We were not to be daunted, however, and es-

and undoubtedly rolled his eye and blinked at us.
We both stopped short and stared but his eye,
which had at first been wide open. remained
closed in wicked wink. Had we been supersti-
tious we certainly should not have stayed to in

formed by hole worn right through the granite.

They represent the rocks exactly they existed,
without any alteration whatever The mere out

photographs are indeed remarkable, but we be-
came fascinated with the desire to discover what
agencies Nature had employed in producing such
results In this hard granite. 1t was at first very
puzzllng, but light seemed at length to be thrown
on the problem by studying the forms of other
rocks in the island.

many parts of Corsica. The numerous caverns
in the mass of red granite in No. l are each of

people, and are Of more less orbcular form

WESTERN CANADA'S
PHENOMENAL
DEVELOP MENT
ITS PERwANENcY VERY LITTLE
QUESTIONED.

There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and In the course
Of time the bubble was pricked and
they burst But In no country has the
development been as great nor as
rapid, whether in city or In country,
as in Western Canada. There may
sometimes be found one who will say
Can it last?" Winnipeg. today, stands
where Chicago stands as far as be-
ing the base OF the great commercial
and agricultural country lying a
thousand miles back of 1t. 1t has an
advantage that Chicago did not have,
for no country in the worlds history
has attracted to its borders a larger
number Of settlers in so short time,
or has attracted so much wealth in a
period of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions 30 favorable as those that
exist In Western Canada today.
The provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan, and Alberta have the
largest area of desirable lands on the
North American Continent, and their
cultivation has just begun.
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop less than eight per
cent. OF the land is under the plough
four per cent. being in wheat. Less
than five years ago the wheat crop
was only seventy-one million bushels
1t is a simple calculation to estimate
that if four per cent. of the available
cultivable area produces something
over two hundred million bushels
what will forty-four per cent. produce!
And then look at the immigration that
Is coming into the country. In 1901
1t was 49,149: 10000 being from the
United States. In 1906 1t was 1S9,O64
of which $1,000 were Americans, and
in 1912 1t was about 100000, of which
about 100000 are Americans. In the
three years prior to 1912. there were
35SS59 persons who declared them
selves for Canada, who brought into
Canada in cash, bank drafts, stock
implements and effects over $350,OOO,
900. Why have they gone to Canada

AS this weathering action

proaches the surface OF the

through it, it meets with the
hardened outside crust al
ready described, and its
progress becomes very much
slower. This may happen
not only because the crust
is harder, but because the

heated through by the sun
and so the rormatlon ol ue"

An example of these outeI
crusts remaining after the
rock below has been eaten

On February II. 1913, the Lord in
His wisdom saw fit to reach down
and lift from our midst our darling
sister, Vonnie Haley Brewster, and

bleeding, and we realize that we have
lost one Of our dearest friends on
earth, we can almost here the "lnvis-

trance through the Beautiful Gate" Of
which she has talked so much. And
when we think Of her, the song
Asleep in Jesus" comes wildly to
our minds.
Feeling the SORE need of our darling
sislsr in our lives today, we dedicate
to her memory the following poem:
SISTER
Now she's gone, Oh! how we miss her,
Miss her willing hand,
Yes, her voice, so sweet and tender,
Is hushed in this low.land,
Yes, those cheeks grew much paler
In that sweet but faded face.
We are glad that we treated that dear
one kindly.
As we moved on through life race.
Though she's changed, yet we love
her,
We can ne'er forget her love.
Nor will we forget her teaching,
Pointing US to God above.
Sister dear, | make one promise.
That for Gods cause Ill live,
Following your good example,
trusting, ever trusting Him.
Trusting Christ as you did, Sister,
| can Satan power resist;
His temptations through LIES journey,
Shall not hinder in the least.
God has called you first, dear Sister,
10 that paradise Of love,
You may watch the Glory Portals.
For III meet you up above.
Oh! what Joy there is awaiting,
For the children Of the King.
Sister, when we meet up yonder,
There forever more we'll sing,
What rejoicing aud sweet singing,
There among the angels bright;
In that home where God our Father,
Ever reigns, can come no night.
Sister, just to think of being
With our kindred ever more,
Makes me praise our blessed Master,
Reigning now on Eden's shore.
While | live III ne'er cease pr ying,
For the lost, the sin-sick soul.
Sister, you | know will help me
Plead to make the unsaved whole.
Sister, we shall all soon be gathered
Around the everlasting throne,
Where no sad good,b bye are spoken,
And forever rest At home.
