began to mirror itself in Kate
as well and things had gone from bad
to worse until Of late one quarrel
had simply succeeded another Tim
was drinking more and more heavily
kate was losing all hope and pa
tience. The little deaconess alone
could arouse the latent spark OF
manliness within him now and wher
the dark hours came Kate always
sent for her.

LOVE SwEETENs ALL 1T
TOUCHES.

Some things which must be done
are very disagreeable TO those who
have TO do them. The tasks OF study
the tasks of business. the tasks oi
professional life are often irksome
We have heard that the duties OF
home are irksome 10 some people
There are mothers who loatke the
work which occupies their hands
their brain, and their time. and sigh
for freedom from the drudgery OF
. home. There are young people who
are not happy in their home life.
They spend as much time away from
home as possible, and when they
must go home they count the hours
tedious which they are compelled TO
spend under the parental roof.
Religion is irksome to some men
and women who nevertheless would
not be willing TO give it up. Prayer
is to them a disagreeable duty, and
they fetch a sigh of relief when 1t
is over. and do not return TO it again
for many days. The Bible is dull
book which they only read once in a
long while when they have nothing
else to read. The Sabbath is a dreary
day, and the services of the sane
tuary are bore. They find no lux
ury in their religion from first to
last. They give grudgingly and
worship reluctantly.
Why is it so? Is it not sweeter
than honey and the honey comb? So
the Bible teaches. Why then is it
irksome to so many people? Why
this contrast between the theory and
practice of religion? The reason is
not far to seek.
Why is the home life irksome to so
many? 1t is because one note has
been dropped from the music, the
note Of love. Let love be the key
note of the home life. Drop the note
of love, and no matter what you SUBJ
stitute in its place, fine music, fine
preaching, fine society, or what not,
you can not save it from becoming
WEAKNESS to the flesh and the
mind. But sound the note of love,
clear and strong, and it will sweeten
every prayer, every OdUUdtu udy anu
every good work.
Even the bitter things of life will
be sweetened by love. A lady in the
hospital, who had suffered much,
said she was glad she had been Ill,
because the letters, the calls, the
flowers, and other tokens of sym
pathy and appreciation she had re-
ceived made even her sufferings a
blessing. She did not know she had
so many friends, or that they cared
so much for her, or that friendship
was SO sweet in adversely. The bit;
terest cup of sorrow and afI1iction
with love is sweeter far than the best
wine of Satan's banquet. When love
rules the heart, there will be some
thing at the bottom of every cup,
which is sweeter than honey and the,
honey comb.-Australian Christian
World.
